The Biblical records of Jacob’s life serve as a metaphor for us to contend with human instinct, mental reasoning, and angelic inspirations. His life journeys and aspirations teach us to strive for excellence even when it goes contrary to social traditions. God provides us with spiritual guides, often called angels, to help us navigate the pathways of life. Using metaphysical and astrological principles, the incidents of Jacob’s life, especially as a blessing changes his name to Israel, are discussed, evaluated, and urged during this session.

Having a mental picture of how you desire to live will help you refuse to be misused or misguided in every level of your existence. A message from our Supreme Father Marshall Davis urges us to use our minds to “visualize and paint” virtuous visions of our live to overcome all manner of stumbling blocks and health issues. The session also uses the Hawaiian Ho’oponopono Prayer Technique introduced in a previous service by Megan Aderele.

In this virtual celebration, members of the Spiritual Guidance Temple of Truth and Divine Life Temple pay tribute to the 114^th anniversary of the birth of our Illuminated Supreme Mother and Founder, Mildred Taylor Davis Miller. The celebration includes songs that she loved, precious memories from those that knew her and a beautiful discussion of one of the messages from Mother Miller’s archives. The discussion was led by St. Megan Aderele, who spoke on silent prayer, surrendering to God, and the Ho’oponopono prayer technique.

As the Bible says, “Only the pure in heart can see God.” Jesus the Christ tells us to pray by going into a room and speaking to our unseen Father. The Father will see what “is done in secret and will reward you. (Matt 6:6). As a meditation technique, the purity of heart we seek through meditating in secret is better explained in Chapter 40 of the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. In this gospel, we learn that “your human will must be absorbed by the divine, then you will come into the consciousness of holiness.” This session discusses how to enter a silence that connects you to God’s wisdom, power, and love.

We have all heard that humans are created in the image of God. Many spiritual philosophies regard humans as a microcosm of the Great Macrocosm. In this discussion, we dare to consider that when a person is anointed with the One True Spirit, that person becomes a twin or spiritual duplicate of the Creator. As it says in the Bible (82nd Psalm), “ye are gods [Elohim] and all of you are children of the Most High.”

Father Rodney Williams, from the Divine Life Temple, continues a lesson on becoming aware of your consciousness and using the power of the number 10 to attract spiritual blessing to your life.

Father Rodney Williams presents part one an inspiring lesson on being conscious of your state of mind and how to understand the significance and power of the number 10 to understand the greatness of the unity expressed by the number one and the infinite possibility of the number zero. The lesson explores the spiritual virtues of tithing by focusing on the number 10 rather than on money. 

Since ancient times, spiritual students have been urged to “Know Thyself.” The key phrase for the sign of Aquarius also is “I know.” The original purpose that Carter G. Woodson had for Black History Month was to study black life and history to glean the best from the past, and foresee a better future. Woodson promoted the idea of looking into the scientific knowledge being uncovered by Black scholars as a foundation for the soul searching into black achievements and progress. In this session, we look at the current theme for Black History Month, Black Health and Wellness, and the original purpose of the self-examinations into the history and literature of Black culture.

Like a farmer using fertile soil to grow a better crop, we should use appreciation to improve the manifestation of our desires, ideas, and aspirations, according to a message from our Supreme Father Marshall L. Davis. A wonderful method of showing appreciation is to give tithes and offerings. These seeds “contribute greatly to your spiritual growth and your material prosperity,” Davis wrote in the message. During this conversation, several attendees expressed blessings they received from tithing and from showing appreciation to others in various ways.

This session reviewed our discussions from November, December, and January. Topics included looking into your soul to judge yourself, unfolding like a lily blossom, the anniversary of our Illuminated Supreme Mother Mildred Davis Miller, how to fuel your faith, developing cosmic sight to see heaven open, praying straight to heaven like an arrow, making your Christmas trees more sacred with light, life and love, the wisdom of Kwanzaa dwelling together in unity, appreciating wise and encouraging words, the Capricorn secret of being content, your dream, your mountain: community over chaos, and using the workshop of the mind to declare your profession.
