“Beloved Ones, you are compelled to move among the unawakened of mankind everywhere – you cannot escape them; but that does not mean you have to yield to the unfortunate conditions which are there.
You, as Students of the Light and having the Strength and Power of your “Presence” – may move among mankind, untouched by its discord.
You can only do that as you refuse to listen to and accept conversation which is less than Perfection.
These are very simple things, but oh, they are powerful in your Life! This is why We keep returning you again and again to these fundamentals.
We shall keep calling your attention to them, so do not get tired of it, because We are going to continue until this power of refusal becomes so anchored within you, that you are alert every instant and refuse acceptance of every discordant thing into your feeling world.
It is not a matter of persons, places, or conditions, Dear Ones – not in any sense. It is just a condition which will take your attention off your “Presence” and place it upon the discord.
Do not blame persons, places, nor conditions for it. Just say to your human self: “Now hold on! You are not going to this any more. I am responsible here for what is in my world! If I accept and listen to this thing, it will have to act out in my world. I am firm and positive! I do not let any more of this come into my world!”
If you will do that with determined firmness, you will have no difficulty.”
God Himalaya
