Spirit is the only substance, and it is not measured by material things and human power, but by spirituality and divine power.

The table that God has placed before us in the seeming presence of evil thoughts and actions, is spiritual understanding.

Earth, materiality, can never become a dwelling place for a child of God because his home is heaven-harmony, peace and divine will.

Does it mean restoring life to a physical body, or raising mortal thought so that it connects with divine
revelation? You decide.

Earth affords no resting place for a child of God, but becoming a stranger to the ways of the world, assures a place in the house of God.

The Unfolding of a Rose is where business, personal development and spirituality join hands.
The Unfolding of a Rose Network - Join Us
JOIN US NOW! IT IS FREE
The Unfolding of a Rose pays tribute to the late Meta Rose Fluker-Yett. It expresses her concept of life, activitiy, and love of people. For over 17 years, she dedicated her life to connecting people with fashion, design, business acumen and man's humanity to man. These ingredients define the foundation of our mission.
As we reach out to people around the world, the force behind this outreach is the continous unfolding of love, respect, kindness and impartiality. Many avenues will be explored, opportunites sort, and successes achieved. The Unfolding of a Rose represents the unfolding of ideas in human consciousness.
Each person is composed of an infinite supply of ideas. Let us use these ideas to serve mankind through higher thought, deeper contemplation, inspired effort, solid committment, and persistent achievement.
Growth in Spirituality and Personal Development Improve Business
The founder of Rio Boutique, Meta Yett, understood the importance of combining business and spirituality in her journey of personal development. She knew as spirituality increases, business evolves, and personal growth flourishes.
What is spirituality? Wikipedia says, "spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of their being." It is one's divine connection--man's oneness with God--the inner soul or spiritual sense that serves as the foundation of thought, word and deed. Without it, one wanders in a sea of misconception, illusion, and spiritual imbalance. Spiritual awareness leads to higher levels of thought, grace, and revelation. It lifts us to the joy that none can take away, the wealth of ideas that are constant, and the business of doing good.
What is personal development? Consulting Wikipedia, it is that "development (which) includes activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitates employment, enhance quality of life, and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations." Wow, what a mouthful? Closer observance emphasizes how spirituality and personal development intertwine--one being the core or center of being of which all intelligence, wisdom, understanding and substance have their source, and the other, personal development, being the recipient of this deeper knowledge, culminating in positive action and implementation.
How does this recognition help in establishing and growing a business? A business can be defined as the buying and selling of commodities and services to others--distributing these goods and services to consumers, and enhancing their lives. Thus, it becomes essential that businesses "get it right." Money and material growth cannot be the focus of growth and development. Why? Because such shallowness breeds greed, irresponsibility, shoddy preparation, and immoral practices. The "bottom line" cannot be the center and circumference of all business activity. Business ownership needs personal development, and personal development derives from spirituality--the foundation of everything. All three work together for the betterment of mankind. Not only does spirituality include inner growth, it directs the manifestation of this growth through outward activities. Actions follow thought, so getting it right means feeding and enlarging consciousness with supernal freshness. The force that allows this consciousness to reach the mountain-top of success, is love--divine love--love that demonstrates "love thy neighbor as thyself." Every individual is a neighbor.
Have you ever wondered why many wealthy and prestigious people are so unhappy, suffer from emotional and mental instability, and even kill themselves? They got it wrong! Money, popularity, and power, became the focus of their lives, and these always lead to mental destruction.
Meta knew this. Her life was her spirituality. It dictated decisions, finalized transactions and developed business acumen through prayer, meditation and divine revelation. She loved people, and her richness accrued not from an enlarged bank account, but an enlarged consciousness, filled with hope, faith, laughter and joy.
THE UNFOLDING OF A ROSE
"What Inspired you to write this book?"
"I wrote The Unfolding of a Rose because I believe my daughter's story should be told. Every person has a specific purpose for living. That purpose is to give to the world, thoughts, words and experiences that no other person can give. Each person's individuality is unique to himself. These expressions of individuality should not be a hindrance to the world, but should help make it a better place to live--thoughts that establish hope, faith, courage, strength, persistence and a sense of well-being, no matter what the circumstances are. These in turn, help everyone gain a higher sense of what life is--the divine activity of thought. The Unfolding of a Rose is my daughter's and my gift to the world."

I read an article today that held up "faith-healers" as people who do not practice what they preach. The writer’s sole purpose was to list the number of people who placed their faith in God for healing, and either turned to medicine later, or died from a disease. I am not sure what a faith-healer is. The article seemed to lean…
