CL 59: Review and Renewal: " . . . we must make that effort to find out why we react to experiences in life the way that we do react . . . the only benefit to experience is that it continues to repeat itself. It only continues, my friends, until we accept what the experience truly has to offer us . . . we are indeed all successful in what we alone have chosen to do in life . . . a failure is the greatest success, for it is success in a negative, but it is indeed success . . . There is no such thing as an original thought in the minds of men . . . the trouble with desire, my friends, is that it changes so often. It changes from moment to moment. The moment that you fulfill it, it demands more . . . It is stated here that through repetition change is made possible . . . that which you hold destroys you, and that which you free unfolds you . . . For as you give you become a clearer channel for that great divine eternal Intelligence to flow through you unobstructed . . . It is the givers of life who are never without . . . My friends, in your giving will you find joy. And in your giving you will free yourself from the things that bind your being. It’s in your giving through your heart, not your head."

CL 60: The Lessons of Life: “. . . change is made possible through the Law of Repetition . . . creation offers to all of us a duality of experiences . . . he who seeks the things and not the cause of things is ever controlled by the fluctuating desires of the human mind . . . divine right is not dependent upon people, places, or things. Divine right is dependent upon divine acceptance . . . our adversities become our attachments . . . God sustains whatever thought, whatever pattern of mind, whatever attitude you choose to make . . . put God in it or forget it . . . that will of the Divine is known as total acceptance . . . when we take stock of what we really do accept, we find we are extremely limited in our lives . . . when we dictate to the Divine, we are, in that moment, becoming greater than the Divine . . . No man can change the thought of another . . . You are not the things that you entertain in thought. You are the cause that is behind them . . . Choose more wisely your thoughts, for they are the magnets that are pulling you to your own waiting experiences . . . There is no God and no angel that controls your mind . . . it is the freeing of ourselves from ourselves that is the true joy of Life herself.”

CL 61: The Fullness of Life: "We understand that divine will is total acceptance . . . divine love is total consideration and desire is divine expression . . . the decisions that we make are dependent upon the limited acceptances of our past experiences . . . in that dictate, we are no longer in the divine flow of God’s expression, but we are, in that moment, the victim of our own rejections and our own acceptances . . . The fullness of life is the acceptance of life, but man dictates to God how life shall be. That, known as judgment, is the greatest cross we have to bear . . . Intolerance is a judgment and a denial of the right, the eternal right, of God’s expression . . . ‘I am only a witness of time passing on. A witness of things that have come and gone. Never the jury or the judge will I be, for I am the witness, the life and the tree’ . . . be the witness of life."

CL 62: The Awakened Soul: “. . . that that has no beginning has no ending . . . And it is that created substance, known as the human mind, that is the veil between our eternal soul and the view that is our divine right of eternity itself . . . You cannot be objective about anything as long as you entertain thoughts and dictates of the human mind concerning it . . . there is something above and beyond all creation . . . To the awakened soul, man experiences that goodness, for man no longer judges and dictates to God how it shall be . . . Why does man neglect? Because man has risen in his self-importance and is dictating to divine Infinite Intelligence how all of his life shall be . . . Man says it’s difficult to accept the authority of God . . . man is the greatest borrower in the universe . . . For whatever man lets go of, God takes control of . . . we cannot experience in life what we are not willing to accept . . . And only you alone can accept something better . . . If we refuse to accept the right, the infinite right of evolution, known as change, then we’re swimming against the tide of life. And the tide of life is greater than the thoughts of man . . . Let us graciously accept all that life has to offer.”

CL 63: Harmony, the Law of Life: "And it is through this process of identification with the objects that we observe that we become bound by so-called limit or form or creation . . . An education is something that takes place when man makes the effort, the daily, moment-by-moment effort, to accept the infinite divine right of God to express through a variety of levels of consciousness . . . Let us truly become the observers . . . This body that we have now is known as the temple of God. Everything that happens to it reveals what our attitudes and thoughts truly are . . .You cannot experience anything that you do not first identify with . . . If you only identify with your limited mental acceptances, then that’s all you will ever be aware of experiencing . . . negative faith is known by man as fear, the authority of the limited mind over your eternal life . . . A petrified mind never freed a human soul . . . Let us lift our hearts to something that is greater than what our minds can possibly conceive."

CL 64: Promise, the Destiny of Life: “. . . the thought of being tired is dependent upon judgments of the human mind . . . love all life and know the Light . . . Each and every day of our life we are experiencing the dictates of our own mind . . . Whenever the limited will of the human mind rises to dictate in any experience, in any experience its authority over the right of divine will, then man suffers . . . man suffers from his denials in life . . . our denials, in truth, are our destinies . . . The greatest failing known to man is the failing of placing the blame and responsibility in life’s experiences outside onto someone else or something else . . . It is our opinions that, in truth, are causing a lack of goodness in our life, but those opinions, created by our minds, can be changed . . . It is through honest prayer that we are freed from these dictates of yesterday . . . place God, that Divine Principle, in your thought and God will move whatever mountain your minds may have already created as your obstruction . . . the easiest thing in the world is to accomplish what you desire. The difficulty is in knowing what you desire and sustaining the effort necessary to do it . . . That better life is waiting for everyone, but it is directly dependent upon their willingness to change.”

CL 65: Six Years of Serenity: ". . . whenever man makes a decision it’s known as a judgment . . . This church was founded on the basic principle of personal responsibility, founded upon the total acceptance . . . life, in truth, is the way we alone are making it . . . It is in our mind that our peace and our wars are waged . . . we must learn to accept. It is the denials in life that are our own destinies . . . All things in creation are sustained by this neutral, infinite Divine Love . . . This philosophy teaches that presumption is the Law of Descent. It also teaches to investigate everything and to presume nothing . . . humbleness is the path of peace; acceptance is the door through which we enter into paradise . . . we do not consider what we must give up to gain that something better . . . you must be willing, through study and application and through daily effort, to give it all to what is called God . . . each time you give with reservation you are standing outside of the divine flow . . . And whatever it is you want in life, whatever is your number one priority, give that, your greatest desire, to God . . . And so the greatest gift that you have to give is your own totality."

CL 66: Inspiration: “. . . we must view this soul faculty known as inspiration as an inseparable part of a trinity, for inspiration flows through the soul faculty of reason and consideration . . . the human mind is not designed to consider all . . . And so we must consider something that is greater than the experiences in life that we have already encountered . . . man values only that which he makes an effort to attain . . . Take hold of your thought. Awaken yourself consciously to what your beliefs really are . . . You have identified with the limitation of form . . . For the greatest gift to God is the gift of self . . . For that that is healthy is abundant, harmonious, and good . . . You are responsible for the thoughts that you permit to pass through your mind . . . Heaven is what you yourself have accepted and are demonstrating . . . put your house in order each and every morning before confusion sets in . . . Those houses are built by your thoughts and your attitudes . . . The workers win . . . our heaven is within our consciousness. It is dependent upon your acceptance and your beliefs . . . ‘What is my attitude of mind this moment?”
