The SOM theme for November is “Breathe in the View”. In celebration of reaching our summit, we appreciate our view from a higher plane. In gratitude, we welcome the question: “What will our next journey reveal?”
This Week’s Science of Mind Theme
The View from Here
As we learn to turn away from the appearances of any situation and lift our consciousness out of the material scene, we see every situation from a place of Spiritual Truth.
We have been on an amazing, upward, evolutionary journey this year rooted in timeless wisdom. This is the opportunity for us to reflect on the journey — the challenges, the triumphs, the opportunities, the actions, the shifts, the changes, the pivotal moments, and the growth our community has experienced while travelling this path.
We appreciate and honour what has occurred this year and on this journey. We express gratitude for all of it. Feeling and expressing gratitude lifts our consciousness even higher and gives us an even clearer perspective of the Spiritual Truth that is always operating.
In our upward spiral of evolution, we often face the challenges; but as we evolve, we face them from a higher place on the spiral and can view them from a higher place in consciousness. The higher we lift our consciousness, the clearer we can see the Truth of any situation. We can be “in the world, but not of it”.
In any situation, look beyond the appearances and seek the spiritual truth of what is before us.

MIND-FULL MOMENT
“This is our purpose: To live the purest, the largest, the fairest, the most useful, the most beautiful and the most spiritual life possible, just for today. To be our very best here and now, with no desire to outshine some other being, but simply to be all that we are in divine being now.”
— Christian Larson
