Power of the Mind to Create and Manifest
Whether we realize it or not, our thoughts create our reality and manifest outcomes in our physical existence. Our mind has two levels – the conscious or rational level and the subconscious or irrational level. You think with your conscious mind and what you habitually think, sends messages to the subconscious mind, which creates according to your thoughts. The subconscious is subject to the conscious mind. All of your emotionalized thoughts, hopes and desires seeds your subconscious. Your subconscious does not work towards proving whether your thoughts are right or wrong, good or bad, dull or productive, the subconscious obediently responds to the nature of your conscious thoughts and suggestions. Having a better understanding of how the conscious and subconscious mind works, will enable you to transform your life. You can then create success with all your goals and endeavours...

Reflections from our Minister – Rev David Finlay
In his book ‘Ancient Teachings for Beginners’ published in 2003 the author Douglas De Long states as part of the introduction in the context of evolving that ‘people are awakening and becoming more spiritual’. In stumbling across this statement it reinforced what was already in my mind as the topic for this article. I was inspired a few days earlier to write this passage about my own journey of spiritual awakening with particular emphasis on the role COSE has played in this evolution. My active awakening process commenced in the early to mid-1990’s long before I had heard of spiritualism and spiritualist churches when I was drawn to and became involved in a private development group with a particular focus on crystal enhanced spiritual healing and it was with this group that I witnessed many amazing occurrences. One can only speculate...

The Benefits of Meditation
When the founders of COSE chose the name: “Church Of Spiritual Enlightenment”, this reflected the purpose for which it was established, and that was to provide a Sanctuary which would bring guidance and healing for those who sought to understand their spiritual nature and their own divine essence. A Sanctuary which would guide people on their Path of Spiritual Unfoldment. The journey towards “Enlightenment” is a personal unfoldment. Although an individual may have access to wise teachings, techniques and spiritual disciplines, it is actually the journey Inwards that guides One to be attuned with the Divine Indweller and Christ Within. Spiritual teachers are Way Show-ers, but only the Individual can come into their own Divine Presence and Oneness with the Divine Indweller. The teachings of Jesus guided the people to the God Within. Many these days still seek God outside of...

WHAT’S IN STORE – YEAR 2019 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
Year 2019 = 2+0+1+9 = 12 = Hanged Man The Hanged Man Year brings a need to release things from your past, letting go of old patterns and relationships. It can be a painful journey, however in the end quite liberating. There will be times when you feel quite powerless and learn that you cannot control everything. Patience and humility are the keys to getting through the year. What sacrifices need to be made to move forward? I have pondered on how to best explain the process of the Hanged Man Year and I feel it is also important to refer to Judgement (20) and the Sun (19). Retreat within is probably the best thing to do. Look deeper into thought and actions and be aware of how you will use your own personal power. What you do to others generally...

Listening to the voice of wisdom within
In this day and age, most people have a tendency to rely on their analytical mind to discern life choices and for directing their life path towards positive outcomes. It’s easy to forget that we all have the gift of intuition, which is always present and is always available to guide us in every aspect of our life. Intuition is our inner Knowing. Not the knowledge which is derived from books, lessons and information, but the sense of inner knowing within ourselves. Albert Einstein, one of history’s greatest scientists, termed the intuitive mind as “a sacred gift” and the rational mind as a “faithful servant”. Einstein also acknowledged that “we have created a society that honours the servant and forgotten the gift”. Intuition, is not exclusively used and developed as a spiritual teaching in spiritual environments. It is now widely understood...

Reflections from our Minister – December 2018
Have you on occasions as you have journeyed through life encountered someone even from a distance that you feel an immediate connection with or feel drawn to them, not necessarily because of their physical attributes but on an unexplainable deeper emotional level? You feel magnetically drawn to them. On closer contact you feel as though you’ve known them for your entire life. You want to embrace them and hold that embrace forever because it feels so good and it feels so right and when you make eye contact it is deep and engaging. Why is this so? As individuals we come from the realms of Spirit as we incarnate into this lifetime and on death of our earthly body we return to the world of spirit in an ongoing cycle. Just as in this lifetime we have our family and friends...
