Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class A/V Seminar 24, which will be published in Volume 13 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"Frustration is an unpleasant experience in the mind, the effect of a judgment that what we depend upon we cannot control. And so once realizing and awakening to whatever it is we have chosen to depend upon and cannot control, then wisdom reveals that we change our dependence, the effect of which, of course, is a freedom from dependence.
For that which disturbs us, of course, controls us. But what is that control and that disturbance? It is the bondage of the error of ignorance of our own dependence. The best way, and the only way that works, is for one to face their temptations, for the temptations, once faced, reveal, of course, one’s own dependence.
There is no limit to the things that the mind can and does choose to be dependent upon. Each time a person realizes and accepts that the true cause of their frustrations in life is an error in their own thinking, a dependence and a bondage, each time that is realized and accepted, one makes another step onward and upward on the path of freedom."
I am very happy to announce that Volume 11 of The Living Light Dialogue has been published and is now available on Amazon, Serenity's website, and it may be ordered from your local bookstore. It contains 33 classes all of which are from the CQA series, which were question-and-answer exchanges between Mr. Goodwin and various members of the congregation of the Serenity Spiritualist Church. As you can imagine, a wide variety of topics were discussed, and because people who were not Mr. Goodwin's students were able to ask questions, many consider these classes to be very accessible to people who are new to this philosophy. Volume 11 will make an excellent addition to your personal collection of spiritual books.
For those who are new to Serenity, you will find recent quotes on Serenity's Facebook Fanpage and that is also where you can join students of the Living Light from around the world to ask questions and share your understanding. I hope you will join the conversation.
If you have any topics you would like addressed in these weekly emails, please feel free to email your request.
