INSIGHTS FROM BOB & CARLA
A person who experiences the sense of being one with all things (and with God) is called
a mystic. This is in alignment with the concept that we are spiritual beings
having a human experience.
This sense of oneness frees an individual to see clearly and act boldly.
We are all connected through the Divine Mind that guides us to our
highest good. It has been said that when a butterfly flaps its
wings, it affects wind currents halfway around the world. Listen
to that still, small, loving voice within you and follow Divine
Guidance.
Live Fully, Love Lavishly, and Be All You Can Be:

Guest Speakers and
Events in October
This Sunday
Author, David Arnett, Guest
Speaker
His talk title is "The Messages of
Messengers." David Arnett is the
author of Messengers. It is his first
novel and the first novel to be published
by Unity Press. Mr. Arnett spent more
than 30 years in the US Foreign Service.
His last assignment was as head of the
American Consulate General in Istanbul,
Turkey. It promises to be an interesting
Sunday Lesson.
Messengers asks the question: “What
if you received a second chance at life
after a near-fatal accident? What if the
reason for your survival was facilitated
by a guardian angel whose very
presence—or lack thereof—set you on
an unknown and life-altering journey.
Messengers is part spiritual mystery,
part psychological thriller, part love
story and part sacred scripture. By
the time you finish reading the book
you will never think about religion the
same way again. Learn more at

opening up and being showered in light.
