An audio recording on compact disc of the Consciousness Class given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on February 24, 1977.

A discussion on destiny and how it works for us. Establishing new and more beneficial laws. How to accept personal responsibility for all experiences. Before every victory are the hounds of hell. Each denial is a judgment and has a price. The importance of pausing. The discipline of reason. Obstructions, procrastinations, and fascination. Accept with full gratitude the crumbs of change. How discouragement works. Communing with all life. To understand is to broaden your horizons. Forgiveness and understanding yourself. The role of understanding and the role of peace. Guidance on praying. Work with this moment, your most valuable asset. Honesty opens the first soul faculty. Fascination and procrastination. Anything that causes a person a lack of the use of the faculty of reason is detrimental and is not beneficial to your evolving soul. Stealing, being stolen from, and stealing from the Divine. The gift of self. We are loaned much by the Divine. The value of acceptance.

A class that is a little different than the usual. Truth is taught through indirection, demonstration, and example. The American Legion raises the rent and Serenity has to raise $51,000 to complete God’s home. The option of compulsory tithing. Facing the responsibility that belongs to all members and those who have received so much. The inspectors have stopped the construction of God’s home. Each and every student has the opportunity to speak on what their feeling and intention is with regard to remaining students of the Light and how they will help meet the financial obligation that must be met. If we are interested in what this church offers, then we must do our part spiritually, mentally, and materially. Before God, the Friends, and their co-students, each member of the class makes a commitment of service. The protests at the Marin County Civic Center over the building of Serenity’s home, their source, and Serenity’s response. The value of compassion. Seeming bad experiences often produce good excellent results. The importance of uniting. Applying the philosophy in these experiences. How the church responds to the American Legion.

A briefing on the present situation regarding God’s home. Our right to experience the goodness of life. The marvel of Marin. A discussion on the beginning of form. A sphere of energy the size of a pinhead. The evolving journey of continuing identification. The importance of acceptance. The path of freedom is the path of divine will. Whatever comes into your life is called forth by you. When to use the affirmation, “Thank you, God. I am at peace.” The Law of Judgment and the Law of Forgiveness. The importance of forgiveness. Learn to rely on peace. Whatever thought you entertain is sustained by the power of the universes. Entertain the thoughts that prosper the goodness in your life. Grant the left path its right and experience the right path. The cause of the Teacher’s return to Earth. The path of freedom. Look beyond the illusions of form and view the eternal Light. We are the life and not the identity.

An audio recording on compact disc of the Consciousness Class given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on March 17, 1977.

The class starts with a number of announcements regarding the church. A discussion on the divine principle of giving, the gift and the giver. What separates the gift from the giver. Contamination. A loan, instead of a gift. The gift without the giver. How a gift is contaminated and becomes a loan, which then becomes an obstruction to receiving. Why it is better to give than receive. The Law of Givingness. Total acceptance, total consideration, and broadening our horizons. To harbor a thought is to feed a form. Man is as small or as large as his God. Daily effort makes the inevitable changes more harmonious. Though much is rejected by our minds, the rejections of yesteryear become the acceptances upon which we climb. Thought is a form created by our minds. How to work with that which is distasteful. The Law of Not Understanding. View difficulties objectively by considering the thought that is behind the experience. Then go beyond the feeling and the thought. In broadening our horizons, the fullness of life rises into our consciousness. Life is truly beautiful when we stop dictating how it should be. It is the authority of the mind that is our true obstruction in life. The purpose of this academy. Fascination and procrastination. You are not the thought. You are the cause behind the thought. Accept the thoughts passing through your consciousness without being deluded that they are you. Through identity is your destiny established. Why man identifies with his denials: the lesson of eternal life.
