Changes

Aaron(Bill): Greetings dear friends, I am Aaron. I must say you have greatly impressed your teachers, your older brothers and sisters, with your [[maturity]] and straightforwardness this evening. We do not [[feel]] that this group is lagging in [[spiritual growth]], but is experiencing differential levels which are particular to each [[individual]]. In a way it is impossible to delineate a group average that has any [[meaning]], and yet, there is a sense of [[the whole]] that is greater than the summation of the parts.

This [[dichotomy]] of [[individual]] and [[group]], of part and whole, of the [[individual]] within the [[system]], is an understanding that you are gaining directly from your own personal [[experience]] from within and from the interactional aspects of your [[environment]]. Indeed it has been already [[transmitted]] that we are going to shift the [[focus]] now from [[the whole]] back to the parts, but in this digression from the whole, do not be [[confused]] that in our new emphasis on individuality that we are losing sight of the larger [[perspective]]. No, we will not retrogress, but progress with an emphasis change.

I am tempted, but will not succumb, to continue [[lecturing]] you. I have said sufficient. We are all up to the challenge, my friends, and I welcome you to this next phase. That is all.

Minearisa(Cathy): This is Minearisa. You have all done well at your self [[forgiveness]] [[exercise]] and now it is time to begin an exercise which involves forgiveness of others. My exercise for you this evening, and I will release this t/r to [[participate]], is to visualize a person with whom you have unfinished business. I would like you to visualize them in the center of the room where the microphone stands. Look at the details of that person, their hair, their clothing, etc., to firmly plant in your [[mind]] resemblances of that person. At that point I would like for you to look at this image you have created and to [[express]] [[honest]] [[feelings]] toward them, be it something they have done to hurt you or something you have done to hurt them. We are not asking for complete [[resolution]] at this time. This will follow in further lessons. The point here is to identify something which is unresolved between you. This person does not have to be living at this time. It can be someone from your [[past]] who has graduated. I [[encourage]] each to participate, but remember there is no [[disappointment]] on our side if you choose to remain an [[observer]]. Please begin.

Lori: Does it help that as a [[parent]] I had really worked on not being [[angry]] with my children, but with the [[act]], the [[behavior]]. So I do feel really grounded, able to [[separate]], because I've been doing that for six years.

Virginia: I hear all of this and I [[believe]] that you can accept that person and that's going to help you to [[forgive]], but I also believe [[Jesus]] was a model for us. Going back to what Marty said about how far do you go in [[exposing]] yourself to that person again and is it going to be the same thing, can't help but [[think]] of Jesus when the person of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] came up and Jesus called him "That fox" because Herod had not been true when Jesus was asking for the money that he owed his father [[Joseph]]. I think we don't have to expose ourselves to that continual [[negativity]] that you're working on to [[forgive]].

Cathy: Well I [[expected]] to see my dad out there because I've been having a lot of bad [[feelings]] about my dad lately but it's my mom. And I guess what I want to say to her is that I'm still so angry at you for dying. You died too early because you smoked those @&$#=* cigarettes and [[damn]] it, I needed you this week.
