I have been searching for more years than i know for something that explains the spiritual to me in a way that made sense to me. Not that understand it that well, I’m struggling, believe me, but it’s starting to come together
I have a question about P art 2: I will not be finished with Part 1, I don’t think, before Part 2 is scheduled to start. Should I enroll anyway and just go along at my own pace as I have been doing? I’m on Lesson 4 now because I’m going back to read and watch videos in order to see what I missed that , after reflecting , becomes more clear. I’ll probably move to Lesson 5 in a day or two. Thank you
That the authors of books are passing on not only their writings but the essence of their minds. Starting to understand the concept of not only trying to comprehend the text I am reading but to feel it. Asking myself, how do the words make me feel inside as I read them. Even though I cannot understand or have difficulty understanding some of the recommended readings, I do find myself having moments of feeling/emotion as I relate the text to life, my life. Thoughts appear as I am reading that make me stop reading as I reflect on comparisons and memories of my own life experiences. It helps me understand these events in my life on a much deeper level than ever before, like finally there is some revealing of truth.
I have listened to the Revealed course several times but the readings and additional videos this week in this course really took it to the next level. I thought it was really interesting what Dr. L said about women and spirituality, as well as learning that doing external work such as outreach is not having the desired effect.
What helped me this week was the application of learning in opposites. (It helped to perceive myself as the vessel with a screen as the intention.) It helped me see that setting the intention “for the Creator’s sake”, studying and growing my ability to keep it set, helps focus me to contrast the thoughts and feelings of each situation I experience with what I perceive of the Creator. (the Light strikes my vessel) Do I feel bad? Do I feel good? If I feel bad I can understand it’s because my thoughts/feelings/actions are remote from the Creator. I can try to understand the qualities of the Creator as compared to myself in this experience. When I feel good I can lovingly receive for the Creator’s sake and contemplate Him from the perspective of my own thoughts and feelings. Each time I have my intention set and each time I encounter a situation that allows me to compare my exact spot to what I know about the Creator, my understanding grows. Each subjective experience tells me something.
I’m uncertain if this is correct, but it clicked for me generally like this.
The idea that we gain the strength to use the correct intention by achieving a capacity to sense the spiritual world, and then to make a direct comparison between how it works and how our inner world works, and to adjust our own parts slowly to match it. Being able to see both and adjust makes much more sense than just imagining it based on the descriptions and then trying to desire what we imagined.
That helps a ton. Because I was like “how am I supposed to develop a desire to change and bestow for a target and a recipient I cannot even conceive of?”
So, I get it now.
