(Q) Should any physical applications be made to benefit my
health, or is the clearing of my thoughts sufficient at all
times?
(A) This, in the light of the consciousness of the mind of
this entity, is well to be considered from the same angles
as He, the Healer, presented.
In each individual case we find Him presenting that in
the consciousness of the individuals to create in THEIR
consciousness the whole concept of life, light, and its
relationships to the material effects to be created in
the minds of those to whom He would give health, life and
understanding.
Each individual entity, then, presents - from that angle
- an individual problem. And there are those experiences
in the consciousness of every entity needing the purer
clarification.
As we find with this entity, there needs be that induction
of the activities within the body that would assist in
re-ionizing or re-vitalizing the whole of the body-being.
Not that there is to be the laying aside of ANY of the
consciousness of the divine supplying the whole necessary
for the sustenance of the physical or the mental or the
spiritual bodies.
But does the entity find that those influences which are
taken into the body to be assimilated are all of the same
nature?
Are they not all manifestations of the divine? No
application of medica, knife or suggestion does other than
create in the consciousness of an entity that which will
assist in the union or cooperation of every individual cell
in the body itself into a unison of spiritual and mental
evolvement.
Thus, as we find, if such vibrations for the body were used
as may be applied through the Radio-Active Appliance, we
would find that the revivification, the activity of the
bodily functions would receive - not from other sources but
from within - that ability for the greater coordination in
assimilation, in elimination, in distribution of energies
through the system.
This then we would use for periods of two to three weeks;
unless there are periods when the body is overtaxed mentally
or worried, or finds itself fagged from mental energies being
overtaxed, physical exercises overtaxing the body - then it
may be used at any time; for half an hour to an hour, each
day, then rest a period of a week or ten days to two weeks
- then used again would be most beneficial.
And we would give, use such periods when this Appliance
is used as periods when there is the greater introspection
of the relationships of the divine within to the Creative
Forces that manifest themselves in human experience.
Thus we will find many problems that have caused disturbances
at times will be answered in such periods.
For the promise has ever been, look WITHIN! Meet thy Maker
in the temple within. For the body is indeed the temple of
the living God, and He has promised to meet thee there, in
the holy of holies, in the mount within. And His promises
are sure.
How has been the pattern in such meetings?
Has not the edict been ever, "Purify yourselves, your bodies,
for on the morrow THY GOD would speak with thee"?
Hast thou not learned, He is ever the same, yesterday, today
and forever?
Then prepare thyself in that way and manner that seemeth to
THEE, in THINE experience, in thy consciousness to meet thy
Maker.
Then as ye use those material preparations, they only give to
the body a greater consciousness - through their application
to the body - of the necessity of every atom cooperating in
that direction!
And ye will find thine experiences, thine aid in health,
thine aid in mental application will be augmented. And ye
will find help.
Do that.
The Appliance, to be sure, would be attached to the opposite
sides of the body. For how was it of old, [Old Testament]
when one presented self? Take hold upon "the horns of the
altar" from the right hand, upon the left foot; from the
right foot, the left hand. Again we see as but a pattern,
or that which has been so aptly put, "We see as in a glass
darkly, but then as face to face," that we may indeed know
from HIM what He has in store for those who love His coming.
Then ye will find peace and rest and harmony within thy body.
(Q) May anything be done to dissolve the growth and
eliminate it without an operation?
(A) Do this, as has been indicated.
(Q) How may my memory be improved, and power of
concentration?
(A) As has just been indicated, as ye prepare yourself and
your body, and as you produce the coordination in every
atomic force of same, ye enter into thy meditation and thy
preparation. And how has it been given thee? They that
would seek wisdom, and have it, having prepared themselves
for such a meeting, ASK and He will give; not grudgingly,
not as man counteth grudgingly, but as from the ABUNDANCE
of His love, His mercy, His grace.
And then as ye manifest these attributes in thy dealings
with thy fellow man day by day, they grow. For the
knowledge of the Father is a growth. For ye grow in grace,
in knowledge, in understanding by applying same. It is
not what ye know, not what ye profess, not what ye lord
over another that counts, but what ye do ABOUT that ye know.
And it has ever been so in the experience of man. DO that
we are GIVEN to do, as for preparations, and leave the
results to Him. And as we do these we will find, as He
has given, He hath given His angels, He hath given to His
Son, charge over OUR experiences. And we may walk and talk
with Him.
And as He hath given, "As ye keep in that abiding faith, I in
the Father, thee in me, I will bring to your remembrance that
thou hast need of."
That is for YOU, for me, for ALL that love the Lord.
(Q) Is the inability to meditate caused from my physical
condition? How may I overcome it?
(A) This has just been given, and as to how to meet it. We
find, as has been given by those who walked and talked with
Him, by Him in the garden, by Him in His admonition to those
whom He had given those messages of love, those experiences
that opened their eyes; there is continually warring within
our members - the consciousness of the resistances that have
been builded in the members of the body.
Then, as ye prepare self in the ways and manners indicated,
does there not come rather the RENEWING of His promises in
thee?
Make them, then, thy very OWN; in that ye love Him, in that
ye keep His ways. For He IS thy pattern, He is thy elder
brother, He is thy Lord, thy Savior.
Keep His ways!
(Q) Regarding the situation which has arisen between the
friend who went abroad with me and myself. Please explain
this, and how I can meet it.
(A) These conditions arise from former differences of
opinion. And there has been gradually builded an antagonism
that may only be melted with loving indifference.
This, to be sure, at first may be called contradictory.
For how CAN there be LOVING indifference?
How gave He, thy pattern?
When there arose those experiences when others were called to
His presence and they said, "See, these in thy name heal the
sick, cast out demons, yet they gather not with us. Rebuke
them." But what was His answer? "Nay; nay, not so - for
they that gather not with us scatter abroad the praises.
Leave them, lest they turn again upon YOU and use that thou
hast done to thine own confusion." [Paraphrasing of Matt.
9:49, 50; Luke 11:23; Matt. 7:6.]
Then thy attitude should be:
"LORD, THEY ARE THINE, AS I AM THINE. I AM WILLING. I
FORGIVE. I PRESENT THE PROBLEMS TO THEE. USE ME, USE THEM,
IN WHATEVER MAY BE THY WILL IN THE MATTER."
This then puts thee in that position that there is no
stumblingblock, and that becomes then LOVING indifference.
For ye have left it in the hands of the Creator, who alone
can give life and withdraw it.
(Q) What is the cause of such an attitude?
(A) As has just been indicated.
(Q) Regarding material affairs: My property in Cleveland,
Ohio - have my decisions regarding same been correct?
(A) These have been doubtful within self. Then it becomes
rather confusing.
But this is the manner in which each individual should weigh
such matters, and this applies to self:
Mind in the flesh or in materiality is for the purpose of the
manifestations of God's love to the children of men. "Thou
will, then, O God, in my meditations, in my seeking, GUIDE
me in the use of that thou hast lent to me as thy servant,
thy child, thy loved one; that it may be used in the proper
way and manner."
And ye say ye believe. Then know that what is given thee in
such meditations is in keeping with His will, and ye would
not have it otherwise.
Then we will find those that have made for oppositions, those
that have induced propaganda and other differences, will fade
away as the dew before the noonday sun - as the love of the
Father before the evil thoughts of men.
(Q) Is my lawyer the right one, and able to represent me to
the best advantage?
(A) We would give it's very good, but keep and make that
attitude as given in respect to those that represent thee,
as respect to those that would oppose thee, in the settlings
of and in the relations of all thy material, mental and
spiritual life. For they are ONE, even as the Father,
the Word, the Holy Spirit are one. So is truth and faith
and spirit the figure of one. And as ye use and apply these
in thy experiences, we find life and its expression takes
on NEW meanings.
(Q) Was the recent lease of this property a wise move?
(A) This is very good for the present.
(Q) Would I later be able to dispose of my interests to
advantage, and be free from the burden of this property?
(A) This choice, this activity had best be settled in self,
in the way and manner as has been indicated as being the
correct manner for each child of the King to conduct, to
carry on in a material world.
(Q) Any spiritual advice as to my dealings in this matter,
so that I may be free from it without any malice or hard
feelings with anyone concerned?
(A) This has been the purport, this has been the line or the
center around which all advice and counsel with thee has been
given. The Lord is in His holy temple. That temple to thee
is within thine own body. THERE He meets thee. WHENEVER ye
call. For what hath He given? "If ye are mine, when ye call
I WILL H E A R!"
For it is not who shall go into heaven to bring Him down, or
who will go over the seas that he may bring thee a message;
for lo, He is in thine own heart, thine own temple! Thou art
His, He is thine. His dealings with thy fellow men are ever
constructive. Will ye be the channel, or will ye resist Him
even as the sons of Korah? Or will ye even as the beloved
Paul say or do those things that are hard to be understood by
those of thy brethren that KNOW what ye profess! Or will ye
do that thou knowest to do TODAY, leaving the results in the
hands of Him who is the Giver of all good and perfect gifts?
For in only such a way and manner may there come to the heart
of His children that peace, that harmony, that GLORY He hath
prepared for those that love His coming.
We are through for the present.
