Time of Reading 3:35 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Penna.
1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [2441], born July 23, 1905 in Kane, Penna. The entity now seeks a Mental and Spiritual Reading, with information, advice and guidance as to making practical her spiritual, mental and material-physical abilities. You will then answer the questions she submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [2441]; the inquiring mind, and the application this entity has made of its mental, material and spiritual self thus far in this experience.
3. In giving suggestions that may be of aid, enabling the entity to fulfill the greater purposes in a spiritual, mental and material way in this experience, many things and conditions are to be considered.
4. As has been indicated, first the entity must within itself know it ideal, spiritually, mentally, materially; know the author, as to whether this may answer for every purpose that may be sought, for every experience - whether of a mental, spiritual, material or social nature.
5. These would be the first steps.
6. As from here, we would give - study that which inspired those words expressed in the 30th of Deuteronomy and in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of St. John. Not know only the record so as to be able to repeat same, but know it first as being directed from the spiritual influence from without to that spiritual influence within this body-mind. Thus make each phase of its life that which is held in its periods of meditation and prayer, as well as in the daily living in association, in connection with other individuals. This is the law that applies to those tenets expressed in: Know ye the Lord thy God is One. Know that He hath prepared a way. Know that He hath not willed that any soul should perish, but hath made the way plain - through Him who came into the world that man might have access to the Father. Know that He is indeed the way, the truth and the light, and they that would climb up some other way deceive themselves and would become robbers, robbing themselves of the assurance that He
2441-4 Page 2
came that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.
7. As ye live those precepts that are His - that is, ye shall love the father as thyself, with all thy heart, with all thy mind, with all thy body, thy neighbor as thyself, - ye manifest His glory - not justify self in any manner but rather glorify that spirit which He made manifest, who thought it not robbery to make himself equal with God, who hath called thee to be as brethren with Him; not as a servant but equal with Him, that He with the Father may abide with thee always; giving that peace which cometh with the abiding presence of Him in thy consciousness.
8. Then, as ye manifest before thy fellow man, as ye do unto the least of thy fellow man, ye do unto thy Lord, thy God. This is the fear of the Lord and the beginning of wisdom. Not that knowledge alone is the way. Though it may be power, such power may be used to self's undoing. For, there is a way that seemeth right to the children of men, yet the end may bring death. He is God, He is Savior, He is the Master of Life, not of death. He is God of the living, not of the dead.
9. In the application of those tenets, those principles, in dealing with others, they may be manifested in the fruit of the spirit - patience, longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, brotherly love. These are manifestations of the spirit of that Christ. In self they may grow, as is the ability in self to come to that knowledge, that awakening of His promises abiding ever in thee. And such administration of love may bring healing, in body, in mind, to others.
10. This is the mission, this is the purpose that ye may establish in Him; not of thyself but in Him. For as He abideth in thee, thus may there be aroused to activity in the mind, in the heart, in the purpose of others that which is ever creative, living, the spirit of eternal love and joy and hope.
11. For He has given - yea, hath by His own will and self established same - "If ye will ask in my name, believing, doing, BEING that ye ask for, that the Father will do; that He - that YOU - may be glorified in and through me."
12. That is the purpose, that is the way. For He is the way, the truth and the light.
13. Then, let not thy heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, but putting on the whole armor that is manifested in Him, study to show thyself approved unto Him, a workman not ashamed, rightly dividing the words of knowledge from the words of truth; manifesting wisdom in thy choice, and choose life - day by day.
14. Thus ye may come to that throne of grace and mercy and
2441-4 Page 3
light, in BOLDNESS. And thus may ye bring to thyself, to others, the knowledge - yea, the wisdom of serving the living God.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Would it be wise for me to make a change in my residence from ..., Penna., to Virginia Beach, Va., for the furthering of the work there? Should the house be sold in ...? (A) Do not sell the house under two years; it may be needed again for the furthering of other work to be done. If thine inner conscience guides thee to assist, to aid in the work that is being disseminated from those activities in Virginia Beach, then choose that as a place of residence temporarily, or until such directions may be given for expansion - or greater work.
17. (Q) Is it possible to know the destination and the duration of the service rendered by my husband in the present conflict? (A) This depends upon too great a number of other conditions, to give a definite period. Two years, though, should see the returning to a more normal experience for the husband.
18. (Q) My interests are diverse - which one should be emphasized in this incarnation? (a) Fourth-dimensional painting - is this possible for me? If so, how to proceed? Would it be of a service to others? (b) Healing with color and tone - is this possible for me? If so, what should be the next step? Training, study, associates in this work? (A) Healing is the better channel. That the manner of healing would be always with color or tone would not be in keeping with the diversity of disturbing influences in others. That this be made the only means may limit the ability, as well as the scope of work that might be accomplished. But begin in the study in association with those influences, if directed there, and be guided in the use of vibration - which is another phase of color, of course, and of tone. Oft THIS becomes necessary. For, as has so oft been given, and as demonstrated in the experience of the Great Physician, He met the needs of the individual, - whether by the spoken word, vibration, or application of means that attune - the dissenting tissue or body to the divinity that is in each soul, each body who has acknowledged, who lives in the Christ Consciousness.
19. (Q) What should be the next step and associates in this work? (A) Read what has just been given. We have just given it.
20. (Q) What is the main purpose of this incarnation? (A) To glorify the Christ-Consciousness in the earth - in
2441-4 Page 4
the lives of those with whom ye come in contact, and to live the same thyself.
21. (Q) Where may material be found on Purification which has been and is needed in body and mind for the attaining of the attunement to the Creative Forces? (A) In that study which has been pointed out. For, all is as of the first law - ONE. It lies within self.
22. (Q) What are the three major colors as manifested in the Personality, the Ego and the Monad? (A) Blue should be close to the body; white and gold.
23. (Q) The use of sound is needed in refining - what is the key and notes for me? (A) This will be awakened in the body-mind and consciousness as it attunes itself in the application of those tenets, those truths indicated in portions of the directions given.
24. (Q) Would colored light for my purification be of help? What type of light and where obtained? (A) As has been indicated - as ye seek the door is opened. For as He hath given, "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If ye will open, I will come and abide with thee." Know there was not anything made that was made that did not pass through Him. That abiding consciousness, then, will bring the knowledge of and the wisdom in applying same.
