Notes and References 1/14/01 You asked that we talk about preparing for SAT exams this morning and so we did. I refered you to the notebook I gave you in which a number of citations are listed on the subject of exams. It will help you think correctly and give you a steady compass to guide you through the test process. I won’t bother to repeat all the citations we covered in these notes. They are also listed in the Archives section of our Grand and Noble Sunday School class website. In summary, howeve, let me reiterate that the real test is whether you love your true identity enough to bring that person to the test. There are many tests we take aren’t there? Interview, friendships, first dates are all tests of who we are. Some tests, like SATs, measure what we know. Other tests measure what we look like or how fast we run or how well we play an instrument. Others measure how “cool” we are. Do you have a true north to bring to these exams? Or do you take the temperature of the tester and conform to be what they determine you should be. Your true north in taking SATs is the declaration that you are reflection of Mind. The same Mind giving the test is taking the test and is grading the test. “Remember “that you possess sovereign power to think and act rightly and nothing can dispossess you of this heritage”. This kind of reasoning (praying) requires a growing sense of your completeness rather than an accumulation of things (knowledge, friends, money, possessions, etc). Let me remind you of our class about a month ago with the key passage from S&H on page 206: The advancing stages of Christian Science are gained through growth, not accretion; Two other references are helpful in this discussion: The first one deals with what happens when we lose that sense of our individuality and our inherent goodness. It leads to conflicting levels of behavior My 134:8 The second citation is in this week’s lesson. I found a very helpful compass this week at work. It is simple, direct and brings us all back to our true north: Mic 6:8 |
