| Dear Friends, This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class CC 60, which was published in Volume 3 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"We have stated many times that this world, and all worlds, are ever as you make it and they are indeed just the way you take it. So we've made our world the way we are this moment. We might as well take it and in so doing make whatever changes are necessary.
It will do no good to complain, for complaining, my friends, is an expression of ingratitude. And gratitude is the Law of Divine, Abundant Supply. So if you're complaining, it means there's something you desire that you don't have. And so you stay on the wheel of delusion by complaining, because complaining is ingratitude—the opposite of gratitude—and closes the door of eternal supply.
Now, we've taught this same law for many, many years: Be grateful for the crumb; you will guarantee the loaf. Don't you see, my friends, what we do to ourselves? When we complain, we are declaring. We are speaking a word out into the atmosphere. The word is life-giving energy. The word, my friend, is the law. Think about it. Man is a law unto himself. The word is the law.
For untold centuries, humanity has been taught that great truth. And yet, it seems it has not yet got to that level of consciousness where it can accept that great truth. So do yourself a great favor. The thing that you are seeking knows your face and is already on its way to your heart if you do not transgress the divine, natural law.
When you say, "I don't have this and I don't have that," you set that law into motion. You express that ingratitude and you continue on without what you are truly seeking. But if you say, "Thank you, God. I have the crumb of my desire," you will set the Law of Abundant Supply into motion, and it shall go out into the universe and it shall increase and multiply. Some people call that positive thinking. But I assure you, it's a lot more than positive thinking. It's known as acceptance. That is the divine will. If you accept that truth in your consciousness, then you will be in a position to demonstrate its immutable law."
The more we are aware of our thoughts, the more we are aware of where we are in consciousness, the more wisely we may choose which thoughts we truly desire to entertain. For thoughts are very important. Much more important than many realize.
And happy Mother's Day.
