New Class!!


THE EVOLUTION OF SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS
 

New Class!!


Beginning September 16
7:00pm
Facilitated by Rev. Dr. Rick Belous
Location: Wherever you are for Zoom meetings

Evolution is important in the world of biology. Many modern thinkers believe that evolution plays a central role in the direction and the path of spirituality.

When we can grasp how this process of spiritual evolution has worked in the past, we can start to get a handle on where new forms of spirituality may be headed. 

The class will be using Birthing A Greater Reality by Rev. Robert Brumet. Rev. Brumet has often been called the Yoda of the Unity movement. The book can be ordered through our bookstore or from Amazon. 


“Evolution in the past mostly has been unconscious evolution. Now we have the possibility of conscious spiritual evolution. This could have a far greater impact on humankind than many other types of suggested solutions,” Rev. Rick adds.

The class is open to all. Since it is via Zoom, you can participate either through your computer or your telephone. 


To join the class please either click on this link or send an email to hp4360@gmail.com and put “Spiritual Evolution Class” in the subject line.

New Class–Metaphysical Interpretation

COME TO THE NEW CLASS ON METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION  
The pioneers of the Unity movement did not take the Bible literally. Instead they developed powerful ways to interpret the Bible on a metaphysical level. Starting on Wednesday, July 15, at 8:00pm Eastern time, Rev. Dr. Rick Belous will be leading a new Zoom class on METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION.

“You do not have to be a minister to do very good metaphysical interpretations. Some of the best metaphysical interpretations I have seen were done by people who never took a class in theology,” Rev. Rick notes. The class will explore the key points of metaphysical interpretation, and then we will apply them to the Bible. However, the class will move beyond the Bible by exploring metaphysical interpretations of books, movies, TV shows, and even comic books. 

The class will be given via Zoom. “The great thing about Zoom, it that you will be able to be a part of this class either through your computer or by dialing in on a telephone,”  Rev. Rick explains. To be a part of this class, email Rev. Rick (Click here). Put “Metaphysical Interpretation” in the subject line, and include your name, phone number, and email address. You will be emailed back a Zoom invitation to be a part of the class.  All are welcome!

On Tuesday, March 17, we will begin a new book:  Jesus My Autobiography by Tina Louise Spalding.  The class meets at 1:00pm in the Gathering Room. There are several Jesus books on the market; so be sure to get the one by Tina Louise Spalding.

 
Jesus: My Autobiography by Tina Louise Spalding Tina Louise Spalding began channeling for Jesus in 2013.  It was a challenge to accept the assignment he offered her to write his autobiography, but also to face the fears this experience brought up.  

“I have come at this time, in this place, and through this being to speak my truth, to speak the story of my life – the true story of my life.”  Jesus
