Scripture Reading: First Letter to the Christians at Corinth, from the J. B. Phillips New Testament in Modern English.

May you be blessed, beloveds. We have been with you throughout. We had fused with the channel but desired that she continue consciously, as we so many times would like that this be cultivated more and more. The Spirit speaks through the channel in her conscious state. This should be heeded more often, for there is much to be given, and the aim is to reach that conscious attunement as she does. But for many that have not yet joined with nor recognized it, then we come as long as they need us to come in this manner. But do not always look for trance state. This is an expedient measure for those that have not yet recognized as they come together that the souls step forth and manifest.

We have been leading our channel into that manifestation, and many, many, are the talks the spirit has brought through her soul in her conscious state, so watch for this more and do not be deceived into thinking that it is necessary to have a trance state. It can be either one and God's truth comes through. It is the spirit that brings forth the fruits. All personalities step aside that the spirit of God manifest through souls designed for that manifestation. We all serve at His command. As the guardians walk beside you and minister unto you in obedience to that commission, your soul begins to stand in strength. You can know this as you feel yourself at what you might call your highest consciousness. It is the soul then taking dominion. And there must be more and more practice of this so that not only do you recognize when our channel is manifesting in this way, but when you do; for each one in his turn will step forth a living soul manifesting as such and will learn to use the physical body. z

So far, the human nature has been manifesting and using your body. No wonder there was so much disease and so much imbalance in it. Cultivate the recognition, the presence of God in you, the presence of the Spirit that is with you. Then the soul moves in faith, increases in strength, and steps forth when called by the Master, manifesting as a soul in the temple of the physical body. Then you will find the synchronizing and alignment all moving into balance, as well as a chemical balancing. All this is changing within you now because you have been, as you would say, half and half. Your aims were in that direction, but you have not believed enough that you were spirit. When you get the belief into your mind, let it sink deep into the soul. Let that connection and that soul memory come forth, Then know that You Are, and act as though you remembered it. It is your destiny.

When you begin to make contact consciously and you know that the soul is functioning in you, then let it speak; let it pray. It is living in the holy temple of you, desiring to come forth in its divine nature. But when the human nature was taking over, there was not room for the divine nature to take over. It had to be by your free will consent and choice.

Just as surely as you say, "Yes, I will take that assignment," say "Yes, I choose," and command in the name of the Christ who made it so, that the soul take over and manifest in the body, its temple. Take command. Then the faith shall be increased. Then you shall know that it has more power than the human nature and act as though you know it. This takes practice, or you will slide back into the dream.

Consciously and alertly remember and be aware of the soul of you which is the I AM that would pray unto God--the I AM desiring. And the prayer really is the sincere desire of the soul to be in union with that from which it has apparently been separated. It was sent forth; it was projected for the magnification of the Spirit. The forgetfulness was the barrier. If one could drug you until you forgot who your family was and where your home was, you would wander and stray with no purpose, no ambition, no goal, no desire to see anyone. And think of the joy when the drug would wear off. Your memory would return. "Oh, where is my loved one? I must go." The desire immediately draws you together, but not until you remember. Then you choose according to your desire. But you cannot even choose if you do not remember.

God brings remembrance unto all. You are gradually remembering. You are realizing your identity. You are not quite believing it all the way. You want to believe it; but there must be the connecting link between the soul awareness and the outer consciousness, and that breakthrough makes them as one. Your faith shall make you whole; your faith shall bring back the memories. Do not be impatient and expect it the same hour. Two thousand years ago Jesus told the disciples that the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand and commissioned Paul to speak to these, as was read by the channel. While you are waiting for the return of the Lord for whom you watched for two thousand years, be patient. Be faithful whether it be two thousand years, thirty years, or ten years. It is far less now than two thousand years.

Thus, before the cataclysms that shall bring panic to many and death to many--at which time you cannot be in silence--the mercies of God have given you this time now; not only these three weeks, but whatever time there is. And not even angels in heaven know the exact moment of that breakthrough. It has been given that a millennium will begin by the year 2000 or 2001--in that early time. But the divine intervention has already begun. It will not come in visible mass until a crucial moment, but that is the meaning of the ships in your sky. The warring is still going on between Lucifer and his hosts and the hosts sent by the Lord of Earth. There are those protecting and counteracting much of the damage of Earth, and helping the faithful remnant to prepare in this time.

It is not a coasting time; neither is it one in which one must run hither and yon and be actively busy in the physical sense. It is a time to get busy inside of you. Prepare inside of you. Do not stock up all your money, all your food, and look for a safe corner. Turn within where the only refuge is--the solid rock upon which you shall stand, the realization, and the practice of this realization. The Christ is one with the Father. Jesus overcame the earth and shall lead each and all that move in this Christ body. The Christ in you must be brought forth before the cataclysms. Do not wait for earthquakes and tidal waves and then say, "Lord, prepare me." This is the time of the preparation within. Of course, much has gone before, but the greater is now--not only the cleansing, the purifying, and the asking for greater faith, but the asking for the remembrance. Now you are at least hoping and praying that you have the balance to take it. Seek equilibrium, inner poise, and balance in all things that you may be able to balance that which the Lord shall reveal unto you, and not be pushed out of balance by opening to more than you can handle.

Constantly pray for discernment; separate true from false, Don't get worried and intense about it. Pray without ceasing for discernment of the Lord in you. It isn't far off in the heavens, It's in you, but you haven't made contact with it; Go in simplicity as a little child, in humility, in thanksgiving, and in confidence that God has always provided. You need it now more than you need anything. Show discernment and faith, and God shall move.

Pray that the divine nature of you manifests. Visualize the holy temple that you are, Be reverent with itj cleanse it, clothe it appropriately, do not abuse it or misuse it; feed it sensibly and in balance. The prayer for discernment will help you to know this. You are coming up out of the animal world; you are coming up out of the mental world, the psychic world. Your divine nature of being is in the holy temple--the physical body that shall be made new and glorified by the Father. You are preparing to receive from the Almighty Creator of all a new commission according to your dedication--new power; that is, new to yous. Are you capable of handling it, or will you go overboard with it, will you use ulterior motives? For you can quickly get something you want. These are the questions with which you search your soul; no one else's. And, as we have given before in many of the parallels, put out the money-changers in the lobby of the temple of you; the thoughts, the images, the sly things that might come in and rob you of your soul destiny. Lucifer will throw in a few. You are really in his attention now, for you are closer to your Lord. When you are completely one with your Lord he can not touch you nor come near, but while you are on the way, he shall trip you up at every turn if it be possible, It is his kingdom, and with workers and believers such as you, he shall lose his kingdom. So you have certainly become his enemye Be on guard and alert that you be not deceived of these things.

And there again is needed the prayer for discernment. You do not need to ask "How can we know the difference?" You were told two thousand years ago, "Above all else, pray for discernment." If you had been doing it for two thousand years you would have it by now. But you can do it every hour now. You can also say that most potent prayer, "Lord, I believe. Help thou my unbelief." You believe in the mind but you have not made the complete connection that the belief is absolute in the being. If the conscious is believing and the unconscious is not believing or vice versa, it is not complete balance of knowing. There again your aim must be to be the son united with the Father in you. If it were not possible, Jesus would not have preached and given it unto you. It is possible, it is necessary, it is probable as far as you have gone now, and it will be so if you desire it with all your heart.

You shall not make it, You cannot force the connection. But you can get rid of your self-centeredness so that God can fill you and be the connection. And we do not mean it in a critical sense. We know that you have gone far in this direction, but as long as you are human in the third dimension, there is a portion of self-centeredness in all. As you come into alignment with the Father's will for perfect balance of all the creative forces of life, then you shall move in that as the tide. You shall be made whole in body, mind, and soul, synchronized in one power, one purpose, one mind--God-mind in each. Then you shall know what the other is aware of, Then you shall not be ashamed, nor hide, nor not want one to mow what you are thinking, for then you shall all be moving in God-mind, with pure motives, pure thoughts, and selflessness,

All things within you would be safe if you were completely selfless, but self would rob you of your divine heritage if you allowed it. That self is dying out by your consent, but its death struggles and it's dying grasp could cause you to tumble if you were not aware of it. The self in you that is

not completely crucified nor put down, nor moved out, is on its way. Thus it Fs would strike back; it would reach out; it would deceive you if possible, because it is born of Lucifer. The divine nature born of God is the selfless nature, and your consciousness, seeing both, seeing the results of both, and having free will choice, must be determined and deliberate in its choice.

Thus is there the necessity for balance in individuals and for those who have been taught to make decisions. One indecision shall be unsafe. One, firm and strong in decision, will ride it out to the end and glorify the Father's house, which is the combined unit of all those that have moved forward, manifesting as divine nature on Earth. And, of course, the very deceit within you will come up in another way that would be more appealing to you. You would not be tempted by some thought rising up to do harm, or to rob. You have no desire for that. But this little deception could fool you: "Who am I to think that I am anything divine, I'm not much." This weakens your faith and your confidence. Of course, the self should not stand up and boast, and the human ego should not be strengthened, but through the prayer of discernment, you will know the difference.

In a quiet humility you consciously can know that the power of Almighty God is in you. If He sent part of Himself into that temple, how can it be otherwise? You would dishonor the Father to say there was nothing. You of yourself, as the human born of Lucifer, are nothing. Therefore pay no attention to the personality as such; the divine individuality is your heritage. You are an individual, different from any other soul and yet of the same mind, the same power, and the same Godenature. This one can stand up in confidence. It will not boast; it will not be vain; it is a selfless but individual divinity, eternal and in conscious awareness. Step into that role, for that is your permanent one. Leave behind the self-centered nature; deliberately put it aside; crucify it by starving it out. Do not feed the vanity; do not feed the egos do not feed the self-centered self, Let the soul be fed in all its righteousness, for the God within is the righteousness.

The soul has gone through what you might think of as a convalescent period--a strengthening, a revitalizing, and a renewing. God's mercy provided ministering angels to do this for you even before you knew consciously that it was being done. Where do you think you spend your nights? It is only the body that occupies the bed. You see how meaningful a prayer at bedtime can be, and how meaningful a prayer upon awakening can be? You are entering it again. Beware when you awaken, And yet, as you are fed and strengthened, you can bring more and more of the soul into dominion, with the divine nature manifesting. Know that you have the divine nature within. The eternal you is divine nature. The temporary--that part that shall die--is human nature. Choose, and be confident in your choice, and practice letting the soul manifest.

In quietness comes an inner strength. Let the heart rejoice; let it be filled with love of God, love for God, because God first loved you and allowed that love to be available. In that, the holy temple smiles and is kind to its neighbor; it could not be harmful nor harsh. So you do not have to force yourself to smile. Desire God and God smiles through you. The eyes take on a new light as the windows of the soul, ‘The fruits shall show. As you arise in the morning, look up at the sky, look up at the trees, listen to the birds, and let your heart sing. You are one in God's creation with the birds--with nature. You take on a new perspective. As you look at the leaf on the tree, look at it through the eyes of God who created it with love, and with thanksgiving and compassion when you see a blight that shall be eliminated as the manifestation of Spirit is over the Earth.

Be fruitful; let tne divine nature manifest through you more and more and more. Everything will take on a new look, a new perspective. Colors will be more colorful and sharper. All things will look more beautiful because you will be looking through in spirit with your consciousness lifted. You remind yourself to go up, Lift that consciousness, look up to the heavens and the skies, and go up with it within. With enough practice of this, one day the entire temple shall go up with it. You are being conditioned, just as Surely as the astronauts are conditioned before they go into orbit. You do not have to read the book of instructions for that. You read the book of instructions on how to turn yourself over unto the God who created you. Release yourself; release all and the Father shall doeth the works through youe i These are the simple truths that are so simple the majority walk right over them. They believe that: to be busy about their Father's business is to be on every committee they are asked to be on, to record things, to be very important, and to constantly be active and have everyone thinking they are doing a fine job. This applies even to those who would be healers, as they call it. No man is a healer. God is the healer. But even those that would desire to be used of God for this purpose--it is not to be their doing. Sit in patience; wait upon the Lord and be active within.

You have an entire kingdom within you; it.is going through an upheaval, a change, a coming into balance. You make connection within that inner life with God the Father. You hold your cup to be filled that the soul be fed in the inner life within. It is the one that comes in love whose cup is filled. Even as Benjamin coming unto Joseph; Joseph was an incarnation of the Christ. He had the coat of many colors, the auric field of many colors, until he became the pure white light of the Christ, with all colors lost in one, and with self lost in selfless manifestation, And the association of Joseph with Benjamin--the young son born of love, filled with love, with no resentment nor hatred as the brothers had for Joseph--was a perfect union of souls without resentment, judgement, or hatred. And the cup was filled and sent to the Father. But he could not fill the cup with the food of life or the grains of life, for those that yet had hatred in their hearts, or jealousy, or guilt--all these things that they had lived, experienced, and brought on themselves.

So it is today. The cup runneth over for those who love their Lord, for love is God in action. God first loved you that you be love. You return that love unto the Father by loving the Father, by loving the Elder Brother who went before you and became the way-shower and went through the difficult ways for the most positive proof that could ever be. He put down himself that he be ressurrected and live with the eternal self before your eyes. And that principle or law within, of the union of the begotten son with the Father, was handed to you. You were commissioned to follow through and do likewise, which is the greatest lesson of your life. This can be accomplished if you follow the example of Jesus who became Christed because he saw the law with the Father and accepted it and came into alignment with it. Then he was raised up that he could also raise you up into his consciousness as you identified with him, and as you opened your heart in love and thanksgiving.

You do not have to build a ladder, but open in love and walk up the ladder. You do not have to know the distance. You do not have to have the myriad of questions that the curiosity of the human mind could offer. One, without ever asking a question, or without ever reading a book, in simplicity and within, can love their God, and love, and love, and love, and be lifted up. You may be reassured that you are part of the Kingdom; but He can use you more

effectively when he has perfected the being. He brings the being closer toward that perfected state or finished product that the seed was sent forth to be when you are out of the way. The most likely times are when you are as~ leep, when you are unconscious, or when you have deliberately chosen to be quiet, be still and love your God. It is more powerful than all the words.

Be thankful that you, the son, have the connection with the Fath-ere Be still and He will do the works through you. Be still and you will know more and more often. Feel the power of the Presence in and around you and give thanks for it and rejoice for it. Do not think in terms of just having a psychic experience. God is with you. You are made in His nature. It must come to the finished product. And He will do it when you are out of the way in your busy, busy human nature. If you have affairs to bring into order, certain obligations, of course you must finish until the time when eae longer need them, But you can hurry to finish so that you can then be still.

One day will come the time when you will no longer need to pick it up again. You will have an immortal vacation from humanity, leaving the mortal behind as well as the human nature and the false creation that Lucifer brought forth in a dream in projection, according to his motives. Of course, this brought the twist and distortion over all that God had created. God created, but Lucifer produced chaos through deception, and you became the vice tim of the chaos. Rejoice in the day that you will not have to return to the chaos, but will establish order out of it. This is progress, not what man has called progress.

Nothing is wasted. Atoms of energy in chaotic knots are turned into God's glory by re-establishing order. You learn to control the atoms of divine energy and all the molecular motion that is taking place. You bring the atoms into order and convert them into other purposes so there not be atoms at random nor brought together as you would find entanglement, but smoothed oute Peace upon the waters. Be still and know. To know is to realize and be in contact with God-power from the beginning of creation to the reforming, the converting, the transforming action into the perfected state of His plan--moving in line as the tide.

The law of knowing is the law with the wisdom and the intelligence of God in you; knowing the right timing, knowing when and where and how, without struggle; quietly knowing, bringing all into order, and governing it in justice and love and mercy and wisdom, with God's intelligence in action through you. It is only the human that has to ask "How do I find out?" Obey; commune within until the connection is complete, with the Father and the son in perfect alignment, because the son has released his own desires. He has stopped holding on to anything that would hold him to the self-centered nature, and then God moves through in perfect serenity.

But man has tried to bring it about by his own struggles, when he consciously claimed this decision. You can keep yourself in line by learn< ing to control what you do, but you can not force. The God-power there is released in you when you step out of the way in the humaness. You do not have to beg God to do something, but rather be direct in your command to yourself that you get out of the way; be still. God already knows. His knowing will move through you. The desire of your hearts is for this. You are being lifted up into it. It will be accomplished, but you may grow weary while it is happen-ing because you vacillate back and forth, and because you have not yet taken authority completely in the soul of you. Take authority; desire to live only in the Christ consciousness in everything you do about your daily affairs--when

you speak to one another, when you walk, when you accomplish some project.

We certainly are aware that it is difficult when you go among those of the world who have no concern for the kingdom coming. When they.do not have concern for the kingdom coming in, they will of necessity be ruled out, for it is those that choose to manifest as this in God's Kingdom that He will use. All have: had the opportunity of knowing at one time or another of this choice, and they make the choice. But the promptings in yous-even as you were small, or even as you would begin to read, or be drawn toward someones-feel something that you now tie in as part of this, God in His mercy was drawing you up into remembrance,

Pray for more remembrance. It will come as you identify with the early Christians, from the time Jesus spoke to them to the time the apostles spoke to them--spoke to you, Put yourself in that place, for you were there. The early Christians are still the same Christians, having travelled a long journey. You have been promised the arrival, You have been promised that the Lord is your shepherd and will not leave you until you have entered in. He went in his greater power that he could assist you throughout this time, but he promised to return in the form that he left. And as your soul is cleansed more and more, the holy temple--the body--shall be cleansed and all brought into balance.

Therefore you must keép your wits about you as you go through these last days so that you avoid deception from the psychic side, from the world side, and from that self in you that would be glad to deceive you. These keep you alert. And watchs govern your thoughts, learn to control your habits, your eating, and all that you do. Take control and do what you believe to be wisest and ask that God give you the strength to do it. Be careful that you are not influenced too much by others. Now, this is difficult because many fine souls in this day are spreading a good influence and lifting--and, of course, these you join in with; but there are others that have gotten out of balance, gone off on a tangent, taking only a part of that which is good and building around it instead of using it as a part of the whole, just as the churches have come under much of man's organization and creed and doctrine and rules, Watch for these. Man has divided more and more; so have many of these groups of this day--the "New Age" as they have been called, Many are waiting for a change; some on a physical level, some on a psychic level, and some on a soul level,

The cosmic level is drawing the soul up into the very beauties of the heavenly state, and those that have, as you would call it in your ver-- nacular, gone overboard in certain areas, become fanatical. This is not as it was meant to be, but one can learn, experience, and acquire a certain amount of balance anyway, and with that prayer of discernment, know when to speak out, when to be quiet, whom to speak to, and to speak only on those things which would avoid .a great deal of confusion. Many rush out, wanting to have experiences like their neighbors. They are thrilled over the sensations or psychic phenomena they hear about. They want to see, they want to have, want to experience. Self, self, self,

The heart, of course, can desire to open up and see whatever God would reveal, but there again is the testing of the motives. Why? What are they looking for? One person shouldn't judge another, but each one should ask himself what the motive is behind it. Is it the seeking of pleasure, the seek-ing of excitement? There are many that love to follow the fire; it is exciting. There are others that stay home and pray without the excitement. The same is true of appearances of loved ones from the other side, or of watching celestial

ships in the sky. Of course, there could be much joy in an experience for the first time, when one's heart is in the right place and when the motives 7 are right, but all these must be watched for, 4 The assimilation of these truths is far more important than reading books on occult laws, having all kinds of experiences without the time to find the balance to handle them, or indulging in all these things of the world that would take so much of one's time. Begin to cut out many things that are not essential, Many times before, mankind could not stand to be still or to be quiet. He would either become very nervous or he would be afraid. He could not face himself. He was running from himself constantly; therefore; he had to keep busy at something. Or, for those that became idle if they were not careful, Lucifer would indeed move in and give them plenty of thoughts, imagination and temptations to act upon--mischief brought about through idle minds,

But there is such a difference in being still and knowing God. Be still so that the knowing would come through you and that God would be an awareness in your consciousness. The God-awareness will lift you up, enable you to do all things. For, during the time that you have to think of business or of a position you fill, God is there with you; you cannot run away from Him. You cannot run away from self either. The one--the old self--you can put down finally by choice and deliberate intent. Painful? You do not like it, possibly, for it might mean that some of your habits might have to go with it, including a few things that you would rather not give up. So which is most important in your life? Would you rather crucify the self, experience the uncomfortable feeling, and have God eternal, or would you rather pamper the self and bargain with God?

God will give you strength to put aside once you have made up your mind. It is the indecision that shall break you, not the giving up. And so with this intent, with this decision and choice, pray that the Lord rise up within you to meet all things. And He is with you; the son is one with the Father. Keep telling yourself this that it become the reality that it is. When you are in your job, God is present at that point. When the soul takes dominion, you can perform at your task better than ever. You do not take away from it, you add to it. You become a better man, a better woman, a better accomplishment by knowing of God's presence. When you know it you have brought it into the outer. When you realize it, desire it, and give thanks for it, you have, in conscious awareness, manifested God at that focal point where you stand. If you refuse to believe it or do not ever remember it, God is there in one sense; but He is not manifesting until you consciously open the door.

The breakthrough is there; through your eyes, through your voice, through your hands, through your being. The soul is taking dominion and God is manifesting at that point because the son, one with the Father, stands at that point. Remember this in all humility. It is holy ground where you stand when you remember the presence of God in yous indeed that will be humbling to one, it will not make him boastful. Step aside in that one of you that is nothing, and know that the other, the greater self, is that impersonal life of being and is all the individuality needed, without the human personality, Man hes fostered and fed hat for too long. Thus the results shall show; the fruits shall remain wherever -God stands.

God sent you forth in His image, His potential, and His power of spirit, light, love, and energy, that could be used either to glorify Him, to build up your human self, or to destroy, It is your bank account; you may do

what you will with it. What remains will show. He entrusted you with it,. then breathed the breath of life iu ‘you and you became a living soul, now in

“ee the Holy Temple of the physical body--the soul-carrier for the Divine Spirit within it. The holy of holies, the inner sanctuary there that has been as the old Jewish temple and synagogue, was an example or parallel of that symbolically. Be careful what goes out from it, because you project and send forth that which you are, that which is manifesting.

If the dragon--the Lucifer nature--is taking over behind the Scenes, then it shall spew fire, detrimental energies, and detrimental thoughts 3 and you shall be deceived by it, not knowing it. If the soul is manifesting in its Christ nature, through the windows, through the eyes, through the mouth, and through the solar plexis, go forth in light and love, with the soul manifesting on Earth even if for a few moments, Israel is "God with us"; you are a part of the vast number of the children of Israel dispersed over the 1a is. God is with you; God is in you. The Adamic race was created in that manner. Do not question God; accept it, give thanks, and unite with Him in that inner life. Let the faith increase, and the confidence be strong, that it shall not be in vain. He shall accomplish that which He began,

Bless you. Bless that which is going forth through you, for it is of God. Be on guard as you think and speak and act. Keep your consciousness high at all times--particularly while you are here at this retreat. This is a concentration of power and light and energies and love, and of souls coming together in that spirit to cultivate this blending, this fusion. Love thy neighbor as thyself, If the divine self is there, you will love your neighbor accordingly and see the divine self in the neighbor, God shall work through, strengthening and lifting. The Father doeth the works through each { son, each one. Blessed be the tie that binds the hearts of love together, uniting minds of one purpose, one mind--God's mind, not mortal mind. So let

@ the mind be one with the God-mind in you and the God-love in you. Let the E purpose be to gather together silently before God, and whatever is brought through in His wisdom is directed by the Father.

We do not plan; we wait and then act as we are commanded or shown. Our channel does not plan, but waits, and when the prompting comes, she recognizes it and moves forward. Thus, as you learn to do this in your lives, it will be for all things. Peace be with you. Move into that perfect alignment which shall be yours sooner or later. You shall feel at ease and release all your plans and let the Father direct your ways. Then, when one with His will, you shall feel peace, ease, stillness. And in that stillness you gather strength that you meet the storms of the day when they come, or the storms of life as you go out among others, See that protection around you, that insulation. God is love. The Christ is one with the Father. That within you is the Christ-light of you extending forth, and the love and the light of the Christ shall be your fortress, your insulation. This will not keep things from being thrown in your path, but remember that light with which you surround yourself, It comes from the God-center of you.

Peace abide within. May the healing light restore you to full+ ness. Get the rest that you can here at this beautiful place; relax physically; release all from the mind, desire that only God's love and light surround you and that you be used of Him, Then trust; He is with you. Selah.

So be it. No matter which one delivers the message, we are all attuned together, one with the other and with you. Each one pours forth, ad» ministering unto each one of you. May His peace come into your realization;

it is with you; be one with it. Blessings. As the power builds BP Figen comy by day, God shall bring forth the fruits in the souls of His own.
