A.R.E. Meeting for 5/9/22

Leader: Eric
 
Six seekers sought spiritual awakening by finishing our lesson on Desire. In the SFG book we read the sections “The Wisdom of Unselfish Desire” and “Conclusion.” In the Experiments book, we read the last three:
 
Experiment 1: Select a desire pattern for which you alternate between taming it and feeling guilty for allowing it to control you. Try to get clear on what it is you really desire. Is the apparent desire only a mask for a deeper desire? Try to see clearly how a change in this habitual desire pattern could also benefit others. In order to keep a sense of openness to receive help, use this affirmation or write another version of it in your own words: “I cannot bear this alone, my Savior, my Christ, I seek Thy aid.”
 
Experiment 2: Spend free time or discretionary time with people who awaken in you a self-image or an outlook on life which you think you most need now in your growth.
 
Experiment 3: Rewrite the Lord’s Prayer in your own words, just as this Cayce reading gives its own version. First try to get in touch with your deepest desire to be attuned to God, then let this personal desire be expressed in the way you work each line of the prayer. Try using your version just before your meditation period.
