Dear Light Group,

Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well, “God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

What exactly does that mean? What is “spirit”? What is “truth”?

One thing it implies is what God is not. God is not some white-haired man with a beard and a scepter in one hand to bless us if we’ve been good and a sword in the other hand to whack us if we’ve been bad. Instead, God is “spirit and truth.”

What Jesus said could imply that God is both personal and impersonal. God is impersonal in the sense that "spirit and truth” are there for everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done, if you worship God in spirit and truth, you have made a connection with the Divine. But God is also personal: this personal God can be appealed to in prayer and will respond to all sincere prayers that have a loving intention.

Our objective is to be so centered in the spirit and truth of the Divine that our whole being becomes that spirit and truth and we manifest that spirit and truth at all times and in all places for the uplifting of everyone and everything.

What gets in the way of our doing that? Allowing ourselves to join the mass hypnosis that is tied to the physical senses, to personal identity, to fretting over personal and global troubles.

Instead of allowing an outflowing of our consciousness, we need to turn our consciousness inward toward Spirit. In communion with Spirit, we align our will, thoughts, actions, and entire life with God’s Word and Truth.

If you would like a prayer to accelerate that alignment, you might try this: “Keep me focused on Thee, O Lord, and Thy Spirit and Truth. Help me to hear Thy sound in my heart. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill my entire body. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may touch the hearts of others with Thy Spirit and Truth. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill and surround my home. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill and surround the city in which I live. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill and surround our nation. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill and surround all nations and all peoples. Amplify Thy sound in my heart, that it may fill and surround planet Earth. Thank you, Lord, for blessing this planet and everyone and everything on this planet with Thy Spirit and Thy Truth. Thank you, Lord, for making it so. Amen.”

Love and Light,
Tully

Prayer for Effective Living, Saturday, 4.18.26

Pondering the Australian aborigine adage:
“The more you know, the less you need.”
I realize some who are on our societal fringes
may be carrying out the Greater Works.
Again, I release my judgments of others to Light.
We are One. One. One in our Creator.
Thank you, God, for my beloved world community.

Our Story

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.
