Building Spiritual Power Against Troubled Times

5/23/79

There are no such things as obstacles, there are only opportunities.
During troubled times, things may seem like a tragedy, but if we listen and reflect, we will be able to realize that the God is telling us this is not the door to go through anymore. You have a new door, a new opportunity, a new blessing.
When people get into a stream of consciousness that brings them out of attunement with the Divine, these thought patterns gain power, taking them more and more into a state of disharmony.
Conditions are neutral. We determine if they are good or bad according to our reaction to them.
