Week Four onward and upward

Good afternoon and good day to all.
I apologize for not posting Home Study for Week 4, this las week. I have been feeling under the weather, but feel much better now.
I heard you all had a great class last week, and I will be joining you for week 4 class, I can't wait.

I would like to post one of my favorite passages in this last weeks reading assignment. Everyone feel free to post any of your favorites too!

"A good practice is to sit and realize that you are a center of Divine attraction, that all things are coming to you, that the power within is going out and drawing back all that you will ever need. Don't argue about it, just do it, and when you have finished leave it all to the Law, knowing that it will be done. Declare that all life, all love and power are now in your life. Declare that you are now in the midst of plenty. Stick to it even though you may not as yet see the result. It will  work and those who believe the most always get the most. Think of the Law as your friend, always looking out out for your interest. Trust completely in it and it will bring your good to you."

Home Study for Week 3

What a wonderful class! It was such a delight to see everyone, and to read and share ideas from the "Essential Ernest Holmes".   It has left me with a lot to think about.

Here is the homework assignment

1. READING
To prepare for week 2, please read the following:
The Essential Ernest Holmes page 28- the middle of page 55

All the Week 3 material in your Student Workbook, making notes as needed for class discussion.

2. WRITTEN WORK
Create a one-page paper on the subject of Unconscious Invitation, as Ernest describes it on pages 43-44 --or otherwise communicate your sense of this through a musical, visual or poetic representation.
-Respond to study questions drawn from your reading, for discussion next week. (pg 34 of work book)
Much Love, Virginia

Welcome to "The Essential Ernest Holmes" blog

Welcome everyone to our "Essential Ernest Holmes", Blog! 
It is offered as a tool to foster and encourage communication and support to everyone in our class. This is a safe environment where it is encouraged to openly share ideas, insights or any questions that might arise. Much like our first word exercise,  where we took a string of paper and passed it around the room, and each of us wrote a word that came to us, and folded the paper, until it was complete, and in the end as we read our words, a beautiful message emerged. I know that this blog in the ten weeks also captivating our essence, in the string of time, and merging with the essence of  Ernest Holmes, will delight us in the end, with a beautiful message. I look forward to our ten weeks together.
I am tickled to share with you a video of Ernest Holmes!
It is 22 minutes long so set aside some time and give yourself the gift of Ernest Holmes.
