The Flesh, or Self-Principle~In The Feelings

In other cases the circumcision needs to take place in the realm of the feelings, the emotions, the desires.

That is the part of the being that gets in the way of so many people.

They are controlled entirely by the feeling-life, the affection-life...

They are in bondage to that part of their being; and they are very difficult people to handle.

But a true child of Heaven, the seed of His travail, is one in whom there has taken place, in that very realm of the feelings and desires, a deep work of circumcision.
