Dear Friends,
This week's quote is 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.
“You I would like to learn something about the Law of Application. How does one best spiritualize one’s thinking?
It’s a very good question. And the question is, How does one best spiritualize their thinking? And I can only say to you the best way that I have found of spiritualizing thinking is to become aware of thought. You see, my friends, so many, they think they’re thinking. Unfortunately, they’re not thinking at all. How many people are consciously aware of the thoughts their minds are entertaining in ten short minutes? They’re not aware. The race has become a robotical race. And by robotical, I mean that we have permitted ourselves, by selling our divine right to creation, we have permitted ourselves to be influenced by whatever thoughts are swimming in the atmosphere. Most of the thoughts that we’re controlled by, they didn’t even originate within our being. We just became receptive to that particular level of awareness and we acted accordingly. We have sold our right to the material world.
And so the best way I know of spiritualizing one’s thinking is to make the moment-by-moment application of awareness of what your thoughts are. If I took a census here at this moment and I asked each student, “Give me a list of your thoughts during the past nine minutes,” I seriously question that there would be 1 percent capable of doing so. Now I do not mean to imply that you do not have awareness. I just mean to say that you have not practiced or applied the Law of Conscious Awareness of what you’re thinking. My friends, whatever we’re thinking, we’re living. Because it’s a thinking world and all of our experiences, they are not caused by anything outside of us. That’s the illusion. They’re caused by the thoughts that we entertain in the course of a day and in the course of a night.”
