"Silence, Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation blend into each other harmoniously." -Flower A. Newhouse

Finding Your True North

Entering the Light - Preface

In response to the idea that too many persons merely exist in life moving from one event to the next, Flower said, "There are higher levels of consciousness inherent in us. Our inner need is to grow or advance into these higher aspects of ourselves. This means, in brief, that we are being urged to evolve from personal to cosmic consciousness."

In many ways this expresses the decision each of us have made to join this class together. May it ever lead us into the Light of God - expanding and leading us to higher levels of being.

Drawing Closer To God

If you have not read the first chapter, Drawing Closer to God, in the booklet Ways Into God's Presence, please do so now.

Much of what takes place in this class requires reflection and self-evaluation of your spiritual journey. It is recommended that you keep a journal of your responses. Like footprints in the sand, they mark the way you have been to keep you from traveling in circles and to guide you ever forward in your spiritual walk. When ready, reflect and respond to these questions:

What does it mean to you to desire God?

How does this relate to what Flower suggests in this chapter?

Reread the 4th paragraph on page 4. Ponder the ways that you are aware of God through all the hours of the day and night.

Everything in this kit centers around your desire to know God. While individuals might express this differently, this kit offers various Ways for anyone to come more readily into the Divine Presence.

What is the most natural way that you come to God?

Getting to Know the Kit

Look over the white Cover Sheet page (the one with the footprints) which highlights the various Ways into God's Presence as introduced in this kit. Where do you feel the most comfortable? Where do you have the most questions?

Future lessons will guide you through each of those Ways to help you understand their special distinctions as Flower understood them. She said, "There are special ways to think of Divine Reality and to open ourselves to the Presence. Each of these designations has a definite role and accomplishes a purpose not found in the other."

Now it is time to review the kit in greater detail. Start with the kit information at the bottom of this page. Feel free to explore the cards and information sheets. It may also be a good time to examine the back of the Orientation Sheet for an overview of the books and CDs. (I2)

Practice

S7 The key symbol represents the laminated cards attached to the compass keychain. S7 refers to the seventh card in the Silence section with the same label in the lower right hand corner. The assignment in this lesson is to practice tuning into the immensity of God with the activity listed on this card. If it is not night as yet, ponder on other ways where you sense the vastness and greatness of your Creator.

Close your time with a prayer of gratitude. Thank God for this moment at hand, the insights that have come and all that is in your life. Beginning all your thoughts and prayers to God with gratitude invites Divine involvement in your life because you recognize the Source of all that is.

May your day be blessed in high Remembrance!

Kit Information

Review Kit Symbols on the white laminated Contents Sheet. If you see any of these symbols referenced on the cards or sheets, it means it is contained in this kit. For example, the reference means that you can look up the original text that this information was pulled from because it is in your kit.

In the lower right hand corner of every information sheet and card is a number referring to its identity within the kit. This also corresponds to the Contents page so you can easily find the card of your choice. It makes your kit easy to reassemble if you want to pull it apart.

This kit is color coded for each Way into God's Presence. Silence = Teal, Prayer = Blue, Meditation = Green, Contemplation = Yellow, Previsioning = Gold, Remembrance = Lavender, World Treatment = Pink.

All Information Sheets are tan while the Contents page is white.

About Flower A. Newhouse

The life and writings of Flower A. Newhouse are those of a Christian mystic, and her insights into the inner realms of life provide us with a path to wholeness that she called "Living the Life." These teachings are not doctrine, but a practical guide to the direct, immediate experience of God. Flower's mission was also to reawaken humanity to the reality of angels, a work she began with her first book in 1937, and added to in many published writings and in recorded lectures.
