Winding Down the Year but Winding Up To Believe!

Dear Friends,

As the year begins to wind down this is also the beginning of the season of gratitude and believing! Please let me gently make something very clear. Many dreams still wait in the wings. Many aspirations are just within our grasp if we keep stretching. Many hungers need nourishment. Many yearnings must be acknowledged, so that they can be fulfilled. Many authentic sparks must be fanned before Passion per-forms her perfect work in you. So let’s throw another log on the fire….This is not the day you quit! This is not the day you set your dreams aside! For this is the season and day you stare down every naysayer in your life, including you who doesn’t believe your dreams are possible to come true. Finally. And now you all know that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is the season and the day that you shout, “I Believe!” Keep on shouting it until you’re hoarse. No more muttering under your breath. Do you know what happens every time a child says, “I don’t believe in fairies!” A fairy falls down and begins to cry! Do you know what happens every time a Lightworker says, “I don’t believe. It’s taking too long!” The Angels cry!

This is not the season to stop believing in your DREAMS! This might be the time to wind UP! We simply can’t afford the luxury of skepticism. And what must you believe with every breath, until you do believe again? This is the time of the mystical alchemy the Spirit of the Season! Yes, we might be winding down the year but let us not wind down on gathering in groups for world peace or gathering in groups to work with the alchemy energy that is avail-able at this time. So I am going to personally ask you all to keep on believing that you have the passion, intelligence, brilliance, creativity, wisdom, clarity, depth, and savvy to find that quiet center of solace, serenity, and strength necessary to create and sustain an authentic life and to keep joining us at the Hope Interfaith Center to create the New World! An authentic spiritual life is the most personal form of worship and the best gift you can give to yourself as well as the world!
Oh, I thank you Charles Dickens! Because he is the person who wrote, “Would that the spirit of Christmas, like the nature of the Beloved, could live within our hearts every day of the year.” This is the time to BELIEVE! This is the time to wind up! This is the time to gather together! This is the time to celebrate!

We have so many wonderful events at the Hope Interfaith Center for you to come to that are FREE! Perhaps this is our Christmas gift to all of you all year long! We have groups and classes that can help you go beyond the toys, tinsel, and all the stuff and move you into a moment of quiet reflection and peace. We hope that after you attend a Spiritual Service you may truly say that you know how to keep the Spirit of the Beloved in your hearts always and bring it forth upon this planet. And may you all be able to say…

“Merry Christmas! And God Bless Us, God Bless Us Every One!”

Don’t get distracted by the business of this Season! Cast a wider net. Pay close attention to your dreams. Follow your urges. Honor your hunches. Use intuition as the spiritual tool that it is. Consider coming to a spiritual service or two, or perhaps a class or one of the wonderful group gatherings that we offer. Be rereceptive and alert. See how many celestine moments you can accumulate in the course of a day. The more you are open to the magic of this season, the more magnetic you will become to receive your dreams to come TRUE!

With Pure Heart,
Hope

Hope Interfaith Center Peace Pole Project

On Monday, September 7, 2015, the Hope Interfaith Center was featured in an article in the Mankato Free Press newspaper. We are extremely grateful for the exposure from the article for the peace pole project.

Interfaith center to plant peace pole in France

By Jessica Bies

Peace Pole at YWCAMANKATO — Every once in while Rev. Janice Gorman will visit one of several peace poles planted throughout Mankato by Hope Interfaith Center. “I do that because I believe there’s something happening in Mankato,” she said. “This seems to be a community that gets behind projects like this.”

Every time she sees one of the poles, “To tell you the truth, I become even more passionate about planting more poles. One institution, one person, one community can make a difference.”

Peace poles are monuments displaying the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” usually in a different language on each of four sides. Hope Interfaith Center has planted several of them, both locally and internationally, in Israel, Palestine, Turkey and Peru.

In Mankato and North Mankato, there are peace poles at the YWCA, Peace Park, South Central College, CADA and the First Congregational United Church of Christ, to name a few. There is also one in front of the Interfaith Center, given in memory of a member who died from cancer.

The next pole, to be the center’s 11th, will be planted in France. Later this year one will be planted at the Coffee Hag.

“This year, because it’s a local and international project, we’re going to plant two,” Gorman said.

Gorman will be leading 18 people on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France Oct. 14. She wants to plant a peace pole there because several journalists recently killed in an attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

“The local one is at the Coffee Hag because they’ve created such an environment of peace and inclusivity there,” she said.

The peace poles are meant to inspire people to think of peace, Gorman said, then act to create it.

“I don’t think peace is just simply the opposite of violence,” she said. “I believe peace is an action, even more than a feeling. It’s easy for people to have the fuzzy feeling of peace, that why I love the peace pole project. We’re not simply talking about peace, we’re acting it out.”

She hopes that residents will sometimes visit the local poles as she does, and think on peace.

“It’s my hope that people look at the peace poles and stop, even for a moment, and reflect,” she said. “The poles says ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth.’ To me, making that statement is a prayer. It’s a prayer: let peace prevail on Earth.”

That journey opened the door for her to explore first-hand the benefits of a holistic approach to wellness, and verified for her that she came back to teach and serve this to others.

In 2008, Jennifer received her Master’s degree in Holistic Health from the College of St. Catherine. She completed further training in Young Living Essential Oils Raindrop Technique and Spiritual Anointing from the Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education.

Episode #25: What’s New?

“What’s New?” is our topic this month on the Pure Hope Show with our returning guest, “Miss Shirley Bolstok”.

Our DNA is changing and the Earth Mother is ascending with our DNA changes. Shirley is very excited to share with us new up-to-date information and material about the energies of the number 6 and 8. We will also be discussing the new Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies that coincide with these numbers. She is an expert at connecting with famous, well known crossover’s and I have asked her to bring in leaders that can help us or give us advice on the current earth changes or happenings, such as Gandhi and perhaps Martin Luther King.

She will also talk about the Elementals for Spring and Summer and how important it is to work with them as the seeds that are planted now will influence the new age. Consciousness is changing and our perceptions are changing as well. The number 8 is the end of illusion and the new Divine potential in all of us is ready to give birth.
