From Thought to Thing- Our First Birthday-Rev. Paul Gonyea & Rev. David Barrett

Many teachers have told us (Dr. Holmes included) that everything starts out as an idea. They tell us that, but it's actually not quite true. The reality is, everything starts out as God. Then it goes through the process of expressing God, and ends up being God in some physical form. That is the spiritual explanation of the creative process...from "the nothing that is everything" to "the something that is just part of everything." Energy to form, spirit to body, idea to thing. That's how this Center started, and that is why it continues to grow and thrive today. We aren't confused about what has been created. We know exactly what has happened over the past year. We aren't "buying a building," or "growing a congregation"; we're nurturing an idea. We're practicing Principle in everything we do, learning together how Life supports us as we live in accordance with the Laws of our being.
