Today’s world is faced with significant challenging issue, including shifting climate, the quality of the planet’s water, world hunger, a seemingly out of control economy, deforestation, and terrorism to mention a few. I recently searched the web for the phrase, “top ten urgent world issues” to discover more than one compelling list of urgent calls to action. After reading a few pages of powerfully stated articles I sank back in my chair like so many people do when overwhelmed with... Read more
While Dr. Kenn Gordon is in Ukraine, celebrating the 6th Annual Ukraine Science of Mind Conference, there will be several guest bloggers in his place. Parenting with the Power of I AM by Juli Isola Early in my parenting role, I had the opportunity to take Science of Mind classes at the Center. In class, Dr. Heather made the power of I AM abundantly clear, explaining that when we refer to the I AM we are talking about our Self,... Read more
Love is such a big word. It covers a gamut of definitions and means something different to most everyone. Used in a Divine context it reflects a way of being that is intended to mirror an attribute of the Divine Power Itself. Perhaps mirror is not as articulate as I would choose, I actually think it uncovers the character of the Universe that has always resided and always will reside just below the surface of our psyches. Love is our... Read more
Getting to the right question took a while. It was a grand process. For some one who is insatiably curious and loves to dive headlong into any subject that stirs my interest (rarely do I find something that doesn’t), the whole idea of “free will” sent me on a merry chase. The debate about whether “free will” exists and if it does, how can it be defined and/or determined has been around for centuries. It has been argued philosophically and... Read more
GOD’S HEALING LOVE LIFTS ME By Nirvana Reginald Gayle In the midst of the Trayvon Martin murder brought back to our fresh awareness by the acquittal of his murderer, George Zimmerman, and even our President saying, “this could be me,” all of my old ghosts, hurts and pains were raised to the surface. In the midst of my own anger, hurt and downloading the great anger and frustration of the masses, particularly Black Folk, and the great divide this was... Read more
RACISM IN AMERICA Nirvana Reginald Gayle The recent verdict in the George Zimmerman trial again shows up the great schism in matters of race in America. The outrage at this acquittal, particularly in the African-American community but other communities as well, once again raises the concern around the issue of racism in America. Racism is one of the last great taboos we face as a nation. We like to bury our head in the sand and pretend that it doesn’t... Read more
It is the desire and mandate of our organization to grow and develop inclusiveness and communication while always acting from the principles we espouse. Having an inclusive organization, attitude, or intention essentially means we are conscious that there is space for everyone. Communication means everyone has a voice, everyone is heard, and through, openness and transparency are the normal practice. Being in principle indicates that we operate from an intention of love, unity, self-direction, and self-responsibility in every thought, word,... Read more
One of the first valuable lessons I learned in my study of metaphysics was the practice of reframing situations and information into friendlier contexts. As a result of applying this simple technique I discovered that the world is more pleasant than what my thoughts might be about it. It appears that my mind can add unverified and sometimes unnecessary information to almost any situation, and sometimes, the meaning my mind comes up with is cultural and learned, and oftentimes inaccurate....

Science of Mind begins with the premise that it is done unto us as we believe. In the past, when I believed it was done unto me according to the vagaries of society, my family of birth, my educational status, or how much money I had, etc., I found experiencing joy and abundance entailed struggle and toil. Without an understanding that my experience depended on growing my belief, I spent inordinate amounts of time attempting to change the effect of... Read more
Father’s Day…. Standing at the hundreds of cards in the store, I would read one after another and put it back, because I couldn’t find one I could relate to. I didn’t have a great childhood. I didn’t know how to participate in the holiday until I decided to honor the Father of us all – God. For a long time, I cringed when someone called The Divine “God” or “Father” and I knew this was because of my history.... Read more
