(Q) Regarding [
140], what has caused her distress?
(A) In the physical forces of the body, [
140], we find - as
there has been given - oft times an excess of anxiety on the
part of the body, under the influence of conditions varying
in their activity in the system. This the condition as
apparent in the system at present, and naturally same
affects directly the system as is related to the activities
of the inner forces, and secretions and drainages in the
system become suppressed. With the activities of the mental
becoming relaxed, and the secretions in system exercising in
a nominal manner, these are eradicated for the time from the
system. We would not be over anxious at the present
conditions. Rather let the rest and the use of the
manipulations as may be received, exercising of those forces
in the exchange of ideals and ideas as respecting physical
conditions with ones in charge, and we will find conditions
correcting themselves.
For the PERMAMENT reaction that may be set up, as to ward
against such - as has been given, there are innate in the
intuitive forces of the body those elements that, put into
active forces in the body as to CONSTRUCTIVE imaginative
forces rather than those of the contrarywise, these - we
would find - would bring much to the body in a physical and
mental, and SATISFYING in the results of same.
(Q) Is her condition that of which she suspects?
(A) Not just at present, as we find. There are those
conditions, as has been - and of which there has been much
disturbance as respecting same. These may or may NOT be
made to BECOME in a manner as is DESIROUS BY the body - see?
These we have had before. These conditions have been
existent before. These conditions may be overcome. These
conditions may be warranted into their normal functioning,
of activity throughout their whole process of development in
the system.
(Q) Then, would it be safe for that condition to
materialize?
(A) Would be safe, would the mental attitude of the body,
in the way and manner as has been given, be carried in that
CONSTRUCTIVE way and manner. See?
(Q) That is her fear that causes the lack of constructive -
(A) That's the condition as has been warned against here,
you see. That is the condition that should be held. That
of constructive, for it would BE CONSTRUCTIVE throughout,
both physical and mental, and the reactions are normal.
(Q) How can I instill that confidence into her?
(A) Only through the applying of that both from the
reasonableness of such manifestations in the material plane,
as they link up with all of those as bring for the
construction of the further, full, loving, manifestation of
those forces as manifest themselves in a material plane
through such channels - see? That as a basis. That as a
CONSTRUCTIVE force - as they would be.
(Q) Any suggestions for daughter [
143]'s physical?
(A) These, as we find, are very good in the present. Only
needs here that, that force as manifests self through the
various forms of activities with a SECRETIVE system be
warned against, see? That is, why congestion - why the
activities of the system tend, under the stresses and
strain, to become overactive during certain periods, certain
seasons, certain conditions. These - as has been given in
the super-sensitiveness of the individuality of the entity
or body. In keeping these, then, be careful of the diet,
and of the exercises of the physical and mental body. Just
a normality.
(Q) Should we do anything for her nose?
(A) Only that as is necessary to keep the SECRETIONS in
their normalcy. No operative measures, or no FORCING in the
activities of same - other than through NORMAL measures, of
keeping secretions and the excretions FROM the system acting
in a normal manner. Keep up the activity of the excretory
system - the liver.
(Q) How should that be done?
(A) By those elements in diet, and those in the form of any
activity FOR that - but NOT of a metal or metallic nature;
rather vegetable compound, see?
(Q) What should her diet be, principally?
(A) This may be a pattern, or the activity that may be
changed but this a pattern: Of morning meals, the citrus
fruits - with a hot gruel or breakfast food, with milk.
Of noon, these should be principally of nut or fruit salads,
with some form of juices of meats - but no meats; with the
brown or whole wheat bread.
Of evenings, may be the full diet of the vegetables, with an
altered food of meats that are of either those of fowl, fish,
or lamb.
(Q) [
195] has heard things about Eisler Electric Co. Has
he been correctly informed?
(A) PARTIALLY so; not wholly, for the alterations - or
changes as are attempting to be made in and through these
are of minor natures as yet.
(Q) Then it is not as rosy as painted?
(A) No.
(Q) I have had several experiences which impressed me as
coming from possibly the Master. One sometime ago relative
to the pistol being fired at me, and I endeavored to stop
the bullet in its flight. I imagined myself successful.
(A) This in an emblematical manner for the study of self -
for, as is seen that, there will come - with the full
realization of those ideals the self retains within self
respecting the association of self WITH those forces, those
manifestations in the Master's forces, as come - that the
forces of nature, as understood by INDIVIDUALS, will become
subservient unto the forces in SELF, even as was - in the
ability OF self to forego any destructive elements in the
firing of the weapons; for, as has been given, "He that
abideth in me, I will abide in him. He that asketh anything
in my name, BELIEVING, shall HAVE same. Greater things than
ye have seen ME do, YE shall do, IF ye abide in me."
(Q) In endeavoring to abide in you, which is always my
thought, is there any counsel to me?
(A) Let that mind be in you as was and is EVER in me. Not
MY will but THY will, Lord - and know this, that there abides
THIS, as may be made MANIFEST in thee - that there is the
spiritual body, there is the mental body, there is the
physical body. We three are one, even as the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost. As we abide in thee, and through
the various elements, the various attributes of each, they
MANIFEST IN and THROUGH the various forces or bodies in thee.
When doubts arise, when the mental disturbed, when the
subconscious even all aflurry - just call on that inmost
superconsciousness of MY presence with thee.
(Q) How can I call this presence?
(A) Making thy will one WITH the Father, and in the silence
- just the moment - just the seeking - just the GIVING of
self WHOLLY into the use of that desire to KNOW the guidance
of that will.
(Q) My cigarette experience, both physical and mental. Can
that be explained?
(A) Only in form - for to self each represents the various
forms of a physical, a mental, a spiritual being, or body,
and its attributes. In the cigarette, and that as experience
comes the manifestation of the correlation of that between
the mental forces in its triune, as of the physical, of the
subconscious, of the spiritual or superconscious force.
(Q) Would I, then, do well to stop smoking?
(A) That lies within self. That brings often the ability
to attune self through that as of the habit; for, as has
been given, the physical is of the material. The mental or
habit forming is of the subconscious, and oft THROUGH the
subconscious ONLY may the superconscious be brought into
being. Control the habit, and let NOT the habit control
self.
(Q) My feeling regarding the financial affairs and all
those connected dependent on this financial affair - is my
liberal and optimistic viewpoint correct?
(A) Correct, so long as they abide in that that brings for
that purposefulness as is seen in thine own self; for, as it
has been given, there lies within self that ABILITY, that
CONSCIOUSNESS of purpose, for the self to become one that
may wield a greater influence in the financial affairs of
the world than of ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL now IN the earth's
plane. That's optimism!
(Q) Is that purpose being properly carried on to the proper
goal at present?
(A) Being carried on. Keep thine self in attunement, or
keep the mental and the spiritual in such an accord that
attunement may be kept, or had in a MOMENT, with that as has
JUST been promised thee, when "Abide in ME, and I will abide
in thee."
(Q) May it be known to me who gave those words?
(A) Those words came from thine own, from thine brother -
from the Master.
(Q) Why is it that at times I seem to lose the ability of
attunement, such - as example - when I try to gain things
myself or follow Mrs. [
3734]? [Telephone operator who has
recently 'developed' psychic sensitivity. See GD's note
under
900-461 Reports.]
(A) In faith one seeks, and in SELF alone may the full
knowledge and full understanding come. Trust not in powers
made with hands, but rather in that BUILDED in the LIFE of
Him ABLE to KEEP that committed unto Him. Faltering is only
a PROOF OF the ABILITIES; for who would gain heaven and the
whole of the knowledge of same, must KNOW there are the
opposites, or a way FROM. Trust in that given thee, and in
USE of that given, understanding comes. [
2/22/30 See
137-128
in re wrong information through Mrs. [
3734].]
(Q) In times of turmoil, I seem to always fall back on that
promise given by you to me through these lips.
(A) Ever will that, abide with thee - stop and turn within,
step aside, or even in the throng turn within - and gain for
self the answer there, "Lo, I am with you ALWAYS. If ye love
me, keep MY commandments - for my yoke is easy, my burden is
light - for in my Father's house are MANY mansions, and they
that abide IN me POSSESS all that may be used even IN this
material plane, will they but abide in the Father."
We are through.
[
137]: It is my prayer you will show me the way to do that,
and I will not be found wanting.
