1. [900]: You will have before you the body of [900], present in this room. You will have him in relation to the knowledge he seeks, that he may serve not only the beginners but that that is asked of him even by those of the more advanced who serve with him on the Board.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the seeking mind activity of the entity [900], and those conditions as surround same, both of the material and cosmic influence, or etheric influence of the entity's experience both in the times to come and times as have been. In the seeking get understanding, and as the understanding is able to be disseminated to others so may that understanding be more applicable in the individual life. Think well of the experience of the wise one [Solomon?] who in his day spoke in a way and manner as to give the better knowledge to peoples of all ages and conditions, yet in harkening to the material surroundings that this understanding brought in the middle life experience brought consternation and vexation of spirit, and in the ability to pass that knowledge to even those that would rule "mine people" brought divisions and the setting up of the worship of the earthly forces rather than of spiritual emanations from same. And for the very work's sake the division came not in his day, yet only in Josiah was it given to again approach even the threshold of the understanding as was necessary for the deliverance of a portion of the peoples even sufficient to keep the natural lineage of the promised one. Heed, then, those instructions as may come to those that are lords of the way, that leads to the way of dissemination, even as assimilation does in a physical being - which is being interpreted for peoples in THINE undertaking. As these lords then would direct, kick not against the pricks - for it is hard to attempt even to read into the ways that are given thee that of thine OWN, thine OWN, understanding, when instructions are given. This, mine son, not that consternation or worry should come to the undertakings - but rather that there may be in Israel that perfect knowledge of the UNDERSTANDING, and the ability
900-428 Page 2
to give TO mine people, thy people, the Lord's hosts, the knowledge that there is still that succor in the seeking of the ways of the Lord in the manner as has been given even from Gibia (?) [Geba] unto Gezer [Gaza] even from Dan to the days of Og. In this undertaking thou hast set a noble cause, and in the activities of self keep the ways clear. To thee the lord of the ways, even Michael, will direct - even Hezekiah and Ezekiel will bring to thine aid those builders even as builded with thee in the Holy City, and in the race plant that knowledge that he that seeks first the knowledge of the directing spirit from within will have added glory, honor, and all those earthly endowments that are endearing to the hearts of men. Be not led then astray in any manner, not allowing self to be drawn from these ways as may be pointed out, and even as has been given there will come the ability - in the application of the knowledge gained - the understanding as is being sought. Be not dictatorial, nor lording in thine own activity. Rather humble in spirit, that the Micah of old may say oft in thine hearing, this day THIS is fulfilled in thine hearing, that "I will establish my name in the place appointed, and I will feed mine peoples and they shall not be scattered abroad; for even as the knowledge comes let IT be disseminated among those who seek to know the lamb that taketh away the sins of mine people, and their transgressions shall be remembered no more, and sickness and sorrow and tears shall be wiped away - " for He who came in the flesh will establish His name there. Through thine efforts then, my son, be faithful. I have spoken. I, Jeremiah, the servant of the King.
3. (Q) In that experience that correlates with that just given, in which I was kneeling at prayer and raised up and it was spoken to me as I was thinking of the prophets of old, even as thou Jeremiah, saying to me "And there shall be none equal unto thee." (A) Hosea giving his blessings, my son, even through the tribulations in which he excelled - even as the humble messenger to a doubting peoples led astray by the divers conditions in the earth. In THINE day there is that as is more in keeping with the periods of rest and peace, and all cry peace - when there is no peace save in the more perfect knowledge of the divine seeking expression through those of the spiritual and material worlds; and as thou prayest keep not only those in mind who foretold of the days to come but be thou the prophet and the teacher, and He that showed the way and who sitteth at the right hand of the Father will bear thee up and thou will not dash thy foot against a stone, neither will these become stumbling blocks wilt thou

but keep thy hand in His - for He has given thee, "Lo I am with thee from the PRESENT unto the end of the world! What thou asketh in my name BELIEVING that will the Father give thee," and thou shalt have the desire of thine heart will thine heart be kept in accord with His gospel - which alone is, "Thou shalt have no other God before me, saith the Lord of hosts," and "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thine self." Put not then the cup
of misunderstanding nor a stumbling block in the way of the weakest brother, but rather be the burden bearer for those who cry "Abba Father give, give, of thy strength through me. Let mine eyes behold the glory of him who suffered that I might know there was the way established again to the Father of all in all, and in Him we live and move and have our being." Even as Michael in the way defended from the wicked one the body of the lawgiver of thine people, mine people, even as this mighty lord of the way defended him may he defend THEE in the ways thou goest, if thou will only keep thy hand in the Master's hand.
4. (Q) Regarding the experience of night before last in which I actually entered among those of the so-called living death and experienced life to be a wave motion - (A) This only the beginning of the more perfect understanding of the continuity of forces as are one, whether separated into the mystic's force of indulating wave links or into the chemist's vision of atoms' force in alchemy or chemistry, or whether of the engineer's division of power as in the forces as may be applied in the breaking up or changing of the elements in their activity, whether as of the fourth dimensional force of electrical combustion or of that of the gaseous explosion or of the steam's condensing, in each activity there is that same wave activity - as seen in the continuity of the soul's expansion to meet the needs of that sphere in which it finds itself seeking expression; for as the way may be directed so may the soul seek that it has created in its activities in whatever sphere its activity finds expression. In this manner, then, much will come to thee in the knowledge of the fact that law, love, are one - even as the forces in all nature are one - as is necessary for the budding of the acorn or the flowering of the rose, each seeking through that phase of its position given in nature or this sphere to express that appreciation of the gift of its Creator. Only man abuses that given. How great then may his estate be! How low may he sink through the non-application of that first law of "Thou shalt have no other God before me"! We

are through for the present.
