Cindi, John, Sylvia and I met Monday night at 7.
We visited for a bit. Cindi shared a moving poem by Henry Van Dyke entitled
"Gone from Sight." John discussed mathematicians' right and left
brain usage. He shared some math equations with us.
We meditated after Sylvia led us in neck and
breathing exercises. Thank you again, Sylvia!
We discussed last week's experiment about
focusing on listening to others.
We read in the Fellowship chapter the section
titled "Our Fellowship with God." We discussed how hard it can be at
times to show our love of God by showing our love to our fellow man.
We read in the Experiments in a Search for God,
pages 65 to 66, down to the experiment.
We selected the experiment on page 66: "Select
one pattern that you frequently hold of resentment toward or irritation with
another person. Each day for a week work with letting go of that pattern. Stop
feeding it and giving attention to it when it comes to your mind. Even though a
part of you may enjoy entertaining it, affirm that the reward of knowing
fellowship with God will be a greater experience. Keep a record of your
experiences of knowing a greater sense of fellowship this way."
In regards to the difficult situation you choose
with another, do some of you feel "a part of you may enjoy entertaining
it?" Or do you feel hurt, horrified, or some other emotion?
June
