The parallel law of life, the force of will or the power of will. Belief, the force of will, the movement of images, and emotion. The tree of knowledge. The path of nonresistance. Force, the power of the soul and the force of the mind, the lord of our life. Force, an identification with the mental. Power, an identification with the spiritual world. What happens in consciousness when something does not work out the way we thought it would. The force of will is the karmic wheel. The path of the functions and the path of the faculties. An understanding on responsibility. How to create images that are beneficial. When we forget that we are not the form. The first step in remembering truth. Eating or not eating and the force of will. The return of a form. Conscious dining. A spiritual exercise. Being unsuccessful in something one was previously successful with. The force of will, the hope of return, and the need of expectation. Why the experience rarely meets the expectation. “We are greater than we know.” “The power of will is not subject to limit.” Creation is not Life. A spiritual exercise. The purpose of this school. The thought of I is the force. The path of wisdom. Judgment, comparison, and rejection. “The physical body is an effect.” Our images work to prove how right we are. How we puffivate our ego. An uneducated ego does not like to believe it is left out. When you think of self. The purpose of the philosophy.

An audio recording on compact disc of the Consciousness Class given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on March 8, 1984.

A discussion on belief, faith, creation, truth. Self and heaven. Different perspectives on will power. The director, the dictator, and the dreamer. How we have blinded ourselves to the great truth within us. Seeking with our minds to control results in battles in mental substance—a house divided. First, become aware of our thoughts. Why we experience difficulty in making changes. The life of a sleeper and the bondage of creation. The first steps on the path of truth and freedom. We suffer whenever we deny truth. The path of suffering. Total acceptance and denial. The moment of conscious choice. How to be receptive to the goodness that we are. Each experience is serving a good and beautiful purpose. When making a change, why often two armies of equal strength battle. Losing our identity. Accepting the possibility of something greater. The spiritual realms. Personality, overidentification, and self-love. An understanding of need, envy, jealousy, and greed. Becoming greater than God. What “personality” means. Manipulation. Difficulty and the Law of Identification. To God, to that which we are, all things are possible. The goodness of God flows through the vehicle of reason. Removing the obstruction from our consciousness. Our journey home. The Law of Evolution. The created forms of our mental world.

Two paths of thinking: reason or judgment, thinking or wishing. Comparison, denial, and judgment. Why we say something is difficult. Solidifying an obstruction. An understanding of aging. Separation and comparison. Inward thinking. Struggle and outward thinking. Why we often cannot see the good. As long as you look outside. Physical manifestation and mental substance. Attainment and loss. When we understand the vehicle that our formless, free spirit is using, we can guide it more intelligently. Something that is missing. What we must give up that we may be what we truly are. The path of looking inward. By keeping our eye single. The way out is the way in. The Law of Identity. Reliving an experience. The purpose of these classes. The purpose of law. Overidentification can reactivate laws. Overidentification with self, self-concern, and self-love. There are no words to get a person to stop thinking of themselves; they must make the effort. Overidentification is expressed as concern. “We have to struggle so much to get what we think we don’t have because we deny what we are.” Believing what we think we are. There is no happiness in believing we are creation. Separate that which you are from that which you think you are. We have not come to Earth to be manipulated by some mind, but we give them that power by our dependence upon them. Acceptance is the will of goodness. Denial and dependence. Fear. When we overidentify, we separate. A spiritual exercise. The path to freedom. We are responsible for our creations.

The eternal search, which offers freedom or frustration. Emotions and mental attachments. What knowledge offers. The path of wisdom. The need to know. The greatest step in awakening. Security. Harmony and flowers. The unenlightened defenses of falsehood. Balance. A spiritual exercise. On the path of freedom, many things will distract us. Overidentification. Losing what we are. Serving the purpose of our being. The Law of Qualifying. Sleeping in class. When you say you are unable to help yourself. Strength. Emotions. A spiritual exercise. Knowledge and doubt. Yawns. The Book of Cause and Effect. Dependence. The stomach and affections. Why we defend. Emotions have a detrimental effect. Skin. When our mental attachments are threatened. When we awaken. Communication with yourself and separating truth from creation. Positive expressions of emotion. All thoughts fear. The difference between demonstration and belief. When we permit ourselves to be controlled by what has been. When you stop believing you are the emotion that rises. Destiny. Giving this great being that you are to a form. Law has no emotion. How to be more accepting. Nothing is left out. The goodness of life. Meditation techniques. If you insist on believing, then choose something beneficial. The divine edge. What creation and knowledge have to offer. To forget is human. Riding two horses. A conscious effort to communicate with the different forms one has created. An example of communication. The priority of the students. An example of created forms in consciousness (lack of money). We always get what we really want. We don’t consider the cost.
