Dear Friends,
This week's quote is again from spiritual awareness class CC 11, which was published in Volume 1 of The Living Light Dialogue. This quote begins with a student's question, which is italicized. In most of Serenity's publications, words spoken by students are italicized, while words spoken by the teacher are in roman font.
“How do we perceive truth?
Through the soul faculties. It is the soul that knows truth, that is truth. It is not the mind: it is not the intellect. The mind and the intellect serve a very good purpose. But its very nature is to conceive; so it’s constantly conceiving new things, constantly adding and subtracting. And in this constant exchange that takes place in the intellect, we have this delusion.
So we seek truth with our heart, because that’s where our soul is. My good friends, truth is not something you read in a book. It is not something that your ears hear. It is not something that your eyes see. It is not something that your hands feel. It is something that your soul knows. And this is why these classes are designed to help you to help yourself to think, to think more deeply. You have the divine right to truth because there is a part of you—of all things—that is truth. It doesn’t have to be told. We’re not telling you how to think in awareness classes and we’re not telling you what to think. We are sharing with you a certain path, which, if you apply, demonstration has proven the student will find truth. When we find truth, we respect the rights of all individuals, of all expression, because that is what truth does. Remember, truth is everywhere. It wears many garments and deceives the wisest minds of men.”
