In seeking such information, one would do well to understand
what premise the existent conditions that are as
personalities or latent in the individuality of the entity,
and why, or what caused those conditions TO be existent in
the experience of the entity as an entity. Would one [If one
would] review those lessons as have been compiled and
preserved throughout the ages of man in his reasoning
relationships with the Creative Energy, or God, his
relationships TO God and God's relationships to man, one
would see how that individuals were called for DEFINITE
purposes through that they (the individuals) had BUILDED in
their own experience, and how that such individuals in a
life's experience faltered or failed to keep that purpose
for which they were brought into being by the acts of their
OWN WILL, that which MAKES man in the relationship as does
exist, that GIVEN man that he might become a companion with
the Father, the Son, and the holy angels, and the ENTITIES
that might dwell in peace and with Him. When such
individuals faltered, then those things of which the flesh is
heir TO beset them (in man's terminology) with ills, evil
companions, and hatred was bred, and enemies seemed to
compass about. When such an individual turned again and
SOUGHT the face OF the Father, sought for forgiveness, pled
his own cause - as has ever been promised - the FATHER heard,
even though afar off, and there came into being in the
physical understanding, the mental body, the imaginative
body, the physical body, that as was sought for. Then man
went so far away in the concepts of his own wisdom, that
those things became as natural consequences in the lives of
individuals, and man bethought himself as a creator by aping
even Creative Forces, which - used in a material sense -
brought then even to his OWN destruction. Then the pity,
the love - still - for the Creator, for that created, ever
dominant in the heart and soul, that the cry went up for
that CONTINUED establishment OF the access to the Father,
even as was promised to His servant David. Then the entrance
into the world of the PRINCE of Peace, that they who found in
Him that way, that light, that water, that brother that gave
them the access to the throne of grace itself, might have
those errors FORGIVEN - and REMEMBERED no more, save as has
been given, that those things that so easily beset and the
dog returns to the vomit and the hog to his wallow! Then,
those things that are existent in the experience of an ENTITY
- from its advent into the material plane, where there
becomes PHYSICAL, third dimensional, manifestations of this
divine love - what an INDIVIDUAL does ABOUT such knowledge,
such relationships, becomes the inclinations, the desires,
the wishes of the heart; for "Thy speech often betrayeth
thee," for "Of the abundance of the heart the MOUTH
speaketh," and all nature hath been tamed but the tongue hath
no man tamed! It may be STILLED in the earth, but that it
has spoken goes on - and on - and builds, or IS retarded, by
that way as has been prepared for those who would seek His
face! Ready for questions.
(Q) Am I developing myself spiritually to the best of my
mental powers?
(A) Will the self understand that as is BEING manifested
by the deeds done in the body NOW, THEN there will be ever
the answer from within as to whether one is using those
abilities for the magnifying of that love or not; for the
answer MUST be in self AND Him! for with His love did He
come into the earth, that we through Him MIGHT know the
Father, OVERCOMING those things IN earth, for "though He
were the Son, yet learned HE obedience through the things
which HE suffered." So, in thine own self learn - through
the experiences of the body-CONSCIOUSNESS, through the
experiences of the body-mind, that He may be glorified in
the words of thy mouth and the meditations of THY heart;
REMEMBERING the premise from which the body is to reason.
(Q) In the incarnation as Partheniasi, give name of girl
that I laughed at.
(A) One who SUFFERED torture UNDER the ANIMAL in the arena,
one that is near - AND dear - to thee in this PRESENT
experience. [See
301-5 on
6/20/31.]
(Q) Give names of other people with whom I was closely
associated at that time.
(A) ALL those who were in the period that suffered
persecution, or those who - with that CALLED the royalty,
or those in power - LOOKED ON. As to names, MANY of those.
These may be gathered from the records as have been made of
same. In this connection, let not the personalities of those
who suffered, or those who enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh
for a season, dwell in thine own self. Rather the PRINCIPLES
as are involved, and as the injunction has ever been, be
always mindful of entertaining those we contact, or MANY have
entertained angels unawares! So, in thine associations, not
that that is builded that may not be far removed, for
remember the premise from which life and its various phases,
or advents into any given plane - whether earth or of OTHER
places of sojourn - have their OWN activities, as "day unto
day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge!"
So, as the advent in a given experience, there are those
experiences that bring JOY, PEACE, HARMONY, dependent upon
the use of the talents as are in hand under WHATEVER ENVIRON
they may be! for the SERVICE OF the CREATOR! Knowing ever
ye have an advocate with the Father!
(Q) Have I ever been associated with [my bro. [
282]'s wife;
my sister-in-law] [
301] and her daughter [my niece] [
299] in
some other incarnation?
(A) This has been given in this, and among those whom the
entity laughed at during this period - see? These should be
taken rather into consideration, or into coordination, and
these will be worked out as to the innate feelings as must
come to the body in its relationships to individuals; one
innately feels that association and what it MUST have been,
where or when! What's to be done about it now! Will He AID
thee in RESUSCITATING love for evil? Will HE come and GUIDE
thee? or WILL self still hold those little grudges that
bespeak of slights here, false understandings,
misconstructions of words, acts? but rather will all such be
lost in Him, who IS ABLE to take away the sins of many!
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
10/13/30 She obtained Life Rdg.
275-11, and on
5/16/31 she
had Life Rdg.
275-19 on her Roman incarnation.
10/19/31 She wrote EC: "My Life Rdg. was a bit shorter than
the others [in the family]. In reading over your two [
294-8
and 294-19], I found your second a great deal better than
your first, so I thought the same would hold good for me.
Now what I would like is to have another complete Life Rdg.
with the enclosed questions asked, but if this is asking for
too much please do just as you think best." [Her questions
included: "In the incarnation as Zangrill, give exact place,
date, and birth of entity. Have I any karma from that
incarnation; if so, give guidance for making good. In the
incarnation as Xera, give exact place and date, and
description of entity. Is there any statuary now in
existence for which I was a model, and who was the sculptor?
With whom was I associated when I was among those who
participated in the study of statuary? Where and how can I
best learn to be an interpreter of artistes expression of
statuary? Have I any karma from the incarnation as Xera? if
so, give guidance for making good of same." She listed her
preference of questions to be asked first, in case she could
not mix the incarnations.]
REPORTS
12/01/31 She obtained Ck. Life Rdg.
275-23, answering further
questions about past incarnations and relationships.
