TEXT

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body, with its abilities and its physical weaknesses, with the soul-mind, [436], - present in this room.
  2. In making an analysis of the mental and psychic abilities of the body, to be sure the physical channel through which same must manifest, with the soul development in its experiences in the material plane, must be taken into consideration.
  3. As to the mental abilities of the entity: The material studies, the material analyses of mental effects, have brought to the body-mind a comprehension of many of the influences in the experiences of others in which the body-soul forces have experienced both good and bad influences. Hence it may be found by the entity, the soul-consciousness, the mental mind, there are many conditions or experiences in which the body may allow itself to engage in which neither the physical forces nor the soul developments allow too great a delving into same without the proper guards about self in such entering in.
  4. As given regarding those influences that are active upon the soul-consciousness of an entity when it meditates deeply, unless there are those preparations within self for the proper attitudes there may be brought such influences that become detrimental to the PHYSICAL attributes and make a miscomprehending of that soul development which IS the birthright and privilege of each soul in a material world.
  5. It would be well, then, for that given in that direction through these channels (on Meditation) to be well comprehended, well understood; and that, in the development of self and self's abilities to associate, the soul development influence (that may be brought into material manifestations in or through the various forces in the experience of the individual life) be well studied, well comprehended.
  6. And then there may be brought for self that development which is of, from and through, self's OWN analyzing of the influences of the Creative Energy or the spirits, or Spirit, about the Throne that is ever a dictator in the directing of that impelling the soul development of each seeker for light in His name.
  7. Too, in connection with same, it would be well for that which makes for the comprehending of the oneness of all force in the effects in the mental influences, in the sources of information, in the sources of life, light, truth, immortality, to be comprehended, understood, in the experience of the MENTAL and the SOUL body.
  8. Then we may find there will be brought to the body that which is the desire of the inmost soul that is in keeping with His purposes in the life experience of the entity.
  9. Ready for questions.
  10. (Q) Just what type of meditation would be safe for me to practice in my present psychic and physical condition?
    (A) As we have referred to, first study that which has been presented through these channels that will make for a comprehending of that necessary to be aroused within self for perfect meditation; and as to HOW each soul - as it enters into meditation - surrounds itself with the influences of the consciousness of the Christ Spirit in the material affairs of individuals who seek through His name.
  11. (Q) Are there entities, because of a psychic opening, feeding on or sucking my vitality? [See 436-1 on 5/30/30.]
    (A) Entities that would seek to find expression through that left open. Rather, then, know - in the oneness of all force - if there are the comprehensions necessary in self, as the meditation is entered into, those who have sought or who may seek may be aided by that thought held by self in entering in. And while for the first few periods there may come little or naught but peace, yet the harmony even of the spheres may be the experience of the entity with the aid in self builded to such an extent as to gain from the meditation HEALING influences from the higher sources, and give out to those who would as vultures feed upon the body - that they may find for themselves that guiding influence in their present environ and sphere of experience.
  12. (Q) Suggest a course of study that will lead step by step in the right direction?
    (A) That as we have given. The Oneness of All Force, Meditation, and meditating more and more - as the physical self is subjugated upon that given in, "I am with those who seek to do the biddings of the Father; for I go to the Father, and they that ask in my name, believing, shall not be left comfortless, neither will the darts of satan interfere with those influences that may be brought by the simple application of life in the experience of the body."
  13. (Q) Give an affirmation which the body can use in meditation.
    (A) LET THAT MIND BE IN ME THAT WAS IN HIM, WHO KNEW THAT OF HIMSELF HE COULD DO NOTHING, YET IN THE POWER OF THE LIGHT OF THE FATHER OF ALL MAY WE, MAY I, MAY ALL, COME TO KNOW HIS LOVE THE BETTER. THY WILL, O FATHER, BE DONE IN ME JUST NOW.
  14. (Q) What talents should this body develop for more complete expression?
    (A) In common parlance, the abilities to speak that which is impelled by the influences of that received in meditation. Not as a great public speaker, but being a channel of blessing to those the body may contact each day. Self-expression.
  15. (Q) Would you suggest any special way for this development?
    (A) Rather than reading, learn to meditate properly upon that which may bring health, solace, peace, happiness, joy, life, affluence, influence, and brotherly love.
  16. (Q) What books would you recommend for reading?
    (A) As given, rather than reading (other than those things that may make known an understanding, as we have given), meditate. The reading of others has confused. Then, meditate upon that which may arise from within for the awakening; and thus come to know the personal God that is within each and every soul's experience that seeks to know Him. For, His ways are not past finding out.
  17. (Q) Are there any other suggestions or counsel for this body at this time?
    (A) Keep in that way that is shown. For, each soul must give an account of the deeds done in each body. And as these deeds and thoughts are left more and more in the hands of Him that would guard and guide and keep thee, so does the love of the Father come to be a living water welling up into the soul and the body, in such measures as ye have need of day by day.
  18. We are through for the present.
