My Transformation Into Oneness
by Rev. Rita Scheibeck
The chatter that sometimes fills my mind is like a small patch of leaves that is easily blown away by a gentle summer breeze. When I focus on my breathing, I let outside disturbances float in and out of my consciousness: the neighbor's lawnmower, the gurgling of the ice maker, the delivery truck in the street.
As I allow the leaves of distraction to drift away, I make room in my awareness for the knowledge that I am One with All-That-Is. My realization of Oneness deepens…
Founder Musings: Love’s Gentleness and Openness
Message from our founder, Rev. Dr. Selwa
Hi, this is Barb Selwa, Co-Founder of ADL. With me is my guide, SD, a high Angel. He speaks through me.
Let’s emphasize Love’s gentleness and openness. When we change proceed with kindness and love, for example. And this should go with everyday life for you, kind and loving.
When a person is confronted with a negative approach, others in power must find out why this is happening? We must be kind at all time, no exceptions.

Who Wants to Say Grace?
by Rev. Rita Scheibeck
Sitting around a table, ready to eat a meal with family and friends, I have heard this question hundreds of times. This used to make me feel a little uncomfortable (and sometimes still does) because of the huge differences between my family's staunchly traditional religious practices and my own vastly diverse spiritual beliefs.

I can't help but notice that $60 of basic groceries now costs me $80 just over the past few months. And shipping on just about everything has risen to unprecedented levels.

ALL BEINGS ARE MADE OF LOVE
This is where we will start – All Beings Are Made of LOVE!
SD says TUK-BARB-human is my child and will always be, who has coaxed me many, many times because I have been in my current body for eons, and always will be. You see, as groups of intelligent beings opened door after door, extended life and the true activities of living come forth. They become super beings.
The deep knowledge of good begins and spreads into every u…

In-Person or Virtual Conference - What is Your Preference?
by Rev. Dr. Peg Gordon
Good Day and blessings to you all,
Some of us on the BOT would like to see an in-person Conference and others are concerned folks aren't ready to travel. I have had several ministers who are looking forward to the time we can get back together for our yearly conference. We would like to hear from you. What are your feelings, in-person or a zoom event?
