CQA 49: “For it is through the over-identification with oneself that we find our problems in life. . . The reason that we react to the experiences we encounter is simply from a lack of effort to control our own mind. . . prejudice is to prejudge any experience that we encounter. . . Now to presume, which is to prejudge based upon past experience, is indeed a most detrimental expression for the human mind. . . to presume, to prejudge, is to reveal to our self that we are prejudging each and every opportunity that’s coming our way. . . to presume is based upon what we have already personally experienced. And to assume something is the lazy way of the human mind not to even bother to go through the process of presuming. . . Man shall never find anything more blinding or deafening than desire. . . a temptation, that which tempts us, reveals to us where our weaknesses are. . . Now the laws of creation clearly reveal to us that which is created is subject to the Law of Duality. . . man relies upon what he has already experienced for a false security. . . we must move from belief to faith. . . Nature reveals itself: that which sustains a thing is greater than the thing which it sustains. . form exists in the realm of consciousness known as belief. . . As you believeth, you becometh. . . So man is limited when he believes. Man is free when he moves in faith. . . But what man refuses to accept is that his denials are effects of his own beliefs.”
