An audio recording on compact disc of Church Lectures 5 and 6 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on December 5, 1971 and January 2, 1972.   CL 5: Levels of Awareness: “Many religions for untold centuries have spoken of have spoken of heaven and of hell . . . but the level of awareness that we have at this moment is the one that we will take into those other dimensions and, therefore, if we do not make the effort today to awaken this soul, then we are going to take with us all of our desires, all of our envies, and greeds and jealousies, all of our hates and all of our fears and all of our superstitions into what is termed an earthbound realm . . . All things that we experience are but the effects of the level we are expressing through at that moment.”   CL 6: Divinity and Direction: “When we truly awaken to the divinity within us our lives will become divinely directed. God does not give us health or its opposite. God does not give us wealth or its opposite. God Is. We and we alone make the choice whether we want to accept it or to reject it.”

An audio recording on compact disc of Church Questions and Answers 5 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on July 6, 1980.   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.”

An audio recording on compact disc of Church Lectures 59 and 60 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on October 3, and December 5, 1976.   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.”

An audio recording on compact disc of Church Lectures 91 and 92 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on July 1, and August 5, 1979.   CL 91: Reaping the Harvest: "This philosophy clearly teaches to put God into all our thoughts or to forget them . . . Man, we understand, is a law unto himself . . . Every experience in our life is absolutely necessary for our own evolution because we are a law unto our self . . . Unfortunately, we ofttimes look to others for a better way . . . We are the creators of the good in our life. We are the creators of the so-called bad in our life . . . if we choose to see the struggle, we cannot find the way of peace . . . But the false gods will not crumble and the false gods will not fall for us until we accept that all that we experience we created . . . because we did it to our self, we can do something better." CL 92: Fulfillment: "This philosophy, The Living Light, clearly shows that desire is the divine expression . . . the fulfillment of everything is ever within us . . . If you will make the effort to see the good in everything, to see the good in all thought, to see the good in all experience, then you will, by seeing the good, first have risen the good within your own consciousness . . . God can only do for you what you allow this Infinite Intelligence working through you to do for you . . . whatever we can blame outside as the cause of our problem, we do not have to face personal responsibility for it. And therefore, we have to make no changes in our attitude, no changes in our thought, no changes in our feelings . . . the moment that we stop blaming outside for what is truly going on inside, in that moment will we stop denying the demonstrable, eternal truth, which is known as personal responsibility. For when we deny truth, we deny God . . . he who judges another has first judged himself . . . We cannot grant to another what we have not first granted unto our self . . . It is when we hold to our thoughts and when we hold to things, that’s when our struggle begins . . . It is only difficult to let go of the things that we choose to be difficult to let go.”
