Dr. John Waterhouse site https://substack.com/@mysticlivingpress , http://revjohnwaterhouse.com/Rev. Paul site https://iamspiritalive.com/https://ocspiritualcenter.com 🔄 Turning Points15:41, The call to ministry. At her first Asilomar in 1994, only 5 months in, people kept telling her she had a gift. Standing on the deck she realised: "Holy crap, I'm supposed to be a minister." 17:00, The 30-year question. At age 14 she read John 1:1 and felt it was "the key to everything." No minister could explain it, until she found the Science of Mind textbook three decades later.19:10, The break-in breakthrough. After a burglary she opened the textbook randomly and found the answer: "the Word" as the creative process in the individual.21:27, Proof of inner change. Driving home, something that would have made her furious happened, but the anger "just wasn't there." Not suppressed. Simply gone.✨ Memorable Moments07:28, Daily spiritual practice. Making the bed, reading, 10-min meditation, "Inner Fitness" intentions, evening journaling, thank-you cards & gratitude journal.24:20, Ballroom dancing analogy. You must learn the basic steps before freestyling, same with spiritual mind treatment. Without them, "you're just waving your arms and moving your feet." 28:17, Congregant's breakthrough. A woman discovered her family belief that "rich people were jerks" had unconsciously driven her to divorce her husband. "I didn't even know I knew that."32:49, Etymology of "demand." Ken Gordon asked "Have you made your demand of the universe?", the root word means "to take your hands off," perfectly describing the release step of prayer. 34:25, "There's a place in me that says yes." When asked how she knows a prayer has manifested: "I don't have words… but I know it's done when there's a place in me that just literally lets go.Prayers Radio.com 24/7, is a non-denominational spiritual radio station dedicated to providing continuous spiritual prayer for individuals of all faiths.

Reverend Abigail opens the session with an affirmative prayer focusing on infinite love, connection, and divine expression. **How Prayer Shows Up in Daily Life** 05:02Reverend Abigail shares her history with the Science of Mind teaching and illustrates the power of affirmative prayer with a personal story about manifesting a limousine ride. She emphasizes that prayer is her primary spiritual practice and is integrated into her daily routine. **Youth Advocacy and the Next Gen Retreat** 08:50The discussion covers Reverend Abigail’s work founding the Next Gen Retreat for young adults aged 18 to 35. She explains how the retreat provides a safe space for young people to practice prayer authentically, even using unconventional language. **Staying Grounded and the Power of Prayer Partners** 11:53Reverend Abigail explains her morning routine of meeting with a daily prayer partner to share wins, gratitude, and intentions. She highlights how a partner helps maintain a positive “feeling tone” and holds the consciousness of truth during challenging times. **Teaching Techniques for Spiritual Mind Treatment** 17:23When teaching prayer, Reverend Abigail focuses on the emotional feeling behind the words and encourages students to use “juicy words” that resonate personally. John shares a teaching exercise where students express emotions without words while the practitioner repeats the word “love.” **Evolution of Prayer and Personal Philosophy** 20:21Raised Methodist, Reverend Abigail transitioned from beseeching prayer to affirmative Science of Mind treatment. She discusses how her prayers have evolved to incorporate the positive qualities of admired historical figures and ancestors. **Ministry at CSL Bellingham** 23:52Reverend Abigail describes her relationship with her new congregation at CSL Bellingham, characterizing it as a mutual match of quirks and authenticity. The community embraces her eccentricities, such as wearing costumes and casual attire. **Explaining Science of Mind to Newcomers** 26:13Reverend Abigail shares her elevator speech, explaining that Centers for Spiritual Living teach the common thread of truth running through all world religions. She notes that the philosophy uniquely integrates science, philosophy, and the original teachings of Jesus. **Favorite Ernest Holmes Teachings** 28:47Reverend Abigail identifies “The Essential Ernest Holmes” as her favorite book due to its accessible compilation of deep writings. She also highlights Holmes’s concept of “keeping it open at the top” to allow for the ongoing evolution of consciousness. **Handling Daily Challenges and Key Takeaways** 31:21To handle daily challenges, Reverend Abigail immediately centers herself through prayers of surrender and deep gratitude. Her primary takeaway for the audience is to use prayer as a tool to reconnect with the inherent joy, love, and peace of God. **Closing Prayer and Outro** 34:04Reverend Abigail leads a closing prayer centered on gratitude.

Dr. Jim Lockard 2:51 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=171s]Lockard joined the Science of Mind in 1989 while a Miami-Dade police officer. After retiring, he founded a church in Baltimore in 1996, served in Fort Lauderdale and California, and was on Religious Science International’s Board (2003-2012). Retiring in 2015, he traveled before settling in Lyon, France.Books and Blog 5:03 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=303s]Lockard presented his recent books, Being the Beloved Community and *Creating the Beloved Community*, on cultural change. He writes a bi-monthly blog on spiritual leadership and Science of Mind. An earlier book, *Survival Thinking for Law Enforcement and Corrections Officers*, was also mentioned.Prayer in Daily Life 6:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=400s]Lockard compared spiritual practice to a musician's daily scales, essential regardless of skill. He practices every morning and sometimes during the day, stressing a beginner's mind in each treatment and warning that assuming mastery breeds complacency.Morning Spiritual Practice 9:06 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=546s]Lockard’s morning practice evolved from meditating 30 minutes on five or six issues to using the waking-sleeping transition for reflection, treatments, inspirational reading, and background music. Some treatments help him stay informed on world events while maintaining spiritual grounding.Tangible Results and Evolution of Prayer 11:58 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=718s]Lockard shifted from petitionary prayer asking God to change circumstances to a mature practice focused on internal transformation. He views Spiritual Mind Treatment as a powerful psychological tool, emphasizing that consciousness shapes reality rather than the universe changing on demand.Teaching Techniques for Spiritual Mind Treatment 15:43 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=943s]Lockard’s hybrid model adds denial and reaffirmation steps within each phase, stopping to challenge limiting beliefs with self-compassion. Treatments can last up to 90 minutes when resistance is strong. He warns that without genuine emotional engagement, treatments lack effectiveness, comparing rote practice to childhood prayers.Application in Law Enforcement; 21:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSj-qUOQP0&t=1275s]Lockard used treatment during midnight shifts and taught self-image psychology at the Miami-Dade Police Academy. Affirmation training reduced washouts from 25% to nearly zero. Officers visualized safety and recovery; one used this to survive a severe accident. However, visualizing funerals increased shock risk.Prayers Radio.com 24/7, is a non-denominational spiritual radio station dedicated to providing continuous spiritual prayer for individuals of all faiths.
