Discuss your understanding of the difference between blame and personal responsibility.
  1. Blame is usually associated with cause and effect of a false conclusion, usually towards others. It is victimhood of Kingdom I.. It is disempowering and can’t be fixed. It often appears as separation and judgment. Personal Responsibility is taking responsibility for your actions and accepting the consequences that occur from those actions. It allows change to happen through choice and accountability.
In the Science of Mind do we deny a circumstance to know the Truth?
No, Form is not an illusion even when it is the form of disease, it then represents a false conclusion, but is as real as it is suppose to be.”
If God is all there is, how does Science of Mind and Spirit explain cancer,child abuse, disease.
All manifestation , all body is an effect, and is subject to a cause, and what is seen comes from things which are not sen. To say that God is not in these things is to say that there is something other than God. God Is Everywhere Present Always. SOMAS teaches that these 'things' are effects of Law manifesting according to a false belief. There is a Power in the Universe for Good and we can use the Law of Principle to create more Good and to change our circumstances. God is always Present, even when not cognizant of IT. That inside everyone one is the Divine Spark of God that can never be hurt, and is always Whole, Perfect and Complete. We understand that we all have a role in our journey and are co-creators of the conditions of our lives.

Release and Replace. SOM P 183.2 Thought which is built upon a realization of the Divine Presence has the power to neutralize negative thought, to erase it just as light has the power to overcome darkness.
Explain Core concept 3. Without the use of Jargon..
Spirit is the great causitive power. The word of God initiates the great creative Process. In this Process Law is continuously set in motion to create from unformed substance, inumerable forms which follow the thought patterns of spirit. Since the human spirit is one with the universal spirit all hunman thought merges with the One Mind and initiates the creative process.

In the Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes said, “Man must become more if he wishes to draw a greater good into his life.” What is meant by this statement and how does this work?
  1. SOM P 267 We attract to ourselves that which is like our thought, We provide the mold for the Creative Law (our thought) and unless the mold is increased Substance cannot increase in our experience.
