These spiritual awareness classes of the Living Light Philosophy were given through the mediumship of Mr. Richard P. Goodwin, the founder of the Serenity Association. Volume 9 begins a new series of classes, the Church Lectures. Unlike the Consciousness Classes, which were given to students of the Living Light, these lectures were given as part of the devotional services of the Serenity Spiritualist Church and delivered to the congregation, which included people who were new to this philosophy. This volume has 83 classes. All teachings of the Living Light are designed to guide us as we move along the path of progression, the inward journey that we all will take to awaken to our own Divinity. Mr. Goodwin wrote in the introduction that the teacher of this philosophy "makes clear that his lessons are not dogma, a creed or a narrow way, but simply his own understanding offered to us as a form of instruction to aid us in our own individual progression. When he speaks of Laws, he does not refer to man-made rules or moral traditions but to the cosmic and atomic way-things-are, the natural world of what-is, the universal laws of life, part of the original creative design and through which creation is fulfilled. These laws are beyond the possibility of being changed, suspended, transcended or destroyed but they are ever the tool of mankind, not his master. First, through our awareness of the universal laws and then slowly through our developed understanding, the powers of creation are accessible to us. Not power of men's minds and circumstances, but power over whatever is selfish and imperfect in ourselves is the way up the eternal ladder of progression. . . Go beyond the words into feeling, into the immediate meanings for you. Touch into the inspiration that flows into the form of this book. It is from the Divine."
