1. GC: We, the group designated as the healing group, have gathered here to seek through these channels to know the way Thou would have us work in bringing to others help in Thy name. Please clarify our minds as to the method and way for us to proceed in seeking to help others. You will answer any questions that will be asked.
2. EC: Yes, we have the individuals and the group as gathered here. In seeking for understanding, let each harken to what HE has to say:
3. Come, my children, lift up thine hearts that I may enter in. As ye have chosen me, so have I chosen you, that ye may be a blessing to those who seek in MY name to KNOW the truth as may be magnified in THEIR lives through THINE aid in me. Grace, mercy and peace, is given to those thou asketh for in the proportion as thy trust, thy faith, is IN me. As ye seek through raising in self that image of love in Him, so MAY thine self be lifted up, and the understanding come TO him who SEEKS for same.
4. (Q) Is there any danger in trying to heal someone else? (A) (After long pause) Questions - the promise as has been just made?
5. (Q) Should each of us as individuals, after raising the Christ's vibrations in ourselves, send these as individuals or through only one of our group? (A) "Where two or three are gathered in my name, THERE I will be in the MIDST of them," whether in thought or in person. Designations for individual separations in the group have been outlined, that one chooses the needs of the individual seeking the aid, another DESIGNATES who will BE the MESSENGER, with the aid of the group in the prayer, in the THOUGHT raised in the individual to be aided. Come together in ONE mind, as ONE purpose, ONE designated, as one, CLEANSING themselves in mind, in body, to be the messenger, or the channel for THAT individual. Each seeking

for aid may then be aided according to the faith in those that seek to aid in HIS name. These bring the strength of union in group, rather than individuals - who may in SELF find turmoil," when I WOULD do good, evil is present"; who, in being designated as a channel for an individual, may - with the consecrated effort on the part of others - bring that of a manifold strength to others. Come in singleness of heart, in ONENESS of purpose - knowing - knowing peace, mercy AND grace, is granted as the faith, the hope, is in Him.
6. (Q) Please outline a group meditation for us which will aid us in being of aid to others. (A) Our Father who art in heaven, HEAR our pleading for one of thine children, who in weakness has erred and seeks thy face! Mercy, O God, to us all, through Him who promised what we ask in HIS name will be done in this body!
7. (Q) What times would be best for our periods of meditation in which we seek to give aid to others? (A) Early in the morning, late in the evening. Or seven in the morning, six in the evening.
8. (Q) What connection must be established with those we are trying to help? (A) As of old, he that would be aided must seek - even as has been indicated. As has been given, let all things be done in order. Seeking, knowing - as ye measure, as ye act in thought, in mind, in heart, in body, and the imaginations of thine self become MATERIALIZED in other's actions.
9. (Q) How often, and how, should we conduct our group meetings? (A) As often as seemeth well unto thee. Let all do with their might what their hands find to do. As the call comes from others seeking aid through you, then seek aid from the others through THEIR cooperation in bringing strength, power, and the magnifying of HIS name in THEIR lives and in others.
10. (Q) Please explain why the Master in many cases forgave sins in healing individuals. (A) Sins are of commission and omission. Sins of commission were forgiven, while sins of omission were called to mind - even by the Master.
11. (Q) How should the group make itself known to those whom it might help? (A) Fear not that thine work will not find an outlet, once there is union of purpose. Has He not said, "Be joyous in that I have chosen THEE, as THOU hast chosen me and ye may be lights in MY name"?
12. We are through.
