PURPOSE
The purpose of Divine Science classes is to
awaken the student to his or her inner potential as
a Spiritual Being. The course of study in Divine Science
consists of six classes designed to establish a conscious
relationship with God. This study of metaphysics and
the laws of mind leads to an unfoldment in consciousness.
The classes are sequentially arranged, therefore, the
Basic Principle of Divine Science class must be taken
first as it is the prerequisite to the other five classes.
The Higher Training and Consecration class may be taken
only after all the other classes have been completed.
Basic
Principle of Divine Science
There is no prerequisite to this class.
It is open to all.
This class is the foundation upon which all the
other classes are built. Practical instruction in the
right application of the teaching is given from the
very beginning. It is here that the student's faith
in an ever-present Presence is awakened. Once a year, this class is offered in Spanish.
Meditation
Prerequisite: Basic Principle of Divine
Science
When meditation is presented in a well-defined
and scientific manner, it clearly establishes the difference
between the cosmic and spiritual levels of awareness.
The transcending spiritual meditative process and its
practical application to everyday living are emphasized
throughout the course.
Spiritual
Psychology
Prerequisite: Basic Principle of Divine
Science
Spiritual Psychology teaches the student to reason
about life from the basis of the Omnipresence of God.
In our quest for Truth we learn to look beyond appearances
and to that which is Real and Absolute. Spiritual Psychology
presents the physical, mental and spiritual aspects
of life as an unfolding process that leads to the realizations
that "The father and I are one."
Bible
Mystery and Bible Meaning/Old Testament
Prerequisite: Basic Principle of Divine
Science
When metaphysically examined, the Old Testament
reveals hidden meanings through allegories, parables
and symbolic language. Students discover the Bible as
the story of their own unfoldment and awakens in their
consciousness the Divinity of their own being.
Bible
Mystery and Bible Meaning/New Testament
Prerequisite: Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning/Old
Testament
This class emphasizes the awakening of the Spiritual
nature of man as told through the birth of the Christ.
This one revelation transforms ordinary men and women
into children of God.
Higher
Training and Consecration
Prerequisite: All of the aforementioned
classes
This class stresses the transformation of consciousness
from a sense-awareness of life to a Christ-awareness
of life. It offers the student an opportunity to establish
a Spiritual basis from which to think and live.
The Washington,
DC Church offers the above classes at various times
between September and June. Each class meets for 10
weeks, usually on Sunday at 9:00 am. The current fees
are $65 the first time, $35 to repeat/audit. The Basic
Principle of Divine Science is a prerequisite for all
other classes.
