CL 49: The Fountain of Youth: “. . . for man in his evolution has become so important that he dictates to divine nature law how things shall be . . . the effect of those transgressions is poor health and age . . . We cannot see disturbance in the universe until we become the disturbance that we may view it and know it inside of our self . . . My friends, we cannot live without energy, which, in truth, is God . . . it is time to consider more frequently how we are going to permit ourselves to receive the sustenance, known as Intelligent Energy, for our own good . . . Whenever the mind feels that it has been unjustly treated, it goes out into the universe seeking sympathy . . . sympathy is guided and controlled by self-interest . . . When we become less concerned with ourselves, God will consider us more than we could possibly imagine…This philosophy teaches that selfless service is the only path to spiritual illumination . . . the longer we continue to entertain these mental thoughts that have no act or deed, revealing their motives [are] not so pure, then we’re not going to have the eternal fountain of youth . . . For to complain and to criticize is a revelation of how little effort, my friends, that we have made to understand the laws of life.”

CL 50: The Way We Are: “ . . . it is truth that sets man free . . . man must know himself in order to find the truth so that he can be free . . . satisfaction is sleep of the eternal soul . . . in the teaching of this philosophy, we find no blame outside of our own universe. It is not the world and it not God . . . we are where we are because we have made our minds what they are . . . We can change it at any moment or we can continue on the wheel of illusion and delusion that it’s someone else’s fault . . . The soul does not aspire to remain in such a disastrous condition . . . the mind is the vehicle through which the soul expresses . . . I admit that it takes a bit of effort to try to control one’s own mind . . . we are where we are because we have made our minds what they are . . . When we start to think a bit more of God and a bit less of self, we won’t have to be so concerned about the pollution in the world. . . when you’ve had enough hell . . . you will surrender and let go to an authority greater than your created minds . . . Take care of today and you’ll know right where you’re going.”

CL 51: Beginning Anew: “It is the divine law of God that all souls shall be free. It is the law of man that the soul shall be bound . . . we limit the expression of our own fullness of life . . . the minds of men contradict themselves and a house divided cannot long endure, nor stand . . . consider beginning anew, a new thought and a new attitude in reference to what it is you truly desire . . . the mind or so-called brain, the vehicle through which it expresses, is controlled by what we call desire . . . This philosophy understands that we are, in truth, spirit, formless and free; whatever we think that and that alone we shall be . . . total consideration is divine love . . . total acceptance is divine will . . . our life is the direct effect of the laws that we alone have established . . . Beginning anew takes a perspective, an effort, an application of the Law of Personal Responsibility . . . If you are not happy with your state in life, look within . . . God is an infinite, intelligent Power called Divine Love, called impartial Energy . . . attention is the vehicle through which God’s love flows . . . our minds are limited in respect to divine law . . . a man not concerned over the effects of his efforts is a wise man.”

CL 52: Forgiving, the Path of Freedom: “ . . . a clarification of the spiritual understand of the word forgiving . . . The only everything that man change is in keeping with divine law . . . whatever happens to us in life is caused alone by us . . . Nothing happens to us by chance . . . We establish laws. And those laws, demonstrable, return unto us . . . The Spiritualist movement knows the Law of Personal Responsibility . . . we get out of a thing what we put into that thing and not one iota more . . . it is possible for someone to know something about you that your minds do not yet know themselves . . . there is one God . . . there is one consciousness . . . if, in your efforts to pray, you establish the Law of Total Acceptance, which is divine will, then that divine will flows through your life and the transformation of your life is the result . . . we are not alone no matter what we want to think about life . . . we are in truth, indeed an inseparable part of one consciousness; that whatever we think and whatever we do is affecting another human soul . . . Friends, when you’re in love with God, you will know what happens everywhere, at all times, and will have the feeling for the souls that are struggling to be freed from the glory of their bloated nothingness.”

CL 53: When It Means Enough: " . . . our sense of values in life are dependent upon the degree and the guidance of discipline that we have had at a very early age . . . Without disciple in life, our sense of values run far out of proportion and out of perspective . . . man does not value what he does not make effort to attain . . . When the going gets rough, those who have been lacking in discipline are the first to quit . . . the key to success is the principle of effort . . . the principle of effort is the lack of concern . . . our success in life is dependent upon how much it means to us. Not by what we tell our self it means to us and not by what we tell others how much something means to us, but how we demonstrate it . . . Know in life what it is you want to do . . . you must know what you want to do on Monday as well as Sunday . . . you see how simple the Law of Success is when it means enough to you."

CL 54: Our Brother's Keeper: “'Are we in truth a separate, independent unit in all of God’s universes or are we an inseparable part of a whole, called Divine Infinite Intelligence?’ . . . we are personally responsible for our own thoughts, our own acts and activities . . . How does man in truth become his brother’s keeper? By being the demonstration of honesty within himself . . . Total consideration is the expression of divine will . . . no man can grant to another what he has not first granted unto himself . . . our brother’s keeper must be a keeper unto our own soul first . . . we and we alone are personally responsible for every experience we encounter in life . . . For if we blame someone for our own weaknesses, then we must, in keeping with that law, blame them for our strengths . . . It is the process of educating the ego that is necessary . . . First, we must understand what the uneducated ego truly is . . . reason is a perfect balance . . . know thyself and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”

CL 55: The Fifth Anniversary of Serenity: " . . . anything in our mind that we have convinced our self we cannot do without—that is the very thing we shall learn, in time, to do without in order to be free . . . For like a great magnet, that that is entertained in mind goes out into the universe and it returns unto us . . . We cannot face ourselves until we accept the divine truth of personal responsibility . . . there is nothing outside—whether they call it the devil or God—that is responsible for what we do with our life . . . If we have not learned the lessons of yesterday’s transgressions of natural law, then we continue to experience the effects of today’s transgressions . . . creation is governed by a dual law . . . It is through the process of surrender to that Divine Intelligence that man is freed, that man is successful, that man is healthy, that man is happy, that man is fulfilled. . . it is not what you need to put into the mind to free your soul, it’s what you need to take out of it to free your soul . . . our adversities become our attachments . . . reason is balance . . . ‘I am Spirit formless and free, whatever I think, that will be’ . . . we are the effect of what we think; we are not the effect of what everyone else thinks."

CL 56: Plants, Animals and People: “For without plants and animals, there would be no people on this earth realm . . . we cannot broaden our own horizons unless we make the effort to look beyond them. And we cannot make the effort to look beyond them unless we can accept, in our consciousness, the possibility of an equal intelligence expressing through forms that are different than our own . . . the purpose of our soul entering earth form is not only for our own soul evolution, but [to also be] an instrument for the evolution of all form in which it comes [in] contact . . . in becoming aware of your attitude, you will know in that moment whether you are harmonious with nature or you are discordant . . . let us consider entertaining a level of consciousness of gratitude and appreciation for the food that enters our human body . . . The only thing that man can take is the physical form. No one can take that which isn’t in their power to take . . . We must learn to treat the four-legged friends much differently than we have been treating our two-legged friends . . . we cannot use our blown-up nothingness called the human intellect to commune with them . . . They don’t need to study English or any other language to understand what you’re feeling. They don’t need dictionaries to understand what your thoughts truly mean.”
