Reverend Patrick reviews some valuable lessons that we've learned this year. The first book we studied was The Prayer Chest by August Gold where we learned the 3 laws of prayer---Prayer is answered through us; prayer is answered when we listen; prayer is answered when we say yes to everything. Then we dove into a second book, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. In every moment of our lives we are Divinity seeking expression. Next, we read Mastering Life's Energies by Maria Nemeth, where she speaks of marrying the metaphysical with the physical. We need vision and action, attitude balanced with behaviour.
In the next book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, the young man, Santiago, has recurring dreams, chases treasure, goes on a journey, and trusts his intuition. Next, we explored Dr. Eric Butterworth's book, The Universe is Calling, which is all about listening to the conversation and embodying the consciousness. The final book of 2008 was The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. Her six pillars are the same as ours: celebration, circulation, education, service, meditation, and affirmative prayer.
