Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from ACP 24, which will be published in Volume 15 of The Living Light Dialogue. This quote starts with a question from a student.
“'Thank you. When looking at our videos, we see things clearer through the eye of the camera because the camera is not clouded by judgments. Is there a way that this same principle can help us in listening and learning what is truly being said?'
Yes, indeed there is. And that effort has to be made repeatedly, daily, to declare the truth: “I am the creator of the thought. I am not the thought.” For it is from the belief that you are the thought that the thought patterns become solidified and you experience what is known as judgments. Judgments are the censors, the mist that stands between your sight and what is, between your hearing and what is. This is why it is so difficult for people to hear, to listen, to truly understand, for the censorship of past experiences, known as judgments, adversities, prejudgments, which you understand as prejudice, is ever present unless the effort is made. At the moment you wish to see something, close your eyes. [If] you want to see something physically, first close your eyes and accept what you are. Gain control over the temptation of believing what you are. Accept what you are. You are the pure, intelligent, eternal Light. That is what you are. Declare that truth. Open your eyes and for a moment at least you will see clearly, as the eye of the camera sees clearly when it is not obstructed by dust, dust on its lenses or dirt.
So, you see, when you want to hear, to hear without censorship, then you must clean the dust and the dirt that is over your consciousness. The dust and the dirt being the judgments and the forms of past experiences.”
