Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from class CL 26, which was published in Volume 9 of The Living Light Dialogue.
“And so it is, in all our getting, we seek to get understanding. Not understanding of people and things in a world of experience, but understanding of our own divinity. But that understanding is not something that you’re going to gain from reading a book or talking to another person. It is something that you are going to awaken to when you make the effort to find God.
I know that the word "God" is not readily accepted in the materialistic age in which we are living. And it is indeed, at least to me, understandable why, in this world today, the word "God" seems to repulse so many. My friends, it is very simple. Too many words and too much writing has been given to the world in the name of God. Consequently, we see around the land a great division in the thinking of the human being. But let us try, at least, and consider that there is something inside of us that has always been; there is something inside of us that will always be, that the Spiritualists call Infinite Intelligence. If we do not, at least, consider in our life at some time the possibility of eternal expression of consciousness, then there is no reason for us to struggle another day. Why bother to go through the trials and tribulations that beset us in creation, if there is not something better that we can attain? And if that something better that we seek to attain is not eternal, then why bother, my friends, to seek it in the first place? That is known, to me, as God.”
