Create a Deep Study Methodology to study the revelations:

New Audio! Methodology for a Deep Study Practice – Listen to Patricia Summers as she shares tips on how to engage in an advanced Deep Reading and Deep Listening Practice given to us by the Messenger.

The revelations in the New Message are a multi-level communication. You can gain access to the many layers of this communication by developing a personal methodology for deeper study. You can use the criteria listed below, or create your own criteria to explore, or “map” the contents of a specific revelation, e.g., through writing, through art, through song or another means of deeply engaging with the New Message. A methodology or tool like this may help you recognize, remember and learn more from the experience of reading the revelations and listening to the Voice of the New Message.

Capture anything that comes up for you in reading the revelation as it pertains to the criteria you want to use. Preserve these entries in some way for future reference. For example: use a journal or log dedicated to the revelations for which you have applied this methodology. This practice could help bring greater clarity and order to your studenthood.

Discuss with others the reality of contact with intelligent life:

• Consider any opportunity you may have during The Free School Session, whether in spontaneous conversation or by seeking out interactive environments online, to engage with others regarding the Greater Community.
• Keep a brief record of these encounters and consider sharing what happened, what you experienced or what you realized from these interactions during one of our weekly Saturday School Chats.

Begin a Life Map regarding your experience of the Greater Community:

As the Messenger has often said:

To really know where you are, you have to know where you’ve been.”

Consider and recall where, when and how your interest in contact with intelligent life began and how it developed? Recall those experiences in your life that gave rise to this interest and the need to understand the reality of contact, and map this out chronologically in writing, as a timeline or in whatever fashion you would like.
