Your Spiritual Life Center Is Within You by Wm. Exner, M.Div.


   The CSLC now has a track record of providing people of all spiritual persuasions with a broad array of resources to stretch and strengthen, soothe and inform our interior lives.  It was the philosopher Aristotle who sat a young teenager named Alexander down one day, looked him in the eye and said, “These lessons are… to make your world bigger, not this world bigger.”  That young teen grew up to become Alexander the Great.  Nurturing and nourishing your mind, spirit, and body expands awareness, insight and well being. The CSLC offers opportunities to make your life bigger.

   This year the CSLC is adding web links to its resource list, offering discussion sessions on current issues where spirit and culture intersect, and providing opportunities for stretching spiritual horizons through meditations, retreats, and Quiet Days.

   Most importantly it is vital that we view our very selves as spiritual life centers. You are intended to be a spiritual life center – a blessing in and of yourself and a blessing to the world around you.  Many spiritual guides and great religious teachers have said it in different ways while agreeing that the ‘Kingdom, the Light, the Christ, the Buddha, Higher Power, Great Spirit’ IS WITHIN YOU – IS AT HAND. Trust in your greatest gift, your spiritual life affirming center, and make use of the offerings of CSLC and the many other resources available to guide and strengthen you on your chosen path.

                May God continue to bless and guide you today and tomorrow. Enjoy the offerings of the Community Spiritual Life Center.
