Today is our first community meeting, as we begin to reveal our next step for CSL Kaua’i. I feel like we are going back to the beginning, in that right now, it is just an idea, a concept ready to be birthed.

But, then everything comes from ideas. I remember when we left from Los Angeles to come here to start CSL Kaua’i. People would ask, “Where is your Center?” We would say (as we pointed to our heart and mind) “Right here.” They looked at us strangely, and I can only imagine what they were thinking. I did hear later that some thought we were crazy and didn’t know what we were doing.

But, we did and we did accomplish what we set out to do. It took strong vision, belief and Principle. This Center is built on Principle. It is all we have to rely on. CSL Kaua’i is a Divine idea in the Mind of God whose time has come. It has a movement of its own and something great to accomplish. For me, that is to give as many as I can their minds back. When I say this I mean to “take them by the hand and lead them back to themselves.” Our new Vision was written on the temple walls: “KNOW THYSELF!”

I feel such a strong urge to accomplish this. I know I cannot force people, nor would I want to. We are all individuals. walking at our own pace. Taking responsibility for one’s life experience is a really big step in our evolution.

I am excited about this teaching and philosophy and what it has done for my life and I want to share it, not by proselytizing, but by being the best example I can be. I also realize, as Walter Starcke wrote in his book It’s All God,  “…unless one’s consciousness has evolved to the point where it is ready to experience one’s divine nature, there is nothing anyone can do by human effort to make it happen.”

I’m okay with this and I’m responsible only for my own consciousness. That is why it is so important to me to be an example. I know that CSL Kaua’i is an example and continues to be one as it spiritually evolves.

I trust right now that whomever is onboard is onboard. I know that as it continues to open its doors, forever from within to without, that each person will find their place and receive and give their gifts. We are definitely in this together.

I am very excited at what transpires at this meeting today. I also know that nothing can deter me from my own path. CSL Kaua’i is my vehicle of expression as a Divine being right now. “One alone in consciousness with the Infinite constitutes a complete majority.” However, my Divine Evolution will always find its way. Because of this, I know that my consciousness and Patrick’s consciousness will attract just what is required for its continued spiritual evolution. Yes, we are in this together: Spirit and I – Spirit and you!
