Mystic Heart Spiritual Center is |
Mystic Heart is a welcoming and accepting Spiritual Community that supports, promotes, and celebrates your growth in body, mind, and spirit. We are an Independent Interfaith Community, where people of all ages, races, creeds, ethnicities, sexualities, and abilities come together, not as groups separated by their differences, but as human beings celebrated for their individuality. We welcome all faith paths, philosophical points of view, and ways of life that acknowledge and honor the Divine, and support and uplift the growth and evolution of the planet and its beings. We see Evolution and Creation as two aspects of one process that is forever moving life forward, and we understand that each of us is an integral part of that process, leaving our direct imprint on the evolution of humanity.
March Message from the Rev…
Spring… the time of year when new life is springing forth from the earth in every direction. If we are open, practicing the Buddhist concept of Beginner’s Mind, we may observe the changes in Nature and allow them to point us inward. The ancient teaching, “As without, so within” reminds us that we, too, can bring a sense of renewal into our lives. In every moment, we have the chance to begin again…to choose a new direction…to become a new and more powerful version of ourselves.
The theme at Mystic Heart for 2025 is Through the Lens of Story, and during the month of March we will look more closely at The Way of Love as one possible Way to write the story of humanity. It is the Way lived and taught by the world’s Spiritual Masters throughout the ages, and I believe it is the only Way forward now.
In times such as we are experiencing, it is more important than ever to stay grounded in Love. The kind of Love I am talking about is not an emotional or romantic Love, although this kind of Love when practiced with pure intention and dedication is a beautiful thing. But I am talking about Love as Self-Givingness…Love as an active state of being and doing.
As we move into and through this month, we’ll be exploring a number of questions: What is the Way of Love? How do I find the energy to keep on loving when the world seems to be going the other way? Can Love really change the world? And can my love really have an impact? I’ve been told to love my neighbor, but who is my neighbor? Won’t loving everybody make me a doormat? And how can love overcome what divides us and move us forward together?
