Course III - Teaching 9: Sensible Spiritual States

We call sensible spiritual states those states of meditation or contemplation characterized by an intense emotional experience although of lofty and spiritual kind. Ordinary emotional states in meditation are active, with intense sensible movements.

Course III - Teaching 10: Dryness

Dryness takes place when the exercise of meditation does not give sensible responses. The Son, identified with the thought-desire projected by the mind, gets lost in the void of a sensibility that was consumed by emotional collisions of an uncontrolled mind.

Course III - Teaching 11: Idealization during Meditation

The idealization of the ego produces a kind of inner splitting and is sometimes expressed by the exercises of the Sons. The real need of the soul is not something that you choose arbitrarily, but what irresistibly arises within.

Course III - Teaching 12: To Love in Silence

In these times of confusion and uncertainty it is difficult to maintain an inner balance to allow a clear, impartial and passionless vision of things, life and oneself. So every effort should lead to be centered on oneself, to have a clear self-vision and to become conscious within.

Course III - Teaching 13: Creative Imagination

Man continuously dreams and does not get almost anything. The Son casts his divine dreams. Exercises of prayer are human techniques to get a divine result. It is quite suitable to rationalize methods of meditation, but one has to be careful not to rationalize the very prayer.

Course III - Teaching 14: Asceticism in Life

Certain souls particularly strive for practicing their spiritual exercises but do not get obvious results of this effort. The point is that they know how to meditate, but they know this alone.

Course III - Teaching 15: Renunciation in the World

Although the Son makes of Renunciation a utopian perfection state, he never can attain a full realized life. Also this false position leads to reject Renunciation as an unrealizable state for those souls that in the world dedicate most of their time and energy to the mere fact of being able to earn a living.

Course III - Teaching 16: The Idea of Renunciation

The highest mission is to maintain the Idea of Renunciation intact and pure, and to live and achieve it in life by realizing it totally. All that Cafh has, makes or preaches has no other sense than that of confirming and achieving Renunciation in Mankind.

Course IV - Teaching 1: The Voice of the Masters

Human beings do not find upon earth their wished peace and happiness. Only the detachment from transitory goods and achievement of the divine love can give peace and happiness to being.

Course IV - Teaching 2: Predestined Souls

The vocation of Cafh is supernatural. Therefore souls called to assemble and fulfill it are predestined. Of course, all human beings by their potential participation in the Divinity are called to spiritual life.
