Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 157, which was published in Volume 6 of The Living Light Dialogue.
“For we have stated to you some time ago that that—whatever it be—you give thought to, you give power over you. This is the reason that we have, over these years, tried to encourage you to give thought to peace. For in the power of peace, which is known as God, there is no control, for there is no desire; there is no self-interest. There is only divine neutrality. As you give your thought—and it is a constant process. Give it to peace, for there is your true being.
The path of nonresistance is the path that will free you. But you must first, through your own evolution, gain the wisdom, through understanding, that you are not all the things of the created mind. And being not those things, you have nothing, no thing, to defend. Truth needs no defense. And so, my good students, when you are in the light of truth, there is no resistance, for there’s nothing to defend. In that level of consciousness, you speak your word forth into the universe, knowing that it shall not come back to you void, but accomplish that which you send it to do.
It is the very purpose of this philosophy to help you, in helping yourselves, to awaken that level of consciousness within you that you may stand on principle, peacefully and joyfully, knowing that whatever the mind is registering at any moment is in the very process of passing.
What is it that we permit our minds to fight so hard and so difficult for? Because we are yet to separate ourselves from our minds. We must step outside of the vehicle. And we do that in the moment that we pause. That’s when we stop for a moment and that is when we awaken.”
