Ideas for studying the lesson on "Love" for February 2, 2020

Dear Friends,

Each week I do five conference calls to study the lesson more deeply. They are offered five different times, but the content is pretty much the same. The conference calls are supported by Peace Haven Nursing Association as a gift to the wider Christian Science Community. The purpose is to encourage deeper study of the Scriptures.

If you are interested in joining me on a FREE phone conference call during this week to go more deeply into the lesson on “Love?” just call me at 618 980 2207 or email me at kathy@peacehavenassociation.org. I will send you the times they are offered and the phone numbers to call in on. On the Monday of each week, you will receive handouts that I will use during the conference call.

However, there are many articles in the periodicals on the subject of Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy, and also from the Mary Baker Eddy Library. Here are some of them for your deeper study. (I will share a few ideas from the verses from Revelation on the conference call).

Take 17 minutes and watch this video on “Solomon’s Temple.” It has the Garden of Eden with the flaming sword. I’m not sure about the relation between the tabernacle and the Garden of Eden. I need to do more work on that. But the visual description of the literal tabernacle/Temple is wonderful!! Just know that everything about the tabernacle is symbolic and needs to be prayerfully studied.

Ideas for studying the lesson on "Sacrament" for January 12, 2020

WHY DO WE KNEEL AND PRAY IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE?

Praying in Communion Services: by Mrs. Eddy  CSJ August 1889 & quoted in Mrs. Hoag's article below:

"The sacrament shall be observed ... by a short interval of solemn and silent self-examination by each member, as to his or her fitness to be called a follower of Christ, Truth; as to his real state of love toward man, and fellowship and communion with Christ; as to whether he is gaining in the understanding and demonstration of Truth and Love, coming out from the world and being separated from error; growing less selfish, more charitable and spiritual, yea, walking worthy of his high calling.”

“One should turn into his consciousness with renewed carefulness the ever- searching light of Truth. Shall it not be a specific time for purging from one's thought all that is unworthy and untrue?”

immortality, thought, extension, cause, and effect; con-
stituting and governing all identity, individuality, law,

Ideas for studying the lesson on "Mortals and Immortals" for November 17, 2019

Dear friends,

I will be doing all conference calls and meetings in my home for this lesson on “Mortals and Immortals”.

Next week’s lesson on “Soul and Body” I will NOT be doing, because I’m out of town giving a talk.

Then the next week’s lesson on “Ancient and Modern Necromancy. . .” on December 1, 2019, I WILL be doing them— and from then on. (Although I will NOT hold sessions on Thanksgiving Day.)

__________

Laura Sargent CSD Reminiscences:   “Question. How do mortals grow into immortals?  Answer. As darkness grows into light. By the darkness disappearing. St John the Revelator caught the true vision of man and the universe in that there was no night, no matter , no mortal mind. This state of being is the reality of all scientific consciousness, and it is here and now.

Mortals grow into immortals in the sense only that the mortal is found nothing and the immortal the only thing, fact, and mode of being.  (MB Eddy) 

__________

Dear friends,

“Walk in the Light “is the main idea in this lesson, at least for me.

The words “walk” and “light” are used many, many times.

Walk means to progress, proceed, move forward. It also includes the manner that we live, our conduct and conversation.

To walk in the light is to bring our lives into alignment with the Word of God, to love the Truth, to grow in holiness and faith.
