We feel connected and experience our greatest potential when we have mentors and are mentors to each other.
When we pray in groups---do spiritual mind treatment together---we maximize our impact, in particular when we harmoniously treat for a higher state of consciousness.
An essay by Ernest Holmes, the founder of our New Thought movement, inspires us to pray not for things, for individuals, or solutions to problems, but to pray for the greater good, for the group, for a higher consciousness. Our consciousness must change first before we can affect our lives, otherwise we are hopelessly affirming and denying that anything is wrong.
"When a group of people come together with one accord and one thought, a greater power is generated, not because the creative power responds to a number of people more than it does to one, but because the combined faith of a group reaches a higher level of acceptance, and therefore group spiritual mind treatment should be definitely performed with the purpose in mind of arriving at a deeper conviction." -- Ernest Holmes
We grow the most when we mentor others and seek out the mentorship of others, when we see the face of God in others and acknowledge it in ourselves.
