that become a part of the experience, becomes and should be kept innate, and in those directions to fulfil not merely a destiny but to be a living example of that it, the entity, professes to believe in and holds as its ideal—spiritually, mentally, physically.
And, as this entity does embrace and has embraced in its religious or spiritual concept, the activity should be in keeping with its deepest tenets—not of self-righteousness nor the laudation of self, but of that which is the all-embracing purpose for which God has manifested His love, His purposes among men.
Then, as to the activities in the present—let those things that bring hope, faith and brotherly love be practical applications in the daily associations with its fellow men.
And putting the whole trust, the whole purpose in those activities, the entity need never fear, need never have a doubt or quaver as to what will be accomplished—physically, mentally or spiritually—in this material plane.
The activities during the sojourns of the entity through the material plane have enabled the entity to become associated in this experience with, and to make a practical application of, ways or means to be of material as well as of mental help to others who are afflicted, or who are lacking in the best in their experience…
Ready for questions.
(Q) How may I make my own profession, as a licensed masseuse, more suitable for me?
(A) By applying in thy daily applications of its good offices that which is best within thee; and with the desire and purpose not merely to have a job, not merely to have a means of achieving material gains, but to do a work entrusted to thee by a divine power that enables thee to be to each soul to whom ye apply thy work, thy profession, a channel, a means of making manifest His love among thy fellow men.
Applied in such a way and manner it cannot, it will not fail. And ye will find a greater increase. Not by loud boasting, no. But let thy prayer and thy meditation be, as ye make application to others, “Lord, lead Thou the way!”
(Q) How should I go about to get more medical massages?
(A) As has been offered, accept those channels through which ye may be closely associated with those who are in direct connection with the medical associations and medical treatments.
(Q) Which of the two offers should I accept?
(A) Both of these can be had, if there is the desire to work self to that extent. Otherwise, choose that as appears to be in keeping with that thou purposest to do within thine own conscience.
(Q) Why did the dentist offer me his office? What does he think of me?
(A) What thinkest thou of him? The answer is as the reflection of thy thoughts of him!
(Q) How am I able to establish a clientele for these offices?
(A) In the manners and ways as indicted. Let each client, each person ye serve, be that as He gave—“He that would be the greatest among you will be and is the servant of all.”
In that attitude, in that manner, that way of expressing self, ye build that which is creative and helpful; and not only does it bring peace and harmony but love with same—which is so lacking in thy experience!
(Q) Or is there anything else I can do to make a decent living, and be happy and successful in my occupation?
(A) In the manner outlined is the better way and manner, as we find indicated from the experience and the application of self through the sojourns as well as the purposes in the present.
(Q) Should I take a partner?
(A) In any way or manner! Keep too much from partnerships of any nature. Be rather the director thyself; though ye may choose helpers if so desired; but in such be to each one as ye would have that one be to thee—in God's ways and not just for material gains.
Reading 417-8
42-Year-Old Male, Merchant
For as has been indicated, this entity, this soul, is too precious in the eyes of the Creator that it should wantonly and without forethought leave off or get away from those basic influences and forces that do innately prompt these desires, these forces and influences for good to others.
Hence we find those turmoils that have arisen and that have become a part of the entity's experience at this time are in a manner that of fear and self-condemnation at times.
And to justify self has allowed self to be drawn into those environs and those attempts to substitute material things for that which may only be found in the real desire of the entity to “do good”—spirituality!
Hence the entity having left God out of consideration with the thought of material duty, and with that desire to fulfill that which is—to be sure—the material manifestation of good. Yet ye cannot gain good by doing that which condemns thine own self. Ye cannot do good through evil channels. Ye cannot do evil and expect good to continually come from same.
These are as attempting to gather figs from thistles, or grapes from bramble briars. These are not the natural forces. Neither are they such that have prompted and do prompt that expression, the desire to do good and to be good. That is not man's problem alone to be good, but to be good for something, to be good as a purposefulness! And these cannot be gained by the evil associations nor evil communications that make for the moments of satisfying either the material or the physical-mental desires in monetary gains.
Better that there be the crust alone of bread than the mansions of the millions with that of a condemning heart, a condemning spirit within self that there is a question mark after any activity, or any associations. For these are not God's ways, and thou hast known and thou dost know in thine heart of hearts the ways of good! Not that of long-facedness, not that of the saintly sinner, not that of the cynic; but doing good for Good's sake, doing good because it brings contentment, it brings harmony, it brings peace, it brings associations that create in the hearts of the associates joy
