Читать книгу Jesus As a Pattern - Edgar Cayce - Страница 14

(Q) Am I justified in my dislike for the woman who upsets me so much?

(A) Justified by what? “As ye do it unto those, my children, ye do it unto me.”

There should be more love, more loving indifference shown by self, in respect to the individual. For ye have much to meet together. Let Him—let Him direct thy justifying. “I will repay saith the Lord.”

Then, art thou justified? Stand rather justified before Him, in thy dealings, in thy judgements, in thy activities.

For to think, to act, as if thou art lord or master is to belittle and degrade thine better self.

(Q) Has she any real reason for talking and acting the way she does?

(A) These arise from experiences where associations have made for the abilities of the self being such that the lauding by others has brought torments to the other. Hence be patient; be loving with those that would do thee harm. It is but pouring coals of fire upon their heads, and will bring to thee the greater satisfaction.

For if thou dost conduct thyself, thy thoughts, thy acts, so that the Lord be on thy side, who can be against thee?

Act the more often, then, that though they make for discourteous, unkind remarks, the Lord loveth rather him that can speak gently to those that would do thee harm.

(Q) Will she aid or interfere with my future happiness?

(A) Dependent upon the manner in which the self meets those experiences. Turn—turn the other cheek, when thy enemy, thy friend, would smite thee. Let the Lord have His way, and ye will find it will turn to a helpfulness in the experience.
