TEXT

1. [900]: Now, you will have before you the body of [900], present in this room, and the various relationships of this body as regards his own better understanding, education of that which he understands, the relationship to the Association and its requirements in every department. You will take these matters up as I ask you regarding them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had before. Physically, we find while the conditions show improvements, the application for the various conditions as would be brought about in that manifested through the physical should not be let up because the feelings at present are better. Make the physical such that the CONSCIOUSNESS of the full best physical reactions ARE taking place IN the body. Make that JUST as definite in the physical manifestations and feelings as that the body would take in thought, or in mind, or the operations in mind. Mind, then, being the builder, as is given, then bring to that consciousness of self.
3. As is seen in varied conditions as respecting the body, there are necessary that added conditions or vibrations from the outside may be made to manifest themselves, so that the inner consciousness takes on that vibration as is necessary to know that it IS taking place within self. Do that. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Does this mean that osteopathy will furnish this stimuli?
   (A) Not wholly, for there have been given the various elements needed to meet the needs of certain conditions as relating to the tissue in face, the effect of foods in the system, the activity of various elements as to the digestive and assimilating forces of the body. No, ONE does not give the whole system the whole consciousness to this body. These others are also necessary in their elements, and these may be made, and the body may so build that, that necessary element may be creative within the system itself, through that same consciousness as brought life, health, and BEING to all creative energy as manifests itself through a living, moving organism in the physical self, able to KNOW itself to be one WITH the whole, yet NOT the whole, but manifesting that portion of same in its particular sphere or environ.
5. (Q) Now, with relation to the Association work -
   (A) That as is being conducted by the body in relationship to teaching, propounding, expanding the minds of individuals, is aiding the self as much as it is those to whom the body brings this message, and this is being WELL DONE.
   As to the various conditions as have to do with the departments of the Association, these are gradually taking shape in the various manners as will be seen and as will be deemed, not by the purely material outstanding view, or look, but as is needed in each phase of each department these will be brought, will be presented to those, to the body, to those associated with same, and conducted along those directions and channels as will be pointed out - and not personal - these will function, even as well as that in the lecture, teacher, exhorter, or ensample.
6. (Q) Is our plan for osteopath at the present time a good one? that is, bringing down Doctor Berger's sister [Cora C. Hansen, D.O.]? Is she one fitted for our peculiar and particular needs?
   (A) This in its elements, as should be seen by the body, would be as - is the night fitted for the moon that will shine? or will the moon shine and fit itself to the conditions and environs in which it finds itself? Does it appear the same from one viewpoint as from another? Here we have conditions that are to be met, and the necessary qualifications have been set forth. This, as has been given, is working itself. Be guided, be directed, by the conditions and by those presentations as will be sent, as will be given from time to time. Yes, a good channel to work through - but is it the best one? Try it!
7. (Q) Any advice or help regarding obtaining an M.D. for active work now at the hospital?
   (A) There has been set in motion some two or three channels through which assistance or aid may be gained for the present needs, and these carried out in the manner as has been SET in motion would be well to do, and well to be considered, and as these work, then let it be known in sufficient time for the proper channels to be gone through WITH, that one may qualify self and one may be called, shown, presented, in the proper way and manner. See?
8. (Q) Now, regarding the dream last night, in which I beheld the leprous Chinaman annoying me as I both learned and taught, and in all other relationships.
   (A) This philosophically presenting to the body consciousness of the warnings as respecting comments and commentations as may be made from time to time. These warning have been given aforetime in various ways and manners, and there has been presented to the body, to the body consciousness, these conditions, and that these conditions must be met from the standpoint of the concerted action on the part of self, and knowing self to be in accord with that that is given self to say - for, as has been said of old, and as has been given this body, "My spirit beareth witness with YOUR spirit as to whether ye be the sons of God or not". Be not unmindful of those conditions in self's own life. Take not thought of what would be said in that hour, for I, thy God, will give thee word, even as was given to the lawgiver [Moses] - though slow of speech, though stammering in expression, yet who in all times delivered such messages, and had - and has wielded such an influence in the affairs of man and man's thought. So, in this day, with the Christ spirit guiding, be not mindful of the little slights, nor the harsh words, not the unseemly acts, but rather know that there is STILL the promise in David; there is still the hope in Israel, and the Israel of the Lord will hear and will harken and FULFIL in this age that to which the body, THIS body, has set itself, and will call upon the name of Jehovah while He may YET be found - and as the days come and go, those necessary conditions as is needed will be given into thy keepings, that others may know the way, the truth, and the light.
9. (Q) Is this what was meant when it was said to me, "Forget not your ideals and ideas and service when we give you your millions". I answered, "I am far from them now", and the answer came, "But they will be given to you".
   (A) These are they that testified of me, in this time, this period. They that keep the faith, keep the trust as has been placed in thee. Not that any one portion fulfils or makes the whole rounded life, but rather that all in one - and that one in Him. These are they that testified of me, in the USE to which that thou has in hand - even as to him whose voice I now use, see even the strength, the vitality, renewed in him [Edgar Cayce?] through that supplication that he may be able to bear witness of me in this day and this generation. So in YOU, and in thy hands, may that as is committed unto thy care be used, and SELF be used - for, as was said, "They first gave THEMSELVES to the service of their God," and the millions and the fame, and the glory, was added in the service as rendered unto others. For, as has been given, "Lo, I am WITH you - even unto the end of the world. Whatsoever you ask in my Name, BELIEVING, and USING, and DOING, that shall ye have in the DAY ye ask it. Keep my ways, for my ways are His ways, and thy brother in the flesh [137] shall aid thee and assist thee, and uphold thy hands - even as he did in that day in defense of me, as we walked by the way that led unto the garden." Be not unmindful that persecutions and temptations will arise, for in this vale and through this experience such must ever be the lot of flesh - but in the day that the consciousness is made whole, even in that day will the birth of the oneness of purpose, the wholeness of life, the experience of the ages be made manifest in the acts of the hour. We are through.
