Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness CC 38, which was published in Volume 2 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"At times, Now any time you have a class or a course of awareness, it is not going to be pleasing to certain levels of consciousness, because we have to face ourselves, if we truly want to grow and to be free and to fulfill the purpose of our soul entering this earth realm. Now there are many ways, and we have discussed before the multitude of ways that our mind will use in order to gain the attention or the energy, which, of course, is the love that we are seeking. But a path is shown through this course whereby you may receive all of the energy or love that you need. And the path is the simplest path of all: it’s known as selfless service.
Now many people, seemingly, do not understand, or at least they state they do not understand, what selfless service really means. When you do anything in life that is not motivated by a desire for self-gain, then you are expressing a degree of selfless service. A person might say, “Well, there isn’t anything I do, not even going to the grocery store, that is not for myself.” Well, if you’re on that level of consciousness and you wish to make a change from it—that you are not pleased or satisfied with your life experiences at this particular point in time—then there are many different things that you can do to be freed from the self-orientation or the prison house which your soul is locked in.
And a fine exercise that was given some time ago—and I’ll be happy to share it again—is, in the course of each waking hour, to make a little note of how many of your thoughts and your motivations were truly self-oriented and how many of them were not. You see, my friends, this will help you to become aware of yourselves. And this is the purpose of this class: to help you, as individuals, to find out who you really are, by your own personal efforts and your own personal demonstration to yourself. I am sure that many will be amazed, if they’ll make that effort each hour of a day, to find out just what it is that is truly motivating their thoughts and their acts."
