(Q) Friday Morning, Nov. 6. Now it seemed I was at a party
where many peoples were, and all went into dinner except
Torch Schatzkin (at whose home the affair seemed to be) and
myself. All were in evening dress except Torch and I noticed
he had on peculiar loud black and white stockings, and worn
knickers. I noticed that he got away with it - as he did
with many things in his happy good natured way, that others
could not. I noticed many tapestries hung in the front
living room - hung on a line like wash hung out on a line,
all conspicuous, yet odd and beautiful except in the manner
of their hanging. Torch and I talked of them a while - but
somehow I didn't seem to interest him much, and finally he
got up, saying: "Well, I'll go in and change my clothes,
now, I guess." He went out and I was along in the room. I
heard and saw the diners, saw the tapestries and remained
outside - in abashed and quiet reflection.
(A) In this there is given the entity, in an emblematical
manner, much of the position (at time) the entity occupies
in thought and action with other individuals of this entity's
own set, physically speaking. As is seen in the various
forms of the conditions presented, see - are as these: The
entity accepted, in the regular form and manner in groups
with others, as is seen, in the house of the friend. The
friend in the different dress from the regular routine, see?
and this shows, as it were, the difference in way entity
in self presents to others that thought as regarding the
questions as may be propounded or asked from time to time.
The tapestries, the manner of their presentation, showing
the manner, or the thoughts as of the oriental nature, or
of the olden time, as being that which presents the manner
of thought and action of the entity, [
900], as viewed by
others, see? and the being left alone, eventually, with
these conditions, presents the outward appearance as of
being left along, or thought to be peculiar or not just
interested in the conditions, see? as surround entity.
This, then, rather the lessons: As these conditions are
that of the curious to the many, and in their way and manner
bring the pleasure to many in a certain form and way, the
entity in gaining the lessons from these, are to clothe
them in that form and manner that will be acceptable to the
diners, or the multitudes, that they may gain the lessons
as are to be give to the peoples, for as again we see the
truths being presented in these various manners that the
entity has the message which is to be the co-relation between
the old, as it were, and the new, giving a new understanding
to the various phases of conditions as has been presented to
the world from time to time, and not that a new thought, not
that a new way, but the new way of co-relating the truths in
each and presenting them in such a manner as to be holy and
acceptable, and entertaining and beneficial to all, see? A
wonderful co-relation of conditions, were the entity to but
gain the true import as to the lesson as is taught here,
for we have many that have come since that will be builded
on the truths, and in this also there is seen much of the
self-satisfaction, which must not make of entity a recluse,
or one not sought after in every form of association with
peoples, but that same may be presented in the way and
manner as is seen, see? for, as we may have in this, as
the ensample which is set before men, see? in the life,
in the manner of presenting the truths as were given in that
period and age, we see in the Man, called Jesus one of the
ones who present truths to the learned, to the ignorant,
to the lowly, to those in high estate. Never seeking to
push self in, in any manner; yet ever being [meeting] every
question that is presented to Him in the questioning,
whether of the lowly, of those taken in sin, or those taken
questioning of authority; yet ever a social physical being,
ever one dining well, ever one knowing to be of high estate,
yet making self in the way and manner to meet the needs of
all, even unto the death on the Cross, and as this entity,
[
900], then, gathers the various lessons as are to be the
co-relation of the truths as are found in those messages of
past, in the day when the Prince of Peace gave His Message,
in the days when the insurrections arose and by force these
truths were attempted to be made statutory, and in the hours
when peace again is sought, and in the present day, when the
various truths are given as lessons in the daily walks of
life, then, may this entity through these forces gain that
access to that At-Oneness that gives the greater message to
the many, see?
(Q) Then they all came in from dinner and Dorothy Schatzkin
(Torch's wife) displayed an usual piece of tapestry brought
home from Europe. It had sort of open work in it - was red
and green, and we all admired it. I knew nothing about such
things, so joined in with the conventional admiration - i.e.
it seemed to be good manners and the proper thing to do to
admire the piece. I looked at all the others and wondered
what they wanted with another piece. Dorothy finally said:
"Well, its alright," criticizing the tapestry she was
displaying, "but I don't like this and that, etc." The
piece was hung on a line with the others and I wished we
could have one for our room, at which I saw a soldier,
smartly outfitted in his uniform, enter. I admired him and
felt a soldier myself. He said: "You have to learn to
obey, before commanding." I recognized the saying, felt it
apply to myself and wanted to learn all of these things.
(A) This, then, the continuation and the self application of
that lesson as has been given in the vision of the peoples,
the dinings, the tapestries, the lessons, the application to
self, and the lesson as is to be gained and the application
the entity is to make of same, see?
(Q) "Then [
137], [
4167] and I sat down to talk. I was
cutting my finger nails with an enormous pair of scissors.
[
4167] looked up at [
137] and mentioned something about the
scientific or religious person [
137] had once been. 'Science
and Religion are incompatible,' I told them both, 'They are
like the hand and glove - one worthless without the other.
You cannot have Religion without Science.' Then I thought
and noticed my big shears and dangerous instrument to use on
my finger nails. 'Of course,' I continued, 'you can have
Science without Religion, but you then get nowhere.' Then I
noticed one finger nail complete and finished - done pretty
well even, if with a clumsy over sized shears, I thought."
(A) This again the emblematical conditions as regarding the
lessons, the truths as are being seen with the entity, and
as the conversation is given between those who occupy the
various stations in the mind of the entity as regarding
religious thought and science, and religious application and
scientific application of truths as may be gained, as also
the fingers, the hands, the nails, the shears, representing
the various ways and manners in which the application, or
tools with which the applications of truths are applied in
the physical world. Then, as we see, the lessons as are
gained, as the truths in science, as the truths in religion,
to meet the needs of the thinking man must be compatible to
each other, so must the shears, the hands, be used on each
to make same compatible, see? and then in applying those
lessons as entity gains from time to time, and in preparing
that message as is being prepared and given to peoples, as
the message comes to entity, both hands (literally), shears
(literally), must be used in same, that the message may
present from the mind, the hands of the entity, that
well-rounded lesson as is necessary to meet the mind of the
scientist and of the religious, whether they be of the old
or the new school, see? A great lesson, a wonderful way
presented, and the entity in the application may gain the
greater truths from same.
As is seen again in this: We find as the entity presents
to self in the mental manner the various obstacles, or the
various levels to be made, that a more perfect understanding
may be gained by same, these in their various ways and
manners in the co-relation of the subconscious and
superconscious forces of this entity present same to entity
in this consciousness as is reached in the exemplification
of the experiences in such a manner as a greater scope is
gained by this entity in its inner consciousness, and a
better application may be made of same, see?
(Q) Monday Morning, Nov. 9. Now this seemed to co-relate
the Truth, as has been given from psychic sources - about
stock prices for example and the large losses we have
sustained therefrom, with Christ. Undoubtedly in my physical
mind or mental was carried Christ's life and my version or
concept of His meaning in the physical world. For example, I
reasoned: "How would Christ act if born into the physical in
this day and age?" One theologian says he would be arrested
or put in a lunatic asylum. It is doubtful if that so called
theologian will ever find Christ and the best answer to such
is that it is thanks to Christ's sacrifice that we have
advanced to that moral state where we at least would not
crucify Him. At any rate, my physical attitude of faith,
love and hope, seems to open a wealth of information in the
subconscious, for my every question seems patiently answered,
whether that question is asked in my conscious moments or
while asleep. Now this morning in a long discourse, much was
given to me in two chapters, so to speak, but it was too much
for my physical mind to remember. I do know that I
interrupted with questions, and they were answered such as
follows:
1. What if Christ were born into phenomenized state
today?
2. He worked in a shoe shop -
(A) (Interrupting) In Carey.
(Q) (Continuing) suppose circumstances had carried Him into
the Broker's office?
(A) (Interrupting) Such as in [
900].
(Q) Other questions were asked and answered and in a long
discourse of two sections and six parts, I was shown how the
Life of Christ applied to Life - mine and others, today. Was
Christ a fully evolved 3rd dimension entity, or was He a 3rd
dimension phenomenon of the Whole Spirit Force's purpose, or
both?
(A) (Interrupting) Both.
(Q) That is, did He live as another personality on earth
before, developing into His state of "Perfection," as the
Father in Heaven? All seemed explained and answered and at
the conclusion the Voice said: "Your stock market losses do
not disprove - they PROVE CHRIST." "How?" I asked. Again
the explanation in detail that I cannot recall. I awakened
and went back to sleep again, with the same question in my
mind. "How do my stock market losses prove Christ - not
disprove Him, when my actions in the market had been in good
faith based on information from these Spiritual Sources?"
Again the answer came in detail. Recall this wonderful dream
and the details contained therein. Explain, for it is a
great joy to be able to delve into mighty Spiritual Truths
where Spiritual is the source from whatever angle the
physical approaches. The night before it was from the
Theosophical, this night from the Theological - truly a
wealth and power has come to me of which I little dreamed,
even in a fairy tale. I seem but to have to ask, and the
book is opened to that portion that contains the answer.
That Power is Not for Sale, and I pray it may ever be mine
in greater capacity, even as is was His from Birth.
(A) It may be ever the capacity of the entity, the entity
only making self the channel through which same may manifest.
The manifestation, or the lesson as is lost, as it were, in
part to the entity, as to how the manifestations as are seen
in that happening, as presenting or as PROVING and not
DISPROVING the Life of the Christ, or the Christ Life, is
that the entity attempts then in this because of a physical
loss to prove a spiritual truth, for as is seen in the Christ
Life, it was the DEATH of the physical that gained the
Spiritual Life for the physical man, Christ and the World
in a Oneness, see? That is, it was NECESSARY that Christ,
PHYSICALLY, becomes a Loss, that the Spiritual Man be made
alive, see? Necessary, then, that physical losses be
sustained at times, that the spiritual truths may be manifest
in a physical sense to the physical man, see? for man's sin
in the Beginning is as but the transgression of the Spiritual
Law; that is, any aggrandizement of a physical law makes this
physical out of balance, or opposite from an At-One-ness with
Spiritual Law, in the sense then that the physical action,
then, in man - NOT the individual, see - produces a loss
physically, does not disprove the Spiritual Law or the
Purpose in Christ, but rather makes the PROOF in Christ, see?
