January Theme: Living Everyday Wonder
“If you want to be somebody. If you want to go somewhere. You better wake up and pay attention!” There is a whole lot of wonder going on around us. It is Life, and when we are curious, we make direct contact with It.
Spiritual living doesn’t just happen on the meditation cushion or on Sunday mornings. Spiritual living is a way of life that happens every moment of every day. It is applying spiritual tools and principles to every area of our lives on a regular and consistent basis – a daily basis. When we do so, life flows easier, choices are clearer, and seeming miracles are everyday occurrences. There is wonder in every day just waiting for us to live it!

January 2 : “Living Everyday Wonder and Burning Bowl Ritual” Rev. Steven Van Meter
“We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life.” – John Cage It is in our daily life that we encounter the Divine. The Wonder of Spirit is everywhere. We can’t escape it because we are inseparable from it. It is our truest essence. When we become conscious of It and live in our awareness of It, our daily experiences become opportunities for transformation and for our individual and collective evolution. January 9: “Wonder, Wonder Everywhere!” Rev. Steven Van Meter
Do you walk around daily with your mouth wide open in absolute awe at the infinite number of wonders around you? No? It’s not too late to start. Beauty is everywhere, and well… wonders never cease. Wonder is everywhere present just waiting for us to awaken to It. It is in the car we drive, the home we live in, the neighbor’s dog, the traffic light, and the people we meet. We encounter wonders every minute of every day. We live in a Wonderland that invites us to marvel at and experience Its magnificence and Its Love. January 16: “Embrace the Now” Rev. Steven Van Meter
Does life seem to be passing you by? What if there was a way to get back in the flow and experience more joy and wonder on a daily basis? There is! Start today by embracing the Now! Awareness and appreciation of wonder can only happen in the Now. In fact, everything happens in the Now for there is no other moment. Author Mary O’Malley defines curiosity as the art of bringing our attention and our immediate experience together. In being curious in this way, by being present in wonder, we are transformed by coming into alignment with Life. January 23: “Question Everything” Rev. Steven Van Meter
What questions are you asking? Why are you asking them? Of whom are you asking them? Are you asking enough questions? Questions hold possibilities, so why not question everything? What’s in a question? The answer is found within the question itself. Curiosity. Clarity. Knowledge. Desires. Wants. Needs. Information. Suggestions. Questions open us to possibilities. And sacred inquiry? Well, that is a life-changer. January 30: “Prove It!” Rev. Steven Van Meter
How does one get to Carnegie Hall? By practicing. How does one demonstrate a principle? By proving it. How does one live spiritually? By practicing and proving it. Our organization is called Centers for Spiritual Living, not Centers for Spiritual Navel-gazing. Living requires active participation, application, and practice. Life is an experience that must be experienced! Here at CSL, we practice Religious Science. Science asks that we prove principles. So, let’s prove it, shall we?! |
