A New Earth.......

When I heard that Oprah & Eckhart Tolle were doing The New Earth book on webcam with Skype, the thing that awed me the most was that 11 million people from all over the world are participating. THAT excites me, what a GREAT idea.....I got so excited about the possibility that I visioned with Ted, our wonderful new web wizard. We expanded in consciousness on what is possible for our Religious Science Morristown website and he came up with things I have never even heard of. The beautiful part of Oprah & Eckhart Tolle's program is how people's hearts and minds are being opened in ways that are transforming the way people look at spirituality. People are literally being freed from religious dogma and past conditioning that no longer serves them. Then there are those who are deeply committed to their religion and are diving deeper into it, so it is becoming practice instead of just theory. Then there are those people who are newly exposed to New Thought and hear the message in a way that they may not hear at a Science of Mind center, and our teaching begins to make sense in a new way.
Something big is happening regarding our kind of teaching, it IS become the household word that I saw it become in my vision many years ago,
It is no longer weird to talk about spiritual matters, about the Law of Cause and Effect, about taking full responsibility for our lives and about having the freedom to create an awesome life for ourselves and others. JIPPPPEEEE.
THE WORLD IS WAKING UP TO WHAT WE HAVE KNOW FOR OH, SO LONG!
CAN YOU FEEL IT??
Use that lovely energy while it is hot......tssssssss.
Joyful blessings, rev. frankie

Spring is here!

Can you feel it? Can you hear it?
There is a vibrancy in Mother Nature that is about to bust out. The daffodils are showing their yellow sunshiny faces. The forsythia is popping open. The many different pink hued blossoms are beginning to show. The sun is feeling warmer than it has in months and the air is alive with new life. I find myself wanting to shed all the many layers of clothes, but it is still a little too cold for that. I feel like skipping on the grass and taking deeper breaths.

I love this time of year, it says NEW BEGINNING! It inspires me to let go of the old and bring in the new. I invites being in the moment more, because it IS so vibrant and new and fresh.

So, take some time, slow down, see the new day each day since everything is changing so quickly!
Let nature be your guide! Let nature remind you that invisible does not mean non-existent and that nothing really dies.

Life longs to be lived by us and when we say yes nothing can stop it from finding expression.
We need not ever know the HOW, just the WHAT.

So, what is your deepest longing? Let nature show you, hold it close to your heart and Let Universal Law make it so!

Blessed love, rev. frankie

To me the the third loveliest of all winter days is the kind where the sun shines brightly, the sky is a perfect blue, the wind makes the leafless tree branches wave side to side and the air is crisp and cold.
The second is when it snows and snows and snows, so that we want to stay cozely at home except maybe for a walk in the fresh new snow to make snow angels.
The first is a rare magical morning like the one in the picture. This picture was made by my brother-in-law Harrie on a recent morning in The Netherlands when he went out jogging with a friend. I could not believe the picture, I find it worthy of a photography prize, I couldn't believe it was real.....it made me weep with gratitude and awe. It turned out it had been very foggy the evening before, then it began to freeze during the night, when the sun came out in the morning the land looked like this until the sun burnt it off.

Have you had moments like these? Moments where you say to yourself:"There is a God"!!
They fill your heart and soul. They make you go quiet. They make you be grateful that you are alive to witness such awe & beauty. They make you feel alive.

We know from our teaching that no one and nothing MAKES us feel anything, a feeling is already there and something (or someone) taps it so we may become aware. That's a beautiful thing, even if it is about some of our uglier feelings. It is beautiful, for conscious awareness is a GIFT. It is a gift of power because it gets us in touch with the power of self-awareness and self-knowledge and that allows us a greater sense of freedom. In freedom we have infinite choices and our choices create our experience.
And then there is the lovely awareness that makes our days Perfect: Spirit in all, as all, everywhere, all the time...in case you forget, look....really look...at this amazingly magical picture. A snapshot of Spirit in Form.
Many blessings & much love!!

For many years now, I have been writing poetry, Mostly I have kept it to myself.
My heart is now telling me to share and a poetry collection is in the "works".
My poetry is a way to experience life deeply.
I long more than anything for that, to live and love deeply.
Here I share one of my poems....
With love, rev. frankie



ALWAYS LOOKING


Always looking on beaches for the perfect shell, stone, driftwood or beach glass…

Always looking for that most magnificent, awesome music, that shall burst open my
heart….

Always looking for that wonder hair product that shall shape my silver curls in the way I
love it most…..

Always looking for that book, poem or piece of writing that just totally wakes up my
soul…..

Always looking for that magical taste or smell in food or fragrance – eating and sniffing
my way through quaint towns and special shops……

Always looking
Always looking
Always looking

Come to find
It ain’t out there
It cannot be found in a store, a story, a song or a hair gel……nor in a mouthful or a
whiff

It can only be found in my soul’s story
It can only be found within
In the silence and emptiness of the love in my heart
And THAT I have found

It’s right here, right now
In this quiet place of stillness
In my breathing
In the warm darkness behind my eyes
When I stop looking and just find

Just find it right where I am
In what I am and who I am
Touching my God Self
Hearing the sound of my heart beat
Smelling my own skin,
Listening to my own inner wisdom
Recognizing the beauty of my own authenticity
Which is complete.
Not looking, just finding. God.

THINK!

A new year, a fresh new perspective, a wide open field of possibilities..........
Let go of resolutions you don't keep any way, let go of fears and worries triggered by bad news on TV and in newspapers and let go of the past....THINK! Think about who you REALLY are! Think about what you REALLY want. Think about what you REALLY need to let go of, so that what's possible may be born! In our teaching we talk about mind a lot and so it is important to use the mind that we have for good. I say that, for I think you would probably agree with me that most people use their mind in the same way every day, the think the way they have always thought: they rehash the past and/or worry about the future, they overthink things and/or shut the mind off with unhealthy behaviors.
So, an invitation.....THINK!!
THINK about where you are in your life, in a relaxed, objective way....as if you are on the outside looking in, without criticism! THINK about how you feel about where you are and THINK about where you want to be, then THINK about what you need to be/do/have to get there.....and start THINKING about THAT until you arrive there.
Support it with your spiritual practice(s) and watch it become manifest!
It is a very attentive way to be, it allows us to stay in the present while moving forward (or deeper inward). It makes space for us to be who we want to be, who we are meant to be.
Now, I say THINK, but it is not just a mental way of being. Thinking in our language is not without feeling, thinking and feeling are one. Sometimes we don't move for we don't allow our feeling nature to catch up with our thinking nature, or our thinking nature with our feeling nature. For some people there is a big gap between thinking and feeling. They may THINK one thing, but FEEL a completely different thing as in "I think I want........(fill out the blank) but I feel unworthy"!
So, we must THINK about that and bring our thinking and feeling into harmony. That may take some practice. It is quite valuable for it allows us to be aligned enough so that harmony can flow.
And all this can be so gentle, so sweet, so sacred. There needs to be no pressure. It is really a way to love and accept oneself and THAT dissolves the ways we are hard on ourselves.
It is the year, at Religious Science Morristown/Center for Practical Spirituality, to LET FREEDOM REIGN!
Come and join us as we all live that intention and celebrate our inner and outer FREEDOM!
Just THINK what can happen if you participate!!
Blessings and Love ALWAYS, Reverend Frankie

Let go of the old, welcome the new.....

Many years ago I adopted and idea I had read about in a magazine. When you buy a new piece of clothing, you must get rid of an old piece! I started playing with that and it was very effective. Some of us can be such gatherers that it is hard to let go of anything. That was not totally my case, but I would have things in my closet that were just there year in year out, things I would not wear......and were hard to let go of. I began to use that sort of thing as a metaphor.........
Having grown in this area I am grateful that letting go has become easier and I feel much freer.
I have also learned that letting go FIRST creates space for something new to be welcomed. And it is more gentle, more grace filled, more effortless and has an element of the mystical. I think that is because then we are more willing to be open and to surrender to Spirit, then we are living in faith more. Since all is already given, we open ourselves to receive Spirit's Abundant Gifts.
So, this time of year, make yourself receptive.....allow for that already welcoming space in you to reveal your magnificence and listen for the deep wisdom already within you.
Let yourself be the glass surface of a lake welcoming everything...
Deep, rich blessings for the new year!

Holidaze?

As we step into the fullblow-ness of the Holidays, we are asked to deepen our spirtiual practices.
The other day I was at the mall to do a non-holiday errand and it was crazy.
It was really fun for me, for I wasn't shopping for the Holidays.
Finally after all these years I have given myself the gift of honoring myself, being true to myself and doing only what I can put my heart into totally.

This too is available for you!

If the Holidays are stressful ( or sad or lonely or.......) for you, take a deeper look and ask yourself 'WHAT IS MISSING FOR ME?'
Listen deeply and honor the answer(s)!
Let them be your guide this Holiday season!

Remember what you love at this time of year and cultivate it.
Bring your gifts to those around you and celebrate the Light!
The Light is the one common element among all the Holidays celebrated all over the world at this time.
YOU are the Light!
How do you share your Light?????
Blessed Love, rev. frankie
