Chapter 4 - GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS
VERSUS SENSE-CONSCIOUSNESS - 22
PUPIL: Then if our truly fine desires are the desires of God Himself
trying to manifest in and through us as individuals, in some particular
way, why are there so many misfits in life? Why are there so very few
who are doing, really doing, just what they would like to do? Why are
there so very, very few living the life they truly wish to live? Why? Why?
Why? Surely God can fulfill His own desires.
MASTER: Unless all things are possible to God then nothing is possible
to Him.
God has projected each human forth from Himself, each of us
possessing an individual mind, for the sole purpose of manifesting
Himself and His glory through us. Verily the mind of man is the son of
God! The Son has been given absolute liberty. Each can always make of
his life, for a time at least, whatsoever he may choose.
Man already
possesses everything that God had to give him!
Each person can make
or mar his own picture, exactly as he wishes. By nature man is free to
draw from the Ever-Present Parent Mind anything, and all things, that
he requires to fulfill his desires.
If this is not true then God's highest
creation, man, is a mere nothing, an automatic something like a clock
which when once wound will run until it runs down. Man IS, however,
God's own idea in flesh.
The Intelligent Life in man is man's Divine
Father! Man is already perfect and complete, IS made of the same
essence as his Father (God)!
There is only one reason why every mortal does not manifest and
reproduce the Life, Love and Beauty which we see brought out in such
radiance and perfection in all of Nature, manifested in Nature to the
extreme point where mechanical and automatic actions can bring them.
But we as individuals have a Law of Being that is somewhat different in
one way from that which governs the other creatures that are of the
world we call Nature. For us that are human the only perfect
reproduction of Life, Love, Power and Beauty that we can ever know
must come from Liberty. That is to say we have freedom of choice that is
commensurate with that of the Originating Life-Spirit Itself. In other
words we as individuals have the liberty of accepting or rejecting either
good or evil, exactly as we may choose them. And the choice that we
make results from the state of our consciousness. If we are God-conscious,
we are gods. But if we are sense-conscious only, then we are
creatures of darkness, of illness, of poverty, of loneliness, and all other
things that are undesirable. "Choose ye well, therefore, whom ye will
serve!" God-consciousness or sense-consciousness, which?
