"Silence, Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation blend into each other harmoniously." –Flower A. Newhouse
Finding Your True North
Entering the Light - Lesson 5
"One of the most wonderful things that Christ ever gave this world as His permanent gift was the awareness that this outer dimension is penetrated, supplied, and guided by another higher spiritual dimension. We know there is more to life than appears on the surface. Out of this deep certainty that Christ gives us of eternity to which we belong, there springs a new and creative worship and consecration to God."
-Flower A. Newhouse, The Collected Works, Volume I

Now let us do an activity to increase our understanding of Christ's role in our spiritual journey to know God. In a moment, you will click on the link below to a pdf document with a picture of Christ and an article by Flower. Read it a few sentences at a time - pausing occasionally to look into the face of Christ to allow the words to deepen their way into your consciousness. At the end, there is a reflection and task. Enjoy!

As a Great One once said, "Do your work in peace, knowing that We are not giving you more than you are enabled to perform. It is the conscientiousness of your co-operation which is watched, rather than the excellence of your endeavors."
Questions and Answers
Questions and answers with Flower A. Newhouse (excerpted from Here Are Your Answers, Volumes I, II and III)
 | What is the Christ's influence? |
 | The Lord Christ came to change the impulses of mankind and to direct those impulses toward that which is constructive. He gave His life to accomplish this. Through His sacrifice the life influence was enabled to attract the attention, devotion, and realization of the highest aspirants on the planet. They realized the huge debt that they owed the One Who saved them from being bestial and materialistic. He brought into their Souls gentleness, gallantry, beauty, refinement, and sensitivity to their higher natures. So, every man owes the Christ a debt of honor-more than any great Soul on the planet. (P. 142, III) |
