(Q) Advise us regarding our plans for the New York stay; as
to any line of activity we should stress that we are not
stressing.
(A) Only that each soul that presents itself for aid or help
in any line or capacity should study to show itself approved
unto God, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, rightly
DIVINING the words of truth that may be presented in such
seeking. Let each member, each soul, search his own heart
and find whether there has been through such channels that
which has brought comfort, peace, harmony, understanding; for
these are the fruits of the spirit; and so seek those that
may be weary in body, in mind, that they too may find some
hope, some light, some understanding. For, as ye seek ye
will find; as ye sow, so will ye reap. Have ye gathered
where ye have not sown? Then make thine own peace with thine
own soul, in the light of that which has been presented to
you and that may be presented to thine brother.
(Q) How can I, [
333], as a member of this organization, help
in carrying forward the ideals and purposes of the Work,
especially in New York?
(A) As the development of self is along the spiritual lines,
that which will stimulate spirituality in the experience of
others STRESS. For, much may be found in same that will be
of aid, of comfort, of help, to thine neighbor.
(Q) [
378]:
(A) As thy development is along the lines of research and of
presenting that which has aided in thine own conscious
understanding, so seek to bring to those of thine
association, thine acquaintance, that which may be -
through same - of aid, of help, to those that would likewise
EARNESTLY seek. [See
378-17, Par. 8-A, clarification on
11/03/33.]
(Q) [
417]:
(A) As thine development is in that of seeking to aid others
that have had rather the blunt portions of life as their
experience, as this has aided in helping self to see the
position and relation of self to the neighbor, so present
that in thine experience that has helped self.
(Q) [
257]:
(A) As thine development is in seeking rather the comfort,
the aid to thine brother in every experience of his activity,
so may those of thine OWN understanding be brought in
association, in connection, with that which may be of help.
Not everyone called shall answer, but he whom the Lord
calleth doth answer. Be not weary in well-doing, for he
that endureth to the end shall wear the crown, in glory;
spiritually, materially.
(Q) [
279]:
(A) As thine development has brought, when seeking, that
knowledge of the relationships that SHOULD exist between the
Creator and the creature, so in that experience that has
awakened in self the desire for the knowledge of that He
would have thee do, so in body, in mind, make known that
which will bring to others that aid, that help, which THOU
hast visioned. Dare to be laughed at. Dare to be scorned;
for those that KNOW - and KNOW they know - are His. Keep
faithful.
(Q) [
261]:
(A) As thine development, thine interest, is in that which
may aid the MANY, and that which may aid the individual, and
that which is helpful to the individual must be of aid to the
greater number, so as thine experience has brought that of
counsel, of help, here, there, in the varied experiences of
self - present that to others that they, too, may taste of
that which to them may be as the manna from heaven.
(Q) [
282]:
(A) As thine development surpasses many in understanding of
the varied fields of activity that may bring not only succor,
aid, understanding, but may bring peace and harmony and
contentment in the experiences of others, so then give that
hope to those that falter in body, in mind, in understanding.
And dare to keep the faith with that thou hast purposed in
thine heart as respecting THY relations with THY Maker.
(Q) [
255]:
(A) As thy development has merited, does merit, that of the
comprehending, the understanding, that comes with speaking
oft with thy God, as thou hast seen, as thou hast experienced
that peace which may come with the understanding of that
which may be presented, then dare to make known that which
has been the dictate of thine own conscience. For, He will
make known the ways to whom, where, when and how, through
those that wait before His throne.
(Q) [
428]:
(A) As thine development has brought that of understanding,
of peace, of harmony, so may that THOU hast experienced be
brought to those that may harken to that thou mayest present
respecting the associations in such a relation. GLORY in the
strength of the Lord, and thine body will receive that
strength which will make THEE a power in and through HIS
name.
(Q) [
903]:
(A) As self's development has brought that which makes for
the seeking for the sources and the reason of that which
would make such information, such understanding, of value in
the experience of any soul, so present to thine neighbor that
THOU hast found that has been of value in thine experience.
And dare to make known that which is even questioned in self.
For, the seeker finds, not the stumbler.
(Q) [
1192]:
(A) As thine development has brought in self that of a
seeking to ease the pain, the hurt, of those that have found
the experiences hard; as thou hast seen in thine experience
that which has made the way somewhat clearer, somewhat
brighter, so present thine own experience. For, as like
seeks like, so may THINE experience bring to another that
hope that has been raised in thee. For, He faltereth not.
For, has it not been given, though ye wander far afield, wilt
thou cry unto that God in thee, the God of promise, He is not
slow to answer those that seek.
(Q) [
322]:
(A) As thine development has made in thine daily experience,
thine self in body and in mind, a HELPER to thine brother,
thine neighbor; as thou hast seen in that which has been
received by self through such associations, such relations,
that which has comforted thee, hast aided thee; so those in
distress, in body, in mind, may be awakened to that which
they too may receive for themselves, through thine efforts in
His name. Let no soul present any thought, any manner, that
may not from the depth of his soul be, "As God deals with me,
deal I with my fellow man."
(Q) [
358]:
(A) As thine development has been in that thought of the
correlating of the philosophical thought of the East, the
West, so may that thou hast gained, that makes within thine
own consciousness the awareness of the ONENESS of God's
purposes in the hearts of men, be presented to those thou may
contact. Aid those who may seek to know how God in his
mercies makes known to the seekers of His grace.
(Q) [
346]:
(A) As thine development has brought thee along that way
that has made known to thee the dependence of every soul upon
HIS goodness, His mercy; as through such channels thou hast
received that which has awakened in thee thine OWN position;
so may those to whom thou may speak also come to know Him and
His goodness among men.
(Q) [
602]:
(A) As thine development in this experience has brought thee
to know the spiritual application of truth in body and in
mind, so present that thou hast found good in that THOU hast
associated with, the connections with, that thou hast
received through these channels. Do good to those that even
persecute you, that even would laugh thee to scorn. Give
THEM at least the opportunity to reject. For, so did they to
His prophets, to His angels - everywhere.
(Q) [
355]:
(A) Awaken to the abilities in self that have been aroused
through that thou hast received in thine association with
such information. And study first to present self holy and
acceptable unto Him. THEN may thy good be not evil-spoken
of. Make known thine OWN relations with Him through such
understandings as THOU hast received.
(Q) [
349]:
(A) As thine development through this association in such
information has made known to thee the needs of the body, of
the mind, of those that wander far afield, then GIVE to
others as THOU hast received. And great may be that to which
thou mayest attain. As ye seek, so will it be done unto
thee.
(Q) [
338]:
(A) As thine development through such associations, such
understandings that have come to thee, is applied in thine
own experience, so make known to others those channels
through which thou hast received. And so may others come to
know Him better.
(Q) Florence Worthaler:
(A) As thou seekest, as thou asketh, as thou in earnest
desire to make known thy cause unto those forces, those
influences that may be thine, FIRST convince self; then pass
to others that which has been helpful to thee.
To All: Make known this:
Though the body-desires may be many, and the impartial life
is as that which must meet the needs of the material body,
their INCEPTION, my children, must be in the Spirit; else
they turn to clay in thy hands.
