Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class Discourse 47, which is an early class and was published in Volume 1 of The Living Light Dialogue, as well as in The Living Light book. This week's quote contains the entire class.
"Greetings, friends. Again we are pleased to bring to your world a bit of our understanding. At this time we are discussing the art of loving, the way of living.
As you will recall, there has been mention of the second faculty of being known as faith, poise, and humility. When the gates of humility are opened, Divine Love flows unobstructed. When we gravitate in our thought, our actions, unto that second faculty, we become the instruments through which the Divine Intelligence, known as Love, doth flow. We then experience this great power that is expressing through all creation. In so doing we become in tune and attract to us through this power whatever we set into motion. This feeling of Divine Love is possible for all and is indeed the way of life that we have found at this time. It is not necessarily easy to rise in thought to that level, but it is indeed beneficial and it is the true purpose of our being.
There is nothing in our universes or in yours that is beyond the realm of possibility. As more thought is generated and directed to the Divine, the Divine begins to awaken within our being. Do not underestimate, my children, the power of directed thought for it is the channel, the avenue, through which this great energy, this love, doth flow. Be universal in your thinking and you will become universal in your acts and activities.
The stage or expression in which you are in at present is such a passing moment. What is there in creation that is so important to bind us to the illusion of which in truth is its essence and its substance? Be ever the captain of the ship: be not the ship itself.
Try to flow with me in thought into the great sea of eternity of which we all are but a drop in an ocean of so-called time. It may seem to some that the light is so small and reaching so few. I wish in that thinking you could awaken to another level, to another time, another dimension and see the multitudes who are seeking and be assured, my friends, that that wanders from the source can only in time wander back to it.
Remember that it is energy or love. Be the channels through which it freely flows. Learn to direct it to all life for in truth there is no life in any dimension that we are not a part of.
I know that it is difficult to reeducate the identity system in which you are in. My children, it is such a passing thing. Try to ponder the great truth that you are everything, that everything is you. Does one remove the hand because we think it does not serve the purpose that we desire? Can we ever remove a part of ourselves? In truth we cannot. Therefore the light that is the true you cannot be separated. It is not possible. We can only be in a dream, a delusion, for a time.
You have entered your realm according to divine law and have a purpose to fulfill. Remember the thief of all time. You will only escape through effort. Then let your efforts be daily, and moment by moment, for there is in your dimension but one moment you can capture and that is the eternal moment of now. Whatever it is that you desire to do for the good, do it now. Do it with that thought. Do not see the obstacle known as time for you, my friends, are greater than the illusion of time.
You have the power to set the law into motion. Do it with thought, with feeling and with love, but do it in the moment in which you have power. Do not be deluded by so-called impossibilities. Do not be deluded by what you will do in years to be. Do it now in thought, in feeling, and in love; then in order shall it come into the dimension which you are presently aware of.
Good night.
