Ideas for studying the Lesson on "Mind" for August 20, 2017

August 12, 2017 Kathy Merrill

Dear Friends,

Possible Main Ideas in each section:  Overall:  "the mind of Christ" and ONE MIND!! 

I -- ONE MIND

II -- no strange gods, no minds many, ALL IS MIND!

III -- healing of Gadarene:  ONE MIND (not legion)

IV -- Healing of epileptic: no brain, nerves, no involuntary action

V -- strong man's house:  handle belief of mortal mind

VI -- We have the MIND OF CHRIST!

__________

Attributes and Qualities of "Mind"

In the periodicals, there are numerous articles on "the Mind of Christ" but here are two very strong ones:

"The Mind of Christ," Eva Phipps Cook, Jan. 25, 1964, CSS

"Watching and Praying for the Mind of Christ," Carolyn B. Swan, August 22, 1983, CSS

__________

Idea for studying the concept of "Mind." Sometimes it is helpful to take a portion of S&H and spread it out in Concord and Word, and then go through that section looking up every word, explaining what something is, what it does, what it frees us from, writing treatments using the ideas, and also seeing all the biblical connections. It is just a way to see a concept we are familiar with in a whole new light. Here is the question in S&H 469, "What is Mind?" 

I'm sharing this with you as an example. You might make a blank copy of something, and fill in the blanks yourself with your own insights. This is my beginning study on this question, "What is Mind?" Hope it is helpful as we all learn how to study more deeply!

Ideas to study "The Scientific Statement of Being" more deeply:

If you are on JSHonline, go to the Record for Truth and listen to Lawrence Doyle's podcast on "the scientific statement of being." It is really good!

___

One way to think more deeply about "the scientific statement"  is to spread it out on a page, and look up everything you can think of, and write out what that might mean. Here is a sample of something I work on with it quite a bit. But know these are just my own notes.

Kathy's amplification of the SSof/B

 Quote from Edward Norwood, a student of Mrs. Eddy's, on the SSofB.
