"The Bible, Unity's
Cornerstone"

February, 2010

By Rev. Julie Johnson, Ph.D., Minister of Unity Carlsbad.

The Bible is Unity’s basic text book because from Adam’s unenlightened human consciousness to Jesus enlightened Christ Consciousness, the Bible
is the story of our own, spiritual growth and personal unfoldment. That makes it the ultimate how-to manual of our own life-journey.

At the very beginning, in the first book of Genesis it says, “God said Let there be light, and there was light." That verse sets the tone for the entire Bible because in order to discover the deeper meanings in each story of the Bible, we have to bring some light to them.

And the way we bring light to them is by interpreting the Bible Metaphysically. The word "Metaphysical" comes from two Greek words:
"meta," meaning beyond or over, and "physika" meaning physics. Since the word Metaphysical means beyond the physical, every character and circumstance in every story, allegory or parable and in the drama called the Book of Job, represents a state of consciousness in us.

Anton Mizerak and Michael Mandrell
In an Evening of Healing Music

Mount Shasta keyboardist, harmonica and tabla player Anton Mizerak and Celtic guitarist Michael Mandrell will present an evening of Mount Shasta transformational healing music on Thursday, February 25 at 7PM.

Michael Mandrell is known for his transcendent guitar playing. His latest CD "Notes from Celtistan" has been featured on Public Radio International's Echoes with host John Diliberto. Michael Mandrell's blend of Celtic, Jazz and New Age music demonstrates just what a 6 and 12 string guitar can do in the hands of a real master. Touring with many fine acoustic ensembles as well as solo, Michael has shared the stage with such musical luminaries as Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Jenny Bird, Spyro Gyra, William Ackerman, and Shadowfax.

Anton Mizerak lives in Mount Shasta and writes his music in nature, believing that our organic experience of sun, wind, water, snow and earth, transmitted through music, can be a valuable nurturing and healing experience. Anton plays keyboards and harmonica. His music has been featured on the nationally syndicated music shows "Echoes" and "Soundscapes". His latest CD series "When Angels Dream"has been a top seller with healers and massage therapists. Many people have seen Anton and Michael at New Thought Churches, symposiums, Asilomar and Unity Village gatherings and other retreats over the past ten years. The concert will feature Michael's amazing guitar playing accompanied by Anton on tabla and harmonica along with Anton's original music and chants from around the world. Love offering.
