EC: Now, we have the body, the mind of the body of [
137] as
respecting those visions innately experienced through those
of the presented self as was guided by the paternal father in
the experience in the earth's plane as Jude. The entity in
this experience is able to see self in the light of how the
development of self in a physical, mental manner, may be
guided even in the ways as the sincerity of self in promise
to those that would aid in alleviating pain, giving the
understanding to those that seek, making the paths straight
for those that err unwittingly, and directing the feet of
those that seek light in this mundane sphere of experience -
and as the self visions the experience, the GROWTH in an idea
and IDEAL is seen even as in the days when Jude - as the
younger brother - felt that this was but a questioning of
fates as drew people to an idea of an ideal life, an ideal
experience; yet fostering same there is experienced in the
heart and mind of the man, as the years go by - and as the
individual cries out, in how that there is left no way in
which man may find access to the knowledge of the Creative
Energy, of God, save through Him who had given Himself in no
UNCERTAIN way and the path is made straight for those that
seek the light through the expressing in self's earthly
experience those of - not dejection in self, not making self
of the way of those that would bring physical pain for the
mere presenting to a peoples a phase of persecution in self -
but rather that those that do such become as clouds without
water, that only cast a shadow - and it does no man good,
either in the way of reflection or in the experiences of a
material life; but only in the LIVING OF the ideal, only in
the practising of that preached - on the belief in the
oneness of self with that whole universal force - and in the
application of self in same may one gain the full
understanding; and, as is still visioned, the entity becomes
in the practise of same even as "my son Jude" did. So may
"David" [GD's note: David was [
137]'s middle name in this
life, which EC said it would be well to call him.] in this
present experience become the interpreter, the director, in
the field of the prophecy and the prophet to "mine peoples,"
and to those and to Him who teaches Israel in the ways that
go down by the sea - and in directing these, even self may
choose - even as the brother in that experience brought self
again into a material world to still magnify that name - that
name - that becomes on every tongue that of the CRUCIFIED one
in the manner that self is crucified to the fleshly desires,
that the spirit of man be not proud - but rather preferring
the spirit of the Holy One before self, and considering the
neighbor as thine self.
Then, in the manner as experienced may the entity - may the
body present self, so conduct, so guide, so direct others as
to bring MANY an one to a more perfect understanding - and
may the work of the hands be blessed in thy EARTHLY days,
even as thou wilt be and hast been blessed through the
understanding that may be delivered from thine own directing
force - thine father, even the carpenter, who brought through
those trying days of the dwellings in the holy land - thine
own understanding to the minds, the hearts, of a waiting
people.
Then, bind up thine feet - My Son, keep thine ways aright,
knowing there is the advocate with the Father, even as thy
own self had before the foundations of the earth were laid -
and as the foundation of that school may be laid in the
efforts of thine own hand as a material witness of the
physical, the mental, and the spiritual attributes of those
that gather under thine guiding hand, so keep the ways, the
feet, the hands of those that direct same, and when thou art
called into account of those deeds done IN the body, blessed
will be those that come under the directing of thine
endeavors! Keep - Keep - the faith - the promise in thine
self, that WE - in THIS plane - may keep in thee the guiding
light to many a soul seeking the way. Ready - Ready - Let's
Go!
(Q) Will [
900] and I be established in the university as
predicted in the prophecy?
(A) Will self keep that as is committed unto thy keeping,
then the promises are sure in David - and in THINE efforts
will much good come to mine people, and as the prophets -
which the self understood, as the recorder for Ezekiel - so
will those records made by self in THAT institution become a
light to the world in understanding of what is written in
Gezer(?). [Gizeh?]
(Q) Will my wife precede me in death and will I be able to
foretell my own death as given in the prophecy?
(A) Even as thine earthly brother gave, "I go up to be bound
of those that know not what they do" - even so will self be
able to know within self that which is to take place in
material planes. Be not overcome by much knowledge. Be not
overdone nor undone by that as may be given. Remember, mine
son, that thou saidst of him who DID wage war - even with
Him - concerning the body of Moses, whom thou may even direct
- that though he recognized his power, yet railed he not -
but said, "God will deal with thee." Not of thine OWN power
may these forces be done - but flesh and blood may manifest a
spiritual truth, but may not ORDER a spirit in ANY direction!
Aid and succor may come THROUGH flesh and blood, even to
those near the pit - yet there is fixed that impassable gulf,
and he that makes his will one WITH the FATHER may be
committed a care through His direction. Keep that as is
given, my son, and err not in well-doing; for oft, as has
been said, those that call upon the forces only in distress
may be heard from afar. Keep thine self CLOSE, that those
that would direct may be ever near thee - for the stumbling
block ALWAYS lies in self-aggrandizement of power and ability
stored in one's own self, in the misuse of self in relation
one to another. Keep the faith, My Son - Keep the faith -
We are through.
