Unity Welcomes A Course in Miracles Teacher and Author Dr. Bob Rosenthal

Author and “A Course in Miracles” teacher Dr. Robert Rosenthal will deliver the Sunday message “Defense and Attack: The Ego’s Daily Bread” at Unity Spiritual Center on Sunday, December 7, at 10:00 a.m., followed by a book-signing and a workshop. We have all known bondage in one form or another, we have all suffered plagues, and we all want to be free. In this sense, the Biblical book of Exodus is not just the story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt 3000 years ago … it is very much our story too, an inner struggle played out every day in our own hearts and minds. Join author Dr.  Rosenthal, as he shares his afternoon workshop “The Exodus Path of Miracles” from noon until 2:30 p.m. Cost: $35 per person advance registration and payment by December 2nd, $50 at the door. Lunch and cookies will be available for purchase.

Dr. Robert Rosenthal is the author of From Plagues to Miracles: The Transformational Journey of Exodus, From the Slavery of Ego to the Promised Land of Spirit (Hay House, 2012), a fresh new look at the Moses-Pharaoh story as a parable of the spiritual journey back to God. Dr. Rosenthal is also a practicing, board-certified psychiatrist and has served on the board of the Foundation for Inner Peace, publisher of the Course, for over 20 years. His regular monthly talks can be found at FromPlaguesToMiracles.com.

Location: 453 Bellwood Ave, Asbury, NJ 08802. To register, contact 908-730-8792 or [email protected]. UnitySpiritualCenter.org.

A Course in Miracles Bob Rosenthal News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
