Group Meeting Guidelines

Make it clear to your group members that everyone in the group should have a chance to voice their thoughts, so each speaker should be allowed to speak about three or four minutes. Tell your group that anyone who talks longer will be holding up the work.

➤  Tell them that the group has met to discuss the true meaning of important passages of Christ’s Letters. Each person should give their interpretation.

➤  It is permissible to share personal reactions – belief – disbelief, and why they feel that way.

➤  It is not permissible to introduce other beliefs from other teachings. Nothing is ever gained from this and can irritate other group members. Emphasize that focus must be on the script.

➤  At the beginning of each session tell the group you will be concentrating on a certain section of a Letter. Read the whole sequence first and then return and study paragraphs in detail.

➤  At the end of the session, tell your group what you will be studying next time.

➤  It will be made more interesting if you talk about any extended reading you feel would be helpful which will fill out some of the statements made by Christ. Some very instructive and interesting work can be done on the section in Letter 1 where Jesus perceives that the nature of the Creator is Growth, Nutrition, etc. The more deeply you study the dynamics of the physical system, the more amazing do the physical processes become.
I am sure that other ideas will come to you as you start off with this ground plan.

I would like to add that very interesting Group Meetings are in progress and people are reporting a real deepening of their understanding of the Letters. (This is true of Spain.) This is because there are distinct guidelines [see below] for conducting such Groups.

Christ Says:

“I urge you to meet together on a Sunday to speak of your many blessings, give sincere wholehearted thanks and raise your minds in praise of That Which has given you Being. Meditate together to draw Divine Consciousness through your minds into world consciousness that the Nature of Divine may, more and more, imbue the nature of the world psyche with Its own transcendent Love.

“Your groups will emit spiritual consciousness energy which will influence mind energies around you.” – Extract from Letter 9 –

The meeting should be organized as follows:

Before entering the meditation/meeting room, please set apart at least five minutes for an inner preparation, entering into a state of inner peace and harmony, so that you can arrive to the meeting wearing a ‘dress’ of Unconditional Love.

Please understand that it’s important to be aware that you are entering a “sacred room”. In fact, we are about to celebrate our connection with the “Letters”, giving thanks to Divine Consciousness, and gathering all together to live and study “Christ’s Letters”, and to draw Divine Consciousness in our own consciousness and on the earth. Inside the meeting room there should be a coordinator. He/she is the person who has been chosen to guide the meeting through their voice, nothing more. There may be more than one coordinator, if necessary.

At the beginning of the meeting, the coordinator will read the text previously chosen for the occasion. As it is being read, you can relax and let the words enter your heart and illumine your being.

The coordinator will then guide you briefly into a meditative state and read the ‘Father-Mother-Life’ prayer, as it was taught to us by Christ in Letter 8 (see pg. 6 below). If you wish, you can read again what the Christ teaches about “How to Meditate” (see pg. 7 below).

During the meditation, reach out with passion from within, drawing Divine Consciousness into your mind and heart so that the Nature of Divine Consciousness may, more and more, imbue your consciousness and the nature of the world psyche around you with its Transcendent Love.

The meditation will last about 20 minutes, during which there will be a deep silence, and it will end with the reading of the Affirmation for the New Era of Love and Peace. (see pg. 13 below)

Then there is about 20 – 30 minutes for sharing. If you want to share, please ‘raise’ your hand.

The coordinator will then open your microphones. This is the moment to share your blessings, what was your experience, what did you receive or give, or some insight you gained, even regarding the passage read during the meeting.

If you don’t have a microphone, or don’t feel like speaking, please use the chat box.

Some brief yet important instructions: On a video conference it is important to use a headset or earbuds to eliminate audio feedback. If you must use your computer audio, have your microphone muted until you speak.

One simple, yet important, request:

We need volunteers. Each one of you can conduct a meeting to allow the opportunity to have more people participating on Sunday.

We thank you for joining in!

With profound brotherly love,
The Coordinators of “Christ’s Way Meetings”, Christ’s Workers
