Michael, yesterday, my house mate, came to his first Sunday service at Unity in several years. He has been down the spiritual path a ways, but elegantly folded your beautiful message into his own field of awareness. Fantastic how the Sunday “channelings” are so universal in their poignancy. Thank you, thank you. I appreciate your intuitive insight, your playful intelligence, and the creative congruences that are patterned through your process. I also appreciate the incredible buoyancy of the expanding vista you embrace.

Thanks for the new, Unity complaint form/process. This is a powerful statement of living for the evolution of our divine nature. Thank you for putting this into a human process that is easily put into practice. The resistance will come from those whose identity remains with the victim self. Then they will have to decide who they want to be. Thank you for holding the space for all of us to walk in our god nature…and the reality of what healing miracles are. Our’s is a spiritual center where we learn the nature of what we are bringing into the world…and the power of choosing. God bless you. Thank you! Thank you!

Oh my God!!! How else can a person describe what you folks have done for Unity–inside and out. After the service today, there was such a buzz outside, as many of us congregated on the new benches laying against an amazing landscape. We all chatted for over an hour on various topics but mostly spoke of how good we all felt just being there…hanging out. But the greatest buzz came from us all feeling so amazed or blown away by the Sunday lecture. We were just reeling. I don’t know where it comes from but, my God, it is clear to me (and the many of us that were chatting) that Michael draws from a depth that most teachers can only dream of but he delivers it like a hot knife through soft butter. He makes it all seem so easy, simple, or whatever but says it in a way that conveys that we all know it, rather than as though he’s better than us and is teaching us over our head. His talk today on forgiveness might very well be the best lecture I’ve ever heard. I own a house here and stay for several months per year but I seriously need to consider staying on a bit longer.

I had a strange experience at Unity of Sedona today. During Michael’s talk on the Divine Mother I started seeing a very feminine image superimposed over him or something clearly that was female coming through him. At one point I thought it looked very much like Mary Magdalene and then another time I thought maybe it was Mother Mary. He also had a very bright blue light surrounding him at this point. I was not sure what I was seeing and what was even more strange was that as I happened to glance at his image in the large mirror against the side wall, I could clearly see the woman. She had long dark hair and smaller features. They were superimposed. So, as he bowed his head in prayer, she too bowed her head. But then there were moments when he would move his head again to speak, but her head would still remain in the last position for a moment until it would again superimpose itself. What an amazing experience this was and I feel blessed to have been a witness. Michael surely embodies what he teaches and is the most authentic person I know living and breathing a Christ life.

Just got home from Safeway after our church service. A gentleman recognized me from Unity and told me how much he & his wife love coming to Unity–wished they could live here so they could come more regularly. They visited when Michael first came and are now back for a few weeks. They love our services and are so impressed with how much our landscaping has changed. They enjoy Michael’s teaching and said “we hope you see how fortunate you are to have him”. I assured the gentleman we do. : )

After attending the recent community meeting, I have a new found respect for Michael. His honesty and candidness was refreshing and beautiful. I admire him tremendously. I ask that he continue to be fully who he is: Wonderful, Vibrant, funny, Genuine and an Awesome teacher. Like Archangel Michael, Michael Mirdad has helped me to cut away the things that do not serve my highest good. I also had a private session with him and look forward to another.

I’ve been attending Unity of Sedona for months now and am constantly amazed by the spirit of love that has been planted and is growing there. It’s like we’re using “Miracle” grow. Ha Ha! Anyway, I’ve been very impressed but there was something especially wonderful that I couldn’t put my finger on until now. I can see how Michael continuously tells us to “go to God…” He has tolds us over and over to go to God with our problems and to receive our blessings and our miracles. I love how Michael is there when we need to hear a great teacher but at the end of the day all he is really doing is teaching us to be closer to God. This is something that I think I’ve been missing in my life but I’ve also heard numerous people say that they feel Sedona too has been missing this for years.

Oh my gosh!!! I was at the church today…the grounds are amazing!!! Better than I have EVER seen it look in over 12 years of coming to this church (center). Also, I resonate more NOW with the people there than I ever have. I have a feeling of, “Finally!!!” I’ve been here waiting for you all.
–Sally

Michael…I just wanted again to say thank you. I went to Unity a couple of weeks ago and for some reason I thought that the service was at 10:30…so, I walked in “late” and just as I sat down you talked about “Do you underestimate the value and good that you bring to others.” The “light bulb” went off in my head…It was like I went there at that moment in time just to hear that one phrase…Anyway, the past couple of days I have been “negotiating” my salary at work. So, I said to them, “I hope that you are not underestimating the good and value that I will bring to you, the center, and the community.” Well, it got me another 10K per year…and with the opportunity for pay raises every 3 months depending on goals and performance. SO THANK YOU!!!

I was late arriving to the Easter Sunday Service this week and found that the only place to hear Michael Mirdad speak was from the walkway outside the chapel. The place was packed!!! Inside the church, the energy was buzzing from the amazing attendees and the “sermon” which was on Jesus and the deeper symbolism of the crucifixion and resurrection. I found myself slipping into a trance as I listened to Michael talk as if Jesus himself had materialized in the church among us. I felt what it must have been like for seekers to have traveled days to sit in a crowd of people barely able to hear Jesus speak and yet clinging to the hope that something would miraculously occur to bring healing, love, and understanding into their hearts and lives. I couldn’t hear every word Michael spoke but I found myself so moved by the sermon that I sat cross-legged on concrete for an hour and a half riveted by the message. Unity of Sedona is not like any other church I have ever known. I can’t wait to return to feel the healing that is occurring among its congregation and to learn more about the teachings of Jesus. I am in complete and total awe! Thank you!!!

My first time attending Unity of Sedona was Christmas Eve 2011; and I have been attending every Sunday, both services ever since. At my first attendance I was asked if I would like to Usher, as they were short one usher for that service. I pulled up my courage, inhaled a deep, centering breath and dove in. Since that day I’ve become a Chaplain, Treasurer for the Board of Trustees, and attend the “Awakening The Inner Christ Consciousness” course led by Unity’s Spiritual Leader, Michael Mirdad. Though my experience is probably not a typical one in its breadth of “duties” I can say, with complete confidence that the Love, Support, and Spiritual Guidance I’ve received is not unique to my experiences. This is truly a loving and caring congregation of truly fun and blessed Spiritual Beings.

I attended last Sunday…it was beautiful. Michael’s words are extremely powerful; they cut right through the walls of pretenses and get to the matter of facts. I love his dedication and level of enlightenment. His words touch my soul and speak to me in mysterious ways. I am so grateful. This is tearing down the walls I have built to keep others from hurting me again. What a great teacher.
–R.O.

I’m so excited over the changes, wonderful attendance, smiling faces, the level of loving energy, and the laughter throughout the message on Sunday and afterwards. Good for you all in the many efforts and such a showing of caring and kindness for the community and grounds. Awesome! I again visit as often as possible from Scottsdale. It is so worth the two hour+ drive to be amongst the energy and hear Michael’s words of wisdom.  Thank you!

It took me a few visits to Unity of Sedona to figure out exactly what it was/is that seems so powerful there. Was it the messages, the beauty of the people, or being surrounded by the red rocks of Sedona? Then it occurred to me that I feel like I am sitting in a piece of living art. What I mean is that while the outer beauty certainly is there, Michael Mirdad himself has figured out a way to embody both the power and intensity of the male and the grace and caring of the female. This is why he fits in so well to Sedona, which of itself, has a great deal of balance between these two dualities. Then I realized that watching Michael during the services made me first become agitated that he could embody this and I couldn’t (or at least wasn’t) and then called to forgive myself and begin choosing a different way of being. And so, there I was, observing the balance in one person, brought through a process of finding my own imbalances, and then brought into balance in my own way. OMG!!! What a trip!

Last Sunday was the first time I’ve been to Unity of Sedona in over 10-15 years. I quite going there due to the intense negativity of so many of the people in charge back then. But this Sunday I was sooooo pleasantly surprised to find the old feeling of love and warmth had returned to my home. I will now be attending more regularly.

I would like to thank Michael for making such a difference in our community.

Dear Ones @ UnitySedona: I am sooooooo happy and grateful to be included in your entirely-wonderfully-full-of-grace, blessings, love, joy, embracing-acceptance, genuine caring community… As a communitarian its nice to be home Michael, your inspired Spirited sharing on Sunday was –well: Perfect! Thank You!
Big Gratitude Hugs,
–Daniel

Thank-you Lorina and everyone else at Unity for all your time and care at Unity!!! I’ve found I’m not as physically able to participate as I thought I could, but with Michael Mirdad’s gifted insight, I am healing and getting stronger, so hope I can do more soon. You guys are so amazing with ALL you do–the tasks at renewing Unity are enormous!, and your dedication is such inspiration of strength and love. When Michael recently told me (in reply to my question) that he, with friends, put the little tape dots on the floor to mark the spots for the chairs, I nearly had bristle brain to even consider working that out!!!  Hoot!
–Elan

It was great to visit Unity of Sedona for the Sunday service! I am so happy for the success there. Also, I felt blessed to be able to participate in the Wednesday night Christ Consciousness workshop and the Saturday night celebration. It’s such an upbeat, positive environment. I loved the way you folks used popular music with uplifting lyrics as part of the service. I so resonate with the music! It’s obvious that the congregation appreciates the Spiritual Leader, Michael Mirdad, and you all seem to be having such a great time. Michael is clearly in the right place, at the right time, doing the right work.

I am in deepest gratitude for all Michael is doing at Unity…for his teachings and for his healings. And, YAY God!!! My husband and I attended the Chaplain training session with Michael last week…Talk about soul-transformation! I had been a Chaplain with Unity in the past, but never before have I experienced such profound teachings and felt the clarity of my role as a channel for the Divine, especially from the special prayer techniques that Michael added to those of Unity. So I just did a prayer session with a good friend today, and she had a total healing as a result…OMG! Towards the end of the training that day, Michael had us practice praying for one another. My husband asked for prayer regarding an specific issue and IMMEDIATELY after applying our prayer, which cut through to the underlying causes & conditions, his phone buzzed and carried a message with the solution to our problem. We both were in awe at the manifestation that had come about so quickly and effortlessly. My own prayer request was for healing the pain my lower back (which I’ve had for 15+ yrs) and even though I thought I was imagining it, the pain is really, really reduced and has been since that prayer (!!!). I feel the power and the presence of miracles in our lives more than ever and the training went way beyond what I ever expected.  I have never considered myself a “healer” or a “miracle-worker,” but I really opened up that day and will continue to nurture and embrace this new paradigm for myself and others. So now I get it…big time…it’s like someone said recently, “It’s as though we think we know who Michael is…but there’s soooooo much more.
–Michelle

Michael, I would like to thank you for your being in our Unity. Not only does it help those that attend Unity but it’s spilling over into the community of Sedona. I know that it has improved our lives. We look forward to starting each week with your “TALKS”. We thank you for being here in Sedona.

I have lived in Sedona for four months and the first two of them were quite a struggle for me financially, and in other ways. I felt very overwhelmed. Then Michael came to Unity as the new Spiritual Leader and each week as I came to his Sunday services and Wednesday evening classes, my life got better and better. How much better? My consciousness shifted so much that I more than tripled my income, I healed some very deep core beliefs and for the first time ever at the age of 46, I am making the commitment to become an actual member of a church. I feel so much love and support and have so much fun there that I happily give back in whatever way I can. Michael is definitely a key factor in Unity’s current draw to it’s lovely community but the people that attend Unity are really spectacular, kind, creative, fun and enjoyable people. I have seen many special and powerful things happening at Unity in the last few months. I invite  people of all faiths and walks of life to come join us and celebrate this gift that resides right in the heart of Sedona.

“With Michael Mirdad at Unity of Sedona, we are experiencing a consistent feeling of Christ Consciousness evolving, the Truth of our Being unfolding as Love (God) Being US.  Micheal’s teachings share high mysticism and his practical, joyful meditations help us to actually experience these teachings. We find Michael honors the roots of Unity tradition, and brings the Fillmores’ New Thought teachings into focus for 21st century living. We feel 2012 will be a precious experience in Unity of Sedona with Michael Mirdad, and we plan to be among the growing community there”.
–Joey Gathering Bear and Laurel Lee 

Throughout our community of Sedona there is a buzz…a buzz about “the amazing things going on at Unity of Sedona.” Everyone seems to be speaking words like: amazing, trans-formative, best ever, miraculous, healing, and so on… I cannot count the number of people I see here now who have been gone for years and are now coming back to Unity. Also, I don’t think any of us could have imagined our little church attracting enough people to now fill three services–and in just 8 weeks since Michael Mirdad’s arrival. OMG! My soul is so grateful to all of us for creating a “Spiritual Leader” of his caliber. He is a true master and yet remains humble, playful, deep, and insightful.

New years Eve bowl burning ceremony was an “Inner Chamber Experience.” Michael led us into a deeper understanding of what needs transmuted within. For me on the surface world I have had a struggle with finding a place to physically live–fit in. I was able to take a dive deep within through the layers of mis-creations. I found at the bottom of my ocean a low self esteem mis-creation that had been getting far too much attention. I wrestled it to the surface with the light of my pen and felt an inner shift as it poofed into flames and disappeared. While Michael continued his Christ-ie transmissions through illumined verbage and presence, myself and some others witnessed something magical. streaming across the sky much slower than a shooting star appeared a beautiful aqua colored light, (space craft? orb?) making its way across the large window behind Michael. It evoked my inner ET for sure. “ET phone home”! I was reminded that home is flying all around me and that all dimensions are and have always been accessable within.
