Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 48, which will be published in Volume 3 of The Living Light Dialogue. This quote begins with a question from a student and their words are italicized.
"Tying in with this talk of yours, will you please give us a discussion on acceptance, the divine will? So that we will have a better understanding of acceptance and what we are accepting."
Thank you very much. I think we have spoken on that subject a bit at one of our other classes, but perhaps we can approach it from a little different perspective. We have stated that God, of course, is ever equal to our understanding. And as we look out at nature, we see that God, or the Divine, is the perfect example of acceptance. The Divine accepts all creation and cares for all creation. The Divine has no rejection, whether it’s the blade of grass or it’s the human being. Now, the lesson that nature has to offer to us is a total acceptance of all things, of all people, of all form, of all attitudes of mind: of the believer and the disbeliever. All are accepted by the Divine.
Now, when man decides that he will accept this and he will reject that, then man has become greater than the Divine itself, because man has become partial. Man has decided what is best for himself. It is true that the Law of Creation is the Law of Duality, which guarantees choice and variety. When we are speaking on acceptance, the divine will, we are speaking on the acceptance of all things everywhere, at all times.
So many of us, when speaking to another human soul or having an experience, seemingly automatically reject it according to what we have accepted at some other time in our life. Therefore, we are no longer free. We are now controlled by the patterns of acceptance, and we cannot broaden our horizons or expand our consciousness. Because, my friends—don’t you see?—we have become greater in our thinking than God, the Divine."
And when we become greater in our thinking than God, we establish all the laws necessary for understanding to befall us.
