ACCEPTANCE

“Acceptance, the will of God. We all have acceptance. It is the limit of our acceptance. It is the limit, the effect of judgment, that truly is our problem in life. Look at the struggle and ask yourself the question, “Am I accepting the right of this expression and, in so doing, moving on to something better? Or am I denying this experience, the effect of my own thought?” You see, my friends, it all comes back to the very foundation of personal responsibility. When we accept that life is an effect and we, deep within, are the cause, when we truly accept that, then we accept all experience the right thereof. We accept its right to return unto us. And once having done so, we flood our consciousness with that which we have chosen to become.

Many ways this same truth has been given to you. Place your attention—the door through which the intelligent energy flows—place your attention on what you have chosen and desire to become; remove your attention from that you choose to overcome. When you remove your attention from the obstruction in your life, the way will appear. But first you must accept the right of that expression. And once having done so, when you truly accept something, my friends, especially when it’s those chickens that have come home to roost, when you accept them, in that moment you face the personal responsibility of having created them. When you continue to deny and to refuse the return of those chickens, the ones you have created, then the battle goes on and on and on and on and on.

Accept the return that you may move on in life to gain what is yet waiting for you. But you cannot see when you permit the mind to view the door that has closed. Look for that which is in front of you. It’s ever within. It’s waiting patiently for your acceptance, but you cannot experience it as long as you are expressing denial. As long as you battle the return, the return will continue to control you. It is the very purpose of these classes: to show you a way, through applying the laws revealed, to be free from these experiences. But, my friends, it is taking place in many ways.”
