Q.62

The following are some specific cautions/warnings given by Christ.

There are many who have experienced a little ‘burst of insight’, have briefly felt a touch of ‘Divine Consciousness’ and then, hardly daring to continue to believe in such a transcendent moment of awareness, have begun to question, doubt and finally dispel the little inflow of ‘Divine Consciousness’. Beware you do not do this. Disbelief will set you back, enmesh you in the material plane of existence more than you will ever know. (L5)

Whatever you are given and able to receive ⎯ hold fast to it and do not doubt. (L5)

Doubt destroys steady progress because it creates its own ‘consciousness forms’ which will suppress and even eradicate the insight you had gained previously. (L5)

Therefore, your choice of thoughts ⎯ belief or disbelief, doubt or faith ⎯ construct or destroy your progress in your search for TRUTH. (L5)

Any denial erases from your consciousness the progress which has been previously made. (L5)

No matter where you may be on earth, what trouble you may be in, what disgrace you are facing, what lack of money may be dogging you, right within you, around and above you, you have the SPIRITUAL MEANS on which to call with all your heart and mind ⎯ and the answer will surely come ⎯ IF YOU DO NOT DOUBT. (A3)

The higher you ascend in spiritual truth, the more powerful do your thoughts become. (L5)

Therefore, create and hold fast to your own spiritual momentum and allow no one to intrude and undermine that momentum. (L5)

Hold firm to your former perceptions. In times of doubt, cruise along in positive thoughts, using enlightening affirmations, clinging to earlier inspirational guidance when your consciousness frequencies of vibration were higher. By use of your willpower, choosing affirmations containing ‘golden nuggets’ of spiritual Truth, return to this higher level of consciousness again and again. (L5)

Do not, through mental laziness, wholly surrender to the ebb and flow of spiritual consciousness energies and become a spiritual ‘see-saw’. (L5)

I cannot emphasize this danger of self-obstruction strongly enough. Become actively aware of it. (L5)

I tell you truly ⎯ you may trust my words implicitly ⎯ if you persevere, there will come a moment when you actually feel the contact, and know that you have made contact. (L6)

You have then reached a most crucial time in your spiritual/human development! (L6)

For a few hours so many souls feel uplifted and joyful but then the daily cares intrude into their minds, and they intellectualise the experience. They explain it away in human terms. (L6)

Do not do this ⎯ for you will lose what you have been given! (L6)

You will greatly delay your spiritual progress. (L6)

It is weakening to the soul to need another agent as a spiritual ‘crutch’, therefore, to depend even on myself must be recognised as a temporary measure. (L7)

Know that my Christ Consciousness is with you always and you can have immediate access to me when you call. (L7)

Let this be a comfort to you — but not a crutch. (L7)

Do not judge the inner development of any species, human or otherwise, by their outer physical bodies. (L7)

All living things are individualised out of the same Divine Life. (L7)

CRITICISM is the biggest obstruction of all to inner happiness because it is highly destructive. (A11)

It is reflected in the person’s life because when you judge, judgement comes home to roost, as the saying goes. (A11)

Criticism of others interferes with their wellbeing and consequently, as we damage others even in the slightest, again, the damage will return with interest. (A11)

Therefore, when you undertake to walk Christ’s Way, you must understand that it is a path of relentless self analysis and finding the courage to look at your actions in the light of LOVE, willing to see the truth about your thought and emotions. (A11)
