For each entity, each soul, is his brother’s keeper! 189-3

In understanding, does strength, power and might come.

Take this and keep it with thee in thy heart, and in thine mind always. With power of money, with position, and wealth, comes greater responsibility. But ye know in whom ye believed, and He is able to keep you against that day. 137-125

Man’s answer to everything has been power—power of money, power of position, power of wealth, power of this, that or the other. This has never been God’s way, will never be God’s way. Rather little by little, line upon line, here a little, there a little, each thinking rather of the other fellow, as that that has kept the world in the various ways of being intact—where there were ten, even, many a city, many a nation, has been kept from destruction. 3976-8

(Q) What would be the most harmonious and remunerative business for me?

(A) . . . a strong, healthy, well-balanced physical body may find, with its activities to make for same, a budgeting of its efforts in mental and physical and spiritual things . . . for with health may come wealth if it is needed in that for the spiritual development.

Would that most people would gain that knowledge that if they are attempting to live a normal life, if wealth is necessary for their soul development it is a portion of their experience! 498-1

(Q) How may the material activities and the spiritual purpose be coordinated?

(A) That in the material world is a shadow of that in the celestial or spiritual world. Then, the material manifestations of spiritual impulse or activity must be in keeping or in attune with that which has its inception in spiritual things. For, the mind of man is the builder; and if the beginning is in spiritual life, and the mental body sees, acts upon, is motivated only by the spiritual, then the physical result will be in keeping with that thou hast sown . . .

If the activities make for the exaltation of the mind, the body, or the position, power, wealth or fame, these are of the earth earthy.
