Leader: Cindi
Both
Books: A SFG and Experiments in ASFG, keyed to book I by Mark Thurston
Choice
of 3 Experiments:
1. Choose a specific time and place for meditation. Keep it each day!
2. What people in your life do you think the least of? Write down the names. What parts in your life do you think the least of?Write down those parts. Work each day on treating these people and these parts of yourself AS YOU WOULD TREAT GOD. Pray for these individuals and parts of yourself each day,
3. Choose and write down “one” attitude, habit or physical
condition which could be eliminated by conscious effort and which you feel
“may” be a hinderance in your spiritual search. Then decide on a
constructive attitude or way of behaving that could replace that hindering
one (and write down the replacement). Work each day on manifesting that
replacement attitude or behavior.
Cindi
stepped in to volunteer leadership for tonight as our other volunteer leader
needs time to care for a post op spouse, who is doing well. We
began meditation and prayers, closed our chakras, and reported on how our work
last week with our experiment went. One noticed a subtle difference. Another
learned how important meditating at the same time each day can be. When the
meditation time wasn’t kept, a later opportunity just didn’t happen. Benefits
of keeping the same time, which include the body being ready for stillness, prompts one to meditate.
Seven
souls looking for a better understanding of our Creator, read and discussed whether
the seven experiences listed may all be experienced individually “in the
Silence” or if experiences happen according to one’s level of development. No
one knew that they are contingent on spiritual development. One thought of them
as possibilities that an individual could experience several, or many, but it
is probably unlikely anyone would experience 100% of them all. The long time
meditators present had experienced some of the seven experiences, but no one
reporting on having experienced all seven.
Experiences:
1. Sensation of bodily movement. 2. Coolness on forehead or head. 3. Sense of
pulsation in lower spine. 4. vibration rising up thru the body to a sense of
fullness in the head. If we reach a point of raising vibrations to the
disseminating center, then our bodies may if properly used, bring healing to
others. 5. Sensation to the eyes, an indication of healing. 6. A voice speaking
is a manifestation of inner self's awakening of abilities to communicate,
connect, associate with influences from without. 7. Finally, there is the
passing into oneness with the Whole; experienced in feeling, sight, or voice.
We
read the conclusion entirely. A strong desire to seek truth, with constant
persistent effort to move forward, plus meditation is the safest way to know
ourselves. Cayce explained the three-part Biblical temple is symbolic of
ourselves, of our three levels of consciousness, our own Temple bodies, with
points at each endocrine gland connecting physical body and the soul. Eccles.
12:6 refers these connections separating at our death. To
find our God within our own hearts and consciousness, it recommended we purge
ourselves of any hindrances to entering our temple's inner "holy of holies."
We
begin Lesson I, Cooperation, under leadership from Scott next week.

Loving Oneness,
