Edgar Cayce Readings, 255-12

(Soul-mind of entity. You will give a detailed history of her life in the earth plane as Iszeiu in Eygpt, particularly affecting her in the present life, answering questions.)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the entity and those activities in that particular experience in the earth as Iszeiu.
To give that activity as historical, it would be necessary that much of the doings and activities of others be included also, and the purposes, activities, relationships, that were built in the innate influence of the entity - and that manifest themselves today.
When the attempts for reconstruction during the experience were begun, many were the changes that were wrought in the affairs and the activities of the peoples. This was first the necessity of the priest's rejuvenation (with those so closely associated in the various activities), that would be to all the peoples of the time a demonstration for a looking to, for an answering of that which was in the experience, even of the closest, that the powers from on high were active in that the priest would accomplish for the people.
Among those things that were the greater in question was that which had arisen that had caused the divisions in the ones that counseled with the king and the political, those that counseled with the counsellors and the king, as related to the religious life, the educational life, the home life, in the experience; and especially as to the children of the initiates or of those that were conceded to be those through whom, to whom, there would be given specific or particular activity during their sojourn.
With the advent, or the event of the incoming of those that had come or did come from the Atlantean land, these aided specifically in the questionings, in the determinings, in the activities in such ways and manners as to bring to those with whom the entity Iszeiu was associated that which made the setting up or establishing of that which has been and is innate in the present experience of the entity; as the dietician, the activities of the cleansing and purifying of the bodies as in relationship to the associations of the individuals and their work, their service, their activity, in the material plane.
Hence the entity in the experience aided the priest directly in establishing the surroundings, the associations, as related to many of those who had come in, many of those who were cleansed from time to time, assisting those in their preparations for the various activities in their relationships to groups, individuals, and to others. Hence this may be said to have been the particular work during the experience of the entity in that sojourn.
As to the birth, the time, this came with those of the land to which this people in power had come, and was among the kingly and priestly tribe combined; and then when there was the entering in of those from the Atlantean land, the companionship of the leader or the recorder or the researcher in the experience brought to the entity that strength, that power, that ability to not only meet the situations politically, but to meet the situations also in the religious, in the economic, in the whole of the environ as to make the activities that meant so much to self, to the period, to the peoples; and necessarily must be in the present.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Did the entity develop at that time any psychic abilities?
(A) INTUITIVE influences, that were the greater thought or activity. Words here fail to express just what is intended to give, but the Atlanteans were a THOUGHT people, those of an intuitive influence. In the associations in the teachings, in the relations at the time, combined with those efforts of the regenerated or renewed priest (which received, which gave, which meted out to the peoples in the period the tenets, the lessons that become practical laws in the experience), the entity then developed that which is today termed intuition. By the mere mention of an incident or fact, the entity in the present the more often sees the end of same without knowing just how, where, or being able to give any definite details. But more OFTEN it is correct. Intuition. The faculty. It is so often misunderstood. Psychic forces, psychic development, are so often misunderstood. Psychic should be applied rather to the soul mind or soul body, than merely to - as is the more often deduced - the MENTAL activities of an entity, a soul, a body.
(Q) Suggest how the entity may train self in the present to the study and use of this intuitive sense.
(A) Train intuition? Then, how would you train electricity - save as to how it may be governed! By keeping in self those thoughts, those activities of the mental mind, those activities of the body that allow spiritual truths to emanate through. To train such! Not train, but govern! Govern it by knowing that the mind, that the body, that the influences are such that these are not sidetracked from the ideals and purposes that are set before self. So develop. For God, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, He who metes to every soul that which is the companionship to its activities in a material life, guards, and guides and keeps those that in sincerity seek to know HIS way, irrespective of the other influences that may be about a body. Hence, in governing, in guarding, in guiding such forces, such powers that arise or manifest or demonstrate through the activities of the body, keep the body, the mind, the soul, in attune with the spheres of celestial forces, rather than of earthly forces. Rather than listening to that which is poetically given as to the voice that arises from the earth, listen to that which comes as the music of the spheres, that: "Let others scoff, let others laugh, but know in self that He has promised to be THY God, THY protector, THY help, in every time of trouble."
(Q) Explain just how the entity can be of the most help and assistance to the Work, as related to the psychic work of Edgar Cayce.
(A) As the conditions are interlocking, as the development of the priest or of Ra-Ta has been of its own making for its development, as the development of Iszeiu has been such that there is the natural consequence of attraction through influences or forces that are of the souls' relationships in their seeking to manifest the love of God in the earth, so - as in the experience development came to each in their activity - the activities in the present may not only bespeak, but they may be a literal demonstration in material things of how this experience, this association, may be builded upon that builded in that experience, that relationship. How applied? To those about the body, those the body contacts, those in their various relationships, though they may as in the experience for a time turn aside. THINK for the moment, or draw the comparison for self - a native enjoining self to the tenets of a deposed priest, and of a native of another land - as to how the hardships were met in the day. What were the unkind things that were said and done? How many rebuffs, how many rebukes, how many of the conditions; until there was shown in the activities of self the relationships that were established among the children, as they grew into the activity! How much of the relationships? Time, yes - but rather that which builded for the experiences in the hearts and souls of those. For, not in numbers does the Lord conquer. Rather in sincerity and in truth. Of the millions that entered into the earth as teachers, only the Christ gave ALL, covering all that had ever been given. Only this entity in the experience gave the all as to that NECESSARY in certain activities in the diets, in the upbringing of the children into the tenets about them. Hence the lessons or the aid may come sustaining those associations that must eventually not only aid, but carry on the work - as the body of the priest goes into change again.
(Q) How can I use the experiences of that period to help my son [452] now?
(A) Again developments. For, these are individual - even as the soul is individual. Yet the moving influence, the spirit, is that chosen by the individual soul in its activity. As to the activities through the experience, these were combative influences - as may be seen, that were drawn from the activities in or of each in that sojourn. In the present, then, in LOVING tolerance, in loving association, ever being ready to answer when any aid or help must be given or may be given. But know each soul must find its way back to its God. Be as the leader gave of old, "Others may do as they may, but as for me - I will serve the LIVING God." Not the God of any people, of any individual, but the LIVING God - that is personal to those that seek to know Him as a personal God. In that attitude, then, may the greater help come to all those about the body, that in that experience in their own activities measured up or slided off (as would be termed) to their own ways of interpretation of the associations and relations. For, as in the experience then the question was - how personal could the individual come to know God's ways in the earth, it is the same today. How personal, how close does God walk with the individual in his daily life? His emissaries, His teachers, His ministers, ever. Let's not see the emissaries or the ministers, but only God. For, as Christ has given, "I do nothing of myself but God that worketh within me." So may the entity, with the spirit of God through the power of the Christ Consciousness, come to know - in EVERY thing, in every act - that love that may pass all understandings. For, to others it may be as a myth, as a dream, as a thing to be hoped for, but to this body, to this entity, to this soul, who has tasted of the joys of the personal contact with those influences within the soul, it may come to be His power working within.
We are through for the present.
