Who have we come here to be?

I sat back in awe this weekend as Spirit spoke in a mighty way through our collective consciousness. As a community, we spent time asking Spirit to reveal who we are to be and what is ours to do. Friday evening, powerful words like global transformation and service reverberated around the room. The hairs on my arms were standing straight up. Saturday, after much prayer, discussion and discernment, a smaller group representing the collective consciousness heard the following as our vision, "We celebrate a world expressing oneness with God-a world of peace, unity and abundance." Then we found our purpose, which is- "We are a loving spiritual community empowering active leaders in stewardship to an awakening world." The more I sit with those statements, the more excited I become. I see how we are maturing as a spiritual community moving beyond what we can get to what we can give. Even deeper than that, the word stewardship means that we feel a sense of responsibility for doing all we can to create a world of peace, unity and abundance for all. We see how God entrusted the world and one another to us and it is up to us to create the kind of world in the words of our Association, "works for everyone."
