with all its attributes, with the mental and material and physical desires and emotions; the mental with its hopes and fears, its aspirations and desires; the spiritual with its longings, its wonderments, its interpreting of the emotions of physical and mental being.

      These, then, in the light of all that has been indicated, should be analyzed, and then the premise from which the ideal is to be drawn; and how same works with the entity as an entity.

      It has already been indicated in the information given that the entity has abilities in certain directions, partaking of the mental and spiritual or soul forces; as well as much to be met in the physical emotions.

      Mind is the builder; it is both spiritual and physical, and thus has its aspirations, its limitations, its fears, its hopes, its desires.

      To determine, then, whether the emotions or influences which arise from one experience to another are from purely a mental aspiration of a physical desire, or from a spiritual aspect and hope in its relationships to the things desired of self, comparisons need to be drawn for the entity as to how, and in what manner judgments or choices are to be made.

      The body finds itself Body, Mind, Soul; just as seen in that after which it is patterned—Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

      In the choices, then, it is seen that each of these phases of spiritual experience finds its own place of activity, as illustrated in the entity's experience in materiality.

      The spirit moved—or soul moved—and there was Light (Mind). The Light became the light of men—Mind made aware of conscious existence in spiritual aspects or relationships as one to another.

      The mind in the entity becomes aware of longings, innate in the inner self; also the arousing of emotions in the physical attributes of the body—just as indicated as to how these came into being; as self is a part of Creative Forces or God, Spirit, the Son. These are one. The body, mind and soul are one. Their desires must be one; their purposes, their aims must be one—then—to be ideal.

      What, then, has this to do with the entity in its seeking for the use of its own abilities in the psychic, the mental, the material atmosphere in which it finds itself in the present?

      There are laws, then, as govern the physical, the mental, the spiritual body, and the attributes of each of these. The abuse of a physical law brings dis-ease and then disturbance to the physical organism, through which mental and spiritual portions of the body operate.

      There are also promises, warnings, and governing forces, as has been indicated, for the physical and the mental and spiritual being—as given by those forces and influences which manifest in the material world as respecting each of these.

      As the Mind indicated, “I and the Father are one; he that abideth in me as I abide in the Father hath eternal life.” Not will have, not may have, but hath—now—is in eternal consciousness of being at a onement with eternal influence and force!

      And this is the moving of the spirit that has brought and does bring life, light, to the consciousness of the entity in whatever phase of experience it may be passing.

      Then how, in what manner, does one accomplish such? Not by thoughts of self. If God had not given free will to man, or the children of men, would they have been able to be equal with Him? Rather would they be as the natural sources of the universal consciousness of group vibration—as is indicated about the entity.

      “Be not deceived,” then, it was given, “God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that must he also reap.”

      Then, not merely by doing does the awareness come, but by being in the doing does the awareness come of the relationships as one portion of body, mind and soul finds.

      These then grow, as indicated, as do individuals. This entity as an entity grows in grace, in knowledge, in understanding.

      As was indicated, the body was first a cell by the union of desire that brought activity in that influence about which the growth began.

      Then of itself at birth into materiality the consciousness gradually awoke to the influences about same of body, mind and soul, until it reached the consciousness of the ability for the reproduction within itself of desire, hope, fear.

      And the whole of creation, then, is bound in the consciousness of self. That influence, that force is the psychic self.

      As to how same, then, may be developed within self:

      Each entity enters materiality for a purpose. That all the experiences in the earth are as one is indicated by the desires, the longings as arise within the experience of that which makes for the growing, the knowing within self—mind! Thus does the entity, as a whole, become aware that it, itself, in body, mind and soul, is the result—each day—of the application of laws pertaining to creation, this evolution, this soul-awareness within, consciously manifested.

      What is the purpose of entering consciousness? That each phase of body, mind and soul may be to the glory of that Creative Force in which it moves and has its being.

      And when this influence, this growing self becomes such, or so self-centered, as to lose sight of that desire, purpose, aim to be to the glory of its source, and seeks rather for self, then it errs in its application of the influences within its abilities for the application of mind within its own experience.

      Thus we find this entity capable of arousing others, or of becoming the incentive to and the motivative force of many—in and through its application of itself in the material world; as a worshipful experience to that something within the entity itself which magnifies—by the reflections—the awareness of the attributes of body, mind and soul in the experiences of others.

      Hence the great intuitive forces, the abilities to raise the vibratory influence within the lives and the experiences of others through the use or the application of those abilities within their own selves—these become a part of the entity's experience; mentally first, and it grows either to that of materiality, material desire, or to those influences that are creative, constructive, spiritual in their nature.

      Those things then as may be aroused by the self, by this entity, within the experiences of those it meets—either in close association or in casual meeting—may either create something that is material (which means only temporal), or something that is spiritual, that is eternal.

      Then, as has been said: There is before thee this day life and death, good and evil. These are the ever present warring influences within materiality.

      What then, ye ask, is this entity to do about, to do with, this ability of its own spiritual or psychic development; that may be made creative or may bring creative or destructive forces within the experiences of others?

      “My Spirit beareth witness with thy spirit as to whether ye be the children of God or not.” This becomes, then, that force, that influence for comparisons; as the entity meditates upon its own emotions, its own influences, these become very apparent within itself for comparisons.

      Do they bespeak of kindness, gentleness, patience—that threshold upon which godliness appears?

      Desire may be godly or ungodly, dependent upon the purpose, the aim, the emotions aroused.

      Does it bring, then, self-abstinence? or does it bring self-desire?

      Does it bring love? Does it bring longsuffering? Is it gentle? Is it kind?

      Then, these be the judgments upon which the entity uses those influences upon the lives of others.

      Does it relieve suffering, as the abilities of the entity grow? Does it relieve the mental anguish, the mental disturbances which arise? Does it bring also healing—of body, of mind, to the individual? Is it healed for constructive force, or for that as will bring pain, sorrow, hate and fear into the experience of others?

      These be the judgments upon which the entity makes its choices, as it guides, directs or gives counsel to those who are seeking—seeking—What? That Light—which has become,
