The study of truth is the smallest part of our life's demonstration. Far too many students study too much. It takes a very small statement of truth to spark our consciousness into action, and it is that action that brings about the development of our spiritual consciousness. It is not what we read that does it,; it is what we do with what we read that does it. -- Joel Goldsmith, "Consciousness Is What I Am," pp 67-68
And there it is. Not until I quit seeking for the "right" spiritual author, book, Way was I freed from my own feeling of limitation, looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains. I no longer seek new books, authors, ways to reach enlightenment...which doesn't mean I don't read new material, I do. But my focus is on doing what I have learned.
The Sermon on the Mount was my first third-eye opener...whatever I read from that point on unto today must agree spiritually with the Sermon. That's my test of the newbie's authenticity to me no never mind if it fits another or even a million others.
According to me, we are all on the same path going in different directions. No matter the direction we take, God is our goal whether or not we know it.
The Father knows....
Thank you.
