"A New Day Dawning"
What beautiful gifts we have had walking our Holy Week adventures this past week. All have been leading up to this coming Easter morn – Our resurrection into claiming and knowing that we are the resurrected Christ!
We are the infinite Goodness of God expressing in our world this day and every day. We come together this Easter to celebrate those resurrections and also to celebrate our divine power of Power within each of us – one of our twelve powers. This power is a wonderful tool to keep focusing on and using as we continue to keep this wonderful Easter energy alive in our being through the coming year.
We look forward to being with you to celebrate this new Easter Life together. What a joyous walk it is! ~ Rev. Jesse
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

"HEART THOUGHTS"
❤with Rev. Jesse❤
|
Dear Friends in Unity:
Thank you, Rev. Steve, for the best Palm Sunday message that I have ever listened to.
I loved Rev. Steve’s question of “What would Jesus say if he could sit down and talk with us from his perspective of what Easter really means”? Here are some of the thoughts that I heard from his message and so much more: Jesus wants us this Easter to really understand what Easter means from His perspective:
1. It’s a celebration of release from all the old messages that we may still carry that are anything less than, “teach only Love for that is what you are”.
2. Easter is a sign of peace not pain, and a time to celebrate a new life.
3. Bring the crown of thorns to the alter with unconditional forgiveness along with the white lilies symbolizing innocence. They both need to be brought to the alter and celebrated. The crown of thorns celebrated and then thrown away. Metaphysically they keep us from seeing others as they truly are.
4. The Holy Spirit is so glad when we can learn from the True Easter teachings.
5. The mystical message of the crucifixion is release from all fear and then to "teach only Love for that is what you are." The crucifixion was a wholly benign extreme example of this teaching.
6. No perception other than these are in accord with Jesus’ teachings.
|
|
As we walk our Holy Week experience into our resurrection, we might ask ourselves:
1. Who am I still seeing wearing a crown of thorns? Isn’t it about time to release this old perception of pain and fear and hurt?
2. What great gift is waiting for me this week for the unfoldment of my consciousness in teaching only love?
I look forward to meeting with you Easter evening at 5:00 p.m. to hear about your Love Rising experiences. Peace – Shanti - Peace as we walk our Holy Week walks separately and held in Oneness.
Easter Hugs,
Rev. Jesse
p.s.
This will be my last formal “Heart Thoughts” with you all as I begin to step away from formal Unity ministry into semi-retirement. Please know how much I love you all and will relish still meeting with you on a more informal basis!

New ZOOM Class with Rev. Jim Rosemergy
“If You Only Knew, Exploring The Deep Mysteries of Spirituality”
Saturdays at 1 p.m.
April 10 - May 15, 2021
Our time together is drawing near. On April 10th, we will gather together for our first class of “If You Only Knew, Exploring The Deep Mysteries Of Spirituality.” This one-hour Zoom class is a class like none I have ever shared before, filled with insights into the spiritual journey I have never taught or written about.
There is no required fee for the class. I like to let principle work, so it is available to you on a love-offering basis.
It will be an experience in which you will know that confusion is the mother of wisdom, that doubt is the precursor of faith, that darkness is often a better description of God than light, and that mystery is the most accurate name for God.
If you would like to be added to the class, please send your email address to:
jimrosemergy@gmail.com
Get ready, my soul. I can hardly wait!
In Joyous Service,
Jim

Holy Week
This week I follow the final steps
of Jesus in this world,
Toward crossing out the old
and the false
Fulfilling the call to Divine unity
in Christ.
I do not suffer the pain, the death
on the cross,
Only that of remembering, releasing,
crossing out.
Answering the call, I rise above the human
in Christ.
~ written by Rev. Claudia Naylor

Unity's Five Basic Principles
We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation.
The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
- There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
- Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
- We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind.
- Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
- Through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.

Wise Old Sayings
When we genuinely believe that inner
transformation is God's work and not ours, we
can put to rest our passion to set others
straight.
