An audio recording on compact disc of Church Questions and Answers 56 of the Living Light Philosophy, given through the mediumship of Richard P. Goodwin on April 7, 1985.
CQA 56: “. . . the blissfulness of ignorance is very short-term . . . belief is limited to and dependent upon a mental world and the minds of men. . . The longer we choose to make no effort to awaken, the longer we believe in the so-called bliss or absence of personal responsibility in our life does not keep us free from it. . . we find that our world is subject to and is dependent upon what we accept and what we reject. . . We find in life that which we deny or reject we are destined to experience. . . our adversities are guaranteed to become our attachments. . . we cannot grant to another what we do not first grant unto our self. . . if we insist on denying our right to abundant good, then we do not have that to grant to others. . . There is the potential of good in all things. . . The only thing that puts the light out for us is what we know as our own thought, our own judgments. . . It does not benefit man to have a perfect physical body at the expense of losing peace of mind. . . It is our belief that is our bondage. It is our own belief that is the obstruction to the goodness that we are. . . life is what you choose to make it. . . When we permit our self to believe that our God, our goodness, our happiness, our joy is what someone else does, what someone else doesn’t do, then we have opened the doors to slavery and become one of the willing workers.”
