this is the moving of the spirit that has brought and does bring life, light, to the consciousness of the entity in whatever phase of experience it may be passing.
Then how, in what manner, does one accomplish such? Not by thoughts of self. If God had not given free will to man, or the children of men, would they have been able to be equal with Him? Rather would they be as the natural sources of the universal consciousness of group vibration—as is indicated about the entity.
“Be not deceived,” then, it was given, “God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that must he also reap.”
Then, not merely by doing does the awareness come, but by being in the doing does the awareness come of the relationships as one portion of body, mind and soul finds.
These then grow, as indicated, as do individuals. This entity as an entity grows in grace, in knowledge, in understanding.
As was indicated, the body was first a cell by the union of desire that brought activity in that influence about which the growth began.
Then of itself at birth into materiality the consciousness gradually awoke to the influences about same of body, mind and soul, until it reached the consciousness of the ability for the reproduction within itself of desire, hope, fear.
And the whole of creation, then, is bound in the consciousness of self. That influence, that force is the psychic self.
As to how same, then, may be developed within self:
Each entity enters materiality for a purpose. That all the experiences in the earth are as one is indicated by the desires, the longings as arise within the experience of that which makes for the growing, the knowing within self—mind! Thus does the entity, as a whole, become aware that it, itself, in body, mind and soul, is the result—each day—of the application of laws pertaining to creation, this evolution, this soul-awareness within, consciously manifested.
What is the purpose of entering consciousness? That each phase of body, mind and soul may be to the glory of that Creative Force in which it moves and has its being.
And when this influence, this growing self becomes such, or so self-centered, as to lose sight of that desire, purpose, aim to be to the glory of its source, and seeks rather for self, then it errs in its application of the influences within its abilities for the application of mind within its own experience.
Thus we find this entity capable of arousing others, or of becoming the incentive to and the motivative force of many—in and through its application of itself in the material world; as a worshipful experience to that something within the entity itself which magnifies—by the reflections—the awareness of the attributes of body, mind and soul in the experiences of others.
Hence the great intuitive forces, the abilities to raise the vibratory influence within the lives and the experiences of others through the use or the application of those abilities within their own selves—these become a part of the entity's experience; mentally first, and it grows either to that of materiality, material desire, or to those influences that are creative, constructive, spiritual in their nature.
Those things then as may be aroused by the self, by this entity, within the experiences of those it meets—either in close association or in casual meeting—may either create something that is material (which means only temporal), or something that is spiritual, that is eternal.
Then, as has been said: There is before thee this day life and death, good and evil. These are the ever present warring influences within materiality.
What then, ye ask, is this entity to do about, to do with, this ability of its own spiritual or psychic development; that may be made creative or may bring creative or destructive forces within the experiences of others?
“My Spirit beareth witness with thy spirit as to whether ye be the children of God or not.” This becomes, then, that force, that influence for comparisons; as the entity meditates upon its own emotions, its own influences, these become very apparent within itself for comparisons.
Do they bespeak of kindness, gentleness, patience—that threshold upon which godliness appears?
Desire may be godly or ungodly, dependent upon the purpose, the aim, the emotions aroused.
Does it bring, then, self-abstinence? or does it bring self-desire?
Does it bring love? Does it bring longsuffering? Is it gentle? Is it kind?
Then, these be the judgments upon which the entity uses those influences upon the lives of others.
Does it relieve suffering, as the abilities of the entity grow? Does it relieve the mental anguish, the mental disturbances which arise? Does it bring also healing—of body, of mind, to the individual? Is it healed for constructive force, or for that as will bring pain, sorrow, hate and fear into the experience of others?
These be the judgments upon which the entity makes its choices, as it guides, directs or gives counsel to those who are seeking—seeking—What? That Light—which has become, which is, which ever was the light of the world!
What was that light? The Spirit of God moved, and there was light! That Light came—the light of men, yea, dwelt among men as mind with the ability to choose, the ability to abstain, the ability to put away desire, hate, fear, and to put on the whole armor. All of these are attributes then of those influences and forces which are a part of the entity's experience.
And as these are applied, so may the entity come to apply its psychic abilities, its love, its desire, its hopes, spiritualized in self-effacement by placing God's glory, God's love, in the place of self; bringing hope, hope and faith in the minds and hearts, the lives of others.
This is the mission of the entity in this experience; fulfilling much of that sought after, much of that at times lost in self-desire. But often seeking, knowing, applying, ye become closer and closer in an atonement with Him.
These are the purposes, these are the desires, these are the manners in which the mental may be applied for the soul and spiritual development; and in the manner, “As ye do it to the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto me,” saith the Lord.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Please give detailed directions for the entity regarding her mental and spiritual development through meditation. Outline the steps she should take that best fit her development.
(A) First—as was indicated to those of old—purge or purify thy body—whether this be by mental means or by ablutions, do it in that manner as to satisfy thine own conscience.
Then, enter into the holy of holies of thine own inner self; for there He hath promised to meet thee. Let thy prayer be as this:
“As I surround myself with the consciousness of the Christ-Mind, may I—in body, in purpose, in desire—be purified to become the channel through which He may direct me in that He, the Christ, would have me do;” as respecting an individual, a condition, an experience. And as ye wait on Him, the answer will come.
Then each day live, towards those ye meet, in the same manner as ye prayed.
(Q) Through what method or manner should my psychic abilities be expressed?
