In the mental forces of the body, these - we find - have been
at rather an improper angle, for there has existed through
the general surroundings of the body - in its developing
period - those forces in the mental that made for
differentiations, indifference to directions, and DIRECTED in
many manners that were not in accord with the desires of the
body. DESIRES are good, are desires controlled by the best
INTERESTS for the body mentally and physically. Not merely
those as satisfy the desires of the body physical, but those
desires that build for a continuity of life's forces within
an individual. Then, with the changes, has come an awakening
of abilities within the body. These, as we find, make for
desires - or rather wishes - that there might be some great
change come into the life. These are well, for such change
may COME - will the body but apply those abilities in
whatsoever direction the surroundings, the time, the place,
gives the opportunity for the application of those things
known within self, that makes for making life, making
surroundings, a little more pleasant, a little more
harmonious, a little more of those that make for a
regeneration within; not giving away to desires that satisfy
for the moment, not allowing self to become in any manner
selfish with self, self's abilities - or, as may be better
put, PREFERRING another - or others - before self. In this
manner will those abilities in making for the life of the
home, the home ties and home surroundings - for with all
those buildings that may come for individuals, those of the
home are NEARER akin to the sincere innate desire in EVERY
individual. Not as of ease, that thy soul may take its rest;
rather that of a service to all whom the body may contact,
and in so building the beauties of life, the beauties in
nature, the beauties in service, become as the stepping
stones for a contentment - no matter what the day may bring;
knowing within self not self's interests, self's desires, are
to make THIS earth, THIS abode, a little more worth while for
those the body contacts. Not in some great deed of heroism;
not in some great speech or act that may be pointed to with
pride - but rather in the little kindnesses from day to day,
remembering that he that giveth even a cup of water in HIS
name shall in no wise LOSE his reward! Not as done FOR the
REWARD; rather let thine heart, thine mind, thine BEING, be
opened as with the love that passeth all understanding;
remembering as it was said of old, "Though I have faith that
removes mountains, though I speak with the tongues of angels,
though I may conquer even the world and have not THAT love,
it is NOTHING", for it becomes as an emptiness that CANNOT be
filled - but with each day, each hour, so lived as an act
that the self would present before the throne of grace, and
ALL power is given to those who DO in THIS manner His
biddings, and the SPIRIT abideth ever! Only thine self may
turn thy face from HIS face. Only thine self may make a
shadow upon His abiding Spirit; for in HIS likeness, in HIS
image, are we ALL made. Turning as upon thine own self casts
the shadow.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Regarding the physical, what should body do for teeth?
(A) Many of these will need local attention. Many of these
will be assisted by those vibrations as to be set up in the
system through the manner of the diet, when keeping away from
those that make for acid forces in the body; using those food
values that carry more of the silicon, the lime, and those of
the phosphates will aid in CORRECTING those conditions, when
LOCAL conditions are attended to.
(Q) What work is body most fitted to do?
(A) That as it may be made in the household, in the home.
(Q) Has body any talent?
(A) Apply that thou hast! for ALL are given that which WILL
- if applied - make for the PROPER developing. Rememberest
that as has been said? GOD wills that NONE should perish,
but has ever provided a way of escape, EVEN from self - IN
trusting - and acting that manner - in Him!
We are through.
