Mother Heals

GOAL

The goal of the community is to assist Friends to bloom like a rose, remembering the truth of who they are, healing into the oneness, and living the life of natural awareness of union with Mother Father God in knowing, experiencing, and expressing the divine as spiritually creative partners in co-creators of divine intent and desire.

OUR MISSION

Teaching of teachers focused on soul education and raising in light consciousness to empower Friends who work to integrate divine, spiritual, and intellectual powers and attributes of spiritual leadership in all aspects of life in a re-awakened illumined state of mind, living in divine potential, essence to essence and heart to heart, being love creating, to ensure continued spiritual evolution, and become knowing partners in the creative process and purpose of creating a new life and a new world in luminous energy.

HOW THE WORK IS DONE

All activities and services of the community will be based on the basic philosophy and guiding principles of the community that serve to re-awaken within the faculties for the flow of spiritual power, making accessible the ancient wisdom and tools in order to illuminate the minds and hearts of Friends.

The programs assist in empowering spiritual growth and enlightenment through the exploration and investigation of internal states of consciousness to unfold our natural higher creativity that becomes accessible as our intuition opens into inspiration, illumination, on into continuity of consciousness, providing experience and knowledge of ancient wisdom, healing arts, and the fine arts through seminars, classes, training programs, sacred retreats, on going internet training, garden creation and maintenance as well as other active daily living practices. Engaging in creative arts activities and class exercises as part of the healing process will provide direct experiences of the states of consciousness.

The work will be done in a permanent, sacred, non-profit, coeducational adult spiritual community of sincere seekers and Friends. The over all design is based on the development of a mother house sacred community of education and creative arts that will provide an opportunity to heal, to learn, to create, to celebrate, and to serve using inspirational creativity leading to manifesting our own divinity. Friends attending the community programs will be provided an opportunity come together as Friends to grow in spiritual awareness and enjoy companionship.

Educational components of the program will be presented as classroom training programs, retreats, hands on gardening, conferences, seminars, long term intensive training, and on going internet classes. Educational services will include spiritual oneness classes, healing intensive training sessions, spiritual creative development classes and studio time, long term study and residence opportunities, hands on garden creation and maintenance opportunities, individual counseling as needed, all designed to restore us to original purity and integrity inherent within our own souls.

PHILOSOPHIC PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES OF THE COMMUNITY

We are each creator beings. Every person naturally carries enormous internal wisdom and resources. We are capable of living and work in higher creative energies of wisdom, love, and the power of the love - the spiritual creative energy of Mother Father God. This is the reason we incarnated – the reason we are here.

We can chose to develop our intuition into inspiration, our inspiration into illumination, and our consciousness to a continuity of oneness, a continuity of consciousness with the divine. We can become co-creators with Mother Father God. We can touch into and live in the very heart of God, meeting God face to face. We can re-awaken, and remember. Direct knowledge, wisdom, and love can flow to and through us.

The divine spark, the conscious awakened soul, emerges in this hieros gamos, Christic marriage of soul fusion, uniting the male and female aspects of our lower selves. As our divine spark opens, and we move along the path of enlightenment to our full potential of service to humanity in Divine Will, we can chose to walk in both worlds, keeping one foot balanced in each, bridging the worlds as servants of the hierarchy of love.

We can accept our divinity. We accept the passion of our service. Our destinies can be fulfilled. Absolute knowing brings in what is created in the higher realms into reality on this plane from the desires of the heart. We can increase our ability to express the power, wisdom, and beauty of spirit from the fountain of creation. We can gain the courage to create, to respond, to become luminous energy creating a new life and a new world of luminosity. We can return to being illuminated.
