RAM Reading 10-11 7-27-74
Michael the Archangel, as a heavenly messenger, identified as the source for this reading.
Channel
Our Father, our God, God of Love and Mercy, we come before Thee in the knowledge that Thou are truly merciful, Father, and that we call upon this mercy, Father , that that which comes to us this night might be of Thee, that Thy glory may be known again among men and that our way may be made straight, so that we, too, may serve Thee as You would have us serve Thee. And we thank Thee, Father, for Thy love, for Thy generosity, for Thy Being, and we call upon the name of Jesus Christ that He be with us now, ever our leader, our guide, our Elder Brother, in whose footsteps we would follow.
Source
Hear now, oh thou children of the One. Thus, saith the Lord thy God: woe unto him that spreads discontent; woe unto him that would give evil for good. For what is the meaning of Job? That which is the overcoming of self-righteousness with the Christ-righteousness. This is the meaning of Job. How is it put? Before, I heard of Thee through the hearing of the ear; but now I see Thee with my eye, and I abhor myself, and I repent in dust and ashes. What did Job know? Oh, foolish ones. He saw what self-righteousness was and he that dictates to his fellowman or would do same. He saw with the eye, that of the third eye, the truth, the being of the Lord, and was repent and called upon the mercy of the Father – even as ye may, if ye repent. Therefore, listen to the word of thy God for of thee nothing can come lest ye find harmony. And what is harmony? Even a melody. Even that which would come from thee, the chords of each of you, to bring to that which is the heavenly bodies the harmony of their chords. For each of the heavenly bodies has its chords to form the melody, to bring the harmony, that the harmony may be perfected throughout the universe, that the Son of Man may come unto thee again with healing in His wings. Harken to the words of the Lord thy God lest ye be cast aside. For He will not tolerate that which is discord in that which is the harmony and the seeking of same among His people. Even each one of you present has contributed to disharmony. Become harmonious with selves lest ye be cast aside, for great is the fall if ye have the knowledge and ye are cast away from that which is as the harmonizing of this group, this order, this way, for there is now not the time for any man to hinder the work that is of the Lord. Therefore, thus saith the Lord thy God: I have mercy upon them that repent and come unto Me, but woe unto thee that cast my Name aside for selfishness and for not the learning as Job learned the truth of righteousness.
We are here. We have this group. We are ready for this reading.
Q Those present in the room are 110, 199, 146,131, 178, 114, 101 and 180. The date is July 27, 1974, and the approximate time is 7:49 PM. You shall have before you the members of this group and answer the questions so asked.
S We have this group, and we will answer those questions in the form and manner as we know is best, that we know is fit, and we would give to you the responsibility of that which occurs in the elements now. Think you this is that which is as given so oft among this peoples as the monsoons of Tucson? That turbulence without is of this group. Imagine the turbulence caused by millions.
We are ready for questions at this time.
Choosing of the members of the core group
Q Why were some members of the core group picked by name and others by lot?
S Well, we’ve waited for this one. Why tookest you so long to reach it? This is the working, then, of the Holy Spirit, showing the way, that though the Holy Spirit would name the names, selves have the Holy Spirit working in selves too, and may make it work to that which is the glory of the Father. Therefore, the naming of the names and the drawing through selves is one and the same. Selves are channels of the Holy Spirit. Selves are equal, see. Yet forget not in the equality who is the greatest use and through who the success, or the failure, will be heaped upon.
Q How did it come about that the original eight members of the core group contain two family groupings? (10)
S For there came at the times of the groupings, see, the prior coursing, see, even as each individual was coursed, see? And to bring those individuals together, there had, then, to be in the case of the questioner at this time, (199), that which is the bringing of a family together for the situation of bringing the balance to one system and the entities in another, see? For as that which is the child (180) of (110) must have come to be about the chosen work and yet could only make entry at the certain place, the certain time; whereas each of the rest made their entries at selected intervals given the time and opportunity to make the choosing to come this way. For remember, even as He gave to those around Him: “Ye have not chosen Me; I have chosen thee”. See?
Q Are there particular criteria, or qualifications, that we should be considering in regard to the forthcoming new members of the core group? (10)
S Even as given, take each name into prayer and meditation and allowing the Holy Spirit, not selves, not for likes, not for personal wants, putting selves aside where friend exists. Take many names, and allow them to come to selves, evaluated in selves, and then if self does not have the opinion of who should be mentioned or put forth, let self, become a tool of the Holy Spirit and draw the name that self would submit to this channel for selection; and if there is fear in self then come before the channel stating so and allow the channel to draw the name, verbally or in hand.
Q With regard to people who do not live in Tucson, but who might be considered for membership in this core group except for their remoteness, should the consideration of such people be included as part of the two names that each member may propose for additions to the group or should they be considered as a separate category? I have in mind such people as (134), (142), (147), et cetera, who would not likely be able to attend on a regular, frequent basis. (10)
S None of these so mentioned can become part of this core group for the very fact that they belong to organizations that this group will come out to meet and will help to be the web, see, even as it is a hub; they may become spokes, see, to that which is the everlasting formation of love. For each is part of an organization doing its chain work, to be brought into focus one with the other. For could (147) go directly to (205)? Never. But selves can be the intermediate. As for those others that will be out of the side of this circle, this group (for this group must be maintained from the locale so they may come as a group), they will be informed but not to be invited to these readings for the fact that they will not be part of that which must be established as a nucleus, see? Even as the atom has the force within it, or the nucleus, for without the nucleus there can be no neutrons, protons, electrons. Therefore, the nucleus is made of those particles, even given before in the readings, and more. So, each is part of the nucleus and must come together as a nucleus; for the nucleus cannot be separated at this time, though auxiliaries may be formed, here and there, and will, across this land and even in others, that they, too, may radiate to others, as the hub.
Preparing the way: The Work
12 Q What should be done to ensure success? (l 0)
s Find harmony within selves and in finding it within selves, towards others. Rile not at others or dictate not to others. For no one has the authority to do more than forgive and love his brother in this group or anywhere.
Q Are there groups all over the world working on this? (10)
S This is the group. There are groups doing divergent things, but this is the group that must bring the harmony of thought, of understanding to the others. For there will not be interference from this group in others; but understand that the word will go forth that they may consider that they may accept, seeing that this is no harm to them and understanding, even at the soul level and the mental level, that this is the word of good, this is the word of the Coming. For why has the Roman Catholic church riled and rared at others? For fear of losing its position. Why does (205) strike back at those that it sees as challenging? For fear of losing its power base and its identity. These are but examples, for all do this. That is why this group must find the peace of mind within selves and become one. Without the harmony, selves cannot be the corpuscle within the body of God but will be pus within the body of God, to be ridded. For without the threat to others, why cannot others accept? There will be no fear – only a chance to achieve and to grow greater.
Q The Source has mentioned several times that we must cleanse selves as a beginning toward building the platform. Please elaborate. (146)
S Well, get rid of those urges: criticism of self and others; faultfinding with self and others; find understanding in self and others; be charitable to self and others; in short, love. Get rid of these things and replace them with that which is the positive. This is the cleansing of the mind and the joy to the soul.
Arizona, the Work, Cayce and RAM
Q The Cayce readings are said to contain the statement that the “work” would not flourish nor meet its goal until the “Arizona group or contingent” developed it.
Could you give us the exact statement and the number of the reading in which it appears? (131)
S Not to be at this time. It is close at hand at being found. Much consternation, much provoked thought, much fear, and yet to be found and later to be used not by selves but by the very finders, to justify the existence and the saving of face in coming forward to meet this group, and others, through the reaffirming of that which was the purpose for that formation by Cayce and that which came through Cayce to be extended, to be known the more .
Q Is this core group the counterpart of Group I which wrote the Search For God material based on the Edgar Cayce readings? (10)
S Not counter, but culmination, see. For they came as the opening of the door, laying the ground, for that which is to be now. Therefore, though others have failed, though others have not done what they should have done, selves are now, then, that which must do. Therefore, be about thy Father’s business, understanding the magnitude, the power and the honor. But remember, he that is first will be last. Be humble.
Q Is the purpose of the platform (the return) a continuation of what was called “the work” in the Edgar Cayce readings? (10)
S This is true. And what is the work? Even as given earlier in this reading: To become that which brings the harmony, that the melody of the spheres may come together bringing that which is the harmony, the melody, the music, that is the path, the guidance, the light, for the Prince of Love, the Son of Man.
Personal reading re spiritual gifts and role as a member of the core group
Q What spiritual gifts do I possess; how can they be brought forth, and how can they be used for the benefit of mankind? (114)
S First, the greatest spiritual blessing that this entity can give to others is that which the entity has embarked upon now in overcoming self and that which faces self, even as that which is the meeting of self, daily. The entity is to be commended for that which – steps that have been made toward same. However, the entity is to use that which is the knowledge and background, especially of that which is the channel, Cayce, to bring to bear on others that which is the message that comes as RAM to be used as same. But be forewarned: self sometimes becomes headstrong to obstinance in that which is the chase. For, see, in self, there is that which fell just short in another time, in another place, and when self knew self was so close. Therefore, then, give to others that which are the understandings, the abilities, the drive, the organizational talents, even to that which will be as the word that goes forth in this fashion and in this time, also bringing to it the balance of the gospel – the good news.
Q Can this be added to by saying what role, or roles, I’m best fitted to play in this core group, in the preparation of the platform? (114)
S As given, bringing forth the similarity and the coordination and pointing out that this is a continuation of that which began through the channel Cayce; and by helping organize the publications of same. As to that which will come in the future, let it come as that. For, remember, no one will be in one slot forever, or to command one slot. For this has been the downfall of other organizations. For clearly others have labels, see. “This is my territory. Step not upon it or you are attacking me.” For, remember, there is a twofold edge to, “He that is for Me is for the Lord and he that is against Me is for Satan.” Use self for the Lord, each and every one here establish, or try to establish not a fiefdom, see, in any location, locale, or endeavorment. For this then leads away, once again from the path, the light. For even those of the disciples fell apart over such matters as this. Repeat not that which was the downfall of those that were blessed with the presence of the Holy One.
Q I also would like to know what role, or roles, I am best fitted to play in this core group, and the preparation of the platform. (199)
S First, to help (110) find peace in this world, rather than agitation, which so often occurs one with the other, see. To awaken in self the truth of the spiritual search, not halfway. To throw aside those four basic desires that sometimes dominate this entity and use the abilities of calm and purpose. Use those Virgo abilities of cooperation and putting things in order to their better degree. And use the powers of the mind and the clear seeing that the entity is quite capable of, more so than some others in this group, in seeing the relationships of one another and reminding those others, regardless of who they are, that unity is that part of harmony that must be in each and every individual and between each and every individual. The entity is important to the one who is (110) by channeling those powers of the soul force to help in the removal of the desires and cross-purposes in (110) himself, which sometimes threaten (110) more than one would expect or even believe in this group. Q
Final authority in the channel
Q In reference to this question about not establishing a fiefdom by any member of the group, the Cayce material said that the authority would always be vested in him through whom the information came. Is this true in this group that the authority should be always in the channel? (114)
S Whereas each of you may fail or succeed, the failure of the group or the success of the group falls on the head and the shoulders of the channel. Where ye may fall (and fall far with the knowledge not used properly), this one can fall all the way, for there is more to be lost through this one than ye can imagine. Therefore, the success and the failure and the authority rests with the channel.
Energy used in the readings
Q Where does the energy used in a reading come from? (131)
S Each and every one of you; from the Source Itself. For if you could look at your pineal bodies and your pituitaries, you would find vast changes in them, even from a year ago, but even then, over most of thy fellow beings. Especially, that if you could see that which is the channel’s, you would understand and grasp the knowledge by checking it with ordinary ones, see. They act, then, in coordinates, each one of you as drawing a great power and passing it forth in the circular, just as in the body, see. That is why you are arranged in the circle. You are forming a body (more than one corpuscle, more than one cell) in the Father. Therefore, then, the ultimate is being even as magnetic fields, like drawing on like, bringing the power from the heavenly source, from the messengers, from the throne of Love itself: though there is that which stands in the way, else this circle would be obliterated with the power generated from that which is the heavenly source. But each and every one of you are a great part in this chain. Therefore, fall not by the wayside, for though there will be others to take the place, ye have been selected, and if ye fall away then ye become as the Judas of the group. For there are many Judases abroad, in many organizations, and many places, or the world would not be as it is. Therefore, bring peace and harmony within selves so that ye can be the powerhouse of love that ye have at your disposal, each one of you.
Questions protocol
Q Is it permissible for those conducting the readings to add questions which it would seem that the questioner has overlooked if we see that they would be helpful and they are not of a nature foreign to t e questioner’s thinking? (114)
S We are here to answer, to help, and if the questions are not right as we see them, by all means, we will let you know. See?
Protocol for people requesting readings.
Q The material given by the Edgar Cayce readings was not satisfactory unless it was requested by the individual concerned – except in the case of children or unconscious patients when it required request by the responsible party with correct motives. Should we take this to mean that the channel should not undertake to do readings for people who have not requested them for themselves? (146)
S This is correct. For you see you have taken their free will away and interfered with their thinking, their choices. And woe unto you when you do this, even unsuspectingly. For you reap what you sow, and knowingly, this is that which causes turmoil and turbulence within self and much time sleeplessness when entities could not understand why. This is interference with the basic right of each entity that enters the plane: to choose for self what self will do.
Q Should individuals be requested to formally put their requests in writing? (146)
S If they can, yes.
Duties of the conductor
Q What are the duties of the conductor other than to see that no harm comes to the channel, to delineate the vital statistics of the questioner, and to state the questions, plus questions for clarification? (146)
S The first and greatest duty of that one is to concentrate on that which is the word, and the channel. For it is primarily through whoever the conductor at the time is that the tone of the reading is set, by that which is the primary pushing aside of interference and the channeling then of the peace of the group or those present; and quite often, quite often, acts as that which is the antenna that gathers the information for the one that is the channel, or the Source, to use, when the Source consists in the channel of that which is the higher self of the channel.
Q Other than giving strict attention and asking prepared questions (as well as clarifications of prepared questions), what are the duties of other members of the core group during readings? (10)
S First, to cooperate in that which is harmony, for this is the essence, the essential of the being, to forget the petty differences; to bring forth in self all power that is even exampled in each one here of love, truth, and beauty. For each of you possess so much. This is why the selection of each and every individual here. For look at you. Though you see the flesh and the blood, and you see differences, male or female, short or tall, heavy or thin – what have you – you are in essence a product that has been builded and honed for one purpose, and one purpose only, at this time. There are no others at this time that could fill your place. It’s an honor, but well earned. See it as that! And know the greater you. For even as Job became aware of God and even as we have given, each and every planet sings forth its song to be brought into harmony with the Prince of Love, you each and every one of you, is that chord that brings the harmony of the song of this planet to meet with that which is the heavenly chorus in a song not heard since He created and the stars sang. Grasp that, if you can!
Acting as a conduit for energy to the channel
Q Is it possible when one of us is present at a reading consciously concentrating on acting as a conduit for energy to the channel, that he could really – or she could really – be, in effect, draining energy from the channel? (10)
S This may be correct. To set up that which is a proper magnetic field, see, one must concentrate on self and make self as free of worldly thought, of self, of selfishness, of the ego (or that which is the conscious ego), and dwell on the thought of the Christ, and the peace of same. This, then, brings to this group the harmonic flow that is necessary for the best. For regardless of the drain or the tribulations or turmoil of any individual, or all individuals, this Source would come through. Yet not with the ease, being harder on that which is the channel, and on us, so – cooperate! This is what it’s all about: cooperation, peace! Peace within selves. How can the world be brought to peace if this inner group has no peace, or self has not peace with self – each individual?
Q I would like more time for spiritual things such as reading, praying, meditating. Should I mentally work on this – taking it to prayer? (199)
S Just find it. It’s there. As ye walk, as ye talk, ye may pray. Ye may bring forth in self those abilities, even as we have given for the entities in this group to bring forth. Each individual, regardless of what they are doing, can say the prayer, can remember the word. What is the word? God is the word. Love is the word. Make your actions your prayers and then you have twenty-four hours a day to do it whether you are sleeping or awake.
Q I’d like to ask one more question. Do you feel that it is a necessary thing that I sit in on readings, that I help with them, or conduct them, or perhaps I can be more help if I meditate in another room? (199)
S We would have this entity present much of the time, conduct much of the time, and prepare especially the one that is (180) as the one who will be eventually the conductor, for the abilities the entity has gained in past experience must be used correctly in this experience. Though that entity may not allow it to go to his head or he will be removed, too, – and when he learns the lesson, then reinstated. For he must remember, also, because of that which is the military inclination in this entity that he is not dictator or general, that the channel is that which is the authority in the thinking and doing and is to be chastised accordingly. Therefore, let that one be prepared by self, and others, for the role that must be played.
Q To enhance emotional balance or spiritual attunement, by which name should I be known? (199)
S Well, it’ s been written a long time ago, and take heed, because we couldn’t say it better, “What 1s in a name?” That vibration you give off as (199) – it all boils down to a syllable in the name of names. For what is the name John? What is the name Fred? What is the name Jane, Mary, but a tiny part of the total name. If you feel at ease with one, use it! It’s vibrating best for self at that time. But remember, a name as (199) is but a sign hung on a conscious ego and nothing more. And how little you understand of yourself, or yourselves, the greater you. This tiny facet that emerges – even an iceberg shows more of itself above the water than self does in this time, or the name. For all names the entity has had are woven together in the harmony of the name, and in that time the true name will be given to thee when thou are allowed to go forth to thy Father’s house.
Q Can you help me – give me something as to how the emphasis, or harmony, can be improved in me at this time to be more in attunement with the highest purpose? (131)
S Yes, go the route of peace within self and peace towards thy brother and sister – and this is for everyone in this group. Peace within self; peace to thy brother and sister and this, along with thy work, thy meditation, thy prayers, will bring a harmony within that which is the endocrine system (or that which are the centers, or the soul centers) within self. For each one of you is imbalanced in one way or another.
Breathing exercises in meditation
Q The Source has stated that there are certain words to accompany the breathing exercises that are preliminary to meditation. Would the Source please tell us what these words are, what they mean, and how they are to be used? (199)
S You have the ability! Read Cayce! He gave it!
Quieting the mind in meditation
Q Could you give us an affirmation (those of us who have trouble with the conscious mind) that would help us put aside, or quiet, the conscious mind at times set aside for meditation? (178)
S Yes. And in this manner:
MAY THE PEACE OF MY ELDER BROTHER, JESUS THE CHRIST, POUR INTO MY MIND, MY BODY, FILLING ME WITH THAT WHICH IS THE QUIET, THE SILENCE, THE LOVE THAT FILLS MY HEART WITH UNLIMITED JOY.
Self-hypnosis
Q Could one use self-hypnosis carrying the same thought of the love, the peace of Christ stealing into one’s body going over the whole body and bringing it up to the mind as a means of inducing peace for meditation? (114)
S Well, you’ve used it, haven’t you?
Q What I meant was, is it right to do this? (114)
S If it works for you, it’s right.
Rays
Q Can a ray be defined in such a way that we may understand it? (199)
S That’s a tall order. Well, think of a ray as a path, a sidewalk, a shining rail (for that’s what it is), that leads one way, and yet leads both ways. Can you grasp that? It’s straight and yet it’s circular. Can you grasp that? That you walk upon, that takes you, that carries you, that you may even fly upon towards that which is your destiny.
Q What are my rays – this is my overall ray – and my major and minor or sub rays for this incarnation? (131)
S Well, we find predominately the 7th and 3rd rays. But, as we have given earlier, they are more of an interest factor than anything else. There’s not much you can do about them or with them at this level. They ‘re really and truly, much of the time, that which leads away from purposes for many people get involved in this, just as they do in other things, and get all “balled up” and miss the boat. Just understand you have them, that you’re not necessarily always on them, that you do have one and yet it’s not dominant. Can you get that? Well, it’s true!
Q Please clarify the steps (110) should take in mastering self-hypnosis. (131)
S First, should listen to the opinions and understandings of everyone in this group that has them on self-hypnosis, taking them into meditation to that which is the Source, and allowing the Source to change or to point out that which is best for the entity.
Q In the March work reading it was stated that this entity possesses the ability to use hypnosis for the benefit of others. Could you delve into this area a little more fully? (131)
S Yes but be careful! First of all, the rule that they ask for it and they have a need (especially to those which are the upsetting of the mind), that ye can concentrate through the affirmations of positive quality in that which is the hypnosis, till they are under hypnosis willingly. And that you pour into them that the Christ is there, the love of Christ fills them, the love of Christ guides them, the love of Christ wipes out all sins.
Q Is there a specific list of do’s and don’ts in the use of hypnosis? (131)
S Never do it for their ego, or for self’s ego, for the results can be disastrous. Never do it for that which is exciting; never do it for that which would give excitement to others. Never do it for the phenomena and don’t regress people. That’s for others to do. Do it for the healing, for the glory of God. Keep that in mind. It is the glory of God, the glory of God, the glory of God, and let them know it too. And then the results will be the positive.
Q Can a suggestion, or even order, be given to a subject under hypnosis that the subject heal himself and actually have the healing take place? (131)
S Ah, but then that’s contrary to their own free will. Don’t do that either. Let them be filled with the glory of God.
Fear of death
Q If we have been in and out of this world a number of times, why do so many people have such a fear of death? (101)
S Because they have not evolved; because the fear of death is that which has been ingrained in them from those times, especially those who are Atlanteans, that did not want to go the way of One and chose instead that which were the negative forces, or the nonspiritual forces, or that of the fallen angel – the mind, the mental conditions and the one represented there.
1000 years and perfected bodies
Q The Source mentioned that the 144,000 souls will use “bodies perfected at that time”. Should we be contributing towards this perfection and, if so, how? (101)
S Even as selves have been perfecting in self the pituitary and the pineal bodies and with the rest of the organs to follow – and I say organs – the heart, the lungs, (whether you know it or not) are perfecting and reacting, even if not in the physical bodies of self , on the astral plane, allowing others, then, on that plane to begin again perfecting the bodies to be sent in, to be used, and working upon others. You’re giving them a boost for they can graduate to higher degrees if they’re given an opportunity to work with selves even in the harmony of same.
Mental and psychic gifts
Q It was mentioned several months ago that I should pursue a “mental diet” for weight reduction of the physical body. Can you give me any additional help with this? (101)
S First, be proud of the success, even in the mind. Now begin to concentrate on the perfection of the body you would have by visualizing it, and in the visualizing of it, make it true. For self has much ability in the visual arts even as the one (199) – has.
Q Is this type of visualizing something that others can use as well? (101)
S Oh, yes. But not to the degree, see. Whereas see, others use other gifts, even as (131) may use the powers of rising in others, and raising in others, that which is the healing, or that which is the flow of the magnetic fields within the physical and that which are the astral bodies. Each of you have abilities that are different one from the other.
Subconscious mind
Q Please explain how the subconscious mind can be mistreated. (178)
S By pouring into it the trash and filth and garbage that is all around you – whether it’s the emotional garbage or the physical garbage. And even that which you eat affects that mind.
Angels
Q It’s been said by others that angels can lead astray. I don’t believe this. Would you care to comment? (180)
S You’re correct. They’re heavenly messengers from the foot of God. For even I, in my being, and I use the word “I” as a heavenly messenger, can’t even do as ye do and have freedom of thought, make choices.
Q Are you an angel? (199)
s This is Michael, lord of the Way.
Knowledge and understanding
Q In the last reading, you mentioned that fools, idiots, and so forth, have the ability to encompass all the knowledge and use it. How can people of this nature be helped across the illusionary? (199)
S First, by all that happens around them is absorbed and they have all knowledge within them and the further knowledge, or the understanding of the knowledge, is in the practice of it, and that which is practiced around them. If the barriers were lifted, even at their limited capacity, they could do all things, and yet, all things are available. It’s hard to explain, hard for you to understand, that there is a dualism here. For all knowledge is there – and yet not one entity in this entire world is at the point that they can reach to it. And yet, even with the mental abilities that a fool or an idiot has, if they were to focalize it, they could do anything they wanted in this world: walk on water, cure, walk through mountains, lift the dead. Kind of makes you wonder about yourselves, doesn’t it?
Children with disabilities
Q When you’re working with young children in school, and you know they have a disability or a problem, it’s always been my philosophy, to feed in them, “Yes, you can do it”, regardless of the problem. Is this correct? (199)
S Usually. However, there are those who are there because of ego situations of other lives and the mental approach to the intellect (making them think that they were giants) and then they’ve been humbled. The best thing to feed to them is love and that you love them no matter what. That’s the thing that brings joy, and if you could know the pure joy of the Father for He feels the same about each one of you in your limited capacities at this time.
Music
Q Does music help to lift us to higher spiritual levels? (101)
S It does. Even as given, it’s harmony and the music of the spheres that will bring back the Lord of this life, the Lord of this world, my Lord and your Lord, Jesus the Christ.
Q Is rock music known as that which calcifies the glandular centers of the body? (l80)
S That’s as good a label as you can put on it.
Q What kinds or types of music is it best to listen to for the higher spiritual purpose? (101)
S Those that are built in melody and harmony, see, that bring soothing effects. Try them on your plants. If they work on them, they’ll work on you.
Castor oil packs
Q You mentioned castor oil packs several times to people and said not over forty minutes. Is it dangerous to use them over forty minutes or is there some reason… (178)
S They lose their ability to bring forth the harmony in the cells and to draw out that which is disharmony or discord and then become a burden upon selves, mentally and physically.
Reality and illusion
Q You spoke about this life being illusionary. what do you mean by illusion? We have to live in it as if it’s real… (146)
S Oh, it’s real. It’s real to you, but it’s not real. Ha, see? You feel it. You see it. You have manufactured it, but it’s not real. The eyes of God see it not, for the eyes of God knows what the truth is. We see it for what it is. How else do you think that we walk through it unharmed, untouched, undirtied, unsoiled, unhindered by it? Why do you think that Jesus the Christ could rearrange it when he wanted to? Because it doesn’t exist.
Q What can we do to ever get rid of this feeling of reality? (146)
S Well, by realizing what you’re looking in is a mirror. And you may see the mountain in the mirror, you may see yourself in the mirror, but it’s not there. This is as close as we can give it to you. If you can just understand that and begin to realize the importance of the whole situation is that which lies within self. Not the ego-self, but that which lies within self, that there is a glory, a wonder, and when you stop allowing the illusion of others and self to interfere, then it’ll start dissipating around you, and you’ll find it’s true. Those people as they raise up in understanding begin to see it dissolve. That’s why they’re unaffected by everything that’s done to them. Look ye as to who was the first martyr after Jesus the Christ. As the stones fell upon him, he didn’t even wince because he knew what was happening. And what did he see? He saw the Lord, Jesus Christ, standing before him and all the saints beckoning him up and he went.
Four basic desires
Q When we really want to live in “this way” and we really want to follow, why do we have to keep relearning and redoing it? (146)
S Because you haven’t gotten rid of desire. Even the wanting to is desire. There must be a desireless atmosphere within self and this is what brings harmony. It is the four basic desires within selves, especially those of the four lower centers, that have held man. You’ve heard that it is that which is the inquiring mind, that which is the searching, that which is all of those things that hold you in the earth; but, in truth, it’s desire. The others are just part of the desires. It is desire that brought man into his being. Desire is that which got man away from God, desire to be individual personalities rather than that which was created by God. God knew it and to be the gods that ye must become, ye must experience all of this, even getting rid of the desires – for God Himself does not have desire that you can understand.
Q What are these four basic desires? (146)
S If you will but get into those which are the readings of Cayce, there‘s good explanation of the four basic desires. It would be good for each and every member here to begin to reread Cayce again, if you’re not doing it now. For, remember, it’s the door that opened the way for this platform to succeed. Know your basis and know your Bible – only a couple here do.
Q When you say to read Cayce – could you be a little more specific, sir? What books do you suggest? (114)
s Well, begin with the Search For God books. Especially study that which is the Revelations or the book of Revelations as done by Cayce. This is a good start if you can wade through those. There are all kinds of material here. Begin to understand. Pick up a book here, or a reading there. And read one reading and go over it and try to envision what it is; and then bring the questions here to this Source that we might go over them ourselves and help you understand that which is given.
Creation
Q With regard to the creation of the bodies that man inhabits “in one stroke”: How long a time period did this stroke consume? (131)
S Quite a few thousand of your years, but all a day’s work in the life of God. Understand that there were no humans on earth as such, for that frail vehicle was constructed to carry the great majesty of the soul, even in its fallen ways, even in its misunderstanding, misapplication of the will, in quite a time period. It was not developed helter-skelter – or a cranium here, a mandible there, a tibia there, a femur there, a phalange here, and so forth, see – but in the magnitude of the wonder of God and His workers. It came simultaneously, perfected at one time, but it was being perfected for thousands of years in the mental imaging and understanding of those that were the vehicles for the formation of same, with the permission and guidance of the Creative Force. For God had the perfect picture of man, the Christ, held back until Jesus made that perfect mind, body, spiritual attunement that the Christ could enter in. This is why He and He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
Biblical questions:
Job
Q Who is the entity Job? (131)
S Job? There was a Job. But Job is that which is each and every one of you. For Job is that which must climb up through the tortures. For Job, see, in his fear, in his self-righteousness, brought on to himself all his own afflictions. And that is mankind, each and every one of you, thy brothers, thy sisters, wherever they may be. But Job also is that, that found righteousness in the Christ. Read you Job 42.
Q Does the 42nd chapter of Job relate at all to the 42nd Psalm? (131)
S Quite much.
Q What did Jesus say on the cross? Was it, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” If so, why? (131)
S Well, as some of you are familiar with here, this in essence is what was said. For the body and the mental condition were intact, but the soul force, the Christ, had left, abandoning that with that great mind knowing so. And when one has been in so touch with the God Force, the Life Force, and knowing the Truth is missing and gone and left, what loneliness, even in that instant, that ye cannot imagine (or even we) that experience. It’s awe-inspiring!
Q Luke 11:26 states: “then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and there enter in, and dwell there; and the last…” (199)
S And he is worse than he was in the beginning – yes, we have that and ye would like to know what it means? Well, if you wipe out and chase out the spirit, selfishness let’s say, and the possession of same, and it goes forth and ye have kept the house warm and comfortable for him and not locking him out, he brings his brothers and every center in the body is possessed.
Q Please define the word “Chitta” (a Sanskrit word) and the word “Peniel” (Genesis 32:30) giving any correspondences between the words and any relationship to this group or members thereof. (146)
S Well, here is the action, or the working of the spiritual level of the body, for see in the Chitta or the Peniel this is that which conducts, and we mean it, conducts the pituitary. It’s that which draws in the force of the Father and pours it forth through the higher gland, the highest which is the pituitary, see. Without it you can’t reach that which is necessary, that which pulls forth the higher workings of the glandular system, the endocrine system, the soul system.
Q Did the experience of Jacob, described in Genesis 32:24-32, represent the opening and mastering of a spiritual center? And, if so, which one? (131)
S Raising up, you see, from that which is the thymus level through that which is the thyroid to that which is the pineal towards that which is the pineal.
Q You said from the pineal to the pineal. Did you mean the pituitary, sir? (114)
S Correct. We have the pineal or the pineal as one and the pituitary as another, see?
Q Who was the entity Elihu in the book of Job and what does Elihu symbolize? (131)
S Elihu is God that came to Job, see? After those three friends came to him, see? Were they friends? Ah, no. They were aspects of the ego and the intellect who tried to argue with Job, to lead him into that which is rationalization of the position he was in by telling him how good he was and everything else. But after Job met Elihu and spoke to him, he knew the truth.
Q What aspect of the ego did Eliphaz, the Temanite, symbolize? (131)
S That which is as the material aspect or that which is the ego garnering the understanding in the material of self-importance.
Q And what aspect did the entity Bil ‘dad, the Shu’hite, represent or symbolize? (l31)
S That which is the material gain in the worldly possessions or treasures.
Q And the third entity, Zo’ phar, the Na’a-math-ite? (131)
S Power over individuals and power over other things.
Q What was symbolized by Job’s seven sons and three daughters? (131)
S This is as that which he came back to double, see, even that which is the seven sons, or that which is the seven centers in the body, and that which is the three senses or that which is the three higher senses that are used in the communication, the understanding of the word and the lifting up of self above that which is the physical plane and that which is the physical being.
Q Is there anything else we need to know about the book of Job at this time? (131)
S That it’s self-struggle. You might look into – when you finish that, and most of you haven’t even begun that one – but look into Habakkuk. For it is short and here you have a prophet that speaks to God and God answers him back. And look into the metaphysical meaning and the mystical meaning of Habakkuk and you will see much of the answers to that which is occurring today.
Hub of life/hub of creation
Q Please discuss what is meant by the “hub of life” or the “hub of creation” as used in the last work reading. Are these the same? (101)
S The same. It is the life force; it is God. The hub of life within thee radiates from the solar plexus, for, have you ever heard of a body that lived without the solar center? The solar plexus – well named, for it is the sun of the universe of the body. Even the pituitary, the pineal, even the gonads with their life force cannot exist without that hub and it is an imitation of the universe which is an imitation of God – for without Him there would be nothing.
Adamic souls
Q Who are the Adamic souls? Please clarify the apparent discrepancy between answers in May and June. (101)
S We are looking into those readings. Adamic souls are those that follow the Adam, those that will be raised up in the last day, that will meet the Judgement in shining wings – wings of glory and of love, though they be spiritual wings rather than physical wings. As we find it, see, even in this sentence, as we gave, there is a stumbling, for the channel is not as clear (or has not given enough to self) to be a better channel. There will be those slips, those errors, until that time that the channel has pushed aside the triumphs of the desires over that which are the triumphs of the spirit.
Souls/Group soul related to Christ
Q Does Christ represent a group soul for the human race? (178)
S Not only the group soul but the pattern and the only way. For it is the God that is active within. Remember what He gave when He left? That he would give you a Holy Comforter – that is the Christ within each and every one of you; as He told them the Comforter is within. The blueprint, the power, the group soul lies within. Each of you is as a corpuscle in the body of God. Each is as a corpuscle in the group soul, the Christ force.
Q Are all souls alike? (178)
S Not one soul is alike. Oh, no. Each is as different as a snowflake is different, one from the other. Each is not – see, many would have the groups of souls, or all souls are alike even as grains of sand, even as crystals are always formed together. But no, see? Ye are as gods yourself. Therefore, you must be different, but be able to reflect and be as the oneness, see, but individual. This is the greatness of the gift of the Father to thee, and the foolishness of those that throw it away is to not know and be identical even with the greatness of God, but identical; and therefore, not the creative and not that which is the companion, which is the ultimate, to God.
Q Do souls expand, contract, or atrophy? (178)
s They do all three.
Q Are they eternal? (178)
s They are forever.
Q How many souls are there? (178)
s More than you could ever count! Oh, this little planet, this little universe, with its millions, its billions, is a tiny, tiny – well, the astronomers will tell you it’s the littlest of the little galaxies, the littlest of the little universes, sitting in a corner of God.
Q Are souls maturing? (178)
S We hope so!
Q Are the aborigines new souls, or why have they come into such a primitive condition? (178)
S Mainly they ‘re lazy souls.
Earth as an entity
Q Since the earth is an entity with a consciousness, did it have a birth? (114)
S Of course. Even as given in Genesis when He that is the Creative Spirit had contracted and thought and created and even in the order as given in Genesis, so it was created. It was here before self, but it is an entity. It had a birth from the Divine Mind, the Perfect Thought, and how mankind has besmirched that Perfect Thought.
Q Was it what the scientists call the “big bang”? (114)
S Ha! Rather let’s give it the “big thought”!
Q Will it have a death? (114)
S Never.
Q Is it harmful to the entity, Earth, if we pull weeds or cover it with concrete when constructing a building? (114)
S It depends on the purpose, see. If it’s destructive to begin with or selfish, then it hurts. If it is for the good (remember, man was given dominion over this earth and over all that is within), if the dominion or the domination is for correct purposes, it doesn’t matter what’s done. But it’s the thought behind it and the thoughts now are so selfish, the earth is hurting.
Q Does the earth entity’s thought processes produce any physical manifestations apparent to the conscious human mind? (114)
S Oh, yes. All of those turbulences that are found from within the earth and in the atmosphere are caused by man’s mind reacting to that which is the earth’s, or entity earth’s mind. But don’t think the earth thinks as you do, because only man is given that prerogative, not even the angels. Question? (And we know.)
105 Q Is our earth, then, a spiritual entity and not material? (199)
S It’s a spiritual entity manifest in the loving hands of God that ye might find a place for your illusionary transgressions.
Spiritual development versus intellect
Q I’m hearing, then, that the development of a soul spiritually has nothing to do with his intellect? (199)
S Well, Peter had not the great intellect but developed same in other ways. A great soul who understood his worst enemy: himself. And yet look at Paul. One of the greater intellects ever formed, ever all owed to roam this earth and yet Paul was his own worst enemy, for he never fully conquered the use of his intellect. For there are the simple peoples. Where are the miracles today? Where are the apparitions today? Where are so oft the messages given – to those simple people of faith. Look ye at those countries. Though they be in the grips of misery, though they be poverty stricken, the faith is whole and here is where the works of the Father appear, and the messages heard. Not so in this land of wealth, of intellect, of that monstrosity called the ego of the mind. Separate this from the true ego of the spirit – there is a difference. Yet what greater thing than to have the intellect to use as a tool, a tool of the spirit, for the love of the Father. How thee are blessed when thou possesses an intellect rightly used!
Thought forms
Q What is the meaning of: “There are manifestations of thought forms on all levels?” (146)
S We have this as that which pertains to the levels of the mind, first. For all is of the mind in this category. We have it on that which is the level of the material and even to that which is the border–1and — all the 1evels that the mind of man can infiltrate, see? These are all the levels. We do not include that of the levels even as given, “In My house there are many mansions”. This pertains to the higher levels, even to the God level, where thought forms only of God’s building and of those who have been given to build, may build; where the thoughts of man cannot enter lest they contaminate perfection.
Hitler and Himmler and thought forms
Q What are elementals? Are they thought forms? (146)
S Elementals consist in two varieties, see. Thought forms, yes, but souls that have not developed within themselves the force, the understanding, and are gripped in the sub- understandings even lower than that of the humans. We would give, then, this thought, this understanding: even as the man called (1159) was as possessed to a degree, and, in truth, possessed by thought forms, and, in truth, by forms of entities at time long gone, that which is given in the testaments, the gospels, as devils. We would give you what happens when by error, by foolishness on mankind’s part that one of these sub-normal, non-developed entities enters into this plane. Worse than (1159) – who? Well, he who became his number one, . . (1163) who had no right to be, but was; who was subhuman in the activities but with an intellect, see, of high quality, see? Whereupon ye may ponder what happens to the high intellect wrongly used, wrongly developed. For what did he develop? Every one of the techniques of torture and pain used by that which were the Black Shirts. And he, himself, instigated and taught them, see, by purpose, by the foulness of being brought in undeveloped, through the efforts, the collected efforts, of the foolishness and the selfishness of man. And be ye warned in yourselves of the wrong use of the intellect, for this is the greater of the sins. For the man (1159 -Hitler) fell, but that which was (1163-HImmler) could not fall, and woe unto them that brought him forth. For they shall suffer, for in their selves they were worse, you see, than the man called (1159).
Q How and why was (1163) allowed into the world? (180)
s By the manifestation, the invitation of the selfishness, the hates, the lusts of mankind. What hate? That fermented among the German peoples, especially that which was pushed upon them by the treatment received at the hands of those so called “good guys” and yet by their own leaders. He was a brought forth, too young to serve in that which was the war, though he was in uniform in that which was called “the first great war to end all wars” and pretty darn near ended all wars the second time around, that being World War II as you would call it. For though he was of body and mind born, the sub intellect (though high intellect but sub in the qualities of humanity) flowered and was brought into him to be used, and he used it.
Physical, mental and spiritual readings for individual members of the group and family members
Q The Source’s earlier readings – today they are much wider in scope, and they are of greater depth. Should those people who had readings several years ago have their readings repeated? (178)
S Oh, they might have check readings; most of which was given – the essence – is the best. The difficulties are still there (and quite a bit) in this channel but we’re, in cooperation with this one, pushing away those which are the desires, and those things which stand in the way of the better understanding. And as this entity grows the more physically, mentally, and spiritually, and in the understanding of brotherliness and of love one for each other, so the readings will get more thorough, more pinpointed, more progressive, even to that which is through the hypnosis, or self-hypnosis, and those that have had readings may have check readings and there is where any discrepancies may be brought forth. It is good for those entities to submit questions on their present time standing as they are. Remember this, see, what many do not understand is as ye overcome the stumbling blocks brought forward from another incarnation, or other incarnations, so ye may call in the subconscious mind, or the conscious mind, to bring forth those stumbling blocks from other incarnations to overcome and garner the more from this incarnation, cutting down that time that self has to spend in other incarnations in this plane, see?
Q Should (110) and (199) have individual readings from the Source? (146)
S Only if they are willing.
Q If so, who should conduct them? (146)
S Well, anyone here could. We suggest for the one who is (199) , that (101) do it ; that for the one who is (110), either (199) or (114) do it for that reason of the purposes in other lifetimes have come together more often than the others in this group.
Q How is it that the Source is inclined to pinpoint specifically physical problems but does not give equally specific guidance in regard to emotional or mental problems needing attention? (178)
S Well, who among you can delve into your very selves? Who can look within their body? Though they could – they can’t! For what have they done? They are in that which is their material understanding. Therefore, they must use their material understanding, at least, and find the answers, for they have the abilities to look into themselves. And until selves have (not) looked into the mental aspects and the thought processes and the truth of their being, they can never look into the rest of their body. Therefore, we will give that which is of the physical level that selves cannot see into yet but will – and let you do some work yourselves. See?
Q What steps should (110) take following surgery in order to shorten the time of absence from giving readings? (178)
S First, rest, much protein, little fats, away from the salts, packs to the area where the incision will be made, and the trauma occur, and let them be warm – not hot but warm – packs of the Oil of Christ. Let them be blessed, see. Let then the body be manipulated by a competent chiropractor before the surgery. Let the entity take large amounts of vitamin D, C, and E – no limit here, see? And to some extent, vitamin A – not more than ten or fifteen thousand units per day. Let the feet be ·soaked in hot water with Epsom Salts, and then the entity himself, or others, may massage them in a kneading fashion – not circular – but in a kneading fashion, that the centers that conduct that which is the healing in the body, are stimulated the more. And let the entity understand his own thymus and its workings. For here the antibodies and repair work pours forth, too. And let this prayer be part of him:
OH, FATHER, MY GOD, I UNDERSTAND THAT WHICH I HAVE GONE THROUGH AND DO GO THROUGH DAILY IS FOR MY LEARNING. IT IS FOR ME TO FACE THAT WHICH IS OF MINE OWN MAKING AND SEE IN IT THY MERCY, THY LOVE, IN MAKING ME WHOLE, THAT THE ILLUSION MAY BE WASHED AWAY AND THE TRUTH MADE MANIFEST WITHIN ME.
Q Do you mean castor oil for the Oil of Christ? (178)
S Yes, we do. Q
Q What may members of this group do to assist? Are there prayers or direct healing, or anything that others can give? (10)
S Ever the thought of healing. Ever the thought that this is not a person but a channel, and a channel of use, that is necessary for the many, that the One Above All may walk again amongst thee and heal the world’s wounds.
Q The Source stated in June that the postoperative bulge in my abdomen may need repair again. If this is necessary and school soon begins) would the Source please evaluate this situation so, if required, it can be taken care of before school begins? (178)
S Well, you see as we have given earlier, as we look into this entity, there is a loosening of the fat tissue (don ‘ t take offense at that). We see that there are some other tissues that are involved. We find a rolling therefore by the surgeon hand of the muscle tissue. And we find, see, that there is more than stratification here of the muscles. They‘ve thickened, too, but we do not see the need at this time, or the involvement for surgery. But remember this, your mind is the builder, and you have a potent one, especially where thine own body is concerned. You’ve used it many times before and to adverse results. Don’t build upon that. See it as that which as a thing that will go away and pass away and convince self of same. You haven’t done that yet.
Q At the beginning of the last reading, a fool was defined as one who has the knowledge but uses it not. Is this questioner being remiss or foolish in not using knowledge that he has? (131)
S Well, all of you that sit here have not used fully the knowledge. Each one of you is remiss in that function, see?
Q If you would call to mind those specific areas where this questioner has fallen short the most, I would appreciate it, and do promise to as least try to improve. (131)
S We believe the entity and we would say this: the entity has been told before he thrusts himself at others too greatly, not realizing. Be a little more tactful and that’s it.
Q May I ask why I’m so tired physically? (114)
S Result of the emotional impact that has been abuilding for at least two years. Q
Q What am I not seeing correctly that is responsible for the cataracts in my eyes? (ll4)
S Yourself in relation to humanity. For remember, in this entity, you brought in a huge ego and you’re mastering it quite well. And this is why there is at this time the beginning of the dissolving of that which is the cataract.
Q, I would like to ask one question for my stepdaughter, (203), who has an ailment in her chest which she can’t seem to get a consistent diagnosis on. Could you tell us what it is and what can be done to alleviate it? She’s in Flagstaff, Arizona. (101)
S No, she’s not. She’s outside of it right now. Yes, we have a scaling effect, see? We have – well, we have a disturbance here that – to the hemoglobin, see; to the, well, hemeogeal to be exact, see. There’s a reaction in this area that is a disturbance to the blood by reason that this entity has brought into self, even that which is an irritant to the blood supply acting as if another blood has been put in, see, into this area and creates this. If the entity will breathe the fumes of alcohol (not partake but breathe) even as that which is 70% alcohol, or more, and no longer than one minute at a time, exhaling deeply at the end and then quickly lying down (may be done in a sitting position and then lying down), and then a pack of castor oil put upon it, upon the area, for twenty minutes a night, we find that the entity will probably cure this and especially if the entity takes into the visualization that there is the healing of this area and follow this pattern of prayer:
MY FATHER, MY GOD, THOUGH I HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THY GLORY, I KNOW THAT THY MERCY SHOWS FORTH AND THY WILL WILL BE DONE IN ME AND I AM CONTENT AT THE RESULTS.
Business advice
Q Because of possible future fuel shortages and the time factor, should we try to find land near Tucson for the (132)? Some of us have been out looking. Would the Source be able to direct us to the best possible location? (114)
S Even in the search, it is for selves to find, keeping in mind that it is to be best for many; that this community, this area, will be as a hub even as one here has understood in looking in that which are the astrological projections, etcetera, and finding that which are the longitude and the latitude so conducive to same, see. It isn’t by any chance that this has occurred, see, for there is no chance here, even as ye are not here by chance, but by selection.
Q Would it be advisable to hire someone to help me during the school year in terms of cleaning the house? (199)
S Can’t this entity make up her own mind? You have a mind. You have a reason. Use it. But if you do use it, and do select, be very careful in the selection, for this material and these readings must be protected at all times for their proper use and their proper release.
Past lives
Q It was given in the October 13, 1973, work reading that after some time had passed and several work readings had been given, that each of us would be told who we were, and what the circumstances were, when we knew Jesus in the flesh. If enough time has passed and if we are ready for this, could it be given for each member of this group? (10)
S You’re not ready yet. Not till there is more overcoming in this group. Some of you, though you wouldn’t admit it even to yourselves, would get swell headed and therefore, would lose that harmony again that we are trying to establish within you.
Q Have we known all these things you’re teaching us before? (146)
S All knowledge was yours at one time, and it is yours if you could just reach it.
Q Can you tell me why it was necessary for me, or why I did turn my back on the Christ for so many years? (178)
S For the feeling that He had abandoned self. And we can’t give you the full thrust, or make it even clear to you though we could wipe away that veil that lies between. But it’s heart rendering, see, and until an entity has produced enough of the spirit within themselves can they realize such things. And yet He never turned His back on thee. This is what the learning is about.
Q Please clarify question #77 on the June 21st work reading: Was (1160) Mary Magdalene ‘ s mother in a previous life? (114)
S She was Mary Magdalene’s mother in a previous life.
Q At the beginning of the last work reading, the Source stated: “as written by one of your own, ‘what fools these mortals be’ . We recognize the quotation as from a speech by the character Robin Goodfellow (or Puck), but what was meant by “one of your own”? (114)
S One that sitteth in the circle that we will not name, and hasn’t been given that life for the very fact that there is much too much involved in that life, and would bring forth consternation in that which the entity is building in this life. Understand?
S William Blake was a highly illumined entity, is a highly illumined entity, exists now close to this group for that entity has much to do especially with one of this group in friendship and coordination.
And this entity that is the channel is tiring and there is that which is in the atmosphere that is disconcerting, we will end this reading now. This is Michael, Lord of the Way, bringing you that which are the blessings of the Father and the Son in the glory of the redemption of souls. We are through with this reading at this time.
