Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from the spiritual awareness class Special Seminar 1 A, which will soon be published in Volume 19 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"It is the very nature of the human mind to believe. Therefore, when we permit our self to over-identify with our mind, we must pay the consequences of what our mind has to offer. If we use our mind wisely and if we consciously choose the thoughts, which are the vibrations that we wish to experience, if we make that effort to gain control, once again, of the vehicle that we are driving in this world, the human mind, then we shall indeed be free, for that is the Law of Disassociation: to awaken that you are not the thing, that you are the user of it and not to be blinded by belief that you are the thought that is in your mind. For if you were the thought that is in your mind, then you would be many things, for many thoughts do we entertain in the course of one day.
As we awaken to that truth, that we are the user of the thought, we are the former of the thought, but we are not the thought itself, as we awaken to that in the light of reason, then we pause in our daily thoughts and activities and we choose which thought we will use. And we do not permit again the thought in our mind to use us. That is disassociation through an awakening of the soul faculty of reason."
The thoughts of our minds are constantly seeking to distract us from that which has lasting value. For many reasons it is very important to be awake, aware, and alert to what is going on in our mental world and to make the effort to choose more wisely which thoughts we wish to entertain in consciousness.
