A.R.E. Meeting for 10/11/21

Leader: Eric

We reached a high participation total of seven as we started a new chapter, “The Lord Thy God is One.” In the SFG book we read to the section “How We May Come into the Realization of the Oneness.”

We brought up the realization of colder weather coming this week, which may kill our gardens unless they are covered. We talked about social media, especially Facebook, and how it puts a damper on personal contact through voice conversations with our loved ones.

This week we have two experiments:

Experiment 1: Examine your life and choose one way in which you are using energy which is not in accord with your ideals. This can be an emotional, attitudinal or active way of using energy. Write down what you select. Then demonstrate in your daily life your understanding of the inherent oneness of all force by transforming that energy to a more loving or constructive form. Record your experiences.

Example: Feeling frustrated and angry with other drivers who are discourteous.

Transformation: Changing your expression of the one energy by sending out to those people a prayer instead of thoughts of anger.

 Experiment 2: In you daily meditation periods try to use distractions to take you deeper into the oneness with the meaning of your affirmation. Use each distraction as a gift. Have the attitude that says of each distracting thought, “Here is another great opportunity for me to bring some part of my life into the awareness of the oneness.”
