What is the Fellowship of the Inner Light?

February 2012

February 5

Dr. Vernon Sylvest Dr. Vernon Sylvest suffered four and a half years with an extremely painful inflammatory disease for which he has a genetic marker. The disease was considered incurable. It was not controlled by medication.

After Dr. Sylvest reached the point of suicidal depression, he finally surrendered and sought another way—a spiritual way. Within nine months of his surrender, he was completely well and returned to a happy life. The change was so dramatic that his first wife did not believe at first that it was he. She wondered if he were a "walk-in."

His spiritual search continued, leading to a change in his professional life. He added holistic primary care medicine and spiritual teaching to his practice in pathology. His transformation was recognized by many to be similar to that observed in those who had had a Near-Death Experience.

Dr. Sylvest's first book, "The Formula; Who Gets Sick; Who Gets Well; Who is Unhappy; Who is Happy, and Why," describing his experience, was published in 1996 and has gone through three printings. His second book, "The End of Fear; The Path to Freedom with The Formula," should be available in time for this Sunday Service. Dr. Sylvest's first book-signing is planned for 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., Friday, February 3 in the Folio Room of the Virginia Beach Public Library, 4100 Virginia Beach Blvd.

When you follow your bliss, and by bliss I mean the deep sense of being in it and doing what the push is out of your own existence, you follow that, and doors will open where you would not  have thought there would be doors—and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else. 

Joseph Campbell



What is the Fellowship of the Inner Light?

"...The collective of all of those in whom the Light within has been awakened and who, because of that awakening, have fellowship with one another... those who actually, in practice, extend mutual support, fellowship, assistance, interaction, a strong and interdependent network between one another based upon the experience of the Light within."

Joy In Worship begins at 10:45 a.m.
There is a pre-service Seven Terrace Meditation at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. Please be thoughtful of those meditating and enter quietly during this time.

Audio Tapes and CDs are available for $5.00. If you are not local, there is a shipping and handling charge.

Let your life speak!

Have you been thinking about hosting an event or holding a class but your home is too small? Consider renting one of the rooms here at the Center.
