Minister

 Rev. Jymme Taylor

An inspirational speaker, licensed practitioner, ordained minister , and promoter of individual and collective Spiritual growth and development.

I was born in Orange, California during the construction of the happiest place on earth, Disneyland, and then moved to Covina, Ca. till age 12. I am proud to say that I not only remember the 60’s but loved the experience. The music of that time is what I listen to today. I spent a few years in Omaha, Nebraska. and yes I dated a Boy from Boys Town, where my family is from.

When my father retired around 1968 we moved to a small town named Onyx, Ca. in the south of the Kern River Valley. This is where I spent most of my teenage years and started my family. I was married the first time at 17 and my husband was in the service so I traveled to Germany and spent time as well in Bardstown Kentucky. I have been a resident of Ventura since 1986 which is also the year I found the New Thought Movement. I am married and I have two beautiful daughters and six incredible grandchildren who live by me.

I have worked as an administrative assistant, church manager and teacher of New Thought classes for thirty years. I started singing in churches when I was young and still do occasionally. I have worked with Youth with a Mission, and Teen Challenge.

I come from a varied religious background. My mother was Catholic and my father was raised Christian Science. On my own journey I have studied and become Christian, Four Square, Assembly of God and Born Again Pentecostal all of which led me to the all inclusive and interdenominational New Thought Movement. The moment I started practicing the principles of NewThought I was home. This philosophy has saved my life.

Rev. Jymme with grandaughters, Miettie and Morgana.

I have had the privilege of being a practicing practitioner for the Centers for Spiritual Living for over 18 years, praying with other individuals and seeing the truth of their being, is the most rewarding experience I know. This philosophy satisfies my soul and sharing it with others fulfills my purpose. I went back to school at the age of fifty and I graduated from the (Ernest) Holmes Institute class of 2009 with a Master’s degree in Consciousness Studies. Holmes institute is an accredited Master’s Degree program whose mission is to prepare spiritual leaders for service in the global community.

Right after I graduated, Emerging Spirits, this New Thought Center was born.  We are a vibrant community, filled with the enthusiasm of growth and promise.

Favorite Things: Spending time with my six grandchildren, riding on the back of a BMW with my husband Bernie, loving Emerging Spirits and a yearly trip to Waikiki, Hi.

Hero: Helen Keller, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.”

Favorite quote from one of my favorite authors: “Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.” J.R.R. Tolkien
