God’s highest vision:
More than it appears to be!
Safe haven, home base, nurturing loving
It’s looking up!
Higher Thought, Mountains, Transcendence
Open fields of green grace, with blue sky above – JOY!
Provide a safe place where people can grow and soar in the things of the Spirit.
Provide an oasis in which people can thrive and be encouraged to live the best life possible

Light spreading to all infinity.
Safety, knowing, claiming our skills, especially seeing Christ Conciousness in one another.

Big yellow sun, small yellow suns, purple and green suns
Looks like

Serpentine
The love of God, the Joy of God, the Peace of God flowing through us to each other and the world.
A mission of heaven on earth.
Spacious
Looks smells and tastes like coffee and brownies
Meetings, parties and focused conversations
Enlightenment to ourselves and others
Home away from home, at home!
Travelling without going a distance
Going to a different world
A vacation, comfortable, stepping out of life into a special place
White linen and a place for your elbows
Coffee stains
We’ll leave the light on for you
Our lights are always on.
Purple

Sounds like:
Voices raised in song
Laughter, giggles, cosmic belly laughs
Music notes in harmony
A harmonious tune of many instruments
Playground, Amusement Park, Fun, Freedom, Wheeeeeee!
Merriment
Soft ringing sounds, like ringing in my ears
The sound of rain drops, chattering, excitement, flowing, pouring
Feels like:
Being hugged
Energizing, hopeful, good, challenging, to stretch out further - in a good way!

Exciting and affirming
A comfy, soft armchair
Comfortable
Ease and peace
Tingly, bubbly, grinning and grateful

I need to know:
That all is Good and all is love
All is God, all is love, life is fun. Kate knows it ALL!
All things are God; no matter how it looks
All is very, very, very well, in fact, downright Terrific!
More of who I am

How much more there is to know, to explore
The foundation of how it works
It’s an everyday process, just learn it and live it!
That I am that I am in the wholeness of my being
I need to realize:
It’s all God!
The Oneness of Spirit and that all things, conditions and situation work for the entire goodness of life
The richness of my life and present experience right here
How fortunate I am
It is each ones contribution of self that makes the rich spiritual community we love
The divine love already birthed and ever growing in our spiritual community
Relax and listen

My Self and my Service
I need to release:
Fear and doubt
Any fears or trepidations along the way, and move on
Fear, doubt, the sense I am not enough
The thought that I am separate and apart from God
The temptation to feel comfortable in laziness
The temptation to feel comfortable in ordinariness
Fear, choose to Go with God
Inhibitions and fear of flamboyance
Nothing
I embrace:
Love, my power, my magnificence
The love that comes from the group
Joy of Choosing to be great
Joy of choosing to demonstrate the principles
“The wonder of it all”
That I and others are here to make a world impact by living our highest life. We will impact all creation in all universes with the growth of our consciousnesss. Therefore, to live the mission, be willing to grow to my highest consciousnessThe joy of the eternal givingness of God.
