Leader: Tim
Six attuned members continued with the “The Lord Thy God is One” chapter. We read the section “How We May Come into the Realization of the Oneness” in both the SFG book and the SFG Paraphrased book. We also read a part of the Oneness chapter in Edgar Cayce’s Twelve Lessons in Personal Spirituality.
Experiment: Each day for a week keep this attitude in your meditation periods: “‘I am not concerned with what experiences come to me, but with how much I am able to give of myself to God and express my devotion.”
Experiment: In your daily contacts with others, imagine that they are part of your immediate family. If you feel apathetic or upset with someone, try to imagine how you might feel more caring or tolerant if that person were a close. and beloved family member (e.g., a sister, brother, father, aunt, etc.). Then try to act on that new feeling. Record instances in which you try this experiment. Write the person’s name (unless it is someone you don’t know), the family member status you imagine for him, and how you acted on the feeling.
Example:
Person: a stranger I was sitting next to on
the bus
Family status imagined: that she was
my sister
Action: I struck up a friendly conversation with her instead of just sitting
there silently next to her.
