hello everyone, i found this reading and thought i would post:

from ec and group dynamics by worth kidd (1971)

2537-1
....so soon as man contemplates his free will he thinks of it as a means of doing th eopposite of god's will, though he finds that only by doing god's will does he find happiness. yet, the notion of serving god sits ill with him, for he sees it as a sacrifce of his will. only in disillusion and suffering, in time, space and patience, does he come to the wisdom that his real will is the will of god, and in its practice is happiness and heavens.

262-3
as we open our hearts, our minds, our souls, that we may be a channel of blessings to others, so we have the mind of christ, who took upon himself the burden of the world. so may we, in our own little sphere, take upon ourselves the burden of the world. the joy, the peace, the happieness, that may be ours is in doing for other fellow. for, gaining an understanding of the laws as pertain to right living in all is phases makes the mind in attune with creative forces which are of his consciousness. so we may have that consciousness, by putting into action that we know.

q- should the christ-consciousness be described as the awareness within each soul, imprinted in the pattern on the mind and waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with god?

a- correct. that's the idea exactly! (doesn't this answer sound like dc today)
the soul, carrying the blueprint of the christ-consciousness is the real self. this is the part of us that is determine we shall grow; that we shall strip aside our materialistic ego's and achieve oneness with the father. we have free will. the choice of oneness or separateness is ours.

the lord thy god is one. 3376-2
