CL 98: Ninth Anniversary Service: ". . . our adversities in life, indeed, do become our attachments . . . we do have a purpose in life to serve . . . All things indeed are possible . . . our teaching has always been never to suppress the desires in your mind, but to fulfill or to educate them . . . Repetition is the law, and the only law, through which change is made possible . . . the best time to make some effort to still the mind, which most people call meditation, is early in the morning before it comes so extremely active . . . in your thoughts of judgment in life, remember, they lead quickly to adversities and from those adversities to long-lasting attachments . . . to be successful is to be successful within . . . whatever you think within is what manifests for you without . . . If you have thoughts of goodness and joy and harmony and peace, then you will experience those realms ever in keeping with your own merit in life . . . if in the possibility of accepting that new way of thinking you say, ‘That’s fine, except’ or ‘but,’—when you make that statement, you are not able to create your own reality consciously by your own volition and experience that goodness of life . . . The only obstruction is the mental world. It is our mental world, our thoughts."

CL 99: Tenth Anniversary Service: ". . . vibration is much more important than the physical body . . . ‘A wise teacher suffers well the growth pains of his students’ . . . the gift without the giver is absolutely worthless . . . humor is the salvation of our soul . . . exposure frees our soul . . . that [that] we hold binds us . . . we all know, in honesty and truth, that the war around us is a reflection of the war within us . . . The God of truth is the God of freedom . . . what we strive to possess in life, in truth, is possessing us . . . The most important soul is the one that knows it’s not important . . . you can’t buy love . . . But you can buy and sell the delusion called possession . . . that that you have earned you are. But you’re not destined to stay at that stage of evolution . . . when something goes great: we’re the first one to leap on the bandwagon and take all the credit . . . man makes the choice of his thought, God sustains our choice . . . opportunity is ever present, never absent or away. It is ever with us, if we will still our mind . . . What makes things impossible is the judgment which we give a higher priority than God . . .”

CL 100: [The Spirit of Spontaneity]:". . . the spirit of spontaneity . . . is the willingness to respond to change without thought, without concern, without judgment . . . So the motivation to communicate with another dimension must never override the desire to awaken the soul faculty of discernment and the spiritual faculties of personal responsibility, the light of reason . . . We can only fear what we doubt, and we can only doubt what we think we do not control . . . For it is only the mind that requires proof . . . Religions for untold centuries have taught and demonstrated the benefit of fear, for fear is nothing more nor less than faith in the vehicle known as the human mind . . . we teach to suffer senses not in vain for freedom of the soul is gain. And if it is your choice not to make the conscious, moment-by-moment effort by controlling your own mind in the illusion, be of good cheer, Life herself will extract the payment from you, and you will understand it as struggle, as suffering, as discord and disease. . . Man cannot experience discord until he believes he is discord . . . For only through wisdom shall man become qualified to gain control over his own illusion . . ."

CL 101: Thirteenth Anniversary - Laws Governing Continuity of Organization:". . . it is our job, our effort to awaken to the very process through which we can become most receptive to an intelligent, neutral Energy that supports and sustains whatever it is we choose . . . the court of last resort . . . when we, at any moment, free our self completely from all judgment, that is when we leave the mental world and enter the spiritual consciousness . . . a law, being a universal law, is not dependent upon anyone . . . it is our divine birthright to experience or reflect—for that’s what experience is—to reflect the goodness that we truly are . . . we can experience the truth we are when we take control of the human mind . . . We are always controlled by what we are dependent upon . . . Your effort and temptation to bring about a change in another person is not only foolhardy, but it is self-destructive . . . we always get what we really want . . . Promptness reveals the Law of Consideration . . . whoever tempts to break universal laws of consciousness, that are unbreakable, shall be broken by them . . . Whoever permits themselves the sanity of encouragement awakens within their own consciousness the soul faculty of courage . . . We can free our self from the basic design and nature of the human mind by not over-identifying with it and believing that it is us."

An audio recording on compact disc of Church Questions and Answers 1 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on February 3, 1980.

CQA 1: “. . . until we learn to control our mind and to control . . . our emotions, we cannot, in truth, be objective in reviewing past experiences. . . A judgment is a bound decision . . . For a judgment demands and dictates what the effects of its bound decision or judgment shall be. . . Anything that is form has beginning and, by the very Law of Beginning, has its own ending. . . When you experience will and are freed from judgment, then you can be assured that it is divine will and not self-will. . . When we’re interested in helping another, we are freed from the concern of helping self. . . It is true, however, that many of those who have passed to the other world before us will . . . greet us as we cross over from this blind, earthly world  . . . The temptation is a process that is taking place within us. . . When we accept personal responsibility for all experiences in our life, we establish the very law by which freedom and abundant good can be experienced by us. . . all of our experiences are the light in our world revealing to us what we’re sending out. . . the more identified we are to this particular incarnation . . . the less we view of what really is. . . . We are not the thought patterns we think we are.”

CQA 2: “. . . we understand that man, this divine spark within him, which is formless and free, is expressing through several bodies here and now. . . As we make that awakening within our self, we open the doors to communication and, through communication, we gain a broader understanding, for without communication, there is no understanding. . . We know deep within ourselves what is right for us. . . What is right for one does not . . . guarantee in any way that it be right for all. . . Once we have exercised that free will in anything, called choice, then . . . we must follow the choice that we have made, for we establish a law, as man is a law unto himself. . . Universal consciousness very simply means a universality in our own acceptance. . . We cannot be aware consciously in our mental world of this soul, which is our true being, until we still the mental activity. . . the only obstruction to the experiencing of abundant good, to experiencing the health, wealth, and happiness of life . . . is the false belief in lack. . . . the levels of consciousness are attitudes of mind created by thought patterns. . . thought is not limited to man. . . That that is individualized, we will all agree, must have form . . . Try to understand that the true you is not what you believe in any given moment.”
