Ernest Holmes said that a practitioner of Religious Science must be filled with the spirit of Divine Compassion and have “. . . a deep, underlying sense of unity and sympathy …” Of course, all who use the principles of Science of Mind are practitioners of this powerful philosophy. We know that our work is far more than speaking certain words and using the Law of Mind for healthy enterprises. The spiritual mind treatments must come from the heart, embracing, embodying, and employing that empathy for others as the generator of our practice.
When Dr. Holmes refers to “sympathy,” he truly means “empathy,” which is connecting with others in a real sense of oneness, not entering into or identifying with another’s suffering. It is through Compassion that we are able truly to be with that beloved and keep the High Watch, rather than becoming submerged in the temporary challenge. We all have this Divine Power. and we benefit everyone, including ourselves, when we employ It.
This Sunday, we will NOT have access to UCCVF and will, instead, meet at 1:00 P.M. at the AVE Apartment Complex Clubhouse at 311 E. Lancaster Ave., Malvern, PA 19355. We are just one signal light west of Paoli Hospital and will meet in the cozy upstairs room. Come in the front door, help yourself to a beverage, and join us upstairs. Afterwards, those of us who have registered will enjoy an outing in Oaks at the American Treasure Museum from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. If you are out of the area, please be with us for our Celebration by tuning in after 4:00 P.M. ET by going to our ‘orange “Watch” button on our website: www.cslphilly.org as we address, “The Greatest Power is Ours.”
My 8-week class, “The Mystical Path,” begins tonight, May 13th on Zoom, from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M. We will meet four Tuesdays in a row, have a short break on May 10th, then resume an additional four Tuesdays, concluding on July 8th. You may still register and be sure to order your materials asap.
