Unconditional Love is powerfully committed to a Wholly Holy Revolutionary Act that exudes grace, compassion, and boldness. SOM&S is a R-Evolutionary (Radical Evolutionary) teaching that positions us at the leading edge of global transformation and those who engage it at that level walk the walk by balancing Love and Law. “We see a world that works for everyone, where we are called to conscious social action.” “But faith without works is dead. We should not only pray, we should act, each contributing the best he has to the common purpose, each willing to make any sacrifice necessary—not a sacrifice reluctantly made, but as one who offers all he has for two great purposes—one, in a certain sense, a selfish one, for we all desire self-preservation, but the other in the greater sense that there can be no individual self-preservation without the preservation of all . . . For if the whole nation works together and prays together, a great moral and spiritual power, an actual soul force, will penetrate the whole world, helping to bring confidence and calm judgment and right action until the crisis shall have passed. Freedom need never be ashamed of itself, nor liberty bow to despair. God is always on the side of right and faith will always conquer fear.” - Ernest Holmes Revolution is defined as “a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something: a change of paradigm.” Revolutions in consciousness bring change not only to ourselves, but the systems and institutions that shape the experiences of us all. Revolutionary Love invites us into a way of being, a way of thinking, a way of feeling and a way of acting that is rooted in our love for one another. It is in this rising up of our consciousness that we rise up in revolutionary love for ourselves, for each other, and for the wholeness of Life Itself. Revolutionary Love, then, is when we bring the SOM philosophy of co-creation and revolutionary leaps in consciousness together with the SOM theology of Oneness and interconnectedness and the natural LOVE that comes with that. Revolutionary Love is bringing collective change through our love for one another. It is bold in that it asks us to act on behalf of ourselves, of those we love, and even those we have not yet learned how to love. This revolutionary love is the great work of our lives, and that same work brings us into that state of LOVE, which is a direct experience of the Divine. Every time we act through this revolutionary love, every time we are moved to love ourselves enough to say “enough is enough,” every time we love another enough to fiercely protect them, to fight for their dignity, to come into a deeper relationship with their struggles and their pain, and every time we allow this same love to bring us into a state of true wonder and curiosity with those we have made an enemy, we are in a state of Love, we are at one with the Divine.

If the etymology of adventure includes occurrence, risk, event, and chance, we are invited to look at where we are allowing this One Life to show up, where are we taking holy risks to evolve, how often are we taking chances (opportunities) to let our Spiritual Magnificence be our experience. We see a world in which each and every person lives in alignment with his/her highest spiritual principle, emphasizing unity with God and connection with each other; a world in which individually and collectively we are called to a higher state of consciousness and action. The physical universe is the manifest body of The One Infinite Reality, and the One Infinite Reality is more than the physical universe. Creation is an expression of the One Infinite Reality. It is inherently Good and is ever-evolving toward greater expression of Good. The word adventure has come to be associated with risk; however, the Latin root advenire, means to arrive. This fits perfectly with leading-edge science and Ernest Holmes’ radio show (1950’s) titled Self-Reliance and Your Adventure, wherein he proclaims, “God is our adventure.” This journey involves an expanded awareness that in Life there is no risk, no failure, no uncertainty. With an awareness of Oneness, faith, and our active participation, the spiritual adventure unfolds through The Divine Urge that is inherently and eternally calling us into our greater yet-to-be! 1. Where’s the risk? If there’s only One Thing happening, Intelligence coming into form – One Creative Intelligent Source & Substance found in everything – then we are Wholly holy, because it comes into form by means of us! So, what’s to fear? Where’s the risk? Science today shows, the universe responds to us, how we think and feel. We are creating our experience of Life. Often, we hold back from new experiences because we fear failure; but truly the biggest risk (if there is one at all) is in not opening to our Infinite Possibilities. Find God. That’s the adventure! Arriving at our Oneness through Conscious Participation. Since before the Vedic sages proclaimed, “I am the universe” and Ernest Holmes wrote our Declaration of Principles, the universe has been creatively and intelligently evolving. The process is now one of human alignment, receptivity, and participation. The physical universe (includes you & I) is the One Infinite Reality and It’s ever-evolving into a greater expression. Within this awareness, we can engage, experience, step up and out, with a sense of dedication and consecrated as a Divine Expression! Investigate ways you hold yourself back from Life. Uncover your fears. Are you afraid of failure? Afraid to appear ridiculous or foolish to others? Reorient yourself to your divine heritage. Become aware of your desires and when you find yourself constricting? Spend time in silence and listen. This is the adventure of the day! Then step out and up to your Spiritual Magnificence, reconciling the Divine Unfoldment (evolution) with your own enthusiastic participation. When we do this work in community, we magnify the effects. Let us begin now.

“We must be willing to let go of the life we had planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell. We gratefully step out of what has been, and confidently step up and into our greatness, excited to blaze a new trail of spiritual awareness. What have we learned thus far on our life’s journey and what gifts are we bringing to the new leg of our journey? What will we share with those who travel with us? We envision humanity awakening to its spiritual magnificence and discovering the creative power of thought; a world where every person discovers their own personal power and ability to create an individual life that works within a world that works for everyone. Spiritual Principles Creative Process: The one Infinite Reality operates through the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. This Universal Law is impersonal, automatic, and intelligent. The Universal Law receives the direct impress of Spirit’s impulse and acts upon it, bringing it into form. Individuals, having the same threefold nature, use the Creative Process to shape our human experience in alignment with the whole, perfect, and complete Reality. Freedom: Freedom is the birthright of every individual. We are free to choose and create our experience of life. We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.

Every new journey we choose to embark on is filled with excitement and anticipation, and there may also be feelings of hesitation. This paradoxical state could be called a “bless-itation” a combination of blessings and hesitations. As we travel along, we discover the blessings and our hesitations on our new path. Additionally, we have the opportunity to recognize the power of blessing whatever is before us and/or triggering us, greeting it with curiosity. What gifts are discovered during moments of bless-itation? Evolutionary Vision: We envision humanity awakening to its spiritual magnificence and discovering the creative power of thought; a world where every person discovers his/her own personal power and ability to create an individual life that works within a world that works for everyone. “What we believe:” WE BELIEVE in the individualization of the Spirit in us, and that all people are individualizations of the One Spirit. WE BELIEVE in the direct revelation of truth through our intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God. Oneness (when we hesitate or experience hesitation on our path, it is symptomatic of embracing separation, we need only to realign and re-member the core concept that oneness is our nature and life’s nature)
