A universal assembly for true discernment
In this member meeting, Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert, our Vice-President Minister, shared information about:
Topic: “Service and Surrender of self-Will”
Description: Rev. Jay McCormick talked about how confusion comes when there is not yet a clear and complete surrender of the false will. Joy comes from the choice to serve, because the choice to serve is the choice to relinquish conflict. Since there is only one Will in reality, and Will is of love, to be aligned with Reality and God, we must surrender our imaginary will fully. We either choose conflict or love.
Reading: Sonja Spahn read from NTI John, Chapter 13
“I don’t know who I am”
is a helpful response
to any thought
that tries to define who you are.
Definitions are closed and limiting.
“I don’t know” opens
to potential and discovery.
“I don’t know who I am”
is a statement
that facilitates Self-discovery,
because it is a statement
that dissolves the idea
that definitions are fact.

Expansion is the realization of truth
over illusion.
It is the putting aside of limits,
which never existed.
It is seeing beyond false identity
into the unknown
and ungraspable,
which is you.
You are not
to be controlled
or limited,
not even by you.
You are to be discovered,
and discovery happens
through allowing the mystery.
~From our Holy Spirit
Within you
there is a place
where I am
and you are
and there is no difference between us.
This is a state of oneness,
where the two are joined,
and they are the same one.
There is no loss
in this state of awareness.
There is only more.
This is why I have asked you
to inquire deep and broad.
Within depth, there is expansion.
~From our Holy Spirit
Rest the mind frequently today,
as often as you remember,
and notice as you take a moment
to do nothing
and to think nothing
that you exist.
Just notice this.
Notice that nothing needs to be done
for this one magnificent fact to be true.
Nothing needs to be thought
to realize this truth.
The fact of existence already is.
It is now.
It is true.
It is complete.
And take a moment
to thank your Father
for the gift of existence.
~From our Holy Spirit
