Weekly Passage - for week of 2/1/04 "It is true that we do receive punishment for our wrongdoing, but from what source does that punishment come? The punishment is never from God: it is from the state of consciousness that brought about the sin. In other words, if we believe that we lack to such an extent that we are willing to steal to satisfy our needs, it is our belief in lack that is punishing us; or if we think that taking somebody else's property can enrich us, we are going to suffer from that belief because we cannot avoid suffering from what we accept in our consciousness." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "Man Was Not Born to Cry" Chapter 10 - The Meaning of Prayer Return to the 2004 Weekly Passage Archive Page
