Excerpt from Gibson notes

When one refuses to take dominion, one becomes a "victim" of the environment. Man is given dominion because he has the possibility of faith, of making up the mind.

Teaching ideas

#55. If we discard all ideals we will not make any judgements.

#56. Peace: We have ceased to make anything important.

#57. Our circumstances are in balance to our inner state because because spirit acts on our inner state.

What's going on here excerpts

Some people are called successful by the fact of what they have learned to know, some by the fact of what they do, and some few by what they are.

Freedom and responsibility: the two sides of the the same idea that results in a driving force and inner peace at the same time.

The greatest treasure a person can find is Wisdom and understanding. Don't look for wisdom and understanding under a rock at the bottom of the sea. Look to see what really motivates yourself and others.

Only the power of inner strength allows a person to be gentle.

Information is one thing. Knowledge is something altogether different.

Phoenix 1/71 tape 2 excerpt

Reality is okay just like it is.

From Albuquerque 1977

I am responsible for my response to circumstance, but I am not responsible for the circumstance.

Our birthright is to be responsible - to be conscious
