Cayce
"Then use that thou hast in hand. Not to thine own glory but that there may be, through thy GIVING of thyself as a channel, a blessing to others, in every phase of their experience..." [Cayce 1246-4]
"Being a channel of blessing to others is the purpose each soul has come into conscious activity in a material world." [Cayce (3161-1]
"The spiritual life should direct and the social, the moral, the material things should be rather the outgrowth for every soul. Be willing to be used rather AS the footstool than the throne. Be willing to be used as the channel of the blessing, A blessing, MANY blessings, to others." [Cayce 476-1]
"Keep that as not only a covenant but as that which is an opportunity for you to each day be a channel of blessing, of hope, to someone. And this is accomplished in just being kind to others without thought of self's material reward." [Cayce ECRL 1580-1]
Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth
"If you focus on the desire to love, to accept, to work with gladness in your heart, then everywhere you go you are shedding a consciousness of strength, blessing and growth." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 4, page 10]
The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God let me see you" and a star shined brightly. But the man did not notice. And the man shouted, "God show me a miracle" and a life was born. But the man did not know. So the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are there" Whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. [anon]
