Step forward with care toward your goal. If one proceeds respectfully when one is near danger, behaving decorously, achievement is possible. Here is a time for discriminating between things, classifying most and least importants. But in so doing, be careful not to seem prejudicial.

These, then, are the conditions as are to be met, that there may be brought discernment in the mental, that it, the mental, may build in the physical conditions that to which the body, through same, may attain. O that men and women would learn to discern the manifestations of the Lord, as He in His goodness gives to men that which will—would they but bring it to the gift of man—bring the discerning of the light, the life, and the love as may be manifested among the Sons of men! 2241-1 In the application of self, this entity has gained the ability of discernment, and in the way of using the little in hand to gain the greater understanding of the whole. 115-1 Keep the faith. Walk in the light. Let no darkness be in thee at all. For He is the light, the truth and the way, and He is willing—if thou wilt but walk with Him. 792-1 (Q) Please advise [257] as you did years ago in the Albert Pick-Federal matter, what he should do step by step to again be successful in this field. (A) As given and outlined here, and given again: First take all those situations that confront the body from every angle, and after analyzing them, comparing self and self’s abilities, self’s qualifications, the qualifications, the tactics and the policies of those with whom the body would associate, and who would be the better. Then work and pay that necessary in effort, time, endeavor, to make the connections in such a manner as to meet every situation. 257-138 In the application does the knowledge come of what is to be accomplished by self, in the step by step, line by line, that others may know of that promise that is to each individual that may be one with Him. Be not unmindful that those met in the way are seekers also, and are the Israel of the Lord. 262-30 (Q) How should we present it to one who has lost faith in Creative Force? (A) . . . Be not overcome with those things that make for discouragements, for He will supply the strength. Lean upon the arm of the Divine within thee, giving not place to thoughts of vengeance or discouragements. Give not vent to those things that create prejudice. And, most of all, be unselfish! For selfishness is sin, before first thine self, then thine neighbor and thy God. Love ye one another. Give as ye have received. 254-87 | |
