Get Understanding

And as He has given, "In all thy getting, my Son, get understanding." This is putting proper emphasis in the proper places, and do not become sidetracked by things that would pertain to material or spiritual alone, or things of the body or things of the heavenly force. For you grow to heaven, you don't go to heaven. It is within thine own conscience that ye grow there. For there first must come peace and harmony within thy purpose, thy ideal, thy hopes, thy desires. Thy wishes even must be in harmony with thy ideal if you would make the experience in the earth of value to thee.Edgar Cayce Reading 3409-1

Trying Times

For these are trying times. And know that there is no one in authority that has not been raised to same by the grace of Creative Forces. Each then is being given (that is an authority) the opportunity for expressing those purposes in his relationships and dealings with the fellow man--for the very reason of his abilities as a leader.Then do thou that thou knowest to be the constructive experience in thy field, and trouble not thy mind or heart as to others. For the very thought of there becoming turmoil is opening the way for turmoil.Edgar Cayce Reading 816-10
