(Q) Give spiritual help to develop the psychic powers, which
will enable me to become a fitting channel for God's work,
now.
(A) In the application of that which has been the experience
of a soul through sojourns in the earth, these should not be
taken only for their historical setting; nor for their
historic value, save as to the conditions that were manifest
in a material plane through such an experience and what an
entity's, a soul's, activity was and how same makes for urges
in the present.
For, the application of spiritual laws or psychic law that
pertains to a soul-entity in its activity in the material
atmosphere or environ, is not only peculiar unto itself but
there is seen in the application of the material attributes
of a physical body that which may be a shadow or outline for
that pertaining to soul development.
As indicated or sought for here, as related to the activities
of this soul, this entity, that may be applicable in the
experience of the entity for development of self towards the
application of psychic or spirit law in the present:
That which a conscious mind does with pleasure becomes a part
of the entity's personality.
Then, the natural question in gaining an appreciation of that
which may be helpful in the developing of a soul-entity would
be, what is personality of a soul?
The understanding of a body in the material environs as to
the laws of a particular experience, making for that termed
as sincerity of the entity, of the soul, pertaining to the
law that is known, is the soul's personality. Think on that!
In relation, then, to the entity; as sought:
As the entity in the present makes the application, or sets
in motion the experiences of self in its contact with those
influences that may be contacted in its association,
relation, environ, in its walk through the experience, so
will the growth be; so will there be unfolded to the entity
those experiences throughout its own appearances, not as to
the histology or the genealogical conditions but that which
is much deeper - or that known as individuality. And so does
growth come.
Or, as we have given as to how a soul becomes conscious,
aware, of its contact with the universal-cosmic-God-Creative
forces in its experience; by feeding upon the food, the
fruits, the results of spirit, of God, of Life, of Reality:
Love, hope, kindness, gentleness, brotherly love, patience.
THESE make for the awareness in the soul of its relationship
to the Creative force that is manifest in self, in the ego,
in the I AM of each soul, and of I AM THAT I AM.
So may the entity, the soul of THIS entity, become aware -
through meditating upon those understandings, those truths
that are as examples, as witnesses in the earth and its
environs - of THAT which magnifies the Spirit in the earth of
the first manifestation that man calls God and His holy
angels.
(Q) Give a prayer to awaken the best in me now.
(A) SO LET MY LIFE NOW SHINE UNTO OTHERS THAT THEY MAY KNOW
THAT THOU, O GOD, WOULD SPEAK AND MEET THOSE I MEET DAY BY
DAY.
CREATE IN ME A PURE HEART. RENEW A RIGHTEOUS SOUL WITHIN ME,
O GOD!
(Q) Was the entity the one that, at the completion of the
pyramid, clanged the sheet of metal? [See
294-131,
10-A--12-A,
1/25/32 in re [
378].]
(A) Clanged the sheet of metal at the completion of Gizeh,
that sealed the records in the tomb yet to be discovered.
(Q) Please describe incident and ceremony.
(A) This is rather unreasonable, and may be best given with
the entity present; for it would prolong much at the sitting
here.
The apex (that has been long since removed by the sons of
Heth [?] [Gen. 10:15.]), the crown or apex, was of metal;
that was to be indestructible, being of copper, brass and
gold with other alloys that were prepared by those of the
period.
And, as this was to be (Gizeh we are speaking of) the place
for the initiates and their gaining by personal application,
and by the journey or journeys through the various
activities - as in the ceremonial actions of those that
became initiates, it became very fitting (to those as in Ra,
and those of Ra-Ta Ra) that there should be the crowning or
placing of this symbol of the record, and of the initiates'
place of activity, by one who represented both the old and
the new; one representing then the Sons of the Law in
Atlantis, Lemuria, Oz and Og. So, he that keeps the record,
that keeps shut, or Hept-supht, was made or chosen as the
one to seal that in the tomb.
The ceremony was long; the clanging of the apex by the gavel
that was used in the sounding of the placing. Hence there
has arisen from this ceremony many of those things that may
be seen in the present; as the call to prayer, the church
bell in the present, may be termed a descendant; the sounding
of the trumpet as the call to arms, or that as revelry; the
sound as of those that make for mourning, in the putting away
of the body; the sounding as of ringing in the new year, the
sounding as of the coming of the bridegroom; all have their
inception from the sound that was made that kept the earth's
record of the earth's building, as to that from the change.
The old record in Gizeh is from that as recorded from the
journey to Pyrenees; and to 1998 from the death of the Son of
Man (as a man).
We are through for the present.
