Whenever we study, seeking truth is our purpose. Once we find a morsel of truth, then our next goal is to demonstrate it, prove it by living it. 2. How are we thinking about anything that we're confronted with? The way we think about it is going to determine our view, & that's going to determine whether it's a positive or a negative for our experience. 3. Something that appears to be negative can be flipped to be positive if we accept it as a challenge to understand Christian Science better & grow from the experience. We need to always be alert to be sure of what we are viewing is good or evil. If it is evil we need to flip it to see what is good. For Example: If a sports team is playing in a competition & they're getting beaten badly, you will find the coach will be discussing not whether they are ahead or behind but whether they are playing in accordance to the principles of the game. 4. What are the principles of any project we are involved in? It is between us & the principle of ...what we are doing & no one else is involved. 5. When we study, we seek the truth. We seek the principle, & we apply the truth to the principle to formulate the model in our thought of how we should be living our life. If we do that, we will be able to demonstrate that it is true. And then we will be able to grow by it. We will increase our confidence because we've gained something new to add to our reservoir of consciousness that we know to be true. 6. Mary Baker Eddy gives us a number of references on the word cross & they all have a central theme. That is what we need to take up the cross as Jesus did, & not try to ignore it, but to face it head on. 7. CROSS ~ It's a symbol of materialism, any kind of un-God-like activity. 8. She says, take it up & bear it. We have to face it & solve the problem. If we ignore it, it will grow & become more difficult to see its nothingness. 9. It's much easier to face the evil & solve when it's small. So at the very onset of any problem, that is when we attack it. 10. Jesus was not meek when he was dealing with evil. He was very aggressive. There was no doubt in his thought about what he needed to do or say. He did it with great force. 11. Mary Baker Eddy tells us that we are to guard our door of thought as if it was a door in our house to protect us from thieves & murderers. That's exactly what evil is. It tries to steal the goodness from our consciousness, & it tries to kill any good thought we have.Read more
