Читать книгу Jesus As a Pattern - Edgar Cayce - Страница 12

True, an individual, a soul, must become less and less of self—or thoughts of self; yet when those activities of others in relationships to the mental, the spiritual, the soul developments, are such that the own soul development an own soul expression becomes in jeopardy, then—as He hath given, “I came not to bring peace but a sword. I came to give peace, not as the world counts peace,” but as that which makes for those experiences wherein the soul, the entity, is to fulfill those purposes, those activities, for which it—the soul-entity—came into being.

And when those relationships about same have been and are such that those conditions arise wherein there is the lack of harmonious effects that are possible, then as He hath given, put at naught those experiences, those influences. Let them be rather as they were not.

If there arises in the experience of self that which would become continuous as those upon which the entity would look back, in which the entity would think and think and worry, then continue—for the end is not yet.

But when there have been all of those experiences, all of those attempts, and there is still naught, then the jeopardy of self, of self-expression, of self-activity, as related with Creative Forces becomes as He hath given a division.

In the physical forces of the body there needs be rest, there needs be relief from physical, mental anxieties. For these continue in the present to make for that influence wherein the very vitality, the very life existence is being put into that position of where there is the rebellion between the spiritual, the mental, the material and the mental; and these make for such physical anxieties between the material forces and the soul forces that they rebel one with another.

Hence there come those injunctions as of old, “There is today set before thee good and evil, life and death—choose thou.”

For He, thy example, thy mediator—yea, thy mentor is life, the father of life, the giver of peace, the giver of harmony.

These then are as conditions in all the relationships, in the home, in the associations, in the domestic relations, in the activities. Whatever thy choice is, let these be ever with an eye single to service to that living influence of being a better, a greater channel of blessings to someone.

Not of self-choosing an easier way; not of self attempting to escape that as is necessary for thine own understanding, thine own soul development; but rather ever, “Thy will, O Lord, be done in and through me—Use me as Thou seest I have need of, that I may be a living example of thy love, of thy guidance in this material experience.”
