Church of Spiritual Light is an all
faith, spiritual community. Our mission is to
provide a place where people who wish to truly
connect with the divinity within themselves,
within others and All That Is can gather
together and celebrate the sacredness of life
through pure spiritual connection, meditation,
reflection, ritual, prayer and song, embracing
and entering into the Mystery.
Our Sunday Service is not church as usual. It is
a joyful, fun, inspiring, sacred, and powerful
healing and empowerment ceremony, a truly unique
immersive experience for nurturing the Soul and
honoring Body, Mind and Spirit.
Please join us as we celebrate each Sunday
morning from 9:45 to 11 am. We are located at
1939 Park Meadows Drive, #1, Fort Myers, FL
33907. We look forward to gathering and
connecting with you! All are welcome.
Church of Spiritual Light also offers to the
community over 50+ classes, special events,
meditations, ceremonies and workshops per month,
that are designed to empower, enlighten and
enrich your life through the power of tribal
community, energy medicine and
bio-psycho-social-spiritual care through the
People Shine Project.
MANIFESTO OF LIGHT
I am conscious of living with the divine. I need
go nowhere special to access spiritual light and
wisdom, to experience eternity. Each moment of
my day is alive with spiritual energy because
the particles carrying that energy are present
in all that lives. Whether or not I am aware of
it, this truth still exists. If I wish to grow
and learn spiritual lessons, I will start by
paying attention to my thoughts, my feelings, my
environment, the circumstances of my life and
the state of my personal relationships.
My temple of worship is within me. And as I grow
in this awareness, I recognize that I am
surrounded by many other expressions of the
divine. I realize I am not alone, have not been
alone and can never be alone. And this knowledge
impels me to come into holy, sacred conscious
contact with my community, to celebrate the
body, mind, heart and soul of humanity and this
creation.
"Normal life is compatible with supreme
realization and ... direct mystical contact with
the Divine and can be sustained in any setting
or activity. This is a revolution, for it
dissolves all dogmas and hierarchies, all
separations between ordinary and spiritual life,
sacred and profane, humdrum and mystical. A new
spiritual age has dawned for humankind, an age
in which the Divine will be present intimately,
normally, consciously in all things and
activities."
~ Andrew Harvey

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along. ~ Rumi
Where
do your true passions lie? What and/or
who makes your soul soar, causes you to
lose track of time, brings deep
satisfaction and fulfillment to your
life? What gets you excited to be alive?
What melts your heart, brings out
emotion? What are you avoiding? How are
you experiencing love? How do you love?
The answer to these questions can help
you discover more about the quantity and
quality of love you are allowing in your
life. Many of us can be very stingy with
our love. We constantly withhold love
from ourselves and others. We think that
in order to discern right from wrong
that we must cast judgment and withhold
love in order to correct ourselves.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
For it is by facing and embracing what
we are, all of it, that the whole
picture is revealed to us and we turn
the impetus of our journey from one of
force, to one of power: The Power of
Love.
Human
beings have a deep and wide intelligence
that far outstrips the thinking mind.
Even scientists have come to identify
what they call a host of intelligences
within an individual. There is
mathematical genius, artistic and
creative genius and even now there is
exploration into the intelligence of the
heart and body itself! The heart has an
electro magnetic field of resonance
which is thousands of times stronger
than that which is conducted by thought
alone, giving new meaning to phrases
like, "put your heart into it" or "my
heart wasn't in it" and "I really took
that to heart". But how do we grow in
our ability to love?
The
answer to this question, as so many
poets and mystics have revealed, is
potentially why we are even here in the
flesh - to experience the many faces and
facets of the Creator, to intimately
reveal to ourselves who and what we are
through this knowledge and experience
and to create something new as we allow
the alchemy of our passions to forge us
into autonomous beings of light who can
CHOOSE so very many ways to express true
love and reveal the Light. For when the
Light is revealed through the stories of
our lives, we are able to see the
purpose of living as we continually
discover and lean into what really
matters to us. For without love, little
else truly matters. As Rumi says, "Your
task is not to seek for love, but merely
to seek and find all the barriers within
yourself that you have built against
it.”
There is some kiss we want with our
whole lives, the touch of spirit on the
body. ~ Rumi

Without an understanding of myth or

the relationship between destruction and
creation, death and rebirth, the
individual suffers the mysteries of life
as meaningless mayhem alone.” - Marion
