Lesson3. God, The Father, And His Manifestations In The Earth
(09:29:34) (Bill) Okay then we'll get rolling
(09:29:42) (Bill) Good evening: May the desire of my heart be such that I may become more and more aware of the spirit of the Father, through the Christ, manifesting in me. (262-57.) Amen
(09:29:51) (Cris) Amen
(09:29:56) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:29:59) (Roz) Amen
(09:30:00) (merri) Amen
(09:30:04) (torontal) aMEN
(09:30:05) (Sandy) Amen
(09:30:13) (Erodicus) Amen
(09:30:55) (Bill) Perfect Manifestation in the Earth: If we would know the love of the Father (that has been manifested through His son, who overcame sin, error, disease, and even death itself in the material plane), then let us rely on the power of His indwelling presence and have a greater knowledge, a greater understanding of the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Life, in our experience.
(09:31:23) (Bill) To accomplish this we do not have to shut ourselves away from our friends, our associates, or even our enemies. The Master never did. It is our purpose to manifest perfectly the fruits of the Spirit, this is possible through our manner of living. We should seek, therefore to know His way for us.
(09:32:01) (Bill) This cannot be achieved by denying the existence of sin or error. It is true that sin and error are not of God except through our willful disobedience. If there is in us the manifestation of greed, avarice, hate, selfishness, unkindness, ungodliness in our life, they will bring their fruit ~~ contention, strife, hate, avarice, and separateness from the light. Those who have turned their face from the light of God can see only shadows and darkness.
(09:32:51) (Bill) . Yet, if they will turn to the Father of love as manifested in the earth through the Christ, even in this life there may be seen the light and the glory of a new birth. “. . . for His mercy endureth forever.” (Ps. 118:29.)
(09:33:32) (Bill) The Father has not left His children alone, but for every temptation has prepared a way of escape. Should we be less merciful? We were in the beginning made sons of God, yet few of us act as sons.
(09:34:01) (Bill) We can understand better perfect manifestation in the earth, when we comprehend, when we realize that there is no time, no space, and that the divinity of the man Jesus was perfect in His own activity in the earth; for it (His sacrifice) was offered even from the first. (See 262-57.)
(09:34:42) (Bill) If we would be perfect manifestations then, let us be ready to forgive, even as our Master did. He did not set any moral law but that of which the soul of man was conscious. So, we may know that within dwells the spirit of God, that which quickens if we will acknowledge His power and His divine right with us.
(09:35:28) (Bill) When the Master lived among men His presence cleansed all who sought relief from physical disease, and better prepared them to manifest the fruits of the Spirit in their lives.
(09:35:50) (Bill) . He did not save their bodies from the grave or transition from one sphere to another, but He quickened their souls, and their minds to such a degree that they would cry as Joshua of old ~~ “. . . as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15.)
(09:36:21) (Bill) Throughout the experience of man in the material world, at various seasons and period, would-be teachers have come; setting up certain forms or certain theories as to manners in which individuals shall control the appetites of the body or of the mind, so as to attain to some particular phase of development.
(09:37:05) (Bill) There has also come a teacher who was bold enough to declare himself as the son of the living God. He set no rules of appetite. He set no rules of ethics, other than, “whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” (Matt. 7:12.) and to know, inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker.
(09:37:53) (Bill) . He declared that the kingdom of Heaven is within each individual, and that each through meditation upon the fact that God is the Father of all could become aware of the kingdom. Such a teacher became the Christ. Here, then, you find a friend, a brother, a companion.
(09:38:26) (Bill) . As He gave, “I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends.” (John 15:15.) For, as many as believe, to them He gives power to become the children of God, the Father; joint heirs with this Jesus, the Christ, in the knowledge and in the awareness of this presence abiding ever with those who set this ideal before them.
(09:39:07) (Bill) What, then, is this One as an ideal?
(09:39:20) (Bill) As concerning our fellowman, He taught that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us, to take no thought, to worry not, to be not over anxious about the body, for He knows what things we have need of.
(09:39:50) (Bill) . Then we should realize that in the place, in the consciousness in which we find our self today, is that which is needed for our greater, our better, and more wonderful unfoldment.
(09:40:35) (Bill) But today HEAR His voice, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28.) The Lord loveth those who put their trust WHOLLY in Him. This, then, is that attitude of mind that puts away hate, malice, anxiety, jealousy. And in their stead, since Mind is the Builder , creates the fruits of the spirit; love, patience, mercy, long-suffering, kindness, gentleness.
(09:41:19) (Bill) And against these, there is no law. They break down barriers, they bring peace and harmony, they bring the outlook upon life of not finding fault because someone “forgot”, someone’s judgment was bad, someone was selfish today. These ye can overlook, for so did He.
(09:41:53) (Bill) In His own experience with those whom He had chosen out of the world, if He had held disappointment in their leaving Him to the mercies of an indignant high priest, a determined lawyer and an unjust steward, what would have been thy hope, the promise today?
(09:42:28) (Bill) We Are Manifestations of God: Let each of us, in our meditations, in our study, in our observations of the concepts in this lesson, make applications of whatever spiritual law we become conscious of through our individual experiences.
(09:43:17) (Bill) . For, as He taught, we may call Lord, Lord, even may heal the sick, may cast our demons in His name, and yet not be accepted in His sight. The lives of those who make profession of their associations with Him must bring forth manifestations of those things that are of the spirit, of the fruits of the spirit.
(09:43:49) (Bill) . “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 7:21.)
(09:44:18) (Bill) What are the manifestations of the Father in the earth: To do good to all people, to manifest the fruits of the Spirit in our thoughts and in our acts, as we meet our fellowmen in their own conditions where troubles, doubts, fears and distresses assail them.
(09:44:47) (Bill) As we manifest the fruits of the Christ, of the Christ Consciousness, in our words, our acts, in our dwelling with others, we will, as the Christ, manifest in the earth good to all, whether they are of His fold or those who reject that which He lived and taught. In this manner the Son manifested the Father in the earth: so in Him we have an example.
(09:45:52) (Bill) As we apply those truths that we know, we will come to those experiences where we may be lamps to the feet of the wayward, an aid to those who seek, a light to those who have gone astray, a guiding hand to those who would know more and more of the love of the Father as it manifests in the acts, the thoughts, the lives of His followers.
(09:46:24) (Bill) What is our light? What is our guide? Have we tried just being kind in order to see how this law operates in the experience of our neighbor?
(09:46:42) (Bill) A smile raised hope; that hope made possible activity; that activity made a haven for some discouraged, disheartened soul.
(09:47:04) (Bill) Let us smile though the heavens fall, though we may become as naught in a world of selfishness, we may rejoice in the light of Him who has given Himself for our redemption.
(09:47:34) (Bill) “Let Him, the Christ, be the guide. Let Him build for thee the mansion, rather than with thine own puny hands where moth and rust doth corrupt and where those that unconsciously in their stumbling manners oft make the road rough for thee.
(09:48:04) (Bill) . Forgive them, if ye would be forgiven. Hold not a grudge, for that which is thine may not be taken from thee lest thou alone cast it aside by envy, strife, unkind thought, unkind acts, and thus destroy that thou lovest most ~~ life!? (262-60.)
(09:49:02) (Bill) How long has been the cry, “Hasten, O Lord, the day of thy kingdom in the earth,” of those who have manifested the glory of the Father through the Son. What are the promises that the Son has given? “I go to prepare a place for you . . . that where I am (in consciousness), there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3.)
(09:49:53) (Bill) I will come again, and receive you unto myself.” (John 14:2-3.) As we attune our mind and our body-activity into that consciousness, our desires hasten the day. While the merciful kindness of the Father has, in the eyes of many, delayed the coming, and many, as were the children of Israel, are ready to say, “Make us gods, which shall go before us.” (Ex. 32:1.)
(09:50:38) (Bill) .) In patience, in listening, in being still, may ye know that the Lord does all things well. Be not weary that He apparently prolongs His time, for, as the Master has given, as to the day no man knows, not even the Son, but the Father and they to whom the Father may reveal it. The Son prepared the way that all men may know the love of the Father in the earth.
(09:51:20) (Bill) . Into our keeping, to us His children He has committed the keeping of, the saving of the world. Then know that as our minds, as our hearts desire more and more for the glorifying of the Son in the earth, for the coming of the day of the Lord, He draws very nigh unto us.
(09:51:54) (Bill) “Keep thine heart and thine mind singing in the glory of the manifestations, of the beauty and of the glory of the Father in the earth, as thou hast seen manifest among men.” (262-59, A-6.)
(09:52:20) (Bill) “Keep in the way that thou knowest to do, for He requires not other than that ye be true to that thou knowest in thine heart to do. For He calleth those by name that have named the name of the Christ and that keep His way,s and through such may the love of the Father, through the Son be manifest in the earth.) (262-58, A-13.)
(09:53:11) (Bill) “Lead me, O Father, just for today, that I may be used as a channel of blessing, that I may today manifest Thy love through my a$$ociation with those I contact; for as I show forth Thy love in the earth to my fellowman, the promise comes to me that thou wilt guide, guard, protect and comfort me in the ways that I go.” (262-60, A-2.)
(09:53:55) (Bill) “Keep ye all in the Way. Be happy. Be joyous. And may love and mercy and peace, that cometh from the Father to those who use themselves in His service, be with thee. Amen.”
(09:54:26) (Lory) Amen
(09:54:27) (diane) Amen
(09:54:29) (Cris) Amen
(09:54:31) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:54:31) (KAZU) Amen
(09:54:44) (merri) Amen
(09:55:06) (Roz) Amen
(09:55:08) (Bill) And thats lesson #3 now we know what our task is to manifest in the earth
(09:56:18) (Lory) It has only been 2000 years since Jesus walked with us on this earth. Isn't it wonderful that God sent His Son to prepare the way that we may now the love of the Father in the earth?
(09:56:31) (Bill) i'm sure with a little practice we'll all be lights
(09:56:48) (Gordito) God wants to be loved in Spirit and Truth.
(09:56:59) (Erodicus) I Agree
(09:57:01) (Gordito) Can't do that while holding on to the lie.
(09:57:32) (merri) what lie?
(09:57:56) (Gordito) Self.
(09:58:19) (Erodicus) right
(09:58:24) (merri) self is a lie?
(09:58:40) (Gordito) It is the satan Cayce spke of.
(09:59:08) (Erodicus) no man can serve two masters
(09:59:12) (merri) couldn't disagree more!
(09:59:31) (Gordito) The pathway to hell is paved with good intentionbs it is written.
(09:59:36) (Gordito) I kinow.
(10:00:22) (merri) Keep ye all in the Way. Be happy. Be joyous. And may love and mercy and peace, that cometh from the Father to those who use themselves in His service, be with thee. Amen.?
(10:00:34) (Lory) Amen
(10:00:39) (Bill) As we manifest the fruits of the Christ, of the Christ Consciousness, in our words, our acts, in our dwelling with others, we will, as the Christ, manifest in the earth good to all, whether they are of His fold or those who reject that which He lived and taught. In this manner the Son manifested the Father in the earth: so in Him we have an example.
(10:00:41) (Medium) Amen
(10:00:44) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(10:00:46) (Roz) Amen
(10:01:03) (Gordito) When He comes again, What did He say?:
(10:01:07) (Cris) Amen
(10:02:58) (Erodicus) Only those who do the Will of the Father
(10:03:15) (Bill) If we would know the love of the Father (that has been manifested through His son, who overcame sin, error, disease, and even death itself in the material plane), then let us rely on the power of His indwelling presence and have a greater knowledge, a greater understanding of the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Life, in our experience.
(10:06:28) (Gordito) Many have sought the strait and narrow, few have found it though.
(10:06:28) (Bill) If we would be perfect manifestations then, let us be ready to forgive, even as our Master did. He did not set any moral law but that of which the soul of man was conscious. So, we may know that within dwells the spirit of God, that which quickens if we will acknowledge His power and His divine right with us.
(10:06:45) (Gordito) Yet the pathway that leads to deathg is easy to find.
(10:07:14) (Gordito) It is found through your own understanding.
(10:07:38) (Gordito) Yet that One Path that is above all others is found through His Understanding.
(10:07:48) (Lory) No soul dies. We live forever.
(10:08:00) (Gordito) Brought about though the loss of selfr in doing His Biddings not your own.
(10:08:11) (Gordito) Of course the soul lives.
(10:08:11) (Erodicus) Yes
(10:08:19) (Bill) . He set no rules of ethics, other than, “whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” (Matt. 7:12.) and to know, inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker. He declared that the kingdom of Heaven is within each individual, and that each through meditation upon the fact that God is the Father of all could become aware of the kingdom. Such a teacher became the Christ.
(10:08:21) (Gordito) This is not the death I speak of.
(10:08:35) (Gordito) It is the death that perpetuates lkife here.
(10:08:47) (Gordito) Through karma and reincanation.
(10:09:08) (Gordito) The death, of the flesh, brought about through being outside o9f His Will.
(10:10:06) (Gordito) I don't care how much you think you can coincide with His Will, it'll never bring about That which can rejuvinate a sin sick soul, revivify a sin sick body.
(10:10:42) (Erodicus) I Agree
(10:10:44) (MaryAnne) Gordito, did Cayce not give readings for a few, at least one, who would die in the flesh but not have to return here?
(10:10:50) (Gordito) And all disease is sin vbased.,
(10:10:58) (Gordito) Yes
(10:11:09) (Gordito) That too is asn option.
(10:11:17) (Gordito) Not a vey glorious noe.
(10:11:22) (Gordito) But an option.
(10:11:26) (Eileen) wonder if my name is on that list MaryAnne
(10:11:31) (Gordito) If ytou are close enough at death.
(10:11:38) (Gordito) If you have loved all.
(10:11:47) (MaryAnne) I hope we are both on it Eileen :o)
(10:11:49) (Gordito) And held nothing against no one.
(10:11:53) (Bill) As concerning our fellowman, He taught that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us, to take no thought, to worry not, to be not over anxious about the body, for He knows what things we have need of. Then we should realize that in the place, in the consciousness in which we find our self today, is that which is needed for our greater, our better, and more wonderful unfoldment.
(10:12:01) (Eileen) crossing my fingers MaryAnne
(10:12:02) (Gordito) Sure there is the back door so toi speak.
(10:12:13) (Gordito) Not muck Glory in that though.
(10:12:21) (Gordito) Not much acomplishment.
(10:12:25) (WalksInSpirit) Not all disease is sin based. Remember the Reading where Cayce said the child was blinded at birth, and when asked, Cayce said it was NOT karmic, and someone would pay for doing this to the child?
(10:12:42) (Gordito) Becoming Like Him though, well That truly is an Acomplishment.
(10:12:46) (WalksInSpirit) Wish I had the reading number at hand, but I do not.
(10:12:46) (MaryAnne) I do remember that one WIS
(10:12:50) (Gordito) Anyone can die.
(10:12:57) (Gordito) In nthe flesh.
(10:13:17) (Gordito) Takes a real believer to follow in His Footsteps.
(10:13:28) (Gordito) Laying self aside for the good of all.
(10:13:30) (Erodicus) Yes
(10:13:39) (Bill) .) The Lord loveth those who put their trust WHOLLY in Him. This, then, is that attitude of mind that puts away hate, malice, anxiety, jealousy. And in their stead, since Mind is the Builder , creates the fruits of the spirit; love, patience, mercy, long-suffering, kindness, gentleness. And against these, there is no law.
(10:13:42) (Eileen) the bible also says the He chastises those whom he loves, which can be done through illnesses
(10:14:07) (Bill) . They break down barriers, they bring peace and harmony, they bring the outlook upon life of not finding fault because someone “forgot”, someone’s judgment was bad, someone was selfish today. These ye can overlook, for so did He.
(10:14:10) (Gordito) That isa the life the Master was speaking of when He said no greater thing then to lay down your life for your friends.
(10:14:16) (Gordito) Anyone can die.
(10:14:23) (Gordito) Not mnuch i9n that./
(10:14:24) (Eileen) Bill, what do you think is meant by long-suffering?
(10:14:41) (Gordito) But how many have been Re-Born as He Was In His Will?
(10:14:44) (Gordito) Not many.
(10:16:05) (Bill) not sure how i could explain it Eileen maybe somebiody else can
(10:16:10) (Gordito) God Counts.
(10:16:19) (Gordito) Not my job.
(10:16:53) (Gordito) Bearing the pain of this life while holding on to Him.
(10:17:06) (Gordito) Read Job.
(10:18:02) (Eileen) but it is not all painful, Gordito, though that is a pretty good answer
(10:18:04) (WalksInSpirit) One can view it as an awful pain. or... "This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us R-E-J-O-I-C-E and be G-L-A-D in it!"
(10:18:06) (Erodicus) hello Andrew
(10:18:22) (Gordito) Long suffering.
(10:18:23) (Eileen) like that one too, Walks
(10:18:36) (Gordito) I did noy say it could not be done joyously.
(10:18:51) (Gordito) Jesus csuffered yet was joyful/
(10:18:54) (Eileen) no, you didn't
(10:19:26) (Gordito) We were speaking of long-suffering though.
(10:19:36) (Bill) maybe it just means bare the responsibility for where we're at at any given time and bare your cross accordingly
(10:20:06) (Eileen) sounds good Bill, good answers, thanks
(10:20:13) (Gordito) Bearing the cross is not always the long suffering.
(10:20:13) (Bill) assume the responsibility is a better term
(10:20:18) (Erodicus) jesus already did that
(10:20:23) (Gordito) Sometimes it is just being kind.
(10:20:27) (Gordito) Or getle.
(10:20:39) (Gordito) Or showing brothetrly love to all.
(09:29:42) (Bill) Good evening: May the desire of my heart be such that I may become more and more aware of the spirit of the Father, through the Christ, manifesting in me. (262-57.) Amen
(09:29:51) (Cris) Amen
(09:29:56) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:29:59) (Roz) Amen
(09:30:00) (merri) Amen

(09:30:05) (Sandy) Amen
(09:30:13) (Erodicus) Amen
(09:30:55) (Bill) Perfect Manifestation in the Earth: If we would know the love of the Father (that has been manifested through His son, who overcame sin, error, disease, and even death itself in the material plane), then let us rely on the power of His indwelling presence and have a greater knowledge, a greater understanding of the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Life, in our experience.
(09:31:23) (Bill) To accomplish this we do not have to shut ourselves away from our friends, our associates, or even our enemies. The Master never did. It is our purpose to manifest perfectly the fruits of the Spirit, this is possible through our manner of living. We should seek, therefore to know His way for us.
(09:32:01) (Bill) This cannot be achieved by denying the existence of sin or error. It is true that sin and error are not of God except through our willful disobedience. If there is in us the manifestation of greed, avarice, hate, selfishness, unkindness, ungodliness in our life, they will bring their fruit ~~ contention, strife, hate, avarice, and separateness from the light. Those who have turned their face from the light of God can see only shadows and darkness.
(09:32:51) (Bill) . Yet, if they will turn to the Father of love as manifested in the earth through the Christ, even in this life there may be seen the light and the glory of a new birth. “. . . for His mercy endureth forever.” (Ps. 118:29.)
(09:33:32) (Bill) The Father has not left His children alone, but for every temptation has prepared a way of escape. Should we be less merciful? We were in the beginning made sons of God, yet few of us act as sons.
(09:34:01) (Bill) We can understand better perfect manifestation in the earth, when we comprehend, when we realize that there is no time, no space, and that the divinity of the man Jesus was perfect in His own activity in the earth; for it (His sacrifice) was offered even from the first. (See 262-57.)

(09:35:28) (Bill) When the Master lived among men His presence cleansed all who sought relief from physical disease, and better prepared them to manifest the fruits of the Spirit in their lives.
(09:35:50) (Bill) . He did not save their bodies from the grave or transition from one sphere to another, but He quickened their souls, and their minds to such a degree that they would cry as Joshua of old ~~ “. . . as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15.)
(09:36:21) (Bill) Throughout the experience of man in the material world, at various seasons and period, would-be teachers have come; setting up certain forms or certain theories as to manners in which individuals shall control the appetites of the body or of the mind, so as to attain to some particular phase of development.
(09:37:05) (Bill) There has also come a teacher who was bold enough to declare himself as the son of the living God. He set no rules of appetite. He set no rules of ethics, other than, “whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” (Matt. 7:12.) and to know, inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker.

(09:39:07) (Bill) What, then, is this One as an ideal?
(09:39:20) (Bill) As concerning our fellowman, He taught that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us, to take no thought, to worry not, to be not over anxious about the body, for He knows what things we have need of.

(09:40:35) (Bill) But today HEAR His voice, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28.) The Lord loveth those who put their trust WHOLLY in Him. This, then, is that attitude of mind that puts away hate, malice, anxiety, jealousy. And in their stead, since Mind is the Builder , creates the fruits of the spirit; love, patience, mercy, long-suffering, kindness, gentleness.
(09:41:19) (Bill) And against these, there is no law. They break down barriers, they bring peace and harmony, they bring the outlook upon life of not finding fault because someone “forgot”, someone’s judgment was bad, someone was selfish today. These ye can overlook, for so did He.
(09:41:53) (Bill) In His own experience with those whom He had chosen out of the world, if He had held disappointment in their leaving Him to the mercies of an indignant high priest, a determined lawyer and an unjust steward, what would have been thy hope, the promise today?
(09:42:28) (Bill) We Are Manifestations of God: Let each of us, in our meditations, in our study, in our observations of the concepts in this lesson, make applications of whatever spiritual law we become conscious of through our individual experiences.
(09:43:17) (Bill) . For, as He taught, we may call Lord, Lord, even may heal the sick, may cast our demons in His name, and yet not be accepted in His sight. The lives of those who make profession of their associations with Him must bring forth manifestations of those things that are of the spirit, of the fruits of the spirit.
(09:43:49) (Bill) . “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 7:21.)
(09:44:18) (Bill) What are the manifestations of the Father in the earth: To do good to all people, to manifest the fruits of the Spirit in our thoughts and in our acts, as we meet our fellowmen in their own conditions where troubles, doubts, fears and distresses assail them.
(09:44:47) (Bill) As we manifest the fruits of the Christ, of the Christ Consciousness, in our words, our acts, in our dwelling with others, we will, as the Christ, manifest in the earth good to all, whether they are of His fold or those who reject that which He lived and taught. In this manner the Son manifested the Father in the earth: so in Him we have an example.
(09:45:52) (Bill) As we apply those truths that we know, we will come to those experiences where we may be lamps to the feet of the wayward, an aid to those who seek, a light to those who have gone astray, a guiding hand to those who would know more and more of the love of the Father as it manifests in the acts, the thoughts, the lives of His followers.
(09:46:24) (Bill) What is our light? What is our guide? Have we tried just being kind in order to see how this law operates in the experience of our neighbor?
(09:46:42) (Bill) A smile raised hope; that hope made possible activity; that activity made a haven for some discouraged, disheartened soul.
(09:47:04) (Bill) Let us smile though the heavens fall, though we may become as naught in a world of selfishness, we may rejoice in the light of Him who has given Himself for our redemption.
(09:47:34) (Bill) “Let Him, the Christ, be the guide. Let Him build for thee the mansion, rather than with thine own puny hands where moth and rust doth corrupt and where those that unconsciously in their stumbling manners oft make the road rough for thee.
(09:48:04) (Bill) . Forgive them, if ye would be forgiven. Hold not a grudge, for that which is thine may not be taken from thee lest thou alone cast it aside by envy, strife, unkind thought, unkind acts, and thus destroy that thou lovest most ~~ life!? (262-60.)
(09:49:02) (Bill) How long has been the cry, “Hasten, O Lord, the day of thy kingdom in the earth,” of those who have manifested the glory of the Father through the Son. What are the promises that the Son has given? “I go to prepare a place for you . . . that where I am (in consciousness), there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3.)
(09:49:53) (Bill) I will come again, and receive you unto myself.” (John 14:2-3.) As we attune our mind and our body-activity into that consciousness, our desires hasten the day. While the merciful kindness of the Father has, in the eyes of many, delayed the coming, and many, as were the children of Israel, are ready to say, “Make us gods, which shall go before us.” (Ex. 32:1.)
(09:50:38) (Bill) .) In patience, in listening, in being still, may ye know that the Lord does all things well. Be not weary that He apparently prolongs His time, for, as the Master has given, as to the day no man knows, not even the Son, but the Father and they to whom the Father may reveal it. The Son prepared the way that all men may know the love of the Father in the earth.
(09:51:20) (Bill) . Into our keeping, to us His children He has committed the keeping of, the saving of the world. Then know that as our minds, as our hearts desire more and more for the glorifying of the Son in the earth, for the coming of the day of the Lord, He draws very nigh unto us.
(09:51:54) (Bill) “Keep thine heart and thine mind singing in the glory of the manifestations, of the beauty and of the glory of the Father in the earth, as thou hast seen manifest among men.” (262-59, A-6.)
(09:52:20) (Bill) “Keep in the way that thou knowest to do, for He requires not other than that ye be true to that thou knowest in thine heart to do. For He calleth those by name that have named the name of the Christ and that keep His way,s and through such may the love of the Father, through the Son be manifest in the earth.) (262-58, A-13.)
(09:53:11) (Bill) “Lead me, O Father, just for today, that I may be used as a channel of blessing, that I may today manifest Thy love through my a$$ociation with those I contact; for as I show forth Thy love in the earth to my fellowman, the promise comes to me that thou wilt guide, guard, protect and comfort me in the ways that I go.” (262-60, A-2.)
(09:53:55) (Bill) “Keep ye all in the Way. Be happy. Be joyous. And may love and mercy and peace, that cometh from the Father to those who use themselves in His service, be with thee. Amen.”
(09:54:26) (Lory) Amen
(09:54:27) (diane) Amen
(09:54:29) (Cris) Amen
(09:54:31) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:54:31) (KAZU) Amen
(09:54:44) (merri) Amen
(09:55:06) (Roz) Amen
(09:55:08) (Bill) And thats lesson #3 now we know what our task is to manifest in the earth
(09:56:18) (Lory) It has only been 2000 years since Jesus walked with us on this earth. Isn't it wonderful that God sent His Son to prepare the way that we may now the love of the Father in the earth?
(09:56:31) (Bill) i'm sure with a little practice we'll all be lights
(09:56:48) (Gordito) God wants to be loved in Spirit and Truth.
(09:56:59) (Erodicus) I Agree
(09:57:01) (Gordito) Can't do that while holding on to the lie.
(09:57:32) (merri) what lie?
(09:57:56) (Gordito) Self.
(09:58:19) (Erodicus) right
(09:58:24) (merri) self is a lie?
(09:58:40) (Gordito) It is the satan Cayce spke of.
(09:59:08) (Erodicus) no man can serve two masters
(09:59:12) (merri) couldn't disagree more!
(09:59:31) (Gordito) The pathway to hell is paved with good intentionbs it is written.
(09:59:36) (Gordito) I kinow.
(10:00:22) (merri) Keep ye all in the Way. Be happy. Be joyous. And may love and mercy and peace, that cometh from the Father to those who use themselves in His service, be with thee. Amen.?
(10:00:34) (Lory) Amen
(10:00:39) (Bill) As we manifest the fruits of the Christ, of the Christ Consciousness, in our words, our acts, in our dwelling with others, we will, as the Christ, manifest in the earth good to all, whether they are of His fold or those who reject that which He lived and taught. In this manner the Son manifested the Father in the earth: so in Him we have an example.
(10:00:41) (Medium) Amen
(10:00:44) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(10:00:46) (Roz) Amen
(10:01:03) (Gordito) When He comes again, What did He say?:
(10:01:07) (Cris) Amen
(10:02:58) (Erodicus) Only those who do the Will of the Father
(10:03:15) (Bill) If we would know the love of the Father (that has been manifested through His son, who overcame sin, error, disease, and even death itself in the material plane), then let us rely on the power of His indwelling presence and have a greater knowledge, a greater understanding of the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Life, in our experience.
(10:06:28) (Gordito) Many have sought the strait and narrow, few have found it though.
(10:06:28) (Bill) If we would be perfect manifestations then, let us be ready to forgive, even as our Master did. He did not set any moral law but that of which the soul of man was conscious. So, we may know that within dwells the spirit of God, that which quickens if we will acknowledge His power and His divine right with us.
(10:06:45) (Gordito) Yet the pathway that leads to deathg is easy to find.
(10:07:14) (Gordito) It is found through your own understanding.
(10:07:38) (Gordito) Yet that One Path that is above all others is found through His Understanding.
(10:07:48) (Lory) No soul dies. We live forever.
(10:08:00) (Gordito) Brought about though the loss of selfr in doing His Biddings not your own.
(10:08:11) (Gordito) Of course the soul lives.
(10:08:11) (Erodicus) Yes
(10:08:19) (Bill) . He set no rules of ethics, other than, “whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” (Matt. 7:12.) and to know, inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker. He declared that the kingdom of Heaven is within each individual, and that each through meditation upon the fact that God is the Father of all could become aware of the kingdom. Such a teacher became the Christ.
(10:08:21) (Gordito) This is not the death I speak of.
(10:08:35) (Gordito) It is the death that perpetuates lkife here.
(10:08:47) (Gordito) Through karma and reincanation.
(10:09:08) (Gordito) The death, of the flesh, brought about through being outside o9f His Will.
(10:10:06) (Gordito) I don't care how much you think you can coincide with His Will, it'll never bring about That which can rejuvinate a sin sick soul, revivify a sin sick body.
(10:10:42) (Erodicus) I Agree
(10:10:44) (MaryAnne) Gordito, did Cayce not give readings for a few, at least one, who would die in the flesh but not have to return here?
(10:10:50) (Gordito) And all disease is sin vbased.,
(10:10:58) (Gordito) Yes
(10:11:09) (Gordito) That too is asn option.
(10:11:17) (Gordito) Not a vey glorious noe.
(10:11:22) (Gordito) But an option.
(10:11:26) (Eileen) wonder if my name is on that list MaryAnne
(10:11:31) (Gordito) If ytou are close enough at death.
(10:11:38) (Gordito) If you have loved all.
(10:11:47) (MaryAnne) I hope we are both on it Eileen :o)
(10:11:49) (Gordito) And held nothing against no one.
(10:11:53) (Bill) As concerning our fellowman, He taught that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us, to take no thought, to worry not, to be not over anxious about the body, for He knows what things we have need of. Then we should realize that in the place, in the consciousness in which we find our self today, is that which is needed for our greater, our better, and more wonderful unfoldment.
(10:12:01) (Eileen) crossing my fingers MaryAnne
(10:12:02) (Gordito) Sure there is the back door so toi speak.
(10:12:13) (Gordito) Not muck Glory in that though.
(10:12:21) (Gordito) Not much acomplishment.
(10:12:25) (WalksInSpirit) Not all disease is sin based. Remember the Reading where Cayce said the child was blinded at birth, and when asked, Cayce said it was NOT karmic, and someone would pay for doing this to the child?
(10:12:42) (Gordito) Becoming Like Him though, well That truly is an Acomplishment.
(10:12:46) (WalksInSpirit) Wish I had the reading number at hand, but I do not.
(10:12:46) (MaryAnne) I do remember that one WIS
(10:12:50) (Gordito) Anyone can die.
(10:12:57) (Gordito) In nthe flesh.
(10:13:17) (Gordito) Takes a real believer to follow in His Footsteps.
(10:13:28) (Gordito) Laying self aside for the good of all.
(10:13:30) (Erodicus) Yes
(10:13:39) (Bill) .) The Lord loveth those who put their trust WHOLLY in Him. This, then, is that attitude of mind that puts away hate, malice, anxiety, jealousy. And in their stead, since Mind is the Builder , creates the fruits of the spirit; love, patience, mercy, long-suffering, kindness, gentleness. And against these, there is no law.
(10:13:42) (Eileen) the bible also says the He chastises those whom he loves, which can be done through illnesses
(10:14:07) (Bill) . They break down barriers, they bring peace and harmony, they bring the outlook upon life of not finding fault because someone “forgot”, someone’s judgment was bad, someone was selfish today. These ye can overlook, for so did He.
(10:14:10) (Gordito) That isa the life the Master was speaking of when He said no greater thing then to lay down your life for your friends.
(10:14:16) (Gordito) Anyone can die.
(10:14:23) (Gordito) Not mnuch i9n that./
(10:14:24) (Eileen) Bill, what do you think is meant by long-suffering?
(10:14:41) (Gordito) But how many have been Re-Born as He Was In His Will?
(10:14:44) (Gordito) Not many.
(10:16:05) (Bill) not sure how i could explain it Eileen maybe somebiody else can
(10:16:10) (Gordito) God Counts.
(10:16:19) (Gordito) Not my job.
(10:16:53) (Gordito) Bearing the pain of this life while holding on to Him.
(10:17:06) (Gordito) Read Job.
(10:18:02) (Eileen) but it is not all painful, Gordito, though that is a pretty good answer
(10:18:04) (WalksInSpirit) One can view it as an awful pain. or... "This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us R-E-J-O-I-C-E and be G-L-A-D in it!"
(10:18:06) (Erodicus) hello Andrew
(10:18:22) (Gordito) Long suffering.
(10:18:23) (Eileen) like that one too, Walks
(10:18:36) (Gordito) I did noy say it could not be done joyously.
(10:18:51) (Gordito) Jesus csuffered yet was joyful/
(10:18:54) (Eileen) no, you didn't
(10:19:26) (Gordito) We were speaking of long-suffering though.
(10:19:36) (Bill) maybe it just means bare the responsibility for where we're at at any given time and bare your cross accordingly
(10:20:06) (Eileen) sounds good Bill, good answers, thanks
(10:20:13) (Gordito) Bearing the cross is not always the long suffering.
(10:20:13) (Bill) assume the responsibility is a better term
(10:20:18) (Erodicus) jesus already did that
(10:20:23) (Gordito) Sometimes it is just being kind.
(10:20:27) (Gordito) Or getle.
(10:20:39) (Gordito) Or showing brothetrly love to all.
