CSL Bakersfield has a Vision Core for the sole purpose of Visioning for our spiritual community and its unfoldment. The members of the Vision Core are selected from those who have completed the 8-week certificated class on Visioning, so that our Vision Core is comprised of members who have a deep understanding of what Visioning is and its benefits. This Core is a part of the Leadership of our Center and plays an important role in bringing to light God’s Vision for us.

What is Visioning

“There is a Sacred Calling within you beyond time and space, forever hounding you to be more. Yield to it.”
Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith

VISIONING A Spiritual Practice…A Way of Life

Visualization is a technique whereby you mentally picture what you desire to have or do. It operates through the Law of Attraction, supported by personal will and the power of concentration. Its effectiveness varies with the skill of the individual. It is limited by what we can imagine as our highest possibility.

Visioning is the practice of opening to God as you. It is “catching” the Divine idea for your possibilities. It allows you to transcend limited thinking, to align with Divine Wisdom. Visioning is a form of co-creation to expand life’s potential. It is the natural outgrowth of maturing in God consciousness. Visioning is always about becoming, not about doing—about the “What,” not the “How.”

The difference between Visualization and Visioning is the difference between directing Spirit to have our way and allowing Spirit to have Its way.

The above was taken from the Visioning curriculum of the Department of Education, United Centers for Spiritual Living Student Workbook.
