The Sabian Thesaurus

 

August, 2004 – Number 806

 

Each month, students are invited select one sentence from the Blue Letter, Philosophy and Bible lessons from the sets in the previous month which they have found to be especially meaningful. These selections are included when the next set of monthly lessons are mailed. It is extraordinary to see how many of the selections match each other, and instructive as to where lies the focus of the consciousness.

 

Here are the selections for the month of August, 2004, as well as a selection from the Thesaurus fifteen year ago. It is possible that these selections, and the lessons from which they are taken, may also speak to you.
