| Dear Friends, This week's quote is from the spiritual awareness class entitled "Private Class 2, The Fountain of Youth," which will be published in Volume 18 of The Living Light Dialogue.
"Greetings, children of Light and Life.
It is our pleasure once again to speak with you. And at this time, we should like to discuss the fountain of youth and how to perceive and become it. You all know in truth that Life herself, which is God, is a stream of consciousness in perfect flow.
And so it is in order to help you, your soul, to help yourselves, I should like to give at this time an affirmation to help you to flow in consciousness, which is in truth God. The affirmation is:
Rhythm, Harmony, Balance, Peace.
Hold, release. Hold, release.
Now, my good students, whenever you have a thought which is with you at all time, declare the truth in, "Rhythm, Harmony, Balance, Peace. Hold, release. Hold, release." That is the Law of Demand-Supply. And so it is that the magnetic mind holds, as the electrical mind releases. When these two minds are in perfect balance, which is reason, which is peace, which is soul perception, which is truth, which is the joy of life, you indeed will be Life herself.
My good students, long ago we stated, "Dreamer, dream a life of beauty before your dream starts dreaming you." And so it is because of the dreams of yesterday that you persist on holding in consciousness, you, your soul, cannot move in the perfect rhythm and harmony along the stream of life.
This ancient truth is revealed in your world today in many, many ways. One of those ways is what is known in your world as acupuncture; that is, the placing of needles in the human body in order to redirect the current or life stream. It is known by those who know well the science of acupuncture that harmony can be restored in the body by the proper directing of the life stream or energy. It is not necessary, my students, nor is it desirable to use needles to direct this current, which is the stream of consciousness. This current may be directed in perfect balance by the affirmation that has been given to you.
When something disturbs you, it controls you because you, through the power of thought, have directed the current to a dam which you yourselves have built. Using this affirmation in perfect rhythm, you will release what you are holding. You will free the river of life, the stream of consciousness, within your universe and be free, be happy, and be joyous."
Our thoughts have a tremendous effect upon our feelings, our attitudes, and even our experiences. Given that, it is only prudent to direct some of our attention to harmonious thoughts that we may be affected in a way that is beneficial. Students were often encouraged to choose an affirmation and repeat that affirmation many, many times over the course of a day. This spiritual exercise was known as flooding the consciousness.
Our minds are very active---one thought leads to another and another and another. And so very quickly we often find ourselves dwelling on some discordant experience of the past that we did not consciously choose to entertain. At those times, we are being led by our thoughts instead of guiding our thoughts: our crew (our thoughts) have mutinied. Affirmations help us reclaim our rightful place in consciousness as the captain of our ship.
