Dear Light Group,
During the Last Supper, the Apostle Thomas asked a question many of us at one point may have asked, “How can we know the way?” In a time as divisive and threatening as the one we currently are living through, Thomas’s question still has relevance. How can we know the way through the morass we currently find ourselves in?
Jesus’s answer to Thomas’s question also has relevance to our current situation: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” The Way is the Way of the Christ. The Truth is that of the Christ. The Life is that of the Christ.
If we start with the Life, then we are reminded that our destiny is to rise to a Christ-like life. In Jesus there was no trace of enslavement to desires, anger, or vengefulness. Instead, he showed us The Way of humility, purity, love, and joy. He displayed truthfulness, forgiveness, and - even in the midst of the most harrowing of circumstances - calmness. He had relinquished fear, worldliness, and egotistical living by depending completely on the all-protecting power and love of God.
The Way, the Truth, and the Life for all of us is to remember our purpose in life, which is to consciously exist in Oneness with Spirit…and then help bring others back to the Divine. Each of us was created as a soul that would uniquely manifest a special attribute of the Divine. The more we tune into that special attribute, the more we are able to shepherd others to an ever greater harmony. Service to God’s manifestations is the essence of all divinely-inspired laws of human conduct.
In the same Last Supper discussion where Thomas asked “How can we know the way?", Jesus gave us encouragement when he said, “Ask anything in my name, and I will do it.” God answers every sincere prayer and blesses every spiritual aspiration and endeavor.
In that spirit, you might want to try this prayer: “The Christ is here now. The Way, the Truth, and the Life of the Christ is here now. That Christ Spirit is in me now. This Christ Spirit is pure, whole, complete. This Christ Spirit is a blazing Light. This blazing Light is in me and in everyone and everything. I hold to this Light as the essence of my being. I command this Light to radiate for the wellbeing of everyone. I command this Light to radiate for the wellbeing of all of nature’s kingdoms. I command this Light to radiate for the wellbeing of planet Earth. I command this Light to radiate for the wellbeing of all creation. Thank you, God, for making it so. Thank you, God, for answering our prayers and for showing us The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Thank you, God, for this oneness with Thee. Amen.”
Love and Light,
Tully

Imagine a special haven of love and light, of prayer and transformation, of rest and re-invigoration.
Imagine a place of prayer and meditation, leading to transformation.
Imagine restoring and healing your soul, and discovering your true nature, your Higher Self.
Imagine Meditation Trails through forests, by a pond, along a river.....and actually sitting on a boulder in the river.....and finding your very soul healed and restored by nature.
Imagine walking a Labyrinth, very very slowly..... surrounded by nature and beauty. Imagine going ever deeper into your heart as you traverse the Labyrinth moving slowly into the center .....as you move into your own personal Center..... your HEART.....where all is Love and Light.
Imagine sitting in a circular room beneath colored lights, listening to calming music, as your entire body relaxes and your mind finds rest and calmness.
Imagine sitting quietly in a geodesic Prayer Dome....a dome where people have prayed and meditated for 40 years....... and imagine that this Prayer Dome is open 24 hours a day for prayers for personal and planetary transformation.
Imagine visiting for a day..... or for longer; imagine spending a night or two in a 70 year old Lodge while on a personal spiritual retreat.
Such a place exists.
It exists on a mountain just south of Black Mountain North Carolina and only 45 minutes from Asheville North Carolina.
The Light Center was founded almost 50 years ago to provide a place for prayer, meditation, and connecting with the Divine. It continues to be a beacon of Light and Love to the world and to all who visit. It continues to be a place of personal and planetary transformation. It continues to welcome all who visit.....all who seek....all who celebrate...... all who with to deepen their spiritual existence and connect more deeply with nature, with their True Selves.....and with The Divine (or The Great Spirit, or The Source, or The Universe,or God , or Goddess....)
The central point of our center is a geodesic prayer dome which is open 24 hours a day , every day of the year for prayer and meditation. Occasionally we present programs and events in the dome. The Prayer Dome is on the 2nd floor of our Visitors Center. On the first floor you’ll find our bookstore and art gallery and a unique “Light Room” where visitors sit for a half hour under changing colored lights while relaxing to calm and peaceful music. (For many, the Light Room, is a place to enhance and align the “chakras” or energy centers of the body).
On our grounds are Meditation Trails, a Meditation Pond, and a Labyrinth.
Our Light Center Lodge, provides overnight accommodations for individuals and groups on spiritual retreats.
The Light Center depends on a group of volunteers who are dedicated to helping all people expand awareness of their inner Light and to pray more effectively.
The Light Center is operated by a non-profit called United Research whose sole purpose is to operate the Light Center and Lodge and thereby supportive environment for encouraging personal and planetary transformation through prayer.
