EC: Yes, we have the entity, Thomas Sugrue; the desires, the > purposes for the desire to know the material history of the life of > the Master in the material world. > > 3. Much might be given as to how or why and when there were the > purposes that brought about the materialization of Jesus in the flesh. > > 4. In giving then the history: There were those in the faith of the > fathers to whom the promises were given that these would be fulfilled > as from the beginning of man’s record. > > 5. Hence there was the continued preparation and dedication of those > who might be the channels through which this chosen vessel might enter > – through choice – into materiality. > > 6. Thus in Carmel – where there were the priests of this faith – there > were the maidens chosen that were dedicated to this purpose, this > office, this service. > > 7. Among them was Mary, the beloved, the chosen one; and she, as had > been foretold, was chosen as the channel. Thus she was separated and > kept in the closer associations with and in the care or charge of this > office. > > 8. That was the beginning, that was the foundation of what ye term the > Church. > > 9. Then, when the days were fulfilled that the prophecy might come > that had been given by Isaiah, Malachi, Joel and those of old, she – > Mary, espoused to Joseph – a chosen vessel for the office among those > of the priests, the sect or group who had separated and dedicated > themselves in body, in mind, in spirit for this coming became with child. > > 10. Then, as the record is given, that is the common knowledge of > most, there was born in Bethlehem of Judea that entity, that soul, Jesus. > > 11. There was the period of purification according to the law, and > then the days in the temple and the blessing by Anna and by the high > priest. > > 12. And these made for those days of the beginning of the entity > called Jesus – who becomes the Christ, the Master of Masters – in the > days when there was the return to Nazareth and then the edict that > sent them into Egypt that the prophecy was fulfilled, “My son shall be > called from Egypt. ” > > 13. There five years were spent, as ye term time – by the mother, > Joseph, and the child. > > 14. Then there was the return to Judea and to Capernaum, where dwelt > many of those who were later the closer companions of the Master. > > 15. Here, after the period again of presentation at the temple, when > there were those questionings among the groups of the leaders, the > entity then was sent first – again – into Egypt for only a short > period, and then into India, and then into what is now Persia. > > 16. Hence in all the ways of the teachers the entity was trained. > > 17. From Persia he was called to Judea at the death of Joseph, and > then into Egypt for the completion of the preparation as a teacher. > > 18. He was with John, the messenger, during the portion of the > training there in Egypt. > > 19. Then to Capernaum, Cana, and those periods of the first > preparation in the land of the nativity. > > 20. The rest ye have according to Mark, John, Matthew and Luke; these > in their order record most of the material experiences of the Master. > > 21. Many of details may be given in the varied fields of the > preparation, but these were the experiences. > > 22. Ready for questions. > > 23. (Q) Explain the immaculate conception. > (A) As flesh is the activity of the mental being (or the spiritual > self and mental being) pushing itself into matter, and as spirit – as > He gave – is neither male nor female, they are then both – or one. > > And when man had reached that period of the full separation from > Creative Forces in the spirit, then flesh as man knows it today became > in material plane a reality. > > Then, the immaculate conception is the physical and mental so attuned > to spirit as to be quickened by same. > > Hence the spirit, the soul of the Master then was brought into being > through the accord of the Mother in materiality that ye know in the > earth as conception. > > 24. (Q) Explain the relationship of the Wise Men and Jesus’ birth? > (A) As indicated by the travels of the Master during the periods of > preparation, the whole earth, the whole world looked for, sought the > closer understanding. Hence through the efforts of the students of the > various phases of experiences of man in the earth, as may be literally > interpreted from the first chapters of Genesis, ye find that those > that subdued – not that were ruled by, but subdued the understandings > of that in the earth – were considered, or were in the position of the > wise, or the sages, or the ones that were holy; in body and mind, in > accord with purposes. > > Hence we find the Wise Men as those that were seekers for the truth, > for this happening; and in and through the application of those forces > – as ye would term today psychic – we find them coming to the place > “where the child was.” Or they were drawn as those that were giving > the thanks for this Gift, this expression of a soul seeking to show > wayward man back to God. > > So they represent in the metaphysical sense the three phases of man’s > experience in materiality; gold, the material; frankincense, the ether > or ethereal; myrrh, the healing force as brought with same; or body, > mind, soulk. > > These were the positions then of the Wise Men in their relationship, > or to put into the parlance of the day – they were the encouragement > needed for the Mother and those that had nourished, that had cherished > this event in the experience of mankind. > > They came during the days of purification, but to be sure only after > she was purified were they presented to the Child. > > 25. (Q) What relation did they have with the later travels of Jesus? > (A) As has just been indicated, they represented then the three phases > of man’s experience as well as the three phases of the teacher from > Egypt, from Persia, from India. > > 26. (Q) Did Mary and Joseph have any other children? > (A) James, Jude, and the daughter. > > 27.

Priceless!
God’s Wife
IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF
1. A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old Gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, ‘Nothing, I just Helped him cry.
2. Teacher Debbie Moon’s first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted A little girl said, ‘I know all about Adoption, I was adopted..’ ‘What does it mean to be adopted?’, asked another child. ‘It means’, said the girl, ‘that you grew in your mommy’s heart instead of her tummy!’
3. On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the firstbase line, I asked one of the boys what the score was ‘We’re behind 14 to nothing,’ he answered With a smile ‘Really,’ I said. ‘I have to say you don’t look very discouraged.’ ‘Discouraged?’, the boy asked with a Puzzled look on his face ‘Why should we be discouraged? We haven’t Been up to bat yet.’
4. Whenever I’m disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he’d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her eyes shining with pride and excitement.. ‘Guess what, Mom,’ he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me….’I’ve been chosen to clap and cheer.’
5. An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December,* some years ago: A little boy about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering With cold. A lady approached the young boy and said ‘My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window!’ ‘I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,’ was the boy’s reply The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washedhis little feet, and dried them with the towel By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy’s feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, ‘No doubt, you will be more comfortable now..’ As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her: ‘Are you God’s wife?’
SEND TO ALL WHO LOVE AND CARE FOR CHILDREN

Fwd: Fwd: friends and family
*Subject:*Fwd: friends and family ‘Friends & family are God’s way of taking care of us.’ This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician: I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die – I barely managed to coast, cursing, into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn’t even turn over. Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the quickie mart building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay. When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel. At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95. I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying ‘I don’t want my kids to see me crying! ,’ so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, ‘And you were praying?’ That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, ‘He heard you, and He sent me.’ I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fueling, walked to the next door McDonald’s and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little. She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City. Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn’t have money to pay rent Jan.1, and finally, in desperation, had called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there. So she packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there. I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, ‘So, are you like an angel or something?’ This definitely made me cry. I said, ‘Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people.’ It was so incredible to be a part of someone else’s miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I’ll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won’t find anything wrong. Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings… Psalms 55:22 ‘ Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.’ My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, especially for the months left in2014, and I picked you. Please pass this to four people you want to be blessed. Here is the prayer:/ / /’Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren, friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace, In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.’/ I know I picked more than four — you can, too. */************************************************************ /*This message is intended only for specified recipients.
