Underlying everything that is taught and practiced at the Centers of Light are the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. We strive to become what they are and what they exemplified in their lives on earth, and believe that is what they want us to be doing. One can't ignore one's wounding and personal issues, pretending they are not there, and still grow into spiritual clarity and Light. We therefore help each student address the sources of their fear, anger and pain, helping bring those sources to consciousness. Then we help the students release those sorrows through forgiveness and healing. When one releases all negativity and continues to grow in the Light and Love of God, one can become a vessel for Good and a beacon of Light that brings hope and healing to many. This is a possibility for each human being.

Our aim is to grow in consciousness and in love for God and other people. Union with God and selfless service to God and humans is the goal. This is what Jesus taught, what we believe, and what we practice and teach. Since spiritual growth cannot flourish in isolation, we also need to learn to relate to others as well as to God in positive and healthy ways. These are best learned through spiritual community and through having a spiritual teacher who can guide a person according to his or her individual needs and desire for growth. As people accept help, they can grow in integrity, love, light and inner peace. They can become whole, as God meant us to be.
