Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness CC 32, which was published in Volume 2 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"Our teachings are to be with a thing, person, or place, and never be a part thereof: to be in this world and not to be a part of this world. Now many students have asked, “Well, just exactly what does that mean?” That means, my friends, no matter what experience that you encounter, no matter what you do or don’t do, that you, your spirit, may view the experience from a level of consciousness where peace reigns supreme. Now that level of consciousness is within all human souls and it is possible for all souls to attain. The attainment, however, is reached by the effort to balance our own being. Each person knows what is balance for them. It is not something that someone else has to tell us.
How do we know what is balance for us in our lives? My friends, that is the benefit of the effect of imbalanced desire, which is known as suffering. When we suffer, depending on the extent that we do suffer, we start to awaken within ourselves and we start to reexamine our life and we start to look at our life patterns and see where they have led us to this point in so-called time. And so it is that we are freed from these entrapments, when we make the effort."
In my own studies of these teachings, I have initially found many of the sayings and teachings to be perplexing, but as my studies continued a better understanding has dawned for me. But there are still quite a number of sayings for which I am in the process of awakening to that greater understanding, which is another way of saying they still perplex me.
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.
