TEMPTATION TO THE ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL – 3
Then this most advanced individual, having much to meet, is tempted to listen to the argument of fear. But the voice of Christ, Truth, is heard saying, “Be not afraid! Action cannot stop, it is eternal. From your own standpoint, whether it be the blade or the ear, in order to make it become the full corn in the ear — the fully ripe and spiritual state of being — ‘the full corn’ — it must not be a blighted blade, nor a blighted ear; therefore I, Christ, Truth, begin with your present needs and restore harmonious action to the bodily functions. I declare you are not afraid. I say, ‘Peace be still’ to your fears. Then I restore action in its proper stage of harmony, and the functions of the body are performed naturally as in health.
