Our Un-Hidden Agenda |
Our Promise From God: (Upon which we have created this site.) |
For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there Am I in the
midst of them.
Matthew 18:20 |
Our Purpose: |
Christ
(The Divinity Within Us) |
Our Vision: | Revealing the Presence of Christ in Our Lives |
|
Our Intentions: |
1.
|
To awaken within all beings an impulse to live in "Christ Consciousness." | |
2.
|
To create a greater understanding of Life by teaching the Principles of Universal Truth and Their Revelation through real Spiritual Practice. | |
3.
|
To facilitate spiritual healing as a means of inspiring greater creative expression in the lives of millions of people throughout the world. | |
4.
|
To serve as a center of distribution for spiritual materials and practices which are of the highest possible quality and effectiveness. | |
5.
|
To facilitate the emergence of a personally realized "Universal Spirituality" that will ultimately serve all of Humanity. |
Our Objectives |
Following is a listing of a number of features that will ultimately be provided by this site: |
Whole Body Learning
- This site is being developed using the latest technologies in "whole
brain/whole body" education. These practices include reading, writing,
recitation, sharing, singing, drawing, coloring, movement and meditation.
Additionally, emerging multimedia technologies will play an important
part in presenting the content of this site. |
|
Universal Truth - This
site is being developed in accordance with "Principles of Universal Truth"
that arise in all cultures in the form of Religion, Philosophy and Science.
It is our intention to create a high level of "surface structure compatibility"
between this site and all of the major world religions. |
|
Organic Growth - Users
of this site are encouraged to submit questions. However, as a general
policy, we will very rarely provide personal responses to metaphysical
questions. Instead, all inquiries received that might be of universal
interest will be responded to in a Frequently Asked Questions
section attached to each element of the materials on the site. These responses
will eventually be integrated into those materials. This will allow for
the site to grow organically based on user involvement. |
|
Lessons of Life - A
series of on-line interactive lessons will be offered on a wide variety
of spiritual topics. Typical subjects are: The Coach to Everywhere,
Exploring the Creative Process, "The Kingdoms of Consciousness," "Foundations
of Faith," and "The End of Evil."

Tools
for Change - A wide variety of tools will be provided to facilitate
spiritual and psychological healing, as well as greater self-expression.
These practices will include such things as prayer, meditation, journaling,
setting goals and keeping "good company." A number of guided meditations
and worksheets for self-analysis will also be provided. |
|
Chants
for Change - Everyone has had the experience
of having a song get "stuck in their mind." Why not let a song with lyrics
of Spiritual Truth get stuck in your mind? A wide variety of beautiful "transformational
chanting hymns" will be provided. These chants will be performed by Rev.
Suz Ogden in a sing-a-long style that facilitates personal participation. |
|
GodSong
Project - The GodSong
is an eight minute audio tape of a transformational chanting hymn with the
lyrics "God's the Love that I Am." This tape is being given as a gift to
humanity. A free copy will be given to any individual who requests one.
|
|
Posture
Prayers - Instruction will be given in a unique form of prayer that
involves "movement." These "Posture Prayers" are extremely powerful tools
to bring Heaven (Spirit) to Earth (into the flesh). |
|
Christ
Circles
- A Christ Circle is a
small weekly gathering that takes place in people's homes. It's purpose
is to invoke the Presence of the "Divinity Within Us," which is Christ.
Activities include chanting, prayer, meditation, recitation and sharing.
Instructions for forming and facilitating a Christ Circle will be provided. |
|
Class
Materials
- Course curriculum for
those interested in teaching spiritual classes will be provided. These materials
will include an Instructor's Manual and a Student Workbook for each subject
offered. Presently, "The Principles of Financial Freedom" is available.
A number of other courses are in development. |
|
Vocational
Ministry -
This site will provide guidance on developing a "right livelihood" that
can serve as a "Vocational Ministry." Any profession or occupation
can serve as a ministry when it is conducted in alignment with spiritual
principles and provides gracious service to others. |
|
Prayer Counseling
- A number of highly trained individuals will be accessible through this
site for the purpose of providing personal spiritual instruction and prayer
counseling. |
|
Co-Creation
Process - A number of unique tools and processes for group healing
and consensus building will be provided. These techniques constitute
the practical application of spiritual principles integrated into the teachings
of modern group dynamic theorists. |
|
Sacred Days Retreats
- A number of intensive spiritual retreats will be offered for small groups
of Ministers, Practitioners and other advanced Students of Truth. Currently
open for enrollment are: |
|
Sacred
Journeys - An ongoing series of
guided tours will be offered to a number of "sacred places"
on the planet. Each of these journeys will feature a program of "spiritual
practice" especially designed to facilitate a meaningful spiritual
experience. Additionally, participants will also be free to enjoy the
usual delights of sightseeing and shopping in exotic places. |
|
Testimonials
- This site will provide a place for users to post testimonials of healings
and accomplishments. There is nothing that provides greater hope and encouragement
than to know that someone else was able to overcome a challenge similar
to your own. |
|
Book Store
- Opportunities will be provided for the on-line purchase of books, tapes,
CD's and videos that support the materials, programs and services offered
on this site. |
|
Contributions
- It is our intention to provide as much as we possibly can on-line for
free. Products that require shipping will be charged for. Consequently,
this site will be funded primarily by contributions. A variety of ways
to contribute will be developed. If you are already moved to participate
financially in this site, tax deductible gifts can be mailed to: |
Message From Rev. Lloyd |

Hello Spirit Fans - After several years of 'chipping away at the uncarved stone' that is this web site, I am still feeling a bit in awe of the enormity of its possibilities. At the same time, I feel a little disappointed that I have not been able to do more. Most importantly, however, I am extremely grateful for all that I have been able to accomplish so far, and for the joy that working on this project continues to bring to me. One of the challenges that I have faced in the ongoing development of this site is trying to figure out the most effective way to publish the enormous body of work that I have created over the years. Consequently, one of my next big projects will be the assembly of a 'NovaTech Library.' Once I get all of my materials pulled together, organized and converted into Acrobat format (pdf), it will become a rather straight forward matter to simply post it here for downloading. In the midst of all of this, I am currently engaged in researching and developing a more straightforward approach to the matter of bodily healing through spiritual means. I refer to this process as the 'Science of Spiritual Healing.' I am not really sure how this will unfold, but I do know that the key ingredient is Love |

Message From Rev. Marcia |
Rev. Lloyd and I have been collaborating since 1990 and this site is the result of all our work together. Over the years, St. Paul's revelation, "Christ in us the hope of glory," has inspired me to explore, in the deepest possible ways, what it means to live in the awareness that this individualized Presence of God is active in each of our lives. When we embark upon the spiritual journey, we are called to establish a relationship with this inner Presence. Only then do we begin to receive the many 'fruits' of God which have been promised to us in the Holy Scriptures. This web site is devoted to providing you with numerous opportunities, practices and tools that will enhance your relationship with your own true self, the Christ in you. I'm grateful for all that we share together on this journey. Finally, I lovingly 'stand witness' for you and pray that you are blessed and prospered within the One Life of God in which we live, breath, move and have our being. |
