The Touch of Class March 11, 2013 Issue

The way will open

D' Onna Price

At one time I was active in a healing practice in another denomination, but you could say I was also “circling” Christian Science for over 30 years. At various times I was lovingly mentored by several Christian Science teachers and practitioners, each of whom played a unique role in my spiritual unfoldment. At one point the time seemed perfect for me to take Primary class instruction. I thought I had found the teacher from whom I would take class, but I stopped while preparing to fax in the necessary application. I listened to God and received a gentle but firm, “No.”

Feeling dismayed, I contacted that individual. He graciously said he understood, but I felt a bit irritated. Wasn’t I supposed to take class with him? I again listened, and was led by the Holy Spirit to look online—something I truly did not like to do! I found an archived recording of a talk given at a Christian Science nursing facility. The topic: “Communicating the message of the Comforter.” The speaker was a Christian Science teacher, and after listening to the talk, I felt I should contact him. This teacher assured me of his support, but I told him I was very concerned about being able to pay for class and related expenses as well as being able to make travel arrangements.

The teacher’s confirmation that we are all ongoing students of the Holy Spirit
motivated me to commit to his class. I continued to listen and pray, and dove into all the preparatory work. But as time went on, I had to let him know that neither the money issue nor the way there nor lodging during class had been resolved. I was again gently assured the way would open.
