Divine Love, we are grateful for this gathering of your special
candles in this marvelous space with our wonderful host. If
there are any thoughts or actions from the beginning of time
that have blocked Unconditional Love from the perfect
manifestation of this meeting:
I Am Sorry ( for all blockages Divine Energy known or unknown)
Please Forgive me ( allow me to forgive myself for any blockage
to the Divine Energy of God)
Thank you ( thank you God for the solutions already being here
for any life situations that I define as problems or
situations I don't prefer.)
I Love You ( I love me meaning the Divine Essence of God in every
one of my cells, I Love Me every part of my human form the more
I love this universal definition of me the more I am able to
share the energy of unconditional love in all. I also recognize
that however I feel about another I also feel about myself. )

Recognizes Honors and sends

Imaging Guidance
"You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace, joy and light. You are forgiveness, strength and courage, a helper in time of need a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in time of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth, the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are all these things." ---Conversations With God
I Am That, I Am
"The I Am is the same in all men and all women. It is without limit in it's capacity to express the potentialities of God." Charles Fillmore
" When your thoughts are steadfast, begin to speak them as truths. Say them out loud. Use the great command that calls forth creative power - I Am. Whatever you think, whatever you say, I Am is the strongest creative statement in the Universe and sets into motion those experiences, calls them forth and brings them to you."
---Conversations With God
I Am That, I Am ... Group Exercise.
Break
Discussion of Workbook Questions
Soul Talk:
Group reflection: " I accept the gift that lies within every challenge in my life."
Stepping Stone:
Practice observing your responses to all the experiences in your life. Practice this every day. Don't try to change anything, just notice. Don't analyze or judge yourself; just observe your responses to the various experiences in your daily life. Record your observations in your journal
Soul Thoughts
1. Am I willing to turn to God for help and to surrender to God's direction for my life? Related...how do we do that?
2. Am I taking responsibility for my response to the condition? What are other possible responses.
3. Am I willing to take responsibility for my part in the healing process? What do I see as my responsibility in this healing process?
4. Am I open to the possibility of a blessing, a gift, a "pearl" within this challenge? How might I open my awareness to that possibility.
5. How can we shift our focus from conditions that we may not prefer to what is possible given our individual pure potentiality?
What I Am Focused On:
I am devoting energy to being in the now and imaging the future as my intended pure potentiality which begins this second. I am reflecting on The Gap and considering solutions for us moving past all the questions and reflection on issues. I believe we are intended to be in bliss. I am intending to be there all the time.
Assignment:
Next week we will encourage presentations of successfully accepting, being grateful for and moving past significant challenges.
Ending Prayer: This will be led by Kerry.
Next Week: Responsibility
We are candles of the Sun. We are of God and are here for God to experience life through us. God is wholeness and so are we. We are one. This is about allowing ourselves to be who we already are...individual manifestations of God. ..Steve Pohlit 9-4-08
