Celeste shares her journey into becoming a mystic and moving into ministry. She starts out by defining First Cause as the Cause of all Things and the Uncreated, from which all things spring. She pulls the defintions from the Science of Mind textbook (https://www.amazon.com/Science-Mind-Complete-Ernest-Holmes/dp/1585428426) and Rev. Celeste asks us to look beyond the words, "God said" in Genesis to know the intention was the voice and not necessarily an audible voice. (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1&version=TLB)
Rev. Celeste uses this creation story as a reference to our human creative processes that we use in order to become, acquire, attract what we want in and for our lives. We take the steps necessary to become what we seek to have, but it starts with an intention to create.
She references her writings and her bodies of work as being inspired from this First Cause.
She recalls her aspirations in the entertainment industry and the steps she took to fulfill that intention. And Rev. Celeste explains that she let the call to ministry be suppressed after thinking about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (https://thekingcenter.org/about-dr-king/) and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Rev. Celeste shares her "dream" where she got in touch with her soul while she was studying at the Agape International Spiritual Center (agapelive.com) when she discovered she was using the Mind of God.
She mentions those who held the light for her spiritual journey including Joan Steadman (www.linkedin.com/in/joan-steadman-37466697), Michael Bernard Beckwith (https://michaelbeckwith.com/), and Nirvana Gayle (https://www.patheos.com/blogs/theprinciplesofspiritualliving/author/nirvanagayle/), and studying New Thought pioneers such as Ernest Holmes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Holmes) and Ralph Waldo Emerson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson).
Preparing a tribute to her grandmother, she was exposed to multiple dimensions that heightened her intuition. There was no denying it - she is a minister.
Rev. Celeste founded the Power of Oneness Spiritual Center (https://www.pr.com/press-release/437597), was the senior minister at the DuPage Center for Spiritual Living (https://www.yelp.com/biz/dupage-center-for-spiritual-living-lisle) and while promoting her book, Divine Work Play (https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Work-Play-Practicing-Presence/dp/1547197358), her journey led her to the East Bay Church of Religious Science (ebcrs.org) where she became the pastor until Spring 2020.
Spending more time in the being, she is balanced and enjoying being present.
She gives thanks to her mother, Hallie A. Frazier, who is 89 years old today and her father, Freddie Frazier, Jr. who is now in the invisible. She appreciates their support of her ministry.
Celeste discusses First Cause, the law and cause and effect. The First Cause is beyond gender and it is both masculine and feminine. Cause is the driving force. Receptivity (Law) allows for effect to come into being.
