Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 152, which was published in Volume 6 of The Living Light Dialogue.
“The basic teachings in our philosophy, repeated so often—for repetition is the instrument through which change takes place—our basic teachings are that like attracts like and becomes the Law of Attachment. And so it is that you have that power within you to attract and attach yourselves to things that are successful and beneficial for you—or to its opposite.
The very basic foundation of this philosophy is that whatever happens to us is indeed caused by us. And not until that divine truth is fully accepted in our consciousness will we be free from the flow and fluctuations of creation. As long as we permit our minds to dictate to us that someone else is causing us disturbance, that someone else is making us miserable; as long as we are interested in what other people are doing in this world, we will not find ourselves.
So let us think and think more deeply what we’re doing to ourselves. Is our intolerance so valuable to us that we must suffer by denying the rights of expression of other people? Are we, as individualized souls, so illumined that we know how other people should act, should think, and should talk? If we have fallen into that false light of illusion, then we will guarantee all of the suffering necessary to free us from that pit and that disaster. So let us not look at suffering in life, if we’re having some—and everyone bears their own cross. The cross, of course, being our own errors of ignorance. So let us not look at those crosses that we bear with such grief and sorrow. But let us look at them as revelations, revealing to us what we’re doing to ourselves.”
