Question 3

Explain what a practitioner/client session is to one not familiar with our philosophy.

Answer 3

A practitioner/client session is a one-on-one time of approximately one hour in which the client seeks help with something in their life, and the practitioner provides spiritual coaching and affirmative prayer for healing.

Question 4

“It is the use of a creative power that man has control over, not the thing itself.” How does the practitioner assist another in doing this?

Answer 4

Through redirecting thought from beliefs of limitation to belief in the power of the law of mind; through teaching the power of thought; through spiritual mind treatment.

Question 5

What the law of mind knows in one place, it knows simultaneously and instantly everywhere.” How does this relate to the work of the practitioner?

Answer 5

This is the basis of treatment for others.

Question 6

How does the practitioner experience love and law in the work she/he does?

Answer 6

The practitioner draws inspiration, guidance and a sense of certainty from the Divine Presence, which is love, while speaking his/her conviction into action through the Divine Principle that is law.

Question 7

How do the thoughts contained in the following quotations contribute to establishing rapport with the client?
” ( A ) The practitioner recognizes pure spirit at the center of his/her client’s being. It is God in that person.”
“ ( B ) No matter how impossible any situation may seem or how difficult the solution to any problem may appear, the practitioner holds to the idea that Spirit has no problem, there are no impossible situations.”

Answer 7

( A ) You see the truth in the client. You see the client is God the client is Good.
( B ) In god all things are possible and we will work together to bring a result

Question 8

How would you expand on this statement in the light of establishing rapport?
“When deep calls unto deep, deep will answer deep.”

Answer 8

All wisdom is at the center of the client and the practitioner. One is as deep as the other. The depth of expression is the depth of perception. The practitioner can make clear to the client anything that is clear to him/her. As the practitioner works from a desire to establish good, sound rapport with the client, there is a response from the client at a corresponding level of understanding that contributes to this happening.

Question 9

Is deep rapport always the aim of the practitioner?

Answer 9

Yes and no. Deep rapport establishes freedom and trust, however, carried too far, can lead to bondage; as the client depends on the practitioner, she/he will, “always be seeking external aid, which can become an actual evil.”

Question 10

How can judgment destroy rapport? Give examples

Answer 10

“You are already perfect and the only thing wrong with you is your own false belief.” There is nothing “wrong” with a client and the practitioner should assume them of that, which brings comfort. To judge them as wrong creates separation and destroys rapport.

“You are suffering because you have done this or that or something else.” To set up guilt in the mind of the client creates separation and destroys rapport.

By criticizing the client, by blaming the client, by indicating there is anything “wrong” with the client, or the client’s actions.

Question 11

In your own words, explain why spiritual mind healing is a revelation.

Answer 11

It is a revelation because it is a revealing of the real nature of the client.

Question 12

Why must our search after (for) union with God eventually cease?

Answer 12

Because our unity with God is not absent. It never has been and never will be.
Ya’ll know we are One with God, we are God :0)

Question 13

While listening to the client, to what else should a practitioner be listening?

Answer 13

The practitioner should also be listening to the still small voice within; to the indwelling presence of God speaking Truth. ( intuition ) “Everyone should listen deeply to the Spirit which spontaneously flows through his/her own being. This is adding the Spirit of Truth to the letter of the law.”

Question 14

What is the basis of the statement, “A practitioner speaks with authority”?

Answer 14

The practitioner speaks with authority based on ( two ) fundamental propositions:
(First) “Spirit is present in everything.”
(Second) “Thought responds to thought.”

The statements of the practitioner are spoken with calm assurance that nothing can obstruct the truth. This is not the authority of one mind exercising an influence over another, but rather, the authority of Truth Itself.”

You’re doing good! Keep up the good studying :0)

Question 15

Beyond the human experience of compassion, empathy, comfort, respect, and so on, what is the role of listening in a client session?

Answer 15

The practitioner is also listening for the truth behind the condition the client has presented. He/she is listening for inspiration from the ever-present activity of the Divine Mind. “A case is won or lost in the consciousness of the practitioner . . . the law responds by corresponding to his/her consciousness. His/her use of the law is entirely independent of any existing condition whatsoever. It makes things out of itself. Fact and concept are one and identical.”

Question 16

What is the difference of mental affirmation and spiritual realization?

Answer 16

Mental affirmation limits one to what can be consciously imagined as possible in form. Spiritual realization is a deep embodiment of the Truth that in Good all things are possible – one need not know how and one is not concerned about how it will look. “Mental affirmation readjusts consciousness to a new influx of Life, which spiritual realization opens the flood gates of consciousness and lets through that which knows only the joy of its own self-expression.

Question 17

How does the following quote relate to asking questions in the client session?

“This law (cause and effect) operates on our beliefs as we believe them – not as we hope them to be, but as we actually believe them to be.”

Answer 17

Asking questions can uncover the client’s limiting or false beliefs. This is asking to clear out the rocks, roots, stumps, and debris to prepare a field for stilling and planting.

Question 18

What is the basis of mental conflict?

Answer 18

Mental conflict arises because of the disparity between the original thought patterns in the Mind of God and the conscious and unconscious thought patterns of the individual. “Even though the (individual) is born in a state of spiritual perfection, because we each have a creative mind and because we are individual, we can think independently of the fundamental harmony in the universe.”

You are Amazing Keep up the Good work! :0)

Question 19

How does the work of the psychologist and the practitioner differ? How would this difference affect the intended purpose of asking questions?

Answer 19

The psychologist asks questions to discover the event or experience that is a formation of a limiting belief and then works with the client at the level of the event or experience. The metaphysician is concerned only with the limiting belief so that he/she can reverse it and know the /Truth in his/her own consciousness . . .”if we assume there’s one Mind Principle operating though everyone, we shall see that a practitioner removing a block in his/her own consciousness will at the same time be removing it from the consciousness of is/her patient.”

Question 20

From your resource book reading for the last three classes, how do rapport, listening and asking questions relate to each other?

Answer 20

Facilitating the sharing of information, thought, and feelings to the point where the practitioner is able to “separate the belief from the believer in order to reveal the Truth to the client and demonstrate healing.” This work (rapport, listening, etc., of the practitioner helps to break down race thought and subjective thought patterns because it leads to, thru treatment, a contradiction, a denial and realization of its opposite. The relationship arising from the listening skills sets up a confrontations and contradiction of the hypnosis of race thought, leading to a realization of spiritual Truth.

Question 21

Name three Principles of Truth that serve as tools with which a practitioner works in a practitioner/client session?

Answer 21

• The Kingdom of God is an accomplished fact.

• It is actually done unto us as we believe
• ** You Rock! Keep Studying, Great Job! :0) **

Question 22

Why is it important for the practitioner to keep his/her own consciousness in line with the affirmative side of life?

Answer 22

Because she/he is then able to see through the negativity and recognize the exact opposite, which is the truth about that situation.

Question 23

Explain two ways the practitioner uses the law of cause and effect in spiritual counseling:

Answer 23

1. When he/she recognizes something undesirable, not conditions imposed on his/her client, but as logical, sequential unfoldment of that life.
2. Remembering that the client is immersed in effects, the practitioner only
   works with cause.

Question 24

Does the practitioner assume the responsibility for the healing of the client?

Answer 24

NO. She/he assumes the obligation to do his/her work earnestly, sincerely, and with deep conviction.

Question 25

Does the practitioner have any good use for negativity in the process of spiritual counseling?

Question 30

Answer 30

The first two steps of treatment are the greatest treatment the practitioner could ever do for him/herself.

Question 31

In a powerful treatment, why does the practitioner never speak in the second person (to the client)?

Answer 31

To speak to the client instead of to God within the treatment diminishes the power of the treatment: the intimate connection to God as source is broken, and focus “drops” to the human level.

Question 32

Why is it not in spiritual integrity to make the statement: “Mary is now at peace” in a treatment?

Answer 32

Spiritual integrity says that we cannot know what is happening in another’s consciousness, we cannot make something so in another’s conscious by declaring it, unless that person is willing to accept it; and, all the action during treatment takes place in the consciousness of the one treating.

Question 33

How can the consciousness of the practitioner be empowered, when doing treatment, by the combination of technique and feelings?

Answer 33

This will be a subjective answer, but should include such things as: • A well done, full (step one) treatment gives the practitioner a feeling of the magnificence of God. • A clear (step two) that unites God and the practitioner give the practitioner a feeling of well-being, peace and power. • When (step three) is done well and complete, the image of the desired results is complete and the feeling is one of fulfillment. Each (step builds upon the one previous, and the practitioner’s consciousness is empowered in the process and she/he is confident of the forthcoming demonstration.
