EC: Yes, we have the body, the seeking mind activity of the
entity [
900], and those conditions as surround same, both of
the material and cosmic influence, or etheric influence of
the entity's experience both in the times to come and times
as have been. In the seeking get understanding, and as the
understanding is able to be disseminated to others so may
that understanding be more applicable in the individual life.
Think well of the experience of the wise one [Solomon?] who
in his day spoke in a way and manner as to give the better
knowledge to peoples of all ages and conditions, yet in
harkening to the material surroundings that this
understanding brought in the middle life experience brought
consternation and vexation of spirit, and in the ability to
pass that knowledge to even those that would rule "mine
people" brought divisions and the setting up of the worship
of the earthly forces rather than of spiritual emanations
from same. And for the very work's sake the division came
not in his day, yet only in Josiah was it given to again
approach even the threshold of the understanding as was
necessary for the deliverance of a portion of the peoples
even sufficient to keep the natural lineage of the promised
one. Heed, then, those instructions as may come to those
that are lords of the way, that leads to the way of
dissemination, even as assimilation does in a physical
being - which is being interpreted for peoples in THINE
undertaking. As these lords then would direct, kick not
against the pricks - for it is hard to attempt even to read
into the ways that are given thee that of thine OWN, thine
OWN, understanding, when instructions are given. This, mine
son, not that consternation or worry should come to the
undertakings - but rather that there may be in Israel that
perfect knowledge of the UNDERSTANDING, and the ability to
give TO mine people, thy people, the Lord's hosts, the
knowledge that there is still that succor in the seeking of
the ways of the Lord in the manner as has been given even
from Gibia (?) [Geba] unto Gezer [Gaza] even from Dan to the
days of Og. In this undertaking thou hast set a noble
cause, and in the activities of self keep the ways clear.
To thee the lord of the ways, even Michael, will direct -
even Hezekiah and Ezekiel will bring to thine aid those
builders even as builded with thee in the Holy City, and in
the race plant that knowledge that he that seeks first the
knowledge of the directing spirit from within will have
added glory, honor, and all those earthly endowments that
are endearing to the hearts of men. Be not led then astray
in any manner, not allowing self to be drawn from these ways
as may be pointed out, and even as has been given there will
come the ability - in the application of the knowledge
gained - the understanding as is being sought. Be not
dictatorial, nor lording in thine own activity. Rather
humble in spirit, that the Micah of old may say oft in thine
hearing, this day THIS is fulfilled in thine hearing, that
"I will establish my name in the place appointed, and I will
feed mine peoples and they shall not be scattered abroad;
for even as the knowledge comes let IT be disseminated among
those who seek to know the lamb that taketh away the sins of
mine people, and their transgressions shall be remembered no
more, and sickness and sorrow and tears shall be wiped away
- " for He who came in the flesh will establish His name
there. Through thine efforts then, my son, be faithful. I
have spoken. I, Jeremiah, the servant of the King.
(Q) In that experience that correlates with that just given,
in which I was kneeling at prayer and raised up and it was
spoken to me as I was thinking of the prophets of old, even
as thou Jeremiah, saying to me "And there shall be none equal
unto thee."
(A) Hosea giving his blessings, my son, even through the
tribulations in which he excelled - even as the humble
messenger to a doubting peoples led astray by the divers
conditions in the earth. In THINE day there is that as is
more in keeping with the periods of rest and peace, and all
cry peace - when there is no peace save in the more perfect
knowledge of the divine seeking expression through those of
the spiritual and material worlds; and as thou prayest keep
not only those in mind who foretold of the days to come but
be thou the prophet and the teacher, and He that showed the
way and who sitteth at the right hand of the Father will bear
thee up and thou will not dash thy foot against a stone,
neither will these become stumbling blocks wilt thou but keep
thy hand in His - for He has given thee, "Lo I am with thee
from the PRESENT unto the end of the world! What thou asketh
in my name BELIEVING that will the Father give thee," and
thou shalt have the desire of thine heart will thine heart be
kept in accord with His gospel - which alone is, "Thou shalt
have no other God before me, saith the Lord of hosts," and
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thine self." Put not then
the cup 900-428 Page 3 of misunderstanding nor a stumbling
block in the way of the weakest brother, but rather be the
burden bearer for those who cry "Abba Father give, give, of
thy strength through me. Let mine eyes behold the glory of
him who suffered that I might know there was the way
established again to the Father of all in all, and in Him
we live and move and have our being." Even as Michael in
the way defended from the wicked one the body of the
lawgiver of thine people, mine people, even as this mighty
lord of the way defended him may he defend THEE in the ways
thou goest, if thou will only keep thy hand in the Master's
hand.
(Q) Regarding the experience of night before last in which I
actually entered among those of the so-called living death
and experienced life to be a wave motion -
(A) This only the beginning of the more perfect
understanding of the continuity of forces as are one,
whether separated into the mystic's force of indulating wave
links or into the chemist's vision of atoms' force in
alchemy or chemistry, or whether of the engineer's division
of power as in the forces as may be applied in the breaking
up or changing of the elements in their activity, whether as
of the fourth dimensional force of electrical combustion or
of that of the gaseous explosion or of the steam's
condensing, in each activity there is that same wave
activity - as seen in the continuity of the soul's expansion
to meet the needs of that sphere in which it finds itself
seeking expression; for as the way may be directed so may
the soul seek that it has created in its activities in
whatever sphere its activity finds expression. In this
manner, then, much will come to thee in the knowledge of the
fact that law, love, are one - even as the forces in all
nature are one - as is necessary for the budding of the
acorn or the flowering of the rose, each seeking through
that phase of its position given in nature or this sphere to
express that appreciation of the gift of its Creator. Only
man abuses that given. How great then may his estate be!
How low may he sink through the non-application of that
first law of "Thou shalt have no other God before me"! We
are through for the present.

REPORTS
4/01/29 GD's note: Linden Shroyer joined the staff of the
Assoc. for the purpose of correlating the information in the
readings under subject headings. A short time later Mildred
Davis joined the staff to help him in this. They copied out
and briefed various portions of readings dealing especially
with the philosophy in the Case [
900] series. However, Mr.
Shroyer, being an auditor, was forced to devote more and more
of his time to bookkeeping details, less and less to the
correlation of the subject matter in the readings.
