Hello Everyone,
Excitement lingered as we began
our meeting regarding the first total eclipse of the sun all the way across the
United States
for the first time in 99 years. In
addition, a doctor posted on the Internet a false Google research earth finding
of pyramids in Antarctica . Actually, the configuration of the “three
pyramids” is mountains discovered 1910-191, shaped very much like pyramids but
with curving lines ascending the three peaks.
We
read three sections on “The Cross and the Crown,” from page 114 to the end of
the section, “Why Do We, as Individuals, Necessarily Bear Much That He Bore,
and Yet Say That When Taking His Yoke upon Us the Cross Becomes Easy?” near the
center of page 118.
Our experiment is the next one in
the book following quotes of readings 262-334, 5749-10, 1440-2 advising us to
not wonder as much about what my Cross is, but rather how with his aid, best
meet my cross, in my approach to the Crown of Righteousness. The next two describe the attitude: Humility, the same humbleness with which he
met all the challenges before the throng, the mockery, the rulers, the
riffraff, the purple robe with the crown of thorns, humbles knowing in self
that it is that necessary for GOD’S WILL to be more “Truly Manifested” in thine
own experience. (Broadly paraphrased)
The Experiment Is: Meet your crosses with an attitude of
humility. Do not defend yourself with retorts or argumentative statements, even
if you feel you are right. Keep a record
of situations in which you were able to bear a cross humbly without defense of
yourself.
See you Monday,
Sylvia
