Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 121, which was published in Volume 5 of The Living Light Dialogue. This quote begins with a question from a student.
“Thank you. Would you please explain the true meaning of poise, as in the second soul faculty of faith, poise, and humility?"
"Poise, the triune soul faculty, is the perfect balance between faith and humility. As man gains faith—and gains it in the sense that he permits his eternal being to express and to demonstrate a greater authority over his life than his temporal mind—as man, in that sense, gains more faith, the mind experiences what is called humiliation. But humiliation to the mind is the expression of the soul faculty of humility.
And so as man experiencing by his mental being humiliation upon humiliation, it is the degree expressed of faith that will keep him in balance and in the light of reason. That expression is known as poise. For as we awaken in evolution, we become very aware and alert to the low frequency expressions of the mental body. We know beyond a shadow of any doubt that the expressions from the lower consciousness are temporal, that they are not, in truth, the eternal soul. And as we, in our knowing of that great truth, demonstrate an equal balance of our faith in God as our minds experience the humiliation of the errors of ignorance, we have poise, reason, balance, and the freedom through our own forgiveness for those ignorant levels that, in truth, exist somewhere in ourselves.”
The first soul faculty is duty, gratitude, and tolerance.
