President’s Message

Dear Extraordinary Sisters and Brothers of Love & Light,

My Creed

I believe in God, Infinite Intelligence, Creative Mind, without beginning, without end, in whom I move and have my being.  I know that I am eternal, always having existed in some form of manifestation with Spirit; therefore, I am ageless.  I am living in the ever-present Eternal Now and realize that birth and death are only incidents in the ever-lastingness of eternity.  The Law of Infinite Intelligence is change, with constant progression, no matter how incremental; consequently, so-called death is but a change to another expression in the Eternal Now.

I know there can be no separateness in the Kingdom of the Creative Mind and, therefore, across the border line between the two spheres of manifestation in eternal life, beings incarnate and discarnate can and do exchange intelligent thought.  I know that all is life, abundant life; there is no death.

I know that every day is a wonderful gift to me; the only question is: How shall I use it?  For one thing, I shall smile and turn a cheerful face to all the world, hoping thereby to give encouragement and help to all with whom I come in contact.

I know that in order to progress on my path, I must make Perseverance my guide, Experience my counselor, Caution my brother, and Hope my guardian angel.

I know that through the utilization of the spiritual forces properly understood and directed, I can be well, I can be happy, I can be successful.

As Light is given to me, I shall give to others.
 
Love,
Joseph Shiel
