Notes:

Opening:

• Practitioner Class – years of preparing, consciously readying the mind
• Don Mannery – SLIDE: Everything God is, I AM.
• • • • This is the primary orientation one needs.
• SLIDE: Merely to abstain from wrong thinking is not enough; there must be active right thinking. We must become actively constructive and happy in our thinking – not merely passively so. – The Science of Mind p. 143
• • Demonstrate/Demonstration
• SLIDE: We can demonstrate at the level of our ability to know. – The Science of Mind Glossary
• • • Know – Old English meaning “recognition”

Objectives:

• The power to create lives in you – allow it to use you
• God knows of itself through you
• Demonstrating from your ego nature vs spiritual nature
• These principles are intended to bring about a greater realization of that which you desire.

Keywords/Stories/Points:

• • You are a point of God consciousness – the intersection of divinity and humanity. You are where God comes to know of itself. You are the place and space of self awareness/realization/self-consciousness
• SLIDE: You are where you meet God. You are the time and space continuum in which the activity of Spirit takes place. – Jack Boland
• • This is not a Universe of randomness or chaos – It is highly organized, mathematical and orderly.
• SLIDE: The road to freedom lies, not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of Nature’s forces and laws. The Law of Mind is a natural law in the spiritual world. – The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes p. 31
• • • The Creative Process
• SLIDE: SPIRIT>SOUL>BODY
• • Thoughts+Feelings=Beliefs
    • What is living in the atmosphere/subconscious of your mind?
• SLIDE: We are all immersed in the atmosphere of our own thinking, which is the direct result of all we have ever said, thought or done. This decides what is to take place in our lives. Thought attracts what is like itself and repels what is unlike. We are drawn toward those things which we mentally image. Most of the inner processes of our thought have been unconscious, but when we understand the Law, we learn to consciously embody what we wish, and think of this only, and then we are drawn silently toward it. – The Science of Mind p. 142

God/Spirit/Life is known by way of demonstration.

• • There’s too much (insert your name here) and not enough you. Understand the distinction between your personality and your essence. Let your essence lead the dance with your personality. Not the other way around.
• SLIDE: I can do nothing of myself. – John 5:30
• • • • Myself – The ego nature; the sleepy state of personality; the material self
• SLIDE: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13
• • • Christ – The I AM presence; my spiritual nature; higher Self

Summary:

• God is known by way of demonstration
• If we are not in an active and felt relationship with our spiritual nature, the I AM presence we are operating within a limited context of this Universe
• Remain in an active practice of calling forward the life and the world you desire
• Be sober as to what thoughts, feelings and beliefs are inhibiting the realization of Love, Joy, Peace, Freedom, Abundance through you

Closing:
