Leader: Greg
ARE Goal/Ideal: Global manifestation of oneness, the Love of God and all people.
Ideal: Oneness
Action: Affirm daily my oneness with each member of our group.
Scripture: "In your patience possess ye your souls." Luke 21:19
Lesson VII: Patience; Introduction, Value of Patience were read tonight.
Experiment: This is an experiment in self-observation. Be aware of the dimension 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.
Five seekers of truth, knowledge, and understanding of spiritual truth Zoomed into our meeting space, wherein vibrations synergistically rose higher given intentions and ideals of attendees. Watching a ten-minute long video on Lesson VII, "Patience", by David McMillian focused our minds on "patience."
Two experimenting Souls received confirmation and validation (1) with a phone call from the recipient reporting she had been receiving energy (2) the other received verbal assurance from others benefiting distance Reiki sent to them. A third experimenter had confidence the prayers were beneficial without verbal validation after praying for another. Finally, amid grandchildren and with a canine companion, the experiment challenge was accepted to secure time alone, to find within self that that sustains one when one is unable to sustain self.
One questioning soul this week past also asked for a sign as to whether or not she should call a person she did not know. Seeker then found in the road and stopped to get an object off the blacktop; the object had the same name as the person to be called. With the namesake object in hand, the seeker had confirmation "Yes," and confidence of a positive outcome of making that initial call.
Another had an unusual, unexpected experience that was so similar to our next experiment for the upcoming week. With greeting cards in hand, walking down the drive toward the mail box, she saw an unidentified car in the driveway near the street. Next to the car, a man holding a fawn explained, on his way to a job interview, he'd had an accident, his vehicle had broken the fawn's leg, he said. "Will you hold this fawn while I call the vet?," he asked, while hurriedly placing the fawn in her arms. She noticed how beautiful the fawn was, with its round white spots on its coat of tawny golden reddish colored, soft hair. The baby was in intense pain, with an open wound at the fracture site. And frightened, so scared. Just as she was able to soothe and calm the fawn, the mother Doe came into direct sight, some distance beyond the road, behind the wire fence set further back from it. Baby fawn's sweet soprano voice desperately called out to its mother, loudly, briefly, a call no longer than the caw of a crow. Simultaneously leaping to run to mother, but instead, fawn hit the ground with a thud; yet still traveled quickly four or five feet before the man running, could come grab the baby and pick it up again. And now holding the fawn, also complete his call. He described the location. Soon a vehicle stopped partially on the lawn, its driver emerged, ran around the auto, opened the passenger door, pushed the seat forward. The man and fawn entered the back seat and away they drove for help. While the body of the fawn was so much longer than the torso of a human baby's, perhaps 30", holding the hurting, fretting baby deer felt no differently than holding a distraught human baby. It weighed about as much as a six month old human child would. The fawn also responded to a soft soothing, reassuring human voice, as human babies do. She felt a oneness of life with a wild fawn. Then someone asked her the question, "If this were a metaphor, what would it be to you?" then she saw the reality. This grandma has been quarantined with family, across the country from home. And she's been feeling sadness and grief at leaving family with young grandchildren in a few weeks. It feels as if her baby is being torn, or leaping out of her arms. Just as the spiritual law Enoch gave, "As above, so below, as within so without." Or as some therapists say, the universe is your mirror. What are you being shown? Instead of being shown in a dream, unexpressed feelings of sadness being held within, appeared "without" as a sweet, gentle baby flying out of her arms".
Impatiently praying for patience WITHOUT ALL THOSE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT MAKE YOU PATIENT.
