With
regard to inherited weaknesses, we must understand this first of
all: Each one of us gets the parents that we either merit or
deserve. By the inexorable working of the Law are we drawn to and
born of parents whose Ray-vibrational content, whose conditions of
life, whose physical make-up and mental and spiritual equipment
are exactly suited to provide that which is to be our training
ground for our spell in this world.
No-one
can with truth and justice blame heredity or their family
conditions for those misfortunes or ailments which come
their way. Each man has only himself to blame for every
circumstance of his life. If his Ray-vibrational content had been
different, if not these but other lessons had to be learned, then
he would have been born of different parents in different
circumstances.
You
might be born a king, you might be born the Shah of Persia, or you
might be born in a London slum. The circumstances in which you
find yourself are exactly suited to your particular stage of
development. It is your opportunity through effort, through the
harnessing of the God-power within, through the learning how to
open yourself to the inflow of God-power which is ever offering
itself from the God-source, so can you use your circumstances as a
stepping stone or as a rung of the ladder that leads up to
higher things.
So
you can see that the man who is born into a family that has
certain hereditary weaknesses, has drawn towards himself those
weaknesses which manifest themselves in his bodily make-up. On the
other hand those weaknesses may be there but through his own
effort and Ray-vibrational progress he may succeed in refusing to
allow those weaknesses to become a menace to him. He may turn the
negative and destructive elements of those vibrational weaknesses
into positivity. In other words he may find out how so to flood
himself with God-rays, with God-consciousness, with the perfection
of God-vibrations held in balance, that no negative element can
find any more place within him. He can expurgate and cleanse
himself in the purity of the God-rays.
So
the Entity who has in the past tied knots and tangles in her
life-beam, may feel an urgent desire to have the opportunity to
straighten out those knots and tangles, which by their presence
hinder her progression. Their presence within her Ray-vibrational
content makes it possible for her to take on a body whose
hereditary line includes a weakness in some physical elements.
The
entity is thereby put in the way of working through an experience
(say of cancerous pain) that will through the effort conquer the
pain split open the Core to a great intake of god-rays, thereby
smoothing out the tangles in the life-beam. Thereafter the Entity
is free.
