CQA 14: “It is when man stills his mind that he becomes the living light in the world of God . . . eternity is the moment of which you are conscious. . . when we judge, we place our self in consciousness to that which has been. . . encouragement being a soul faculty through which the light of reason, the power that transfigures us, flows unobstructed . . . the divine, infallible Law of Duality, the positive and negative, is the very principle of creation. . . Formless and free is an awakening in our heart. . . The Living Light Philosophy teaches very clearly to still the mind. To still the mind is to rise in consciousness—because our consciousness is God—to rise in consciousness above the mind. . . Remember, my friends, we are limited only by our denials . . . judgment is a shadow upon the light of reason. . . the moment we accept that whatever happens to us is caused by us, we, in that moment, once again gain control over our destiny. . . God does not flow freely in our consciousness when we establish the laws of denial . . . Emotions are what we do with our suppressed and expressed desires in life. . . when you accept all your experiences as effects . . . when you really accept that, you will find that you are, in that moment, freed from the magnetic pull, demand, and compulsion to have what you want when you want it . . . to God within us all things are possible.”

CQA 15: “Fear is not a conscious function. . . fear is an emotional reaction based upon the seeming unknown. . . judgment in the human mind is not possible without the foundation of past experience. . . mathematics is the principle of perfect balance. . . We cannot understand what we have not first accepted, and we cannot first accept what we do not make an effort to understand. . . when we make the effort to control our breath, we will control our thought. And then this vehicle, designed for our soul to express through, will move where our soul inspires it to move. . . when our hindsight becomes our foresight, we will in truth gain insight. . . If we cannot or will not make the effort to control our breath, then it is of no benefit to attempt to control our thought, to control our mind. . . duty is based upon the Law of Personal Responsibility. . . gratitude is the door through which abundant good doth flow . . . Let us have no desire greater than the power that brings us truth.”

CQA 16: “One must learn to discern to be freed from judgment. . . Whenever we understand anything, there is no judgment. There is, however, discernment. . . It is only when we use the function of the mind that we are limited. . . Limitation is totally dependent upon mental substance. . . man is a law unto himself. . . To attempt to work on the effects of the law is a total waste of one’s energy. . . The tendency of our mind is to blame outside for the unwillingness to grow inside. . . The greatest difficulty for the human mind is to give up a thought that it cherishes. . . The moment we judge we own or possess, in that moment do we become the victim of that that we think we possess. Instead of it serving the purpose for which it has been designed, we begin to serve it. . . Our body, for the sake of our good health, does not require the hours of so-called sleep. It requires minutes of total consciousness for total rejuvenation. . . There is no freedom without discipline . . . there is no right or wrong to that which is neutral and divine.”

CQA 17: “The obstructions along our path in life are the things that we have identified with. . . it is indeed human to forgive, but we must remember that it is divine to forget. . . We cannot be freed from anything that we cannot first control. . . First, it must exist in a mental world to be experienced in a physical world. . . self-control, self-discipline, personal responsibility are inseparable. . . if it is discipline, does not deny. It does not deny the right of expression of the desires entertained by our mind. It simply places them under the light of reason and puts them in their proper perspective. . . . God helps those who help themselves by helping others, for God works through man, never directly to man. . . the stone the builder rejects becomes the cornerstone. . . We cannot grant to another what we have not first granted unto our self. . . We do not help people by doing things for them. We help people in the sense that we are the living demonstration to show them the way. . . We are the creators of the thoughts we think, the experiences we have. Our health, our wealth, and our happiness is dependent upon our own efforts to control our own creations. . . our abundant good is dependent upon what we have done with our thoughts.”
