| Dear Friends, This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 132, which was published in Volume 5 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"Many times we have spoken of the human mind. And now we will speak more of the eternal journey and the destiny of the true life, known as soul. The mind is often asked about young souls, old souls, souls that have journeyed for centuries and souls that have not. My good students, it is a very simple and easy thing to awaken to whether or not your soul has journeyed for centuries: if you have journeyed for centuries, then your acceptance of life and all that it has to offer is very broad and encompassing, for in the experiences of centuries do we awaken, slowly but surely, to the eternal right of the divine expression. We learn, in those centuries, the foolishness of the human mind: to dictate and to judge. We learn, in those many centuries, that our destiny is the direct effect of mental thought processes. We also learn that to accept is to free from the seat of judgment. To accept is to permit an infinite, eternal Power to flow unobstructed through the mental form and, in so flowing, to bring unto us the goodness, the fullness, the abundance that, in truth, is our heritage.
Learn to accept each experience for what it is, in truth, offering to you, for it is offering to you a broader and a brighter horizon. Without the darkness on the path, there would not be the value for the light that, slowly but surely, begins to shine.
From the great eternal Oversoul we all have journeyed and many are the centuries that have already passed. Through experience without number, we have viewed what creation truly is: a mental attitude of mind. Remember, my good students, that creation is a mental attitude of mind. What it brings into your life is dependent upon your choice of attitude. It is within your power and right to sustain an attitude of goodness, of success, of all that life has to offer. Through your attitude of mind shall you reign supreme over all creation. It is your attitude. It is nothing, in truth, nothing else. Health, wealth, and happiness are the direct effect of your own efforts to maintain and sustain an attitude that is in keeping with those immutable laws of peace and harmony.
But, my good students, in this great evolving process, the steps are ofttimes painful. The dictates of the human mind are ofttimes very great. But no matter where you wander, no matter what you do, you shall, in time, forever and ever return to the Light that shines within you. There is no magic key to the success of life unless you can call an attitude of mind magic. The attitude is the Law of Vibration. The attitude is the essence of what you seek. For in your attitude of acceptance of your right, in that attitude of acceptance of your divine right shall you experience your divine right.
It cannot happen to you, no matter what you do, unless you change your own attitude. In the changing of your attitude is the transformation that will take place and flood your consciousness with what is rightfully yours. You have that right to the fullness of life. The thing that deprives you from that is the throne of judgment that exists within the human mind. To separate yourself in consciousness from that throne of judgment takes a little effort. I know. I spent centuries as a judge, but I first had to judge myself, before I could judge another.
So let us view what the throne of judgment truly has to offer. Through an error of ignorance in human consciousness, we think we are judging experiences taking place without. But each and every judgment that we entertain in thought is judging a level of consciousness that exists within us. The judgment, in turn, must bow, in time, to divine right, for it is the right of the Divinity to sustain the eighty-one levels of consciousness of the human being. And because that right belongs exclusively to the Divinity, our judgments concerning those levels shall bow through pain and suffering, known as experiences.
My good students, so often I hear your souls cry out to be free: to be freed from the multitude of experiences that are no longer pleasant in your consciousness. And, I assure you, that freedom is waiting patiently for your own acceptance: your acceptance of your right to an attitude that is beneficial to you, to an attitude of mind that will not fail you. For whatever you choose for your attitude, God, in all his power, shall sustain it. For so often we wish an experience to pass from our consciousness and yet we find that it remains: its tenacity is beyond the mind to believe. But its tenacity is sustained by the Infinite.
Over the universes you have traveled. And over many yet to be shall you continue to travel. There is no escape from that which you choose to entertain in your mind, for you alone are making the choice. The patterns of yesterday are long worn out. What is better—waiting for you—is your own acceptance, freed from dictate and judgment, your own acceptance of something better. When the mind says, "There must be something better," it goes into the mental processes and from the depths of the subconscious and magnetic field rise the patterns of yesteryear. That does not bring you something better. It never did. It never will. For your eternal being moves onward, not backward. In spite of our own individualized wills, our life moves on and on and on. It always has and it always will. We must learn to let go by accepting the possibility of something better."
Our attitude is very important for it is the key ingredient that sets the Law of Cause into motion.
As we face the great struggle of this day, let us all endeavor to demonstrate the faculties of our true being, which include duty, gratitude, and tolerance; faith, poise, and humility; care, kindness, and consideration. Let us pause before we express our sense functions. We are greater than what we believe that we are.
