“Every desire you have for betterment in life is some echo
from deep within which forever proclaims, ‘Behold, I make all things new.”
— Ernest Holmes, “This Thing Called You”
CSL Global Vision Focus: We envision humanity awakening to its spiritual magnificence and discovering the creative power of thought — a world where every person discovers their power and ability to create an individual life that works within a world that works for everyone.
We are called to awaken to our spiritual magnificence, recognizing our true essence. We remember that we are much more than our bodies, names, stories or circumstances. We return to the understanding that each person is a perfect expression of Source. There is a collective remembering when we open ourselves to creativity and notice the beauty and abundance around us, the sunlight on leaves, a poem’s rhythm and a heartfelt conversation. We recall the truth of our essence, our being.
We believe this is the truth for others, especially when love is at the core. Everything is energy. When we attune ourselves, we begin to perceive that divine essence in the people around us. It is a deep inner recognition. Signs of this awakening are evident everywhere. More people seek authentic community, explore spiritual practices and expand their awareness beyond traditional boundaries. We are witnessing a rise in interfaith dialogue, mindfulness in schools, global activism rooted in love, and media that inspires unity and healing.
Our thoughts are always creating form, whether consciously or unconsciously. That’s why awareness is so vital: Our thinking shapes reality at every level. As Holmes reminds us, “Change your thinking, change your life.” By becoming conscious of our own thought patterns, we open the door to skillfully shifting them, and from that place of inner truth, meaningful action naturally arises.
Our perception of the external world is a direct reflection of our inner state. Through the universal law of cause and effect, what we persistently think, believe and feel becomes our lived experience. When someone operates from their divine center, there’s a profound sense of peace, and that peace radiates outward, inviting others to discover their own center. It’s leadership born not of perfection, but of presence and aligned being.
But we don’t live in isolation. Our individual mental energies merge with others and form what’s called “the collective consciousness”: a shared field of beliefs, values and intentions that shapes our social reality. Thoughts held with clarity and emotional focus can become powerful, self-sustaining thought-forms, energetic objects that influence collective outcomes.
When we ground ourselves in clarity, alignment and conscious intention, we do more than transform our own lives — we contribute to raising the collective vibration. By embodying presence, we model a life aligned with magnificence, not through striving for perfection, but by choosing authenticity, coherence and alignment with what’s unseen and higher.
As a global organization, we hold a vision for a world that works for everyone. This vision lives and grows in our communities through our conversations and everyday actions. We are spiritual stewards creating space for consciousness to expand, one heart at a time. Each community and individual has a unique path to follow, as Spirit calls us to awaken, expand our awareness, honor our fundamental oneness and live in alignment with our higher truth. Whether we are stirred by political unrest, moved by the cries of an ailing planet or shaken by reckonings with systemic injustice, that call remains to awaken, align and act.
Stand awake in your spiritual truth. Let that truth awaken in every heart. Then act, not as separate souls, but as one vessel of divine unity.
