CL 79: The Power of Acceptance: ". . . the will of God or the divine will is total acceptance . . . Our struggles in life are the effects of what we reject . . . we never are those experiences unless we permit our minds to delude us into the false belief that we are the experience . . . The greatest blessing that man has ever had or will ever have is what is known as the divine right of choice . . . When you do not consider in total, then you are not in the divine love of God . . . whatever in life we place our attention upon, we have a tendency to become . . . each harmonious thought we have in our mind sends a healing balm out into the universe and has a direct effect upon all of nature . . . For each denial that you set into consciousness closes the doors of opportunity that are waiting to open. It is our dictates that send us on our destiny, through the path of denial . . . You can change it by first accepting its right of existence and, in so accepting, accept the right of something better and something greater."

CL 80: Survival, The Miracle of Life: ". . . the minds of men can change many things, but they cannot change the very principle of life itself . . . No one and nothing can change our life, but our self . . . we must first learn to accept that we are, in truth, the masters of our ship . . . It is in the acceptance of anything that the law is established to experience it . . . all discordant thoughts and feelings are the children of denial . . . Man’s only limit or struggle is what his mind dictates . . . we must pay the price of our judgments; we must pay the price of our denials . . . to do it well is a demonstration and a revelation of consideration . . . When you have total consideration, then you have the love of God flowing in any of your endeavors . . . When we bring unity to our mind, we bring success to your life . . . the cause of the discord, the lack of not experiencing the fullness of life, is only thoughts, created by our mind, that are not in harmony with each other . . . when you find the cause, the cure is ever evident . . . before any victory in life, be it in the material or spiritual realms, the dues you have incurred, they must be paid . . . It is our attitudes that change our life . . .”

CL 81: New Attitudes and New Experiences: ". . . we always in life get what we really want . . . the change, my friends, takes place in our own mind . . . Nothing, my friends, takes place outside. Everything for us takes place within us . . . We can change our attitude in this moment by changing our thought . . . if you are not good to yourself, you cannot be good to another . . . Man established those mental laws. God impartially sustains them . . . Anything created by the minds of men is limited by the minds of men . . . hold not to form, my friends, for form shall pass . . . it is through repetition that change is made possible . . . So when we’ve had enough of what we don’t like, we will begin to accept what we do like, no matter what it takes."

CL 82: Faith, The Power That Frees Our Soul: ". . . the secrets of the universe are never given to the blabbermouths . . . When you speak forth into the universe what you are making an effort to accomplish, you expose your effort to all the negativity, to all of the discouragement that others have experienced in their lives . . . It is faith that brought us to the earth realm, and it is faith that will take us to the next and the next and the next . . . Man cannot experience anything in his life that he does not have faith in . . . There are many things that we know. There are few things that we apply when it comes to making a change . . . our mind is always subject to the errors of its own experiences . . . It is indeed a most unreliable source, our human mind . . . we are ever limited by what we identify with . . . God sustains whatever thought we choose to entertain . . . As long as we permit our mind to think of the obstructions in our life, we will never find the way . . . without doing, we become grounded within our own limited thought patterns and we lose the beauty, the goodness, and the joy of life itself . . . when you are not active, when you are not doing, what is your mind thinking about? . . . that which disturbs us controls us.”

CL 83: The Lighted Path: "Our denials in life become our destinies . . . total acceptance is the will of the Divine . . . there is something greater than what our minds have already offered to us. But to experience that something greater, we must make our own effort to rise above and beyond the dictates of our human mind . . . our experiences are only in keeping with our faith . . . If you wish your life to change, then only you can change it . . . Man lives in an illusion of self-created thought . . . We are where we are in life because of the way we have thought in life . . . For we cannot grant to another what we have not first granted unto our self . . . Success is an effect; it is an effect of effort . . . When you want to change and the change involves another, remember, don’t try to change the other . . . Change you, and that that you wanted changed, it will grow or it will go . . . it is your faith that is doing the work . . . You, your attitude, your thought, and your effort is what is doing it . . . All we need to do is to choose what seeds we plant . . . Patience is the key word to experience the continuity of goodness in anyone’s life."

CL 84: A Working Philosophy: ". . .no philosophy presented at any time can work for us unless we work with it . . . Our thought, in this earthly realm, is the most important vehicle through which our eternal being is expressing . . . It is when we think of self that we become the victims of past experience . . . a thought never dies; it only goes to sleep . . . When we know our self, then we know the world and everything that is in it . . . as long as we’re in self we will desire constantly . . . To desire is the way of things. To know why we desire, why we express the divine principle in a particular way, that is what’s important in life . . . without the drive of the human ego, there would not be progress, change, and evolution in this world of creation . . . All things are possible to he who believes . . . Think more often and more deeply . . . We only fear what we don’t understand and we don’t understand what we make no effort to understand . . . outward manifestations are revelations of inner attitudes of mind . . . Fear, we created. We can put it to sleep . . . For our world is ever as we are within . . . There’s nothing outside that you really need, unless you believe that error of thought.”

CL 85: A New Dawn: ". . . we cannot experience to the fullest anything that is new until we let that which has passed go through from our consciousness . . . When we accept that all of life is taking place within our own consciousness, that it is not dependent upon anything outside of us, then we begin to truly live. And we begin to fulfill the purpose of our soul’s journey, here, on this Earth planet . . . we quickly see our problems in life are only the things that we are holding to beyond the purpose which they were born to serve . . . Youth is an attitude of mind. It is not dependent upon a physical form…When we begin to think of something beyond our limited thoughts that flood our consciousness from day to day, then we begin to free our self from our self . . It is your thoughts that create your attitude and it is your attitude of mind that establishes the law in your life . . . It is not possible to experience fear when you are true to yourself."

CL 86: Review and Renewal: ". . . when we willingly accept the changes in our life—for indeed they are many—then we can move more harmoniously along the evolutionary path . . . something does not come out of nothing . . . Whenever we permit ourselves to encourage ourselves we begin to find that life takes on a more positive, a more joyous meaning for us . . . All our joys and all our sadness is created by a thought, an attitude of mind that we permit to exist within our own consciousness . . . Because we often cannot see the reason and the purpose of a lesson that we are in does not in any way detract from its value and its necessity for us . . . This philosophy teaches that repetition is the law through which change is made possible . . . There is no accident that brought us to earth. There is no accident that’s going to free us from earth . . . it is that that is within us that attracts its kind in the world in which we live . . . For that which disturbs our mind reveals the greatest truth: that is what controls our mind . . . ‘Can we live and live fully without the things that we think we have to have?’ . . . Negative faith, to our world, is one word, known as fear.”
