| Dear Friends, Serenity's annual drawing is now closed. I would like to thank all who entered. The response was very encouraging. Winners of the drawing will be notified soon. This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CL 78, which was published in Volume 9 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"Man himself is his own best friend. And man himself is his own worst enemy. For it is man's personal thoughts and personal acts that lift him to heavenly heights or take him in the opposite direction. There's nothing outside that can ever affect our life, unless you have something inside that is setting that law into motion. For all experience in all of life is ever within us. Remember, my good friends, whatever it is in life you want, whatever it is in life you don't want, it's within your hands, for it's within your head. It's never out there. It is a delusion of the mind that dictates to us that it's outside. That is not where it exists. It's inside our self. All our health and all our wealth and all our happiness is inside. That's the great treasure that, in truth, is ours.
If you have difficulty in finding that great treasure of life, then you may be rest assured you have some denial. And it is that denial that is your destiny that's keeping you from finding your true wealth. Everything you could possibly desire you already have. Because your physical senses do not yet experience it, simply reveals that you have not yet truly accepted it. We understand in this Living Light Philosophy that acceptance is the will of God. It is the divine will. For there is nothing in all of the universes that is denied by the intelligent Energy. When we permit our minds to deny, we rise as a judge, superior to the God that sustains us. And it is those denials in our consciousness that keep us from experiencing the health, wealth, and happiness that already exists within us. So I assure you, my friends, if you are having those experiences and your life is not complete and fulfilled, pause each day for a few moments, look honestly within, permit your judgments and denials to rise up in your consciousness that you may work with them through the great power of forgiveness. For to forgive is to give forth and that that you give forth is then in the hands of a great and higher law. There is no reason for anyone to be without their share of the goodness of life. And the goodness of life is everywhere present. I sincerely hope that it may be in keeping with your soul's evolution to make that daily effort to accept the possibility of something greater. For if you will truly do that and you will flood your consciousness daily with that demonstrable truth, you will soon in life experience that something greater, that something better than you already have."
To counterbalance the many denials that we often entertain in thought the philosophy encourages us to flood our consciousness with positive affirmations. One such affirmation is "I accept the possibility of experiencing something better in my life." It is important not to dictate what that something better is. But acceptance is very important because the moment we say "I accept the possibility" of anything, we open our minds to the Power and the Intelligence that can manifest that goodness in our lives.
