Universal Spirit Center, a Global Heart Community

We are a Science of Mind spiritual community exploring the wisdom in all spiritual traditions to enhance our own spiritual evolution and that of the planet. By embracing the diversity in all of life, we recognize the divine presence in all beings. We seek to remember that we, along with all creatures, are expressions of Spirit and that love is always the deepest truth between us.

Come join us in reaching our fullest potential through the realizations of these truths!

What is Universal Spirit?

Universal Spirit is the Presence our ancestors felt as they worshiped the Sun and Moon. It is the tenderness of the Goddess and the sound of the Great Spirit the Native Americans heard in the winds. It is the enlightenment Buddha discovered in his own being and the fertility of the earth honored by the pagans. It is the energy of the Tao or the glories streaming through Lord Krishna. Universal Spirit is the presence of Christ, it is Yahweh who called forth Abraham and led Moses, and Allah calling Mohammed. It is the beauty and the power of the Universe. It is the void and totality of all. Universal Spirit is the experience of love and awakening and empowerment.

Universal Spirit claims no culture or messiah or religion as its own but expresses as all religions and sages claiming compassion and peace. Finding its most profound expression within the center of each being, Universal Spirit evolves as we awaken to It.

This Universal Spirit moves us into the global community, calling us to love and serve all.

Our center is the place where we journey from an individual experience of Spirit to the evolution of Universal Spirit as it expresses and expands and awakens in the presence of community. The center of our community is Universal Spirit.

We are Universal Spirit Center, a Global Heart Community.

Theme for February:
The Power of Love

Probably the final piece that led to my transition from Christianity to New Thought is about this idea that "God is Love."  Time and again, in scripture we read that "God is Love."  Certainly, Jesus' life was the supreme example of living in a radical transformative love. 
 
Ok, God is love, I got that, made sense.  However, I became increasingly confused in a theology that held to teachings about God's judgment and rage toward his people, God answering the prayers of some and not of others, God sending people to hell forever, God not liking some people but preferring others and on and on.  Sounds to me like we're making God in our own image.
 
Our purpose of coming together at UniversalSpiritCenter is to experience God as love in ourselves and with each other.  Ah, to become so open...so inviting of the power of love in our lives that judgment, rage, and condemnation have no power in our lives at all.  This is powerful stuff.  Come join us this February, in experiencing love.
In Love,
Rev. Kevin Bucy

    Oneness Blessing

    The Oneness Blessings, or Oneness Deeksha as it is also called, is a phenomenon of Grace that creates an opening through which you can experience your true heart's desire directly and fully.

    Experienced practitioners give the Oneness Blessing-a transmission of divine energy-by placing their hands on a recipient's head for a few minutes. The effects are cumulative, and can accelerate the awakening of ones consciousness and the flowering of the heart. This is an entirely new paradigm. There is no guru, no teaching, and no practice.

    Please join us for this experience of Grace as we meditate together and receive multiple Blessings.

    • Fourth Sundays, 1:00 pm
      Kathleen Petryshyn and Guest Facilitators1:00 pm
