The document is an in-depth analysis of Genesis Chapter 16 from the Bible, focusing on the meaning of faith, its spiritual and metaphysical interpretations. It explores the story of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar, highlighting themes such as the complexities of faith, human relationships, and divine intervention. The material delves into the deeper meanings and spiritual lessons derived from this narrative.
Genesis 16:1-3
Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram, “Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her.” And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
S You have a development here, now, for that which is to be a basis that is necessary in the spiritual development of mankind. As given so often, Egypt represents the lower elements; the lower elements here coming to that which is the spiritual element, Abram, to become that which is influenced by the spiritual and in doing so provides the basis which is to be the force that all of you must contend with, the force as given later in Scriptures as that which is the beast or that which is the force of mankind using the spiritual qualities as they see them to be, correctly and yet incorrectly, for they are dictated by the mental influence. We see this today among many religious sects.
Genesis 16:4
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
S You also see this today. Those who give the helping hand or start others out into that which is your world, become used as steppingstones and are not seen in the true or correct light but looked down upon. You find this in your sports; you find this in your politics; you find this amongst religious peoples also.
Genesis 16:5-6
And Sarai said unto Abram, “My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.” But Abram said unto Sarai, “Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee.” And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
S You have that which is the battle that always ensues when there are those things which are guilt feelings in self, in the world, in nations, towards those things which were done of the heart and not received as things of the heart, rather as things seen as taken advantage of rather than used correctly. It is later in time, as given, “Forgive them, forgive them, forgive them – they know not what they do.”
Genesis 16:7
And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
S Here God approaches (or becomes that, or the Word) through a messenger: another way of setting up that which will be used over and over within the Scriptures, to be accepted by those who came afterwards, and to set forth an understanding that God works in many ways and that there is an angelic host that works in this manner to bring to most who cannot receive directly from God or less indirectly from God and must receive through others such as the angelic host.
Genesis 16:8-10
And he said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go?” And she said,” I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.” And the angel of the Lord said unto her, “Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.” And the angel of the Lord said unto her, “I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.”
S You are speaking here, then, of that which is to become the Arab nations or those which oppose physically and spiritually, in your times and in those times, that which were the Hebrew peoples or that which were the truer believers in God.
Genesis 16:11-12
And the angel of the Lord said unto her, “Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
S Ishmael is that which you have seen in the Muslem religions and those religions dedicated to certain thought patterns, misusing, then, that which is the spiritual or that which was the spiritual given them through Mohammed and others, you see, dedicating themselves to the wrong use of the spiritual force, the spiritual goals, the spiritual qualities.
And now we will give that which is the love, the blessings, and we will continue this reading at another time. We now bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son, of the Holy Spirit.

Oh, beloved Lord, through Jesus the Christ, through the name, through the love, through the action that is God as we know You to be, we seek the Holy spirit, the mover of mankind, the love in action. And through Jesus who is christed we ask for You to work through us, to give us the light, the mercy, the wisdom, the knowledge for the good of our brothers, our sisters. We seek to serve as You know is best, oh Lord.

The Light is here. The Love is here. The Mercy is here. And through that which is the mercy, through that which is the judge, through that which is the wisdom, we give then this discourse, this guideline that would give to you and to others the key to the door, the word, the movement. Even as your body has a backbone, so faith is your backbone. Even as your body has a system for thought, for knowledge, for wisdom, so we give the spirit to use this system. And we are here through that which is the mercy and the life.
We have the gift of life, which is love, and we would give to this group at this time: though the world you know may be in chaos, though the world you know may crumble, though the world you know may be cruel, yet within you is that world that is true, that is unshakable, that is indestructible. This, then, is the world of God. This, then, is the world to nourish your soul, your soul mind, and your true self. Though the world about you contains your brothers, your sisters, your first rule is to establish the world within, thence move unto the brother, the sister, as is necessary in that which is fulfilling the life or the movement of God or that which is known to you as the Holy Spirit or God in action, God in motion. Then perfect the Christ within that you, too, may become one with the spirit and show the action or be that which is the conduit for the Holy Spirit to work from and through. Be christed, then, through His actions, through His sacrifice.
Genesis 16:13-14
And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, “Thou God seest me:” for she said, “Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?” Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
S You have the place where miracles occur, as you would call them, or the working of God (as is truth). You have that which is the promise in the well, or that which is to come as Jesus the Christ, that is the holy water, the holy spring, the refreshener of the body, rejuvenator of the soul.
Genesis 16:15-16
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
S This is the introduction of the phase that you and the seekers of the light become before the enlightenment or that which is the consciousness dwelling within the physical or the physical body. That is to say, physically aware of self, of the world about self, influenced by the world about self, buffeted by the world about self, and yet spiritually inclined, spiritually seeking and spiritually becoming aware or awakened to the place of both body and soul in the spiritual nature of things and in the physical nature of things. And yet unable to lift self up or to progress to the greater degree beyond the understanding of the spiritual nature enhanced within the physical or the physical confines of the body and the world about selves.
Q It seems that there were children that were born to individuals that were closely related in this material that we have gone over. Was that a common thing that happened in that day? Was that a common practice or . . . ?
S It was a common practice, a common occurrence. (10-144)
Q Is there any numerological significance in Abram’s age at this point – eighty and six?
S It was a choice, or a five number, a choice and indicating that from the work of Abram or that which became Abraham, spiritual leader, that the work within himself and in others would begin in earnest to recreate that which was the world as God had created it in the beginning – a place to pass through, not to be trapped within.
Q If the name Abram, Abba and Ram – Father and Ram which is associated with the third chakra – so at that time he was still basically operating at the third chakra level. Is that it?
S This is correct. the me
