Master of Mystical Christianity Lesson 24

Questions For the Heart and Mind

What is the relationship between intimacy and sexuality? What role does intimacy play in your life? The relationship between intimacy and sexuality is the development of knowledge of another. The role intimacy plays in my life is that affection, understanding and support are important to me. If you are married or in an intimate relationship, is God a part of your union? Is it a sacred union? I am not married. I believe that in intimate relationship, God is most definitely a part of the union, and the genuine love within the union makes it a sacred one. Have you met any of your soul mates or twin flame in the third dimensional plane? How did you recognize them and what was the result? Yes, I have met a soul mate. My recognition was intuitive recognition within. The result was that I never feel lonely; I always feel there is someone who will always listen to me. What is the connection between intimacy, sexuality and planetary healing? I believe intimacy to be close relationship and communication with others. Sexuality is the gift of identity given by God to a man or woman.  Planetary healing for me is living in conscious harmony with nature. The connection between the three is that balance between close relationships with others, comfortable in our own identity, leads us to harmony with the world around us.

Master of Mystical Christianity Lesson 23

Questions For the Heart and Mind Defining alchemy allegorically and symbolically, what base metals in your life need to be transformed into gold? What steps are you taking to accomplish this? The base metals in my life needing to be transformed into gold are the strengths and dedication I need to be a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ. I am working on this by reaching out to God through a daily program of prayer. I also wish to continue deepening my understanding of God by reading sacred writings and reflecting on them. I am studying the Master of Mystical Christianity hoping to strengthen and deepen my knowledge about Jesus Christ and spirituality, and wish to continue to do further study once the course is completed. If you are past the age of 40, recall your passage through mid-life and the astrological transits of Saturn, Uranus and Chiron. What changed in your life? If you are under the age of 40, how can you use this information to assist you through this time of transformation? My mid-life transition was an strong experience. My outlook on life changed. At the time I was entering my mid-life time, I was in an accident which affected my mobility. As a result I reflected and a great change took place within me. My own experience has led me to believe that the change was God at work within me, helping me to move to the next dimension of my life. Have you ever consciously experienced kundalini energy? If you have, what were the symptoms and what was the result? I understand kundalini energy as energy for developing strength, awareness, character and consciousness. Yes, I have consciously experienced kundalini energy as I entered my mid-life and a time of transition. The symptoms were a feelings of deep change occurring within my spirit, and the result was that I followed the call to become a minister. How would you bring sexuality and spirituality together in your life today? I would bring sexuality and spirituality together in my life by rejoicing in the identity God has gifted me as a woman.

Re: Master of Mystical Christianity Lesson 27

Questions For the Heart and Mind What do you believe our world will look like in 2012? Our world in 2012 looks, as always, in development. Strides continue to be made in technology and other areas. Many needs are experienced in different areas of our world. Our world also continues to search for meaning. How do your feelings and emotions impact your spiritual journey? Are they your friends or foes? My feelings and emotions impact my spiritual journey as they form my emotional identity. They influence my daily thoughts and prayer to God as I search for answers to situations in my life. They are my friends as they inspire me to thought, and to pause before taking action to reflect on possible consequences, thus smoothing my path through life. If you are a piece of God, what is your biggest challenge in answering your spiritual "call"? What is your "call" asking you to do? My biggest challenge is to be authentic as a daughter of God. My call is asking me to continue on my path in growth of relationship with God and others. Catherine Whittle Universal Life Church

Master of Mystical Christianity Lesson 26

Questions For the Heart and Mind What effect has your spiritual journey had on your emotional body? What is your fulcrum point? My spiritual journey has profound impact on my emotional body. My experience with God is that of relationship and communication;  this impacts on my emotional life as the relationship continues. My fulcrum point is the fixed point around which my entire life revolves. That point for me is God. Have you had encounters with angels and/or ascended masters? What did you learn from these encounters and how did you feel? Yes, I have had encounters with angels. I learned from these encounters that I am deeply cherished and carefully watched over. I felt deeply valued and peaceful. How is the ascension journey of Mother Earth and/or yourself affecting your daily life? What is the biggest change that you have noticed? The ascension journey of earth I believe to be the ongoing process of God's inspiration to me to recognize myself as member of His human family, and to live in accordance with this reality. This affects my daily life by challenging me to make choices after prayer. I believe the more we are attuned to ourselves and each other as beings living in reality graced by God, the more our actions will influence for good in our earthly reality. The result is that Earth and all in it will live in honour as creation of the Loving God. The biggest change I have noticed is there is heightened awareness among so many of our human family of the need to join hands together as a global village, to protect and care for each other and our earthly creation. Do you trust that the universe is a safe place and that anything you manifest will be positive and beneficial to your life? Why or why not? The universe is not always a safe place. We may trust, but physical and mental hurt still come our way from time to time. The reason I believe this is that this has been my lived experience. However, I do believe that God is watching over all, and that any situation I undergo will manifest eventually as positive and beneficial, as God works steadfastly in my life to bring the greatest good for me out of the occurrences that form my daily life.

Questions For the Heart and Mind What is your definition of ascension? Do you feel ascension is for the special few or is it possible for anyone, including yourself? My definition of ascension is the taking up of both physical and spiritual body into the state called heaven. In the Scriptures it is told that Jesus ascended after His Resurrection, and Elijah did not die, but ascended into heaven. My view is that ascension is at the Will of God. According to my life experience, I have not witnessed any ascension. Have you had close encounters with your etheric, astral and spiritual bodies? Have you ever had an out-of-body experience? Reflect on being a spiritual being having a physical experience. Yes, I have had encounter with my soul. I have experienced that there is more within me than just my physical body. I believe that my God-created spirit is experiencing earth through my human body. My reflection is that my experience through my spiritual and physical senses is a time of blessing and personal growth in close communion with my Creator, God. Do you experience your world as multi-dimensional? In what ways has this affected your life? What challenges and opportunities does this potential bring? I experience my world as multi-dimensional, with more to the world than the physical dimension. This has affected my life in that I felt inspired to follow the Great Creator, God, by becoming a minister. This potential has brought the challenge to share with others the blessings I have received from God. The opportunities this potential brought to me are experiences and friendships as I minister. How have you experienced the truth that thoughts and words are vibrations that create and manifest around you? I have experienced this truth by the sense of being aware of the mood of others. If another is feeling positive and happy, their thoughts and resultant words lift my spirit. If I sense unhappiness and negative feelings in another and receive negative words from them, I feel a resultant lowering of my mood.  Catherine Whittle http://www.ulcseminary.org/mysticalchristianity.phpUniversal Life Church

The Beginnings of Christianity

How does Christ's person and work constitute the beginning of Christianity.

The Universal Life Church Seminary Program

 

          Jesus was an extraordinary person he was able too reason at an early age which is shown via his observation skills .it was not until after he was Baptised by his cousin John the Baptist that his skills came to the attention of the public, the way he embraced mans laws and added his own which was to go one step forward as oppose to being negative.  His positive skills and the manner he expressed himself caused a large following he was able to speak so even the uneducated could follow his beliefs even by treating none Jews as equals in his ministry would have been a first a religion that embraced all regardless of gender and race would have been so advanced for his generation it must have scared the elders and also the Roman army.

          Despite the above Jesus was still able to teach his followers the disciples even though he had visitors who wished to hear him speak or heal them, most religions or cults would have turned people away while the Teacher was training his followers this more so made Jesus and his teachings unique.

          When Jesus was crucified some followers would have fell by the wayside as their leader or rabbi had left them it must have seemed the end of everything dear ,but the resurrection secured Christianity because he was seen to have spoken to numerous persons complete with the wounds he was given from the crucifixion and from the spear this then caused the following to strengthen not only was this event the foundation it was the foundation stone with all men being the children of god.

          Jesus as the rock and Christianity as its foundation created the biggest religion which was global in its teachings and beliefs.
