Hey Phoenix,
I'm not aware of any such passage in the Law of One books. Which isn't to say that there does not exist a seed thought in the material which has bloomed into, through the soil of your own mind, the understanding which you have communicated below. There may very well be.
If it does exist however it is not in my memory database (the one located in the brain).
I have encountered many instances of people being certain that they've read such and such statement in the Law of One books and upon searching through the material or cross-checking with some of the Law of One walking encyclopedias out there (Jim McCarty and Tobey Wheelock to name a couple), they discover that the material in their mind was from another source whose information was congruent with, or similar enough to, the message of the Law of One. I am equally guilty of this as well. And I probably could have said this in 70% fewer words. : )
At any rate, my punditry: ALL house guests, whether welcomed or unwelcomed, cherished or despised, fed or starved, will each serve a function which benefits the overall good of the house when each is greeted with loving, gentle, focused, accepting, and differentiated awareness - the awareness of equanimity.
All-encompassing, this awareness is identical with unity and abhors nothing. Greeting each guest with compassion and focus, it irresistibly entices each guest to unwrap and open the hidden and undisclosed gift which the guest had brought for the Self (the "master" of the house) - the gift of liberation.
Though certain guests as sorrow may be not one's preferred company, once they are exposed to the organizing light of your own steady and centered awareness, they will settle down, find their place, and reveal to you their empty nature - returning to you the portion of your identity that they had assumed.
Love and Light!

Quote:Session 1
However, the priests and peoples of that era quickly distorted our message, robbing it of the, shall we say, compassion with which unity is informed by its very nature. Since it contains all, it cannot abhor any.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, but love unexplained is clearer. - Rumi
