EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, and those
conditions as surround this body. In seeking that as will
be most beneficial to this body at this time, there are
conditions that should be considered other than those of the
purely physical in their reaction in and for the developments
of this body, and this body's abilities in the varied
directions. First, we find a developing mind. Also a
developing body, with its physical attributes calling for
the satisfying of the desires of same. The mental in that
position of not being satisfied, either with its own physical
attributes or the present outlook for the satisfying of
physical desires. Then, that which is the basis for the real
development of the entity, as has been considered, should be
taken into account. When there is the proper consideration
given to the various experiences of the entity in the earth's
plane, and that which was necessary for the entity to pass
through as experience in its next appearance, THEN there may
be seen that more of the spiritual side of the entity's
experience is to BE considered, and more easily will it be
understood that, that a body sows, and AS it sows, so shall
it reap. Leave for the moment those considerations of the
moment, and know that, that as is committed in mind and in
deed must be met IN the manner the desire of the heart IS, as
a whole - NOT as of a moment. In this, too, in considering
the whole, there is seen that as has been given of old, "Seek
ye first the Lord while He may be found, and ALL these things
will be added UNTO you". Therefore, all force, all power, is
of HIS making, and INDEED all are living, moving, and in HIM
have our being. Then, in choosing for self, THIS ENTITY,
THIS BODY - there will be seen that, with the proper
consideration of that as has been given in that direction,
the body will be able to apply self, will it be [if it will
be] willing to make its will one with His, its desires to
know His will first - then these material blessings, as are
counted in the material plane as accomplishments, and as
social position, as power, as fame, will be added in accord
to the needs of THAT individual. Ready for questions.
(Q) What pursuit or study can she follow in order to find
independence?
(A) This has been outlined to the body, and ESPECIALLY in
considering the various pursuits in experiences of the earth
and that necessary for the present development of same;
applying self first then in KNOWING self, self's relation to
the Creator, self's duties to those upon whom the entity or
body materially is dependent, and self's relations to its
fellow man. These must be ACCOMPLISHED in self, for that as
held as a desire in the heart will be accomplished, will the
body [if the body will] mentally, physically, spiritually,
make self one with the ALL giving power, energy.
(Q) What abilities should be developed -
(A) These have been answered. We are through with this
reading.
