(Q) In the analysis of my various lives given in the life
reading, are they the only ones I have lived here, or are
they just the outstanding ones!
(A) As is asked or sought in the information, "that in that
life which built or retarded the development OF the entity."
Those given are those in which retarding or developing took
place. The common, or the ordinary theory that incarnation
into the earth plane is the only source of incarnation or
appearance is erroneous, you see; for, as has been given in
relativity of forces, [[
3744] series?] when one - an entity
- a soul - enters in our, or THIS, or the PRESENT solar
system's forces, the contacts or the relative relationships
bear out the cycles of appearances in the various spheres of
development; as in Mercury - the MENTAL life, its relative
position to the solar system's - THIS solar system's -
center, making for those radiations in those forms, taking
form as matter occupied by the entity's being, which
represents MENTAL in its greater aspect. Then, as in Venus
- which takes those forms, bodily, or matter forms, nearer
akin to those known in the EARTH'S plane as earth or
material, or carnal forces; they representing more in the
form of LOVE. In Mars and its radial effect or position
about the solar center, THIS solar center - AND earth,
AND Venus, AND Mercury - make for those of a DIFFERENT
relationship, known as that seeking that known as vengeance,
wrath, madness, and such; and can one but know that each
thought, each act, is that being builded, they [one] can see
how, where, what way and manner each - in their sojourns
in the spheres - make for this entering in. As in earth -
we have that position in which matter takes all its various
forms of presentation of a given energy, OR force, as
radiated from the various effects of this solar aspect, and
take on BODILY form, occupying a position of, as it were,
three in one - or all force in THIS sphere taking on that
appearance of that known as threefold, or the aspects of a
threefold nature. As in Jupiter - taking on those ennobling
forces, whether they be from earth, from Venus, from Mercury,
from Mars, they are BROADENED, they are CHANGED in their
aspects, in their forms, as they are taken on in and about
THIS sphere. As in Saturn - that to whom all insufficient
matter is cast for its remoulding, its changing into the
various spheres of its activity, either re-entering through
those of the Uranian - which makes for the accentuations of
very good or very bad, and making, in their relationships
through the activity of RELATIVE relations throughout the
other experiences, for EXTRAORDINARY conditions; taking on
those forces known in earth's plane as from occult influences
Now, tracing these through the same, we find we pass then
into the water sign, or the mystic forces, of that source in
earth's force from which man determines that all forms of
life FORM, or predominate, from the water, or the mother of
all natural forces in this nature; this termed the mystic.
When an individual incarnates in the earth, he has POSSIBLY
passed through all the various spheres, either once, twice,
MANY times - yet the changes bring those same conditions
about for an understanding of each relationship in its
MAGNIFIED sphere. In the earth alone do we find them ALL
in ONE! for man has taken on a bodily FORM in matter, or
in nature. In the others find in the VARIED forms, dependent
upon that to which it has builded for ITS sojourn - see?
Now, as to one's incarnations in the earth - then we find
they DO NOT come at REGULAR, GIVEN, periods - but more as
cycles, dependent upon what the individual, the entity, HAS
done, or HAS accomplished through ITS cycle of the earth's
passage THROUGH THIS solar system, as the SOLAR system is
also passing through its various spheres, that are being
acted upon by the forces FROM without, or that as is
ordinarily known - or has been DETERMINED and named, though
not rightly, or wholly rightly in their aspects - as those
forms in the various MONTHS, as given - yet we find a
SIMILARITY of expression, rather than action. ACTION from
the MOTIVE forces FROM the entity's EXPERIENCE OR
development, or through either the EARTH'S experience or the
SPHERES about same. Hence those that speak of the GODS of
the universe are PROPER in their concept, WOULD they be
CONSIDERED as an INDIVIDUAL division of the various SPHERES
- but God, in His heavens, the Maker of ALL, is as the ONE
GOD, the ONE source! the various spheres of experience
through which the entities pass making for those variations,
either as to appearance or to those that are builded; for
where the treasure is the heart is also. One lays up earthly
treasures, then those are builded and they seek oft to gain
again that which was left undone during that sojourn; for
silver and gold, cattle or position, name or fame - these are
but symbols of, an expression of, an individual entity
attempting to make manifest ITS concept of ITS first creative
energy in ITS position in the universal forces. As an entity
passes on, as has been given, from this present - or THIS
solar system, THIS sun, THESE forces, it passes through the
various spheres - leading first into that central force,
through which - known as Arcturus - nearer the Pleiades,
in this passage about the various spheres - on and ON -
through the EONS of time, as called - or space - which is
ONE in the various spheres of its activity; even passing into
the inner forces, INNER sense, may they again - after a
period of nearly ten THOUSAND years - may an entity enter
into the earth to make manifest those forces gained in ITS
passage. In entering it takes on those forms that may be
known in the dimensions of that plane which it occupies,
there being not only three dimensions - as of the earth -
but there may be as seven, in Mercury - or four, in Venus -
or five, as in Jupiter. There may be only one as Mars.
There may be many more as in those of Neptune, or they may
become even as nil - until purified in Saturn's fires.
(Q) When and why did I enter the earth's plane?
(A) To make manifest, even as the entity came in contact
with that "All power given unto them in heaven and in
earth." In earth, then, as has been seen, we are GIVEN -
MEN, WOMEN - are given an OPPORTUNITY - see what you do
with it all! for having passed through all the various
developments as seen, all the various spheres of experience,
as ones who may be one WITH the first cause, or build for
themselves that which corrupteth - or that which shineth
even as the ash on fire, yet soon burneth out and is cinder.
So the soul enters in, to make manifest ITS concept of, ITS
OWN concept OF, the first cause! Being endowed with that
spark, or portion, or light, to MAKE manifest, it enters
in EARTH - where ALL, in THIS sphere, are one! Just as an
entity that leaves the earth's plane oft experiences an
interim WITHOUT the knowledge of being without that
dimension; being in a greater dimension, yet not capable of
manifesting again in its form in a third dimension, seeks to
express itself. This we see in many phases, in many manners.
Just so a SOUL enters an entity, enters with its attributes
of its soul, taking on a form, coming in the dimension of
that plane in which it finds - through its awakened forces,
by the various spheres of relativity of forces - to make
manifest ITSELF, or - as it were - it has flown out from its
source to try ITS wings, to seek ITS own doing - or undoing;
dependent upon that as has been builded, and the use it makes
of that given it.
(Q) Was my work completed in my life in India or will that
cycle return to be completed, and will I play a part?
(A) The opportunity is before you, for, as has been seen,
the entity may make for itself here quite an interesting
demonstration, which to ITSELF will bespeak that as has been
given as concerning abilities of the entity in USING the
various forces. Be WARNED - do not use to self's undoing!
but that thou mayest know, this thou mayest do! Gaze into
a crystal, in thine own conscious moments - thou may see
many of the spheres through which YOU, THYSELF, have passed.
Possibly not the first, but before the FIFTH time they will
begin to appear; for these are a portion of those same forces
studied. USED - not abused - in India, as WELL as in Egypt.
(Q) Give a brief sketch of my Egyptian life.
(A) Even as a sketch this may be LONG, but if the entity
will - as given - vision in self's own quieter moments, and
look upon those monuments as were builded in that period for
the dispensing of the various forms of the knowledge obtained
and made manifest in the lives of individuals - in most too
much a ritualistic manner, which eventually brought to many
that "Must I give this people water?" THAT attitude, that
condition - but if the entity will vision these from the
aspect of the uses made of the sacred fires, of the sacred
musics, of the sacred dances - as the entity gained the
understanding of that rhythm, and the various forms of air,
water, fire, brought INTO the experience of the mental man
and as he used same in the dispensing of this knowledge in
the various spheres to which he was sent, or went, or CHOSE
to gain counsel from those combining forces of that as was
obtained by self in the experience, and chose to match with,
or mate with the various forms of the finding of self -
expression in the other fields - then the entity may gain
something of the sojourn in this land. For, coming in as
the entity did - and taking up the various studies as they
began in the rehabitating of those places beset by the
turmoil and strife that arose from dissensions in the land
- and as the entity gained from this poor, decrepit outcast
[Ra-Ta] who returned to give counsel again to those who were
falling by the way; though fallen himself in PHYSICAL
conditions, yet the mind active - and the entity caught a
vision, then, and sought to send same forth. DO the same in
the present. We are through for the present.
