Lesson 1

I was very excited to read the first lesson in this course. Even as I was reading it I found myself identifying the traits discussed in people around me. I found that while I am a person who is guided by my heart, my partner is guided by her mind. This seems to be common in couples, one uses their mind and the other their heart to guide them on their path. I look forward to observing others as I continue studying the lessons in this course.

LESSON 2 AWAKENING SPIRIT

THE AWAKENING OF ONES KNOWLEDGE OF SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON OUR DIRECTION IN LIFE.
  
AS WE SET OUR SPIRITUAL EYES DEEP IN OURSELVES. THERE IS A RIVER OF LIFE ( ENERGY) FLOWING IN THE FORM OF THOUGHTS. THESE UTTERANCES ARE OF THINGS THAT WILL REVEAL DIRECTIONS AND REVELATIONS OF DESIRES AND TIMES OF YESTERDAY ,TODAY AND ALSO THE FUTURE.

AS I  SET WITH MY EYES CLOSED. I LOOK INTO THE LIGHT. THIS LIGHT IS THE SECRET PLACE THAT I HAVE PREPARED . THIS IS THE PLACE, THAT LESSON ONE HAD INSTRUCTED US TO MAKE. I HAVE A BIG SCREEN THAT COMES UP IN FRONT OF MY EYES AND I LOOK FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE SPIRIT, TO BREATHE, WITHIN ME HIS WORDS OF TRUTH .

 SATURDAY I WAS IN A MEETING WITH A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE,THEY WERE HUNGRY TO HEAR FROM THE SPIRIT, SO CALLED A LADY OUT AND BEGAN TO TELL HER OF THE LOST AF A LOVE ONE AND A PROBLEM WITH SOME PROPERTY SHE OWNED .

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WALK IN A SPIRIT STATE OF MIND . I WAS NEEDING A CAR AND WALKING AROUND WALLY WORLD
(WALMART) AND A LADY WALKED BY ME , I FELT IN THE SPIRIT A STRONG PULLING OF ENERGY TO STOP AND TELL HER WHAT I HEARD THE SPIRIT  IMPRESS IN ME . SHE BEGAN TO CRY BE CAUSE SHE WAS LOOKING FOR  THE VERY ANSWER THAT I SPOKE TO HER, AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE I ASKED HER TO PRAY THAT I WOULD GET A CAR.

SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD JUST GOT A NEW CAR , AND SHE HAD HER OLD CAR AT HOME AND TOLD ME TO COME TO HER HOUSE AND SHE BLESSED ME WITH THE CAR. THERE IS A TRUE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT WORLD.

Re: Lesson 1: Master of Spirituality

Re: Lesson 1: Master of Spirituality
 
As I read Lesson 1, I couldn't help thinking of my two nephews.  John is 47 and considers himself an atheist/humanist.  He, his wife and son do not attend church, although his wife, as far as I can tell does believe in God.  His brother, Robert, (42) is studying to be a pastor.  He, his wife and two sons have been very involved in an evangelical church for several years.  They are on completely opposite ends of the religious/spiritual spectrum. 
 
In my discussions with John, however, it becomes evident that he is truly more agnostic than atheist.   From what he now knows, he sees no evidence of God, and considers those who do, to be foolish at best, ignorant at worst.  Robert believes not only that there is a God, but that unless we are "born again," we will not enter the kingdom of heaven.  He has given up trying to persuade John or me to be "born again" - as we have requested he cease and desist.  Robert, sadly, is a little condescending about it all, and says he will pray for us sinners.
 
I exist somewhere in the middle of them both, for I do not adhere to what is considered the "religious right" way of thinking, which tends to condemn all those, believers or not, who do not believe and behave precisely as they do.  Therefore, according to the gospel of (my) John, I am foolishly clinging to the myth that there is a God.  According to the gospel of Robert, I am doomed to spend eternity in hell.
 
In the ensuing lessons of this course, I expect to learn new ways of thinking about spirituality that will help me in further discussions with my nephews and with others who seek me out for such ministry.
