(Q) Now I had, had a big day, but all my days and nights
too, for that matter, are full these times. Starting with
writing my and [
136]'s dreams, I had put in a good day at
business, then at purchasing books, then at studying my
wonderful reading on my vision of my father and the Light
of Him introducing me into 4th dimension life and after
dinner had entertained company, and now was reading and
trying to study "Isis Unveiled." My day finishes with a
chapter read from the Bible, followed by prayer. Substitute
dictating to the steno - working towards publication of my
message, for the time spent yesterday in purchasing books,
and you have my usual day, and evening. I say that in the
day time I learn of God, from God and by God in phenomenized
form, and the same lessons in a different manner from my
spiritual self at night. Thus the Spiritual and Physical
are being bridged, that day and night may both be light and
no energy is wasted in seeking the knowledge and wisdom of
the Oneness of myself with the One that my life's purpose
and expression may be identical with the One purpose, whether
it be in Spirit or physical life. That is a PLAN of Life
with a PURPOSE and a full bill too. But this command and
dream means the physical then had, had enough for one day?
(A) No. As has been given, the entity was and is to use
that as gained to lift up self and others to that more
perfect understanding of truths as gained, see? for this
(as may be given in comment upon the recommendation of self
in service): Be not in that way and manner of condoning
the efforts spent, by the fullness of hours applied to an
objective, but the manner, intent, purport - the gained
consciousness of the inner self gaining that condemnation
and appreciation of time spent, as there would come from
the spirit within, of "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant," for as self is spent in day and night, meditating
into the truths as are gained, and the building into self
that purpose of the message as is to be given - then the
entity is giving self in no unreserved manner, and in this
as given, only that the entity may in full accord hear that
answer in the quietness of self's thought, "Well done!" for
there must be remembered, that the lessons are the
co-relation of all thought, in the philosophized form of
theology and philosophy, as combined into one mathematical
purport of the WHY of the entrance into the spirit plane,
and the WHY of the giving of a portion of God, manifest in
Man, to a world, that Man, through gaining this purport of
a physical transition through the world, may gain the better
conception of the spiritual world and as to how the laws of
the physical world magnify or glorify the condition of man's
existence in same, for to this entity there is given the
greater vision than has been given to many for ages old,
in physical sense, for a purposeful life, well spent in the
work of giving aid, succor, to others in their inmost self,
is the highest purport man can give fellowman, and in helping
the Man is lending self to the Glory of God in Man. See?
A wonderful vision, a wonderful thought, a wonderful study!
MAKE SELF THAT CHANNEL through which the greater glories
of the mental, physical, spiritual and material worlds may
manifest, for as has been said, "The silver and the gold is
mine, sayeth the Lord, and the cattle on a thousand hills."
Then not sacrifice of flesh, of goats or of bullocks, not in
the filthy lucre of coin of man's realm, but in the expending
of self in the glorification of man's indwelling forces of
God's power in the earth's forces, should man extol the
glories of God, the Father, for as the Oneness is gained
in this great realm, there comes all of the needs of the
flesh to accomplish the work as is to be accomplished by
an entity with a full, purposeful, oneness of life to give
to others.
(Q) Thursday Morning, Nov. 12. "It seemed we were all out
in the country somewhere - [
137], [
140], someone else and
myself. We were in a little shanty - came out into the open
on level ground where the Sun was shining and grass green.
[
140] said to me from behind: 'Now you and [
137] are on even
terms.' 'No,' I told her, 'We will never be so. [
137] will
always have much more money than I.' 'You bet he will,'
answered [
140]. 'O well, I don't care,' I replied, and as if
to verify my sincerity in not envying, but being happy with
my life, I saw my Home, which must have represented my ideals
of Happiness - Life. In living my ideals do I find happi-
ness, at least do I try and am succeeding, just as another
tries to find the same in money and physical or material
riches and power. Before the God of Truth I lay my gifts as
must the servant of Mannon (not [
137] here) and let God of
Good and Truth judge our gifts, for to him in whose favor He
judges, shall He award the gifts for all time. The other
must labor on to secure those gifts acceptable."
(A) In this the entity has answered self, in the vision and
in the questions and truths as are presented and given in the
word as heard or felt in vision, for as the various lessons
are gained, these are given as but experiences of the mental
mind, for TRULY must man gain that full conception in a
physical manner, that "As a man thinketh in his heart, so
IS he," and as these various lessons and experiences are
given, and the full satisfaction of the physical mind is
gained through these experiences to this entity, in a
physical and in a mental manner, the glories in same, the
truths in same, the satisfaction of a life well spent in
same, becomes the whole of the mental, spiritual and
physical forces of entity, and the glory and satisfaction in
the use of each and every one as is given becomes, then, the
more perfect in their application to the entity, in the
various attempts of entity in a mental, in a physical, in a
moral, in a social way, to assist and give of self, see?
for he that would have must give - GIVE - until it hurts -
then GIVE - again. This applying in every sense of the
oneness of development in the whole earth, for as is seen
and as illustrated in this: When the world was lost in sin
and corruption, and Man in his own mind of
self-aggrandizement of the desires of flesh, God, in His
Infinite Love (though having given every gift unto Man),
gives then HIMSELF, TO GO THROUGH this low estate to which
man had come, that Man, THROUGH FAITH IN HIM, might yet gain
that life eternal.
We are through for the present.
