A.R.E. Meeting for 12/21/09

Leader: Nancy
Reader: Greg

We finished the chapter "The Lord Thy God is One," and next week we start "Love."

Our experiment concerns fear. The reading below was advice for a woman on how to use her will to overcome fear so as to have atonement and at-onement:

Then, with that just given above, there may be seen the varying forces that produce karmic influence. But, that that may be found in oneness with that of 'He--God--is One,' and making self in an at-onement, is not only denying any other influence but acting in the way knowing that he will bear thee up--and give His angels charge concerning thee in the way thou goest, lest thou dash thine self against a barrier. Then, when there arises those experiences where fear comes from faltering in self or another, force self--by will--'I will!'--to give, live and know that He doeth all things well in and through the expression of the Father in every soul! Then may the body in the present, the body-consciousness, the mental-consciousness, have that peace that passeth understanding, that comes from an at-onement in the consciousness of His love dwelling within.

With that reading, comes this experiment:
Try the recommendation from the reading above. Whenever you experience the influence of fear, affirm that 'God is working purposefully and well through my life.' Then act on that belief. Record any specific situation in which you were able to overcome a feeling of fear in this way.
