ONENESS OF PURPOSE

• A union of force makes for strength and power. Thus, the communion of saints means that all who have one purpose, whose thoughts and motivative forces are one, may communicate; whether those in the material plane, in the borderland, or those that may be upon the shores of the other side of life.
• 262-87 SFG Book 2 Lesson 6: Destiny of the Body

COMMUNION OF SAINTS

• What meaneth the interpreters of the experiences in that, "Ye as standing here shall see glory; and after six days he taketh with him Peter, James and John and goeth apart into the mountain and there was transfigured before them"? What saw they? A glorified body? The glory of the body brought what? Communion of saints? For who appeared WITH Him?

• 262-87 Destiny of the Body

WAY OF THE CROSS

UNDERSTANDING PAIN

• Pain – Good or Bad?

• Disease is well known – pain effect not so much

UNDERSTANDING PAIN�SOME PAIN IS ESSENTIAL – WE LEARN

• Pain – Good or Bad
• Disease of body that blocks pain transmission
• Results in bodily damage due to no feedback
• Cuts, bruises, sores, etc. all go un-detected
• Eventually body becomes badly damaged
• Disease is well known – pain effect not so much
• LEPROSY!

UNDERSTANDING PAIN�SOME PAIN IS ESSENTIAL – WE LEARN

• LEPROSY!
• Jesus healed lepers so they could feel pain again!
• Because the feedback of pain is crucial to health!
• Matthew, Mark & Luke
• A gentleman or lady is someone who does NOT hurt someone’s feelings unintentionally, but for their own good.

LEPROSY SYMPTOMS

• The main symptom of leprosy is skin lesions. Other effects of leprosy are due to its impact on the body's nervous system.��Leprosy does not affect the central nervous system. However, it can affect the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (sensory, motor and autonomic nerves) by:
• sensory nerve damage – when the sensory nerves are damaged, they cannot register pain. This leaves the extremities of hands and feet vulnerable to burns and injuries that can result in loss of fingers, toes, hands and feet
• eye nerve damage – when the eye is affected, it can lead to blindness, particularly if the person does not know how to prevent injury due to dust or other irritants
• motor nerve damage – when the motor nerves are involved, various forms of paralysis can occur such as ‘dropped foot’, ‘dropped wrist’, ‘clawed hand’, or lagophthalmos (where the eye cannot close)
• autonomic nerve damage – the autonomic nerves regulate the PNS body functions, such as blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, bowel and bladder emptying, and digestion. Damage to the autonomic nerves can cause hair loss and can affect the ability to sweat, leaving the skin dry and cracked and exposed to secondary infection.

THINK ON THESE THINGS

• Thinking adds not one whit to thy stature materially, but mentally, spiritually, it may produce the revolution which brings peace and harmony into the world.
• 3384-3 Male Age 33

​

• Thoughts are things and can become either crimes or miracles

SPIRIT COMMUNICATION

• 8. (Q) Why are communications so much more frequent in Europe than America, also clearer, fuller?
• (A) This should be a greater indication to the thinker of that so oft given, "Thoughts are things and may be miracles or crimes." Mind and thought are the builder, and upon that thought, that as made, may there be builded that through which there may be the greater source of the communications established. Then, this shows that variation in the spiritual-minded surroundings and the material-minded surroundings.

SPIRIT COMMUNICATION

• From the first premise given, it is not to be reckoned that there is not the spirituality in those even that are called material-minded, but rather reason from that which has been given. Those that signify, testify, glorify the Giver of life are in the proper course. Those that glorify self are in that class that must be put away.
• 5756-8 Spirit Communication

CHILDREN�HOPE OF MANKIND

• Cayce Baby Show Sept. 1940
