Time of Reading ... Street, 4:00 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Philadelphia, Pa. (Body & enquiring mind - Physical suggestion - Questions. South-north Polarization.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [531], present in this room; this we have had before.
2. In the physical forces of the body we find as these conditions existent, and these have made for improvements from that as we have had before in many ways. Yet we find specific conditions that disturb the body at times.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them, comparing same with that as we have had here before:
4. The BLOOD SUPPLY as related to the nerve energies shows an improvement in the manner especially in which the secretions from the glands make for activities to the physical functionings and their reactions in the system. Yet these carry with them in the present much of that which has not become tonal, or activative in the manner that should make for or should be perfectly coordinant with the system. This arises in the system from this form of a humor in the effluvia or the urea of the blood supply itself, producing in the axis a pressure that is a too great strain for the reversing of the activity to the impulses in the system. Hence at the 1st, 2nd cervical, or at the axis or base, we find the filling up of those associate connections between the impulses of the sympathetic system and of the cerebrospinal system governing the inlet, as it were, to the motivative forces within the brain centers to act upon those reactions in the carrying out of the forces in the body itself, see?
5. This produces these reactions where the body becomes, then, as supersensitive, through the sympathetic body. And being of the natural high tension, high nerve forces, makes for pressures in this center. Not that the sources of that assimilated have not improved. Not that the sources of reinfectious forces have not been corrected a great deal.
531-5 Page 2
But that there has not as yet been as perfect coordination of reaction as there should be.
6. As we find, we would apply occasionally the adjustments in the cerebrospinal system; this once a week or twice in a week at times when there are special strains.
7. Yet each day we would take those vibrations from the low electrical vibration of the Radio-Active Appliance; this as the body rests for thirty minutes or forty-five minutes, just before retiring. This appliance would be to the extremities in most periods, but once each week for an hour make the application of the first anode attached to the base or the 1st and 2nd cervical, and the other last attached at the umbilici and lacteal duct area centers. Not necessary that there be larger anodes or plates, but these attached here, you see, on Wednesdays of each week. At other periods the attachments would be made to the opposite extremities of the body.
8. Then, be mindful of the diet as has been indicated. Not necessary that there be any specific medicinal properties taken internally in the present; for we would rather make for a coordinating of the energies as indicated in the corrections already made.
9. In the mental applications of the body, keep in that same attitude of expressions, in specifically entering into the inner consciousness through those periods of mediation, where there may be more and more that meeting, that coordinating of the influences from within to the Creative Forces that make for energizing of the mental abilities as related to creative energies, and finds expressions in the activities to and through its relations to the fellow man.
10. These will make for those great periods of relaxation from the mental energies that are used from the physical forces of the body. These will make for the strengthening of the spiritual attributes that manifest in the experience of every individual. And more and more does harmony in the physical forces, harmony in the mental application, come in such ways and manners as to bring the greater forces, the greater influences for constructive activity of the body, the mind, the soul.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Would Florida be a suitable location for my activities? (A) As we have indicated through the associated activities of the entity, Newark or the vicinity makes for the correct environmental forces; though Florida, especially the northern portion - or Jacksonville - may be MADE, by the creative forces of the body-activities itself, an acceptable place for general physical and material activities of the body.
531-5 Page 3
The CORRECTING of the vibrations within self will make for much greater harmonious influences in the surroundings. But if the inner self receives the answer through its own meditative forces, it is better than to say through these sources that this or that environ would be the best. If with the entering into self, PHYSICALLY, the answer is that it would be better - that is, get the answer from the mental attitude of self, Yes or No. Then enter into the meditative forces and ask, Is the answer as received in self Yes or No? And this coordinating will be the correct move. Each soul-entity must depend upon the awakening from within more and more. For His promises have been, "If ye will be my children, I will be your God." CLAIM that relationship. DEMAND of Him that recognition, and He fails NOT!
13. (Q) What should be my life work for the greatest possible service to mankind? (A) That which has been indicated, in the distribution and in the association of that which feeds the body-physical, the mind-mental, the body-spiritual. These, in its associtations, in its environs, make for that channel as we have indicated through which the greater good, the greater development for self may come. For more and more does the entity come to an awareness, or awaken to the realization, that in order to have one must give. To have friends one must show self friendly. To have love and respect, to have honor and those attributes of same, one must show self LOVELY through its associations with its fellow man; respectful, glorifying that which is an attribute OF the spirit of truth in EVERY way in which one meets or finds self in the experience of others. If one shows self lovely to the entity, then EXPRESS it in the activities, in the creative manner, and this MAGNIFIES same in self's experience - whether in distribution of this, that or the other. The fruits of the soil that feed the physical man, that cheer the mental attributes, that awaken the spiritual awareness; these are the channels and fields of activity.
14. (Q) Please give me specific directions or instructions for expressing my soul power, and explain what my particular faculties of expression should be and how I should employ them. (A) In making practical application of those attributes that are seen, in the activities of others, as just indicated, it is in purifying self in mind, in body, in the ways and manners as to make self the greater channel through which the attributes of the spirit and the fruits thereof
531-5 Page 4
may grow and manifest themselves. Not that some great deed may be sought to be accomplished, but here a little, there a little, line upon line. As He has given, let each day be sufficient unto its good, unto its evil thereof. For these, my friend, are the fruits of the spirit: Kindness, gentleness, brotherly love, faith, hope. These in thy daily life bring harmony in thine own experience. Thou canst be gentle with thy neighbor, thy associates, thy friends that ye contact day by day. PATIENCE, fellowship with them in the same way and manner. This does not mean to be so quiet as to become dormant, but an activative force, a cheery work, a smile, a grand handshake, and experience that these things are expressed in thine own life. Give these out to others and the day becomes much cheerier, much happier, and soon there will be such a fullness of joy in the material life, in the mental life, in the spiritual life, as to make for its experiences more and more becoming worth while to the fellow man and to self. As an expression of same, here: In thy contacts thou hast brought much to many. These are gradually showing in thine own activities, in thine own satisfaction. Not to the glory of self does it come, but as to making thy life and thy experience more and more interesting, more and more worth while, more and more joy in thy daily activities.
15. (Q) Are there any specific demonstrations that I should attempt in developing myself? (A) These will come in their own place, in their own time. He that seeks for a SIGN is rather in the position of one that would be secured in the beginning, and lessens his faith. But as one manifests those attributes, these bring to the body-consciousness, body-awareness, the experiences necessary for the awakening. For, as thou has experienced in thine inner self, when thou hast opened the door of thine inner consciousness, thou hast found Him waiting to speak with thee. Fear not, for ye will be assured again and again that thou hast chosen the better way.
16. (Q) There has come to my mind a thought now. How did you see it, as a realization of evil or good? (A) A realization of good. For these, in thy associations and in thine desire to help, in these varied channels, will make for the opening of the ways to a better, a greater understanding. Let thy entering in be in accord with that in the manner that ye may purify thy body according to the dictates of thine inner conscience, as you would enter in to glorify thy Lord and thy Master, purging the body, purging the mind,
531-5 Page 5
purging the self in such manners. For, He has given, no sacrifice is acceptable save as of the DESIRES of self to be one with Him. Not the blood of rams or of goats, not of denials of this or that; but rather the manifestations of POSITIVE activity, knowing His strength and power is sufficient, and that in whatsoever ye may find constructive forces manifesting, He is there. For, as has been said of old: "If I take the wings of the morning to fly into the utmost parts of the earth, He is there. Though I descend into the bowels of the earth, or into the depths of the sea, He is there. Though I make my bed in hell, He is THERE." That promise, "When ye call I will hear, for I am closer than thy hand, closer than thy inner self." OPEN thy heart, thy mind, that He may enter in.
