CQA 52: “. . . joy is the effect of the expression of gratitude. . . the opportunity of experiencing joy is ever available to us. . . the ability and the willingness to make changes in our life is ever dependent upon the degree of control that we have of our own mind. . . belief is a device of the human mind to keep us from making intelligent effort that we may finally accept that we are not the thought that passes through our mind, that we are in truth the Power that moves the thought, that we are not the judgment that binds us to discord and disharmony. But we are the power used by mental substance to create that bondage, that victimization, and that slavery. . . Misery not only loves company, without company it does not exist. . . When our goodness and our God is dependent upon what our mind and physical body can do at any given moment, then our God is demonstrably the false gods, the golden calves that someday in our consciousness are destined to crumble.”
