Dear Friends,
Recently a member of this group requested more quotes about God. So here are a few quotes from various classes of the Living Light Philosophy that provide insight into our understanding of God.
From Discourse 16:
“I listened with great attention to your discussion earlier and it has been and is the teaching from our realm that this so‑called God or Infinite Divine Intelligence is a neutral, impartial power everywhere present, never absent or away. We find that when we take all thought, all decision, to the faculty of reason, there is this divine neutral energy directed either into the functions or the faculties. The choice, my good fellow students, is ever and forever within you.”
From Discourse 39:
“I have said long ago that I have come to dedicate, not to dictate; and I shall ever try to remain the servant because those who ever seek to be in front destroy themselves in the illusion of their creation. He who serves is served by the greatest servant of all. My children, God is not a master. God, the Infinite Intelligence, the Divine Love, is the servant.”
From CL 22:
“God is not a judge, as we all know, that sits on a throne and tells us of our errors and of our omissions and transmissions, that is not the God that is understood by the Serenity Association. But we do understand a Divine power, a Divine love, that is without lack, that is without limit, that is ever available to us, that the only obstacle to its full expression is the limitation our of own thought. So let us, friends, expand our consciousness, broaden our horizon, and fulfill the true purpose of our being.”
From CC 159:
“It is the will of the Divine that holds all things in space. It is the will of the Divine that sustains any thought that we choose to entertain in our mind. We are constantly making the choice. Our God is a great God, for our God sustains whatever we choose to think. Think of that, my students. How impartial! What a great servant is ever, ever with us, around us, and about us. No matter what we choose to think or to do, this intelligent energy sustains and supports our endeavors. Therefore, it is not God, this intelligence, that fails. It is not God that moves us. It is God that sustains whatever we choose to do.
If you choose to entertain negative and self-destructive thoughts, this God of the universes will sustain your right to that negative, self-destructive thought. Do not pray to God to be free from your negativity. Simply pause in your thinking and become aware of how negative and how often you entertain those thoughts.”
For those who are new to Serenity, you will find recent quotes on Serenity's Facebook Fanpage and that is also where you can join students of the Living Light from around the world to ask questions and share your understanding. I hope you will join the conversation.
If you have any questions or topics you would like addressed in these weekly emails, please feel free to email your request.
