What is God’s highest vision for the Sterling Study Group?

Homecoming, a feeling of welcoming and acceptance and relief.  People leave with the knowledge/feeling that they’ve visited a special anointed place and space – one that’s there, eagerly awaiting their return if they choose.

Each member growing in joy and with a sense of connection.  Appreciation is a habit for everyone.

Learning, wisdom, continued laughter, love and sharing, growth in God consciousness and centered in Oneness.

Love, support and joy.

Shine on!

Dolphins skimming over the waves as a pod.

Laughter, freedom and fun.

Love, support and joy.

Membership, ownership and partnership

Going forward, continuing on, the heart grows larger

Loving atmosphere, laughter, connection to each other and to Source

We are the channel, the “excuse” (opportunity) for Eternal, Divine Love to flow; to expand, to share.  God uses us to manifest Its Love!  Source finds every little opening to manifest all good, all best, all harmony, joy and peace.

To come together and be so centered in the oneness and Godness that it is easier than the day before to carry that feeling forward in all we do and with each connection we make.

What is my part in this unfolding vision?

Ownership

Speaking on a panel

To celebrate the beginning of summer and the fullness of light by throwing a party.

Realness.  Modeling down-to-earth, welcoming, truth-speaking realness to all.  Being ME – enough for God to express through me and trusting that it is enough.

Love, love, love, light, kindness, circle of love.

Let God’s love flow through me into the Group and back again.

Add my love and support to the group and reflect back the joy.

To trust myself to freely and full express myself in the comfort and truth that I am a perfect expression of God.

To be in service.

Look up and see the light, then be the light I see.

Willingness to be a radiant being.

Understanding, gratefulness, learning and sharing

Be open in her heart, her love and appreciation to channel God’s love.

Is there anything I need to release or let go of in order to embrace this vision?

Fear of judgment

Self-consciousness, any feeling of inferiority or shyness.

Judgment

Anxiety

Energy

Hands opening wide, not grasping, letting go with love

Self doubt, self criticism and fear of rejection

Disconnectedness

I do not need to be a Practitioner in order to represent SSG.  Being me is enough.  Let of the feeling that I must have certification to be of value.

Release negative energy, let go and share energy and be open to joy – just let it flow.

What qualities of God do I need to embody?

Love, humor, confidence, enthusiasm

All of the qualities – fun, joy, love, embrace peace, seeing, knowing that all is God

Unconditional love, joy, peace, being fully in the present moment.

Love for all, appreciation for the harmony life offers, peace, be a bright light

Love as God does, laugh as God does, share, appreciate and have gratitude as God does.

Unconditional love, allowing, appreciation

Be myself

Stillness and peace underlying all actions

Lightness of being

Peace

Embrace openness, understanding, growth, accepting, joy, creativity and flow

Open loving heart, greater confidence in God trusting me as a vessel, grandness – broadness – expansive thinking, faith that my words, and actions are enough, as well as humor.

Wouldn’t it be nice if…

Meditate, contemplate, stay as clear as possible.

There was a babysitter or children’s program

There was a way to unobtrusively check on those who came before and haven’t come in a while?  Let them know they are thought of and welcomed.

My husband began attending regularly and gaining from the SOM teachings.

We attracted me from all walks of life into our study group.

If Rev. Maria came here for a weekend to talk and give a workshop?  If we threw a big party and celebrated afterwards.

If we spent a weekend in the cabins in Algonkian Park.

SSG grows in faith of members to become a center for learning.  We grew as a family, members to add to our understanding, visioning, sharing and celebrations of accomplishments.

This group would expand to many people, churches, nations, the globe?

Bring the awareness that we are these channels of love and bring it to every environment that we live?  If the expansion continues this would spread to all nations and people.

It went on forever.

Complete satisfaction, enrichment forever

We could take life lightly and laugh and play even more together.

We could spend 5 or 10 minutes in meditation during the meetings together.

More folks were inspired to play with us.

We grew big enough to have a children’s program.

There were a more of an equal representation of men and women.

If we had a beautiful setting for the group to gather where we could enjoy the inside and outside – lots of glass, greenery, water

More of same

We were joined by several straight single men

Everyone loved taking their turn on panels.
