TEXT

[137]: You will have before you [137] and [900] with their intent and purpose, etc.
EC: Yes, we have the bodies here, [137] and [900]. These we have had before. Much may be said respecting these entities and their associations. As has been given, this union of strength manifested in the material, moral, social and the financial manners, will wield and influence, and a power that will be envied by many. For, as has been seen in the making of intent, purport in the heart, manifesting same in the life the experiences brings about for each that as is necessary for the development of each, for the understanding of each, and that promise as has been given in "Who honoreth me, Him will I exalt. He that furnisheth bread for the brothers shall control many cities. He that honoreth his God shall not go without full recompense, saith the Lord. For him that I have loved, him will I also raise up. Him that teacheth his brother the right way, shall not go unrewarded. Keep thy hands clean. Keep thy strength in me. Love the Lord. Forget not his benefits. Keep always that in shadow in thine remembrance, for I will repay, saith the Lord. I will protect thee. AMEN."
In the application of the various truths, one needs only to continue acting as one believes to bring this about. This applies, whether in material or secular conditions of life. In life one finds the energies are not lost, although the physical may be so overburdened as to become weary. Keep, then, the physical body fit. Be not unmindful that this also is necessary, for, as is seen, in application made by teacher or believer, results are what count to the masses of people.
(Q) What may be done regarding the physical of these bodies?
(A) Much has been given and said regarding this. Apply that already given as application is made of other things already given. Build in self, but until ability to do this is obtained, apply the remedies given, meeting changes in the physical as indicated. Rest, play, work and think. Keep self attuned to consciousness of life in its entirety.
(Q) Is [137] capable of teaching that which he is not now teaching? or in a way he is not now teaching?
(A) As given, each teach in their own way. One, the exalter, teacher and lecturer. The other, in his teaching and talking, and addresses, manifests in a way that makes for strength in him who does the teaching by word of mouth. Yes, teach and be not afraid, for in the hour that you stand before those would hear, it will be given thee what to say. Even as he brought to remembrance the promise, for memory brought in the light of consciousness is the outpouring of spirit. (Memory is the mind of the soul.)
(Q) [900]'s experience of light shining on machine?
(A) This is relating to that contemplated activity of forces applied in material plane, and this brought them into being. So be it. In the application, the light as has oft been given, meaning that in the light of truth that that becomes apparent, known and understood.
(Q) Does it mean [195]'s machine will work?
(A) [195]'s machine will work in application. In putting together much experiment necessary. Today he will see - it will be made understandable to him. It will work in the light of his understanding today.
(Q) [900]'s experience of East Coast at 881.
(A) 881 - in days to come, the whole number.
(Q) Does this mean East Coast will reach this value?
(A) In its fullness East Coast will reach $881.
(Q) One on the floor of the Stock Exchange said to me, "There never will be a Jewish banker equal to Morgan." I answered, "Never is a long time," and felt that I with my associates will one day reach this point.
(A) This will be realized beyond thine own or thine associates, fondest dreams. While [900] rules through introspection of a few, for thee there will be many, and thine Brother will guide thee in all that thou doest.
In understanding, does strength, power and might come.
Take this and keep it with thee in thy heart, and in thine mind always. With power of money, with position, and wealth, comes greater responsibility. But ye know in whom ye believed, and He is able to keep you against that day.
(Q) Is this my brother Jesus talking?

(Q) Will I be able to see Jesus?
(A) You will.
(Q) In John, thou saidest, "after my death, the Comforter will come." Who is the Comforter today?
(A) The Comforter is the gift of the Holy spirit, for it sheds abroad in dark places, and Him that keepeth my counsel is brought to the full understanding, and is brought to remembrance of that walk with Him.
(Q) Which of the disciples was the one you loved the best?
(A) John. Upon this one Jude leaned in days when chains and bonds held thee. Freed with him and then sent into the wilderness for thy tenderness. He (John) will aid you.
(Q) Is John now in the flesh?
(A) "John yet abides in me."
(Q) Will he again come into the flesh?
(A) That remains yet to be seen.
(Q) Is [5770] Judas Iscariot?

(Q) Was [330], my wife [140]'s uncle, there among us?
(A) Not among the direct followers, no, but among those who aided thee in Pamphylia.
(Q) Should I wear glasses?
(A) Will the body exercise self in that direction, as to relieve strain, no. Exercise the upper portion of the body, the head, and the neck, and apply the light of the violet ray with the eye anode. Apply the violet ray machine only one minute, and do not overdo this.
(Q) Is this what we call the sunlight lamp?
(A) No, it is the hand machine, using the special apparatus for the eye. In use of wash, use a weak solution of Boric Acid in the morning.
(Q) The experience [of 900] in France while under a tree which the lightning struck, is this a demonstration of thy protecting force?
(A) This should be a literal demonstration to thee, son of the divine that would, and does, manifest through thee. Had such occurred in the days when thou walkest in the hills, it would have been called a miracle. In this day, it is a miracle still, for sufficient of force passed, not only through the tree, but through thee, to have destroyed physically many lives, yet, it but cleansed thee.
(Q) Does this demonstrate what you mean when you say "I am with you"?
(A) I am and will be with you always, even unto the end.
We are through for the present.
[Prayer said aloud by [137] at end of above reading: Our Father, my brother and myself now bow our heads in gratitude for this beautiful reading, council and guidance. We pray we may live to merit it and carry out thy purpose. AMEN.]

REPORTS

12/10/85 GD's note: In re Questions and Answers Par. 17 through 19. A case number was given to protect Judas' identity in this incarnation. He was a Gentile this time. We have never had contact with him other than through Mr. [137]'s questions. Mr. [137] said that [5770] was a good man and the reading verified it. Several readings referred to Judas indicating that he had not intended harm to Jesus, who had said to Judas "That thou doest, do quickly." Judas thought Jesus would evade those seeking to harm him. He had seen Jesus do it many times. [See index under BIBLE: CHARACTERS: JUDAS, throwing more light on Judas the man.]
