Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness CC 195, which was published in Volume 7 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"As we come to the conclusion of this semester, in the few weeks ahead, let us make a choice. Let us choose the greatness and the goodness of life. Let us not choose it once, for once is not enough. For we have chosen the opposite so many times. Let us choose the greatness and goodness and the fullness of life. Let us choose it each and every moment again and again and again and again, that we may live in a world and experience the demonstrable truth of the very philosophy that we study. For that, my friends, is the application thereof.
No greater service can you do to yourself, to this philosophy, to truth, and to the world in which you live and the worlds of which you are yet to be consciously aware, no greater good can you do than apply the philosophy that you are studying, that works beyond a shadow of any doubt the moment you choose it to work. It teaches the freedom from want, need, and desire. It teaches the abundant goodness of life. Do yourself, my students, that service. That is your birthright. That is your birthright.
The thoughts that dictate the opposite are not what this philosophy is all about.
Demonstrate what you study. Demonstrate it every moment of your life. Declare your right to the fulfillment of your own being that you may go forth in the world the living demonstration of truth, that in the midst of the Philistines you declare the truth, “I accept the personal responsibility of my thought. I accept the personal responsibility of my experience. For it is my experience. The cause is not another. The cause is not the world, for I am the world. I and I alone am the cause and the cure.” Accept that truth, in that moment, ye shall be transformed. And to remain transformed into the fullness of life, repeat the truth until no other thought floods your consciousness and you will be the living demonstration of an abundant goodness, known as God."
Some of these weekly quotes are selected to highlight a specific teaching. Others are selected in response to experiences in my life and levels of consciousness that I am in the process of growing through. And still others are selected in response to questions from the members of this group. But this week's quote was selected because I just really like to tone of the passage. It seems to me to capture the very essence of this philosophy. understanding, which is another way of saying they still perplex me.
