- Don’t Confuse the Finger for the Moon Sun, November 17, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
The Buddha taught, “My teaching is like the finger pointing at the moon. Do not confuse the finger for the moon.” We teach, we study, we learn, we meditate, we pray. But what is it all for? Is what we do the moon, or the finger?
What Now? Sun, November 10, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
The election is over and the votes are in (hopefully). Now what? How do we move forward, together, when some are filled with joy and some with despair? Is it even possible? How is it possible? Let’s explore what’s next, as loving spiritually minded people living in divisive times.
The Transformative Power of Awe Sun, November 3, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Awe is a powerful experience, a spiritual on ramp. Dr. Dacher Keltner defines Awe as “the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your current understanding of the world.” In that, lies transformation, for our health, our relationships, and our experience of life.
Prosperity and Gratitude Sun, October 27, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Gratitude is a spiritual super-power. We close-out our Partners in Prosperity series by looking at the role of gratitude in both growing our prosperity consciousness and simply helping us live happier more fulfilling lives.
Nothing Is Pie Sun, October 20, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Our society constantly bombards us with messages of scarcity. But, all the important things in life, all the things that help us feel prosperous – none of them are scarce. It’s a spiritual law of the universe – nothing is pie!
Collective Prosperity Sun, October 13, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Ernest Holmes said we should wish for no private good when we pray, that what we desire for ourselves we should desire for all humans. We Are One; whatever prosperity means for each of us individually, therefore, is true prosperity only when it is available to all.
What is Proosperity Sun, October 6, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
What do you think of when you hear the word prosperity? There’s a good chance you’re thinking of financial freedom. While prosperity can mean that, the fuller meaning of prosperity is so much more than that. Let’s explore, together, what prosperity means in the larger scope of our lives.
Peace on Earth: Taking Inspired Action Sun, September 29, 2024, Rev. Marilyn Sprague
When it feels like everything is falling into pieces, Truth reveals there is a pathway of Peace amidst the chaos. Our individual presence matters and every action and intention to reveal Peace makes a difference. Today’s message is an exploration into “What is mine to do to reveal Peace on Earth?”.
Hanging in the Balance Sun, September 22, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller. PhD
There’s a point in every process where things are not what they were, but not yet what they are becoming, and how we manage this liminal state is key to what we will experience. On this Equinox weekend, Rev. Dr. Ruth will offer ideas from various cultures, psychology, and the metaphysical science of New Thought that can guide us through these times.
Source Matters Sun, September 15, 2024, Rev Jean Celia
Source matters. This can be considered on many levels. Is something a “fact”? What’s the source? Are you feeling anxious? What’s the source? Delving deeper and deeper, when we touch upon the True Source, the One Source, all becomes clearer, lighter and easier to heal.
Our lives can be knitted together like an elegant tapestry or knotted together in chaos. Likely, a combination of knitting and knotting. Let’s explore the process of unknotting, of moving closer to the One Source, which is Ultimate Unconditional Infinite Love. And expose more of the magnificent tapestry you are.
Know Your “No”, to Live Your “Yes” Sun, September 1, 2024, Rev Gayle Dillon
Life is always responding to our predominant thoughts and actions; Dr. Ernest Holmes says, “where the mind flows, energy goes”. We truly are responsible for living our best life.
For Every Time, a Spiritual Practice Sun, August 25, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Stuck in the past, with feelings of resentment and anger? Anxious about what you need to do today? Worried about the future? There’s a spiritual practice specifically for each of these “time.”
We Get To Do Stuff! Sun, August 18, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
I have to get this done. I should go visit so and so. I need to work. It’s easy to bemoan or even resent the “have to’s” and the “I should’s”, the things that feel like unwelcome obligations. But what if we changed our attitude to “I get to do stuff”? It just might change our experience of life and our relationships.
The Unexplained, Seen and Unseen Sun, August 11, 2024, Rev Barbara Wuest
If you can’t see it, does it exist? If you see something that can’t be explained, does it exist, or does your brain create a thought to make it exist? Let’s look at some fun stuff that happens and determine if we can really be God in human form!
Be Careful Who You Listen To Sun, August 4, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Many people like to tell us what we ought to do, and why. It can all seem like a lot of confusing disorienting noise, especially when it conflicts with what we know interiorly about who we are and what we are meant to be and do. How do we navigate the noise and find our path?
Lessons From Lakota Elders Sun, July 28, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
The Lakota People, as well as other Indigenous Peoples, celebrate Sun Dance during the hot summer months. It is a profoundly sacred time of prayer, community, and healing. In honor of Sun Dance, Rev. Bridget shares what she has learned from Lakota elders about prayer, generosity, respect, wisdom, and humor.
Non-Judgment: Because You Never Really Know Sun, July 21, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
It’s so easy, isn’t it? We all do it – judge others for actions we believe are wrong. Sometimes we simply cannot imagine any circumstance under which the action taken could ever be the right thing to do; it’s wrong, period, end of story. But, what if there really is more to the story?
Find the Joy Sun, July 7, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Joy simply IS, it’s a Universal Truth. It has tremendous benefits for our overall health. Yet, when facing adversity, or when simply caught up in the busyness of life, it can be difficult to find and experience Joy. But, it is there, and we can find it.
Freedom Leads to Possibilities Sun, June 30, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Freedom has many expressions, such as freedom from persecution, violence, and lack, and freedom to learn, thrive, and be one’s self. This week, we celebrate July 4th by exploring how freedom of different sorts has changed the lives of three young immigrants to the United States.
Writing a New Chapter with Devotion: Responsible Stewardship Sun, June 23, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Devotion guides our actions on behalf of something we love. An author is devoted to the characters, feeling responsible for letting each one express itself. In spiritual community, we write our current chapter by being devoted responsible stewards of the past we have inherited from our predecessors and the future we borrow from our children.
Writing a New Chapter with Love: The Power of Community Sun, June 16, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Community is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. Writing workshops provide community for authors, a place of mutual support and upliftment. Loving spiritual community supports each individual and, at the same time, creates a force that is greater than the sum of those individuals.
Writing a New Chapter with Faith: God’s Got This! Sun, June 9, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Life wants to express, all the time, everywhere. Great authors often say that the book comes through them, the characters and the story are already there, wanting to be expressed. Likewise, everything we need to write our next chapter for Portland CSL is already available. We access it with faith, faith that God’s Got This!
Living the Power in the Presence Sun, June 2, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller. PhD
There is a sacred knowing deep within us that always supports and guides us. When we learn, know, and understand this principle, then we can name, claim, and declare our good and the good of all in all our words and actions. Rev. Ruth Miller reminds us that Love, Peace, Beauty, Comfort, and Well-being for all is what we’re called to experience and express, and invites us to follow the call into it.
The Power of L.U.C.K. in Actualizing our Heart’s Desire Sun, May 26, 2024, Kathryn Richer PScP
As we prepare to welcome Rev. McCann as our new Senior Minister, we will recognize and celebrate our use of Living Under Cosmic Knowledge to actualize our individual and collective heart’s desire.
The Steps We Take Sun, May 19, 2024, Rev Barbara Wuest
The path of self discovery brings us closer to our own authentic expression, moving from Good to Great to Grand.
The Value Led Life Sun, May 12, 2024, Rev Cathi Condon
Nothing informs our activity in the world more than our values, the space where our inner world is reflected in our outer presence. Where are your values leading you?
Discovering Who and Where We Are Sun, May 5, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
We live in a time and place that encourages us to forget who we truly are. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller offers us some guidelines for remembering. Then, as we begin to have clarity around who we are and the spaces we want to live from, we can begin to create spaces and opportunities for others to do the same.
Gentle Cosmic-ness Sun, April 28, 2024, Dr. Kasey Wilson RScP
Let’s take this gentleness to a cosmic level, breathing in Truth, changing our perspectives, and celebrating Life!
The Other In Love Sun, April 21, 2024, Rev Barbara Wuest
We are reflections of each other. As we cultivate gentleness for ourselves, we begin to recognize Love expressing Itself as the others in our lives.
Taking It To The Streets Sun, April 14, 2024, Rev Cathi Condon
It doesn’t matter what the topic or situation is. This is ours to do. Let’s amp up our gentleness and respond “in kind.”
Breathing Gentleness Into Our Lives Sun, April 7, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
Embracing Our Sacred Newness Sun, March 31, 2024, Rev. Christine Green
We are the change we wish to see in the world. We are the Love we wish to see in the world. Together, grounded in divine power and promise, we transform the world.
You Are a Prayer Answered Sun, March 24, 2024, Rev Bridget McCann
Regardless of what you may have done, or how many times you go astray, you matter. Some of us know directly how we matter in the life of another person. Others of us may never know where or how or for whom we mattered. But, rest assured, you are the answer to someone’s prayer.
Tell me Something Good Sun, March 17, 2024, Rev John DePalma
What happens when we’re confronted by a situation where “figuring it out” just doesn’t work? Sometimes it’s only when all our problem-solving skills fall short that we remember there’s a deeper intelligence within us, offering us our perfect answer. “I don’t know how, but Spirit does!
That’s How We’ve Never Done It: Up Until Now… Mon, March 11, 2024, Rev Cathi Condon
It’s time to acknowledge our past (good, bad, and ugly) while disentangling ourselves from it. It’s time to forgive and release old patterns that no longer serve us. Let’s install and practice a new script: “UP UNTIL NOW…”
It’s a Brand New Day, with Unlimited Possibilities Sun, March 3, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
We wake up each morning to infinite possibility: unlimited, overflowing Good that waits only for our acceptance of it. Are we willing to embrace that potential? Dare we choose Heaven on Earth? Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller helps us understand the physics and metaphysics behind this Truth, so our brains can accept Reality and allow us to choose our new Now, our Heaven-on-Earth, every day.
Collectively Participate in the Grand Rising through Embracing Discomfort Sun, February 25, 2024, Kathryn Richer PScP
Being uncomfortable is the least of our concerns, because we have a lotta love work to do. Stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to participate in the Grand Rising. We wake up from unconscious beliefs and behaviors, and move towards conscious action that supports evolution individually and collectively.
It's A New Life Sun, February 18, 2024, Rev Barbara Wuest
Changing ourselves, our community, and therefore the world is not for the faint of heart. The challenges in front of us may sometimes seem or feel insurmountable. But with the power and Love and Spirit, expressing Itself as us, we can do anything!
Transformation begins …. with Love Sun, February 11, 2024, Rev Gayle Dillon
As we move through comfort to discomfort to growth, returning again to the journey at a higher awareness and greater willingness to live outside our comfort zone, we become more of who we truly are.
Patti Smith wrote, “We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves.” As we become more aware, every experience on our journey brings us closer to God, closer to our Selves.
February, the month we celebrate Love, reminds us that the ultimate comfort, peace, harmonious life is as Love. Allowing ourselves to hope / know that Love is the kernel of Light in every fear, every false belief, waiting patiently to be revealed, is the transformative healing process.
Join us to explore the transformation that begins, lives, and ends with Love, the Divine Light that is who we are.
Embracing the Power in Transformation Mon, February 5, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
As we, and all humanity, rise in consciousness to be more fully Who we truly Are, old things fall apart to make room for the new; shells break open; and comfortable habits no longer work. Join Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller as she explores the experience of this transformation process we have chosen to be part of – how we can transcend the apparent discomfort of the moment and surf the tidal wave of Love.
Feeliong Good Sun, January 28, 2024, Rev. Christine Green

The Grand Rising Sun, January 7, 2024, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
All humanity is being invited to live from an intention to co-create a world that works for everyone, led by the Spirit within and recognizing that the power of that intention creates a beautiful ripple of love across the planet.

It Only Takes a Spark Sun, December 17, 2023, Dr. Kasey Wilson RScP
Recognizing Wholeness; Seeing the Good in All Sun, December 10, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
There is a vision of love and wholeness deep within us all, an intuitive sense of our Oneness with God and with each other.
Embracing Our Wholeness Sun, December 3, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
Our desires are actually our yearning to experience the qualities of God in our lives. We inherently know that, deep within us, is pure wholeness, and we want to feel that. Indeed, all religions and all spiritual traditions have been established to provide that. And yet, we still yearn; we still struggle to find that experience. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller offers us some insights and actions that can help us embrace this truth of our being.
Paving Youir Way to Happiness Sun, November 26, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
Want more joy in your life? Develop a practice of daily gratitude regardless of life’s challenges and observe opportunities unfold.
Gratitude is a State of Grace Sun, November 19, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
When we live in gratitude, we lift our frequency and live in a infinite state of possibility.
Sacrerd Gift Sun, November 12, 2023, Rev Jean Celia
As many of us, I learned early in life about the “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. That it is ethereal and something to be looked up at in awe. Separate and unattainable.
When I discovered the Church of Religious Science (“yellow church on Foster”) in 1980, I began to realize that the Sacred Heart of Jesus also lives and beats in me! Rather than feel like I would go to Hell for such a thought, I knew that the inclusion, the One, the Unity that represents is Truth. Even though I couldn’t at that time articulate the joy and wonder that I felt.
Indeed, Albert Einstein is correct (no surprise there!) when he said, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
Life is a sacred gift. When we live from the Sacred Life, the ideals of Christ live through us. Unhindered. Flowing smoothly through our lives. What a glorious gift it is!
One Presence Always-In All Ways Sun, November 5, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
In this month’s exploration of the Sacred, Profane, and Mundane, we’re offered the opportunity to practice the living Presence of Spirit, everywhere. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller invites us to turn off our left-brain evaluations long enough to experience the One Mind in all things as we go through our day.
The Genius of the "AND" Sun, October 29, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
Builders of greatness liberate themselves with the “Genius of the ‘AND’ ― paraphrased from Jim Collins. This week we explore solutions, possibilities, and potentials that exist as we release ourselves from the bondage of the known and step into the unknown, where paradoxes play.
Breaking Free of the “OR” in the Appearance of War` Sun, October 22, 2023, Kathryn Richer PScP
Our world is full of paradoxes that are pushing us to the breaking point in many ways. We are at a tipping point that asks us to live in the “AND” – breaking free of the “OR”.
Shaking Up Our World View Sun, October 15, 2023, Rev Barbara Wuest
This journey of paradox calls us to curiosity and a willingness to stay in the question rather than know the answer. This uncertainty leads to vulnerability, which can be challenging. Luckily, there are tools we can use along the way to remember that playfulness is the key even in the midst of challenges.
Rock and Rolling Through Life Sun, October 8, 2023, Kathryn Richer PScP
Ever experienced your life really being on a roll and…BAM…you run into a rock? Inspired by music, we’ll get to the heart of how to roll once again by becoming Rock Steady.
What If it is Coming Together by Appearing to Fall Apart? Sun, October 1, 2023, Rev. Barbara Leger
In a rapidly changing and often very polarized world, where we put our attention is of the essence. Join us to explore the paradox of life as it calls us forward to bring forth something new this year to teach us the importance of putting our attention where we want our life to be.
“There is much, much more going on than we ordinarily think.”
-Rosamund and Benjamin Zander from their book
‘The Art of Possibility’
“I live in a responsive, creative system called LIFE, therefore I put my attention where I want my life to be. “

Paths of Passion Sun, August 6, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
Once we discover what we have faith in, we can begin to see our path of fulfillment, called in Sanskrit, our Dharma. It may not seem clear at first, but there are clues we can follow. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller shares some of those clues and invites us to take a few steps as we seek to discover the True Path that is unique to each of us.

To Be or Not To Be Sun, July 23, 2023, Rev Evin Wilkins
Was Shakespeare the only person allowed to ask such a question? What if you were to dare to ask such a question of yourself, within your own life? To be or not to be?
The Healing Stream Sun, July 16, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
All the attributes of the Infinite are in focus as you, flowing forth through you. You are this flow at the point where you are.
Living Life From Within Out Sun, July 9, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
The whole universe is concentrated at the point where you are. More than this, you are the universe expressing as you.
The Word of Truth as Command Sun, July 2, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
“Faith is the Confidence to Command” says Emma Curtis Hopkins, teacher of Ernest Holmes and a hundred other New Thought leaders. “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed you would command…” is one of the teachings of the New Testament. And what is speaking Truth in the face of undesirable circumstances, but commanding that Truth to appear as our experience? Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller helps us see and know how the power of the One Mind spoken through us as Truth can dispel any semblance of distress.
Personalizing the Infinite Sun, June 25, 2023, Rev. Christine Green
Isn’t it wonderful to be open to all the things you desire? Here is a preview to understand how you can become so much more than that of which you have previously only dreamed.
We are Pushed by Pain Until We Are Pulled by Vision Sun, June 18, 2023, Rev Gayle Dillon
Have you ever wondered why we wait for the proverbial 2×4 before we take action? What would life look like if we really BELIEVED we are worthy of God’s good. I believe we are designed by God for greatness. So why the heck do I continue to limit the unlimited?
Let’s get real and find out cat’s really stopping us from being pulled by your visions.
I’m not fond of pain, you?
Balancing Grief and Joy Sun, June 11, 2023, Rev. Christine Green

Yoiur Most Important Relationship Sun, June 4, 2023, Rev. Catherine Bonin
Self-care is an integral part of our human experience. Our evolution depends on our commitment to self-care.
Lights, Camera,Action! Sun, May 28, 2023, Rev Christine Green
We live life’s performance on the center stage. We get to decide if we live fully out loud or hide our light. We are each blessed with a bright light, so why not radiate our special brilliance at its fullest?
Shadow and Light Dancing Together Sun, May 21, 2023, Rev Linda Preppond
Have you ever noticed that you could see the stars most clearly in a very dark sky? When we experience the shadows – times of hardship, grief, challenge – it sometimes seems that the Light has vanished. And yet, it is almost always at this time that huge breakthroughs occur and the Light shines more brightly than ever. Our lives are a dance through times of shadow and of Light. Let’s make it a waltz!
Opening to the Light Sun, May 14, 2023, Rev Christine Green
Humans have a tendency to fear the unknown and that which we don’t understand. However, darkness is the fertile space of creation, creativity, and the womb. The darkness gives birth to the light.
Discovering What You Really Believe Mon, May 8, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
Most of us were raised to believe in a particular person or idea. We were taught to say, “I believe in Jesus,” or “I believe in Science,” or “I believe there is no god,” or whatever our family, teachers, and elders told us was true. But our lives haven’t always demonstrated what we were taught to say. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller draws on the Science of Mind teachers to explore why that is so and how we can discover what our real beliefs are–and how to change them.
Power and Possibility Sun, April 30, 2023, Rev Maur Horton
Authentic vulnerability becomes the gateway to power and possibility. It calls us to be who we are and creates the space for others to do the same as we all move through the exciting adventure of transformation. That’s when we intentionally step into the power and possibility that being authentic and open brings.
Honor the Mystery, Embrace the Change Sun, April 23, 2023, Rev Christine Green
Portland Center for Spiritual Living is in a powerful and exciting time as a new Senior Minister is being welcomed into the life and love of this Center.

Most Treasured Gift (Easter) Sun, April 9, 2023, Rev Christine Green
Possessions are wonderful and a blessing. But our greatest gift is the awareness of our eternal Oneness and infinite possibility.
Becoming Peace by Releasing What Was Sun, April 2, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller. PhD
As we mature, we become aware of more and more layers and dimensions of who we are. And, if we’re paying attention, an amazing thing happens: we begin to understand the patterns and the people who have shaped our lives in the past. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will share a process for releasing these patterns and the energy around those people–and how the world becomes more peaceful as we go through it.
Sepping Into "Enoughness" Sun, March 26, 2023, Kasey Wilson
Approval is a form of judgement. Embracing “enoughness,” or knowing that we are whole, perfect and complete, is an unfolding journey that we are each walking, at our own pace. Releasing the need for approval as we travel this road, is the process of shedding the habit of shame and self-shame/judgement. Cultivating authenticity means having the courage to release shame as we seek to “Live Out Loud.”
Boundaries Build Bridges Sun, March 19, 2023, Rev Christine Green
While physical boundaries can act as walls, when we communicate our boundaries, instead of a wall, we are creating a clear path for others to connect with us. Boundaries build bridges.
Dropping the Masks and Bushels Sun, March 12, 2023, Rev Christine Green
We wear masks in celebration, for fun, and to be safe. Masks that we wear for our hearts may keep us safe until they don’t. Vulnerability empowers us to drop the mask and let our light shine.
Season of Peace & Nonviolence (CSL= Cultivating Authenticity: Dropping the Masks and Bushels)
Discovering Self, Within and Around Us Sun, March 5, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller. PhD
As we mature, we become aware of more and more layers and dimensions of who we are, and who the people around us have been. We begin to, truly, know ourselves. And, if we’re paying attention, an amazing thing happens: we begin to understand, and find a new respect for, the people who have shaped our lives in the past, and are contributing to them now. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will share some stories and some of the science that help us understand this process–and how the world benefits as we go through it.
Living Curiosty Out Loud Sun, February 26, 2023, Rev Christine Green
The World is an Oyster Sun, February 19, 2023, Rev Barbara Wuest
If an oyster did not choose to address the grain of sand that caused such discomfort, we would never experience the beauty of the pearl.
Inquiring Minds Want to Flow Sun, February 12, 2023, Rev Christine Green
There is a Divine calling deep within us that is waiting to be discovered and expressed in the way that only we can express it and when it comes forward it brings with it many gifts. One of the greatest is the feeling of being in the Flow.
What Lies Beneath the Surface Sun, February 5, 2023, Rev Bonnie Anderson
If we knew it all or could see it all, there would be no need for a curious, imaginative mind. Let’s appreciate the unknown, for without it life would be dull.
Celebrating Life as Source Sun, January 29, 2023, Rev Barbara Wuest
It’s time to surrender to the Bigger Idea of Life. It’s time for us to move from struggle into celebration. Today we live in the flow, and the joy of simply being alive surrounds us.
Singing With Gratitude Sun, January 22, 2023, Dr. Kasey Wilson RScP
We all appreciate and choose different kinds of music. In the same way that we tune in to different stations on the radio, we can choose different frequencies for our lives. One of the most powerful ways to change to a channel to be in tune with Source, is by singing the song of gratitude. What does the soundtrack to your life sound like? The beginning of the year is a great time to listen and check in and adjust the melody, turn it down or crank it up!
The Internal Song Sun, January 15, 2023, Rev Maur Horton
The internal dialogue of the ego can appear to drown out the Internal, Universal song. Learn to listen closely and create a new harmony for your life.
One Spirit: One UniversaalBeingness-In, Around and Through All od Us Sun, January 8, 2023, Rev Ruth Miller PhD
Sometimes it feels like we’re all alone in this world, separated from the people and things around us, and all too often, from our Source. Yet, in our heart of hearts, we know that we are part of something greater – and that something greater is within us, too. Both science and spirituality teach us that no matter how isolated we feel, we are always affecting everyone, everywhere.
The Golden Bowl: Intentions for 2023 Sun, January 1, 2023, Sylvia Kearns RScP
