Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class A/V CP 28, which will be published in Volume 15 of The Living Light Dialogue. This quote begins with a question from a student. Also, the annual drawing is open and I invite everyone to enter, and for information on that, please see below.
"Thank you. What would cause a person to hesitate?"
"Well, there are many things that cause a person to hesitate. One of the most common things, in reference to a person hesitating, is the whispering, the so-called echoes of the past in their consciousness: experiences. For example, a person has many experiences, and when a person hesitates, they are listening—there’s a difference between hesitation and pause. When a person hesitates in something that they want to do, the hesitation reveals to them that the various judgments in control at the time are making sure in the mental realm that it will in no way interfere with their own selfish needs. And so a wise person pauses to contemplate, and a person controlled by their mental realm and their emotion hesitates and becomes extremely frustrated."
I apologize for the delay of this email. There were some technical difficulties that, hopefully, have been resolved. I would like to thank all of you who emailed to alert us. If the technical issues are all resolved, the weekly emails will return to thier usual schedule.
I am pleased to announce the annual drawing to commemorate the birth and the passing on of the founder of Serenity, Mr. Richard Goodwin is open. The prizes for the drawing are 5 copies of Volume 1 of The Living Light Dialogue. That is, there will be 5 winners and each winner will be mailed a copy of Volume 1. The drawing will close on February 28, 2019. All are welcomed to enter---just respond to any of the weekly emails saying that you would like to enter. There is no cost to enter. The expense associated with purchasing and mailing the volumes is covered by donations from the members and friends of Serenity. In order to be fair, only one entry per email address will be allowed. In the first week of March, the winners will be drawn. The winners will then be notified by email and asked to provide a mailing address so that their copy of Volume 1 can be mailed to him or her. If a winner does not provide a mailing address in a timely manner, a new name will be drawn. If the winner of the drawing already has Volume 1, then he or she may choose any other published volume. As soon as all copies have been mailed to the winners, their names and countries of residence will be announced in this weekly email. This drawing is being sponsored in order to make these beautiful teachings more available to those who are seeking. And I think this is a beautiful way to honor and commemorate Mr. Goodwin.
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.
