TEXT

1. GC: If it is in accord with Divine Will, we and the [378] family seek any further help and advice as to the soul of [378] and his future well-being. You will give that which will be of the most help at this time to all concerned, in a material, mental and spiritual way.
2. EC: We are pressed too tight! We will release through here. (Then followed a breathing exercise).
3. Yes. As we find, there has been a communication penciled by [378] again to the family. This should be received very soon - present day or Monday.
4. Keep that purpose which indicates that whether in the body or out of the body thou wilt come to them that seek to know; for the material things weigh as heavily on THEIR minds as on thine own!
5. Let the Christ Consciousness guide and direct thee. Think not only of self or self's own turmoil, but know that all are being tried so as by fire. For, as there are the yearnings in self for those counsels, thou mayest have same in thine mental and material experience, wilt thou but hold fast to that thou hast - yet. For, He IS able to deliver thee, for He has gone into that realm where there may be the GREATER dissemination of that which is good, which is constructive, which builds for greater understanding, that will make thine own soul free in knowing that what thou doest is done with a might IN HIS NAME! Be not false to self, and thou canst not and will not fail those that pray for thee. Pray ye with them.
6. Let the shadow pass. Look to the hope that springs anew, that has prompted thee to arise and go to them in His name. Be thou strong in the might of thy Lord. Be thou ready not as sacrifice, but as He has given, His pleasure rather is in service unto thy fellow man. Thus may the paths be made straight. Thus may those toils, those troubles, those conditions that have upset thee mentally, bring again the pure flowing spiritual aid into thy soul, thy body, thy mind.
7. Keep those things near and dear. Let those sentiments that are often called of the mind grow deeper, for a PURPOSE - that thou mayest fulfill thy purpose in Him.
8. Let Him have His way. Let Him guide thee.
9. Keep the faith - keep the faith - keep the faith!
10. We are through.
