Third Quarter 2026, DSU Newsletter

DSU E-Newsletter

We have been very busy this quarter and summer has been in full swing for all.  We have survived (most) of the Summer and soon (but not soon enough!)  Fall activities will be upon us.  Our Summer Solstice event is scheduled for September19th which is just before the solstice on the 21st.  Check our DSU site for specific schedules and times.  Do plan on coming for a visit and enjoy a FUN, enlightening, and quiet country day.

This Quarter’s Newsletter is FULL of new things to learn about and many things to consider.  From the role of water in our health, to maintaining balance in a chaotic world, to cosmic energetic... there is much new to learn.  And our Ancient Wisdom study series has been looking at one, if not the oldest written religion in the world, Zoroastrianism.  

While we have not been investigating the religion of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), we have been sharing his writings, The Gathas.  While its original language may be a “dead language” scholars have been able to bring us a suitable translation/interpretation to share.  Read about Good Mind, the history surrounding Zoroastrianism, and living by “good thoughts, good words, and good deeds” go make your life more promising.  You will learn something if you dig.

There are other articles as well.  We invite you to participate in our DSU weekly meetings on Wednesday at 5 PM. Here is the link:  DSU Weekly Meetings     

DSU Meeting, August 26, 2026

Divine Science University held a meeting August 27, 2026, gathering at 4:50 and opening at 5:00 PM with the invitation song Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.  Opening activities then followed with reviewing our mission statement, opening intention and a relaxing breathing exercise.

At 5:07 PM John presented a presentation on Negative Instincts. Discussion included the concepts that negative instincts are one of the 10 cognitive instincts that systematically distort how people perceive the world.  Human tendency is to give greater weight to negative events, news or information than to neutral or positive ones.  Evolutionarily, those who paid more attention to dangers survived better.  It  is what makes us over focus on the bad or undesired instincts.  The take away it to attempt to return to basic evolution to make negative instincts become, rather, a healthy fear.

At 5:29 PM Jackie presented “Rising Above Negativity” which can be found at this link.

DSU Meeting, August 12, 2026

At 5:07 PM Chris from SOW Presented A Millennium of Wisdom – Gatha 1

His “take away” was Doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, with the right manner and means, leads to positive growth and to generally better outcomes in life.  

Choosing chaos, self-preservation, greed and the like, generally leads to a "poor outcome."  

Much as a gardener, provide as much light as you can to your crops and your crops will grow, water them with Spirit and they will be nurtured. It is ALL for learning, so above ALL – LEARN AND IMPROVE!    One of our chief objectives at DSU.
