An audio recording on compact disc of Church Questions and Answers 47 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on April 1, 1984.

CQA 47: “. . . in order to experience the truth that frees us, we cannot permit our minds to deny the Law of Personal Responsibility. . . to permit our self to think that there is something outside of our own consciousness that has the power or the potential to control our lives is a total denial of demonstrable truth. . . that type of giving, mental giving, is not from the heart. It’s from the mind and it must pay its just due of the dual law of creation. . . that which we are responsible for, that we do not make the effort to guide or control, sooner or later shall control us. . . all judgments, of course, are based upon a mental world . . . And so it is fear that causes discord, disaster, and war. . . if we permit ourselves to think that our beliefs and our thoughts are us, then we have a great struggle in life. . . as long as we believe in our own limit, then that’s all we can offer to the universe. . . We are our own obstruction. We also are the way. . . truth is individually perceived. That doesn’t mean that truth is individual. . . A wise man gives what he has to give in life and cares less what the receiver does with it. . . we grant to others what we have first granted to our self . . . the Law of Presence is the Law of Solicitation. . . in all disaster there is Divinity. . . For one must ask themselves why they feel good, as well as why they feel bad. . . to deny this power that flows through us by giving it so freely, in delusion, to something that is beyond our control is the path of suffering.”
