“Let Me say to you, Beloved Ones, for I am talking right straight to your Hearts tonight, so don’t love me any less for it: Who is there among the Student Body who is so Perfect that he or she can afford to criticize another? If there is anyone in the audience who is that Perfect, please stand up. Thank you very kindly. (applause)
You see, if all humanity were Perfect, or ever were, of course the Earth could not hold them here! You see that is the great proof.
Therefore, you cannot afford to fill your thoughts and feelings with qualities which make you like the qualities and conditions you criticize or condemn.
Oh, My Dear Ones, let us put it from another angle. Do you not see – for the Messengers have said this so many times, but I think it is well worth repeating – when your attention is upon a discordant quality, whether it is an individual, a condition, your government, your city, or whatever it is, if you allow your minds and feelings to revolve on that point, you will charge that quality into your own feeling world; and it has to outpicture as sure as you were born.
You cannot prevent it, My Dear Ones! Therefore, you cannot afford to do it.”
Now, suppose there are a lot of things which need correcting. Remember, in the correction of all conditions, just pour forth the Mighty Power of the Light Rays into them; but do not be discordant and do not feel angry, critical, or condemnatory to individuals who may be lending themselves to wrong activity!
You pile more upon them of that from which you are calling to be free!
For instance, let us take this illustration for the moment – the politicians in your city and country. Well, a lot of them are wholly destructive – there is no use mincing words about that.
But if you are angry, critical, or condemnatory because they do things which create injustice, well, you are just frustrating your Mighty Call for the correction of the whole thing.
Your feeling must go forth in order to do this, and don’t you see – if it goes forth with a kindly feeling, it releases the Full Power of the Light in Its Purity and Perfection to go forth with Its Almighty Power to render the Service.”
Mighty Victory
