Learn, then, to stand oft aside and watch self pass by—even in those influences that at times are torments to thy mind. Remember,mindis the builder. Just as Father, Son, Holy Spirit; body, mind, soul.
Then the Master—as the mind—is the way, is the how, that one becomes aware through application, through administration of the hopes, the desires, the faith of the soul itself. For, mind is of body and of soul, and when purified in the Christ-Consciousness it lives on and on as such.
Remember, then, that all are tried as in the fires of self. For He has not willed that any soul should perish, but has with every temptation, every trial, prepared a way of escape.
And they that are His, He will not allow to be tempted beyond that they are able to bear.

As the entity, an individual, then applies, it becomes aware—through patience, through time, through space—of its relationship to the Godhead—Father, Son, Holy Spirit. In self it finds body, mind, soul. As the Son is the builder, so is the mind the builder in the individual.
Then, as the entity here, [3508], entertains this or that concept of materiality, it sets in motion that which is either contrarywise or in accord with the divine purpose.
Then the purpose of the entity, and how it may attain to that peace, that at-onement which the Son found in the Father:
The purpose of the entity in the earth, is that it may know itself, also to be itself, and yet at one with the Creative Forces, fulfilling those purposes for which the entity comes into the earth; accepting, believing,knowing then thy relationship to that Creative Force. For He hath called thee friend; not servant, but a friend, a brother, a sister. For “Who is my mother, my brother, my sister? They that do the will of the Father in heaven, the same is my mother, my brother, my sister.”
Thus it behooves the entity to seek what is the will of the Father concerning thine individual self, to sow the seed of the spirit of truth; just being kind, patient, showing brotherly love, longsuffering, being gracious. This is sowing the seed, this is the will of the Father. For he that loveth his brother, his neighbor, yea his enemy, is a brother to the Lord— the Lord who is the Son, who is the Savior, who is the spirit of truth and purpose.
As these are applied in relationships to others we come to those questions that have been indicated; when ye shall stand before the throne of mercy, the throne of grace. “Inasmuch as ye have done unto one of these, even my little ones, ye have done unto me.” Visiting the sick, the imprisoned, supplying those needs in the way of speaking gently, being patient with the froward [Obsolete word meaning “disobedient”]—as these are applied they bring peace into the heart, into the soul of the entity. For as He gave, only through the seed of the spirit may ye overcome the world even as He overcame the world. And the things of the world are to be used as in glory to the Father, and in honor to self. Then, make the paths straight—just being patient, just being kind, just showing brotherly love. Then the entity may find in itself its relationship to others.
Then speak oft with thy Lord as ye would speak to thy brother.引自 Chapter 8 The Mind Is Symbolized in the Son
