CQA 4: “This philosophy teaches that so-called evil is nothing more nor less than undeveloped good. . . Integrity considers the all of anything and everything that is within its sphere of interest . . . truth is taught through indirection, demonstration, and example. . . when we set the example by working on ourselves, one of two things takes place with children or people: they grow in harmony with our efforts or they go. . . The vast difference between a feeling or sensing body and an emotional body is that one is controlled by the function of judgment and the other is controlled by the faculty of consideration. . . Many people are not yet ready to make the daily effort to gain some degree of control over the thoughts of their mind. . . Whenever we entertain the thought and the feeling and the emotion of desire and we permit our thoughts to judge how, when, and where the desire will be fulfilled, we immediately, in that moment, limit the divine expression. . . The step from the mental realms to spiritual realms is a step that is easily accomplished. It’s known as total acceptance. . . Nothing grows overnight. . . when the tools of life no longer serve the worker, then the worker begins to serve the tools. . . Creation never, ever was designed to be master. . . the secrets of the universe are never given to a blabbermouth.”

CQA 5: “Without the use of concentration, which is, in truth, the key to all power, there is no ability to control thought. . . Truth is not something you will find with your mind. . . The teaching is to think humble, yet well of thyself. . . It doesn’t matter what you think to the infinite, divine Intelligence, for the infinite, divine Intelligence, known as God, is neutral. It will, it does, sustain any thought that you choose. . . when we accept the divine right of expression, we will be on the first step of recognizing that whatever exists in one human exists in its potential in all humans, including our self. . . Whatever you cannot tolerate in another, you establish, in that intolerance, the law that brings that very thing into your life in order that you may gain in understanding . . . a so-called bad experience can and does produce excellent results, if we will take the essence from the experience, which is the indispensable ingredient for the reeducation of our own senses . . . everything you think you need for your benefit is within you this moment and every moment. The only obstruction between us and the good that we seek is the judgments in life that we entertain in thought. . . We deny that goodness when we experience something contrary to our judgments.”

CQA 6: “The Living Light Philosophy teaches . . . that man, the eternal soul, passes through on an evolutionary path throughout the planets of the universe. . . The essence of peace is the Law of Responsibility. . . When man lets go, God indeed takes control. . . It is one of the basic purposes of the Living Light Philosophy and the Serenity Church to help man to help himself to clearly see the difference between truth and creation. . . the experience . . . is only an effect. . . Eternity is only the present. . . As long as we believe in the illusion to attain what we seek we must go through certain steps, then we are bound by the illusion . . . when we lose a part of our self, there’s room for greater good to come in. . . it’s not a physical object that causes us the grief in life; it is a thought. . . The only reason we have those problems is because somewhere in our mind we have a judgment that blinds us to the beauty of life. . . O suffer senses not in vain, for freedom of your soul is gain. . . we have, many of us, become attached to patterns that served us when we were little children. . . We always get what we really want, sooner or later. . . the only way we’re going to be free from being a victim is to accept personal responsibility.”

CQA 7: “God does not work to us, that God’s work takes place through us. . . It is only when we make the judgment that we own, only then do we lose. . . There are no accidents in the universe. . . The thoughts that bother us are the ones we try to hold. . . that that we free, unfolds us, and that that we hold, controls us. . . It is only when our cup is emptied that it can be filled. . . It is not what we need to put into our mind to free us. It is what we already have in our mind that we must empty out to free us. . . When we declare, by our mind, that anything . . . is not possible, we deny God for us. . . our denials are our destiny. . . how you think is the way your life will be. . . whenever we depend upon our mind, we become bound by our mind. . . when we procrastinate, we reveal . . . that we are not yet able to control our mind. . . when you free yourself from dependence, you’re freed from bondage. . . All you have to do . . . is to make the effort to help someone else. . . Color is vibration. . . Thought is not dependent upon substance, for substance, in truth, does not exist. It only exists in a realm of belief. . . dream a life of beauty . . .”
