Four
faithful Cayceites met to further the development of their souls. The meeting
started with a discussion of keeping personal information safe with credit or
debit cards and how Google is now getting into the medical records business.
But we digressed, and needed to get back to the real reason for the meeting.
In
the Primer, we finished the chapter on soul development, reading sections on “Personality
vs Individuality,” “Awareness of the Oneness,” and “In Patience.”
Since
patience is such an interesting and misunderstood topic, we decided to pull an
experiment from the Patience chapter of Experiments Book I.
Experiment:
This is an experiment in self-observation. Be aware of the dimensions of life
which the readings call “patience.” How are you responding within yourself to
things going on around you? You may frequently hide that inner response from
others, and yet it is an important factor in your growth in consciousness. Each
day before you go to bed take a few minutes to think back over the day and
write down inner responses you had to events of the day which you did not
express or allow to show (e.g., when Jane made that remark this morning, it
hurt my feelings and I felt angry, but I didn’t let it show). Indicate
which of your responses were in accord with your ideals (e.g., when John said
he appreciated what I had done it made me feel really good towards him and
myself; such feelings are in accord with my ideals). Make an effort during the
week to respond in ways consistent with your ideals, even to those situations
which usually evoke a negative response.
