Reading 2390-7
Thus the lesson to the entity: Do not let regret, jealousy, become a part of thy mental experience. These ye can control in thy mental self. Not always easy, but putting that purpose forth as indicated—the hope, the desire, the faith in the promise of Him—He may take away thy burdens . . . the Master, who is the way, mind and body, spirit and soul, may become one with that purpose of Creative Forces; that may not disintegrate with activity, but grow—as love—in demonstration; and feeds not upon the weaknesses or the miseries of others.
Keep that faith.
Ready for questions.
(Q) In what way do the regenerations of that period tie in with my present life, and how can I best use them constructively?
(A) As indicated. Trust not in those things that are of the material making, but in those that are ever creative; letting those activities of self-indulgence or self-gratification not ever become the rule, but rather purposefully building towards the consciousness of the Christ-presence.
(Q) In previous readings it has been given that I can recall certain experiences from past incarnations. In order that I may become more conscious of these experiences and they will help me to develop spiritually, please give instructions as to the method of meditation that will be best for me.
(A) As indicated in that given, when ye would meditate—or when ye would sleep, put all hate, all jealousy, all regret, from thy mind—by filling the mind with the consciousness of the Christ-power. For, as He hath given, each soul is in that consciousness it has builded—by what it has done about universal consciousness in its experiences.
Thus, as the entity knows itself, its weaknesses, its faults, put them away; trusting in Him. For His promises are to bring to the remembrance of all, that which will enable them to ever glorify God in their dealings with others.
Thus, as given, to him who hath much, much may be given. To him who hath much, of him much is required.
As others will, and do consciously and unconsciously look to thee—for a look, for a word, for an expression—so live as to ever be to others one that walks and talks oft with Him. This will enable the entity to fulfill that purpose for which it came into this experience.

EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1793]; and those conditions, those desires and purposes relative to [631].
In giving advice and counsel regarding such associations and relations, desires and purposes and wishes, many phases of man’s experience and man’s endeavors should be taken into consideration—rather than saying alone “I will.”
Rather are the circumstances in the present much in that manner as has been said, “Man’s extremity becomes God’s opportunity.”
And unless one can truly say within, “Thy will, O God, be done in me, through me,” and then the life, the activities, the associations with the fellow man day by day in accordance with that prayer, that supplication—there is little hope for such an entity or body . . .
Then let thy activity, thy prayer, thy supplication be in those directions, that:
“As Thou seest, O God, use Thou me; that there may come to thy children who seek to know in this material experience the greater truth, the greater mercy Thou may show; not to be used in self-indulgence, in self-honor or glory, but rather in self-effacement; that the glory Thou hast shown in Him may be manifested in the lives and hearts, and in the bodies of these Thy children!”
This is the manner, then—through prayer, though meditation; not as one shutting himself away from its fellow man, but knowing that it is as ye do it unto the least of thy neighbors, thy brethren, thy fellow men day by day, that ye bespeak of the fountains of purposes within thine own heart and soul respecting thy Creator!
Then, not by might and by power but by the love that thou hast for thy fellow man, may this thing be accomplished in thy desire, in thy endeavor; that these be made one with God’s purposes with thee and thy ward!

Reading 2246-1
The records each entity makes are written or impressed upon time and space; and through patience one may attain to the awareness or consciousness of same in one’s own experience.
Thus may the relationships of the entity and the universal consciousness, or God, become more and more a conscious reality. Not that it may be even describable in words. For, words are merely a means of communicating ideas to one individual from another, while universal consciousness with Creative Forces is rather the awareness that bespeaks of life itself. And life in every form is the manifestation of that force called God.
Yet, as was given in those admonitions by Him—who in the flesh was a manifestation, or became the manifestation of that God-consciousness in the material world—“In patience ye may become aware of, or awakened to, thy soul. In patience, and living in that consciousness, I may bring to your remembrance all things from the foundations of the world.”
These are indications, then, that this entity in itself may—if it chooses—come to that awareness of its relationships to that universal consciousness, that Christ-likeness which is manifested by the relationships or dealings one with another.
For as each soul—not the body but the soul—is the image of the Maker, so with the awareness of the soul-consciousness there may come the awakening to the realization of the soul’s relationship with that universal consciousness, as is promised in Him.
Thus the records of each entity are a part of the universal consciousness, and “Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of my little ones, ye did it unto me.” These are the channels, these are the records then that ever stand as that angel before the throne, that there may be intercession. For, as the spirit of the Christ is one, and the individual entity in its manifestations of thought, purpose and desire makes its awareness one with that consciousness, so may that soul awareness come. For, ye find thyself body, mind, soul. These three bear witness in the earth. And the Christ Consciousness, the Holy Spirit and thy guardian angel bear witness in the spirit . . .
Thus is each soul, each entity, a co-creator with that universal consciousness ye call God.

Reading 2629-1
These we choose with the desire and purpose that this may be a helpful experience for the entity; not only to encourage the entity in the present experience but that it may better fulfill the purpose for which it entered this sojourn; that it, the entity, may better be a channel of blessings to others—which has been and is the entity’s intent and purpose.
For, as there is builded in the innate and manifested experience of each entity, these become at variance oft to that ordinarily comprehended. For, the awareness or consciousness in the material plane has been and is given an individual soul as an opportunity for growth; which has been indicated by Him who is the way, the truth, the
