Portland Center For Spiritual Living Podcast

It doesn’t matter what the topic or situation is. This is ours to do. Let’s amp up our gentleness and respond “in kind.”

We are the change we wish to see in the world. We are the Love we wish to see in the world. Together, grounded in divine power and promise, we transform the world.

Regardless of what you may have done, or how many times you go astray, you matter. Some of us know directly how we matter in the life of another person. Others of us may never know where or how or for whom we mattered. But, rest assured, you are the answer to someone’s prayer.

What happens when we’re confronted by a situation where “figuring it out” just doesn’t work? Sometimes it’s only when all our problem-solving skills fall short that we remember there’s a deeper intelligence within us, offering us our perfect answer. “I don’t know how, but Spirit does!

It’s time to acknowledge our past (good, bad, and ugly) while disentangling ourselves from it. It’s time to forgive and release old patterns that no longer serve us. Let’s install and practice a new script: “UP UNTIL NOW…”

We wake up each morning to infinite possibility: unlimited, overflowing Good that waits only for our acceptance of it. Are we willing to embrace that potential? Dare we choose Heaven on Earth? Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller helps us understand the physics and metaphysics behind this Truth, so our brains can accept Reality and allow us to choose our new Now, our Heaven-on-Earth, every day.

Being uncomfortable is the least of our concerns, because we have a lotta love work to do. Stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to participate in the Grand Rising. We wake up from unconscious beliefs and behaviors, and move towards conscious action that supports evolution individually and collectively.

Changing ourselves, our community, and therefore the world is not for the faint of heart. The challenges in front of us may sometimes seem or feel insurmountable. But with the power and Love and Spirit, expressing Itself as us, we can do anything!

As we move through comfort to discomfort to growth, returning again to the journey at a higher awareness and greater willingness to live outside our comfort zone, we become more of who we truly are. Patti Smith wrote, “We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves.” As we become more aware, every experience on our journey brings us closer to God, closer to our Selves. February, the month we celebrate Love, reminds us that the ultimate comfort, peace, harmonious life is as Love. Allowing ourselves to hope / know that Love is the kernel of Light in every fear, every false belief, waiting patiently to be revealed, is the transformative healing process. Join us to explore the transformation that begins, lives, and ends with Love, the Divine Light that is who we are.

As we, and all humanity, rise in consciousness to be more fully Who we truly Are, old things fall apart to make room for the new; shells break open; and comfortable habits no longer work. Join Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller as she explores the experience of this transformation process we have chosen to be part of – how we can transcend the apparent discomfort of the moment and surf the tidal wave of Love.

The past doesn’t define us. Now is the time to apply the lessons learned and put our teaching into practice. We are the heroes that the world has been seeking.

All humanity is being invited to live from an intention to co-create a world that works for everyone, led by the Spirit within and recognizing that the power of that intention creates a beautiful ripple of love across the planet. Today, Rev. Dr. Ruth L. Miller explores with us the nature of the Grand Rising that is happening around the world – and our role, as a Center for Spiritual Living, in the process.

Go beyond typical “New Year’s Resolutions” and learn to create lasting changes in your life. Participate in our “Golden Bowl” service and have your desires for newness clarified and witnessed by our spiritual leaders. Attendees of our virtual spiritual community participate in the ritual online (during the live process) by joining a Licensed Practitioner via Zoom to complete the ritual. Welcome, 2024!

Come join us for Christmas carols and a message of hope as we celebrate the light of the season.

There is a vision of love and wholeness deep within us all, an intuitive sense of our Oneness with God and with each other.

Our desires are actually our yearning to experience the qualities of God in our lives. We inherently know that, deep within us, is pure wholeness, and we want to feel that. Indeed, all religions and all spiritual traditions have been established to provide that. And yet, we still yearn; we still struggle to find that experience. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller offers us some insights and actions that can help us embrace this truth of our being.

Want more joy in your life? Develop a practice of daily gratitude regardless of life’s challenges and observe opportunities unfold.
