"Silence, Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation blend into each other harmoniously." –Flower A. Newhouse
Finding Your True North
Entering the Light - Lesson 8
"The work of the Christ is that of raying out Divine love and encouragement to every creature in existence. Our Lord is perpetually occupied with the offices of his Christship. One of its most vital services is that of bringing human beings into a state of regeneration and self-conquest. Christ will not finish His work until the whole planet and all of humanity is brought to its highest degree of development."
-Flower A. Newhouse, Christward, Volume I, pp. 92-93
It is important that through the exercises of the last lesson and the ones ahead that we begin to deepen our relationship with the Lord Christ. Merely thinking of Him can lift our thoughts. It attunes us with the frequencies of God.
How did your attunements to Christ go? Reflect on the symbols and images that came of Christ during your reflections of Him.
 | What realizations came from reflecting on His pattern? Flower frequently said Christ is the pattern of our own becoming. What does this mean to you? |
Let us gather these thoughts together now as we begin to look at what Christ was sent into this world to accomplish.
Christ's Mission
| How do you understand Christ's mission? |
 | Listen to Flower speak to His mission, Emmanuel - God with Us |
Reflect for a moment on how this impacts you.
Reread the statement just spoken by Flower below.
"Christ's mission is to release the divine into our conscious knowing. He awakens the impulse in man to rise above his lower nature and be aware of his higher nature that dwells within."
-Flower A. Newhouse
| What can we do to make this more a part of our attention and living? |
Activity
To help us release the divine into our conscious knowing, let us visualize Christ's Light coming into our life in greater ways. Create your own meditation where you actually see this Light of Christ enveloping a situation in your life which needs upliftment, protection or healing.
 | V3 Read and use this card to help you with your visualization practice. |
Practice
| R2 Let's enhance and modify this recollection practice on this card by taking these words during our reflections throughout the day in this way: "Today, oneness with Eternal Powers and Deities forms the foundation of our Temple of Christhood." |
| Listen to this closing blessing from Flower, Emmanuel - God with Us |
Peace to you today and the light of strong and spiritually - intentioned purposes!
Questions and Answers
Questions and answers with Flower A. Newhouse (excerpted from Here Are Your Answers, Volumes I, II and III)
 | Please explain the activity of the Christ Spirit. Is It something separate from the Lord Christ, and if so, does He supervise every detail of Its work? |
 | The Christ Spirit is really the aura of our Lord extending to and including every portion of the earth. Whatever is Christ-like in essence, quality, mentality and conduct adds to the content of the ever-expanding Christ Spirit. We might also consider it as a tremendous reservoir of Light, which encircles the earth, whose function is to bless, to redeem, to spiritualize, to love and to heal all who make prayerful requests in the name of the Christ Spirit. This tremendous sea of pure energy is activated and distributed by the Christ Angels. (HAYA II, pp. 35 and 36) |
