Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CQA 54, which will be published very soon in Volume 11 of The Living Light Dialogue.
“Therefore, we look at life and we see there are many different types of flowers. There are many different types of animals. There are many different types of insects. And surely, many varieties of trees and shrubs. And yet, we cannot deny, as reasonable, intelligent beings, we cannot deny that there is an Energy flowing through them, that there is an intelligent Energy, for they have their cycles. They grow. They mature. They age and move on. To be replaced in kind by another generation of flowers and trees and etc. So if we only look at the forms, we see there is a refinement of that flower; it’s now called a hybrid. There is a refinement of that tree. We look only at the form and we see this change over the eons of time on our planet. We see what we judge: there’s a greater refinement. Man is more capable of doing more complex things than before. Man, now, is no longer dependent on striking flint together to start a fire. Man has gone far beyond that, we say, when we look at form and we see what has been accomplished in a physical world.
And yet, even with great scientific advancement and with this phenomenal speed for accomplishment and advancements of technology, we see that they contain within them what we know as good. That they do contain good, would you not agree? And we must then ask our self, What is this that denies nothing, that no form is denied of its very essence to exist? What is this that does not deny us thinking badly or our thinking in what we call good? What is this intelligent Energy? How does it work? For there is no place that we can look and say it is denied, the dandelion in the field. There is no place in the universe that we can look and say some form has been denied this intelligent Energy. So what does this intelligent Energy demonstrate to any intelligent being? It demonstrates total acceptance. It demonstrates that the will or the movement of this infinite, intelligent Energy, this principle of demonstrable goodness that denies nothing, is a total acceptance of everything that it sustains. And there’s nothing it does not sustain.
So what is man’s greatest responsibility? To awaken within his consciousness; to free himself from the bondage of prejudice, which clearly reveals prejudgment based upon ignorance, the lack of effort to thoroughly investigate. Our greatest responsibility to life is to permit our self, by control of our own vehicle called our own mind, to accept the possibility and divine right of all expression throughout the universes. Because we accept the divine right of anything does not mean that we become a part of it. If you accept the divine right of one person to drink a cup of coffee and another to drink a glass of milk, if you accept the divine right of those two people to do that, then you are free from the bondage of prejudgment. And whoever frees themselves from the bondage of prejudice shall awaken within their own consciousness that God or good is everywhere; when we make the effort to see God or good in all things within our self, we will then qualify our self to see it without. And whoever sees the good within, experiences the good or God without and is freed from the bondage of his own ignorance and therefore, truly fulfilling his responsibilities to life.”
