Unity Movement (Unity) was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore and is rooted in peace, love, and the recognition of each person’s inner divinity. They believed transforming the world begins with transforming ourselves. Today, Unity Center of Des Moines continues to carry forth that vision, with each of us playing a vital role as we sing together each week, “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.” Come join me as we explore the roots of Unity and dive into the question “What does it truly mean to live in Unity today and how do I ensure it begins with me?”

Two years ago, on Easter Sunday (2023), I spoke on “The Power of YOUR Resurrection!” Yet Easter isn’t just about Resurrection…it’s also about Ascension! For just as the flowers and trees resurrect to new life during the spring, they also ascend upward and outward from within; Blooming into the fullness of their being. What new life is waiting to burst forth in you this spring? You’ve come through so much. You’ve surrendered so much. You’ve risen! And now, it’s time to embrace YOUR Ascension! To Live in deeper connection with your truth, with life and with Love!

What makes you, you? Is it the way you look, the way you talk, or the way you dress? Is it what you do for a living? What you like or don’t like? What your values or beliefs are? Is it just one thing, or is it many things? Do you truly know what makes you, YOU? And more importantly, “Do you LOVE what makes you, YOU?”

Throughout my life, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the Bible. Believing it held all the answers. If I only did what it said, my life would be blessed. And yet, through my experiences, I was left feeling empty, unfulfilled, and feeling more lost than ever. Where was this God the Bible spoke of? It seemed most of what it had brought me was pain, heartache, and dead ends. So I put it down. Never to be picked up again. Or so I thought…

As we learned in a previous message, "YOU are the Light of the World!" But if YOU are the light of the world, then why does Jesus say, “I am the way, the truth, the life”? Why not, "You are..."? Maybe Jesus is the only way? Or Maybe there is a key in the use of “I am”? And what if this key is the key that unlocks the Narrow Gate? The gate that very few find…

So much of our time is spent with the busyness of life. The doing of life. But how much time is spent simply Being? Being present with ourselves, with others and with all that is. That experience is profound in and of itself. But what if you add the presence of another along with the gentleness of loving touch? Two or more beings…simply being, each meeting the other where they are. We can only go so far in our healing journey by ourselves. At some point, you need the presence and conscious touch that only another can bring, that you may be truly heard and seen.

We have been taught to fear the darkness…For within it, lurk the monsters and denizens of the unknown, wounds of unhealed trauma, of experiences that overwhelmed us. The darkness holds truths we don’t want to look at, realities we keep brushing aside. But what if the Darkness holds something else? What if it also holds some of the best parts of you? Where your very being, in its wisdom, hid away hid parts of you during times of trauma and overwhelm. Hiding them away for you to discover when it was time. Hiding them away to keep those most sacred aspects of you safe. Knowing that someday, you would be seeking for that which felt like it was missing…
