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

Finding Your True North

Entering the Light - Lesson 6

"The realization our Christed Lord held before Himself unceasingly was that of 'I and the Father are one.' Adhering to that awareness of unified Deity, He drew upon the reservoir of the Father's Spirit by imbuing Infinite power through the artesian well of His own unfolding Divinity. How faithfully the Christ turned every credit back to the Father. 'The Father within me he doeth the works.' And '. . . thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever.'"
-Flower A. Newhouse, Christward, Volume I, p. 23

Listen to Flower speak on beholding God in all things through Christ, Emmanuel God with Us

How did your meditations go lifting your challenges to God and our Lord Christ?

It is important for us to reflect on our practices and modify them as needed to enhance what they bring in our attunements. Keep them creative and changing - growing. Reflect on any variations that you did try or ponder what you might want to try to augment your attunements with God and our Lord Christ.

This meditation is now for us to use whenever we need it. It can easily adapt to other needs as well. Let's take people in our life. Perhaps there are individuals that need healing or whom challenge us. This also needs to be lifted to Christ.

Beholding God in All Things Through Christ

Listen to Flower talk on how Christ will lead us in Emmanuel God with Us

"The attitude the Lord Christ revealed toward others was one of love made Godly. He stressed that it was spiritual love which brought forth the Divine in man. It was by His restoring love that the maimed, the friendless and the despised were raised into higher levels of being. He proved 'Love is the fulfilling of the Law.' (Rom. 13:10) The Lord Jesus counseled us, 'Abide ye in my love," and He likewise cautioned, 'Let love be without dissimulation.' (Rom. 12:9)"
-Flower A. Newhouse, Christward, Volume I, p. 22

This seems to speak of a spiritual love that comes from our higher selves beckoning those who receive it to respond likewise from their higher selves. This is a love we need to give to all that God brings into our life.

Activity

Let us begin in silence to picture the faces of those in our life that need some kind of healing - whether it is physical or spiritual in nature. Let us also think of those that challenge us in some way or need our forgiveness. Remember as you see their faces that they too are a master in the making. We want to mine wholeheartedly to discover their treasures within each one.

As you begin to focus on two or three in particular individuals that need this kind of healing, click on the link below to begin this activity.

Practice

M17 We are going to work on the same card as last time (Divine Trust in the green section) with a slight modification.

Let us take these individuals from our last activity to our meditation of Divine Trust. Let us offer them before the Lord Christ. Below is a modified meditation outline to follow in this guideline in your attunement times.

  • Silence - M7
  • Call upon God and all the functioning Powers
  • Call upon the Lord Christ - Concentrate on the attitude, the behavior, and the deeds of the Lord Christ. Envision the tremendous patience and self-possession Jesus exercised under the pressure of activity and severe testings.
  • One by one, lift the people whom need healing (or that challenge you) before Christ. Be open to the waves of Divinity. Envision this individual surrounded in Light. Envision good and constructive elements coming to them-allowing you to see their true treasures. See the Christ in them.
  • Surrender yourself into the Trust of the Divine emanations of God the Whole (M11) - Surrender to the love of Christ.
  • Closing Prayer

Questions and Answers

Questions and answers with Flower A. Newhouse (excerpted from Here Are Your Answers, Volumes I, II and III)

What is meant by the phrase, "His only begotten Son," found in the verse, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life? John 3:16.

This refers to the fact that the One known historically as Jesus of Nazareth was the only one of our humanity able to meet the requirements for attainment of Christhood. There are Masters and Lords who have evolved through the earth; yet, none of them was capable of meeting the requisites of the Christ office. (P. 32, II)
