Friday, October 10, 2014 7:30 – 9:30 pm DREAMS, WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?  Most of the time the dream ego ("me") in the dream is so much like our waking sense of self that we don't notice the difference. I'll talk about the way our conscious mind and our unconscious interact in the creation of our narratives of remembered dreams. Saturday, October 11, 2014 9:00 am to 5:00 pm SEEING MORE DEEPLY INTO THE EMOTIONALLY NARRATIVES OF DREAMS There is no more reason to take the emotions in a dream literally than there is to take any other element of the dream literally, but emotions are powerful and it’s hard to hang onto this idea. We’ll explore the symbolic quality of emotions and discover ways to see more deeply into the emotional narratives of dreams.

The philosophy of education in Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL) is to present

Science of Mind as an exciting, contemporary educational model through which learners fully experience the spiritual reality of their being. This model recognizes that all aspects of life are spiritual, as the curriculum infuses the intellectual, emotional, and physical

aspects of contemporary living. The educational program of CSL offers people of all ages the opportunity to realize the Presence of God, to discover their inherent creative power, and to experience the Presence and Power in their daily lives.

A student may pursue Certificated Courses of Study either for personal growth or in preparation to become a Professional Practitioner or Minister in CSL.

You continue to study courses that offer both spiritual practice and insight into meditation, spiritual visioning, and affirmative prayer. As you advance along the path, there are courses that explore different spiritual teachers and writers from across the ages, as well as contemporary writers and teachers. CSL offers a wide variety of courses that are sure to facilitate healing, opening, deepening, and greater understanding of your spiritual nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson – Natural Abundance This four week class explores Dr. Ruth Miller's essential essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson that tell us how the world always responds to our thoughts, words, and actions, and what we can do to ensure

that our life is truly joy-filled in all aspects. In clear, simple language, she gives us a direct sense of what Emerson felt, saw, and struggled to share with his fellow human beings.

Emerson transcended the limitations of his day. Using common sense, a love of nature, and his own particular genius, he expressed a higher truth about who we are and how the world gives us exactly what we demand from it. Natural Abundance makes the hidden treasures of Emerson’s

wisdom accessible to 21st century readers. Through it, this great man’s alignment of his heart’s knowing and his intellect’s understanding can lead all of us to a more abundantly fulfilling life, today.
