This also makes for those influences that have come into the
experience of the entity, as in those years of the teen ages
of the entity - especially in those periods when the entity,
in the thirteenth to sixteenth year, had visions that were to
the entity not wholly understood; yet brought emotions from
within that yet remain within the entity in its inner self as
visions of floating upon clouds, visions as of being in the
storms that waged about self. These were particularly in
those years of 1885-
6-7 and 8, and made for lasting
influences; making for the interest that has been and is
aroused in the mysterious, spiritual influence, spiritual
import, occult and mystic influences. These are as a portion
of the entity. And the entity might have applied self, or
may apply self in these directions as a channel - rather than
a medium; one who may turn within and record in the conscious
self much of what the soul may experience in its communion
with the outer influences that are yet ever so near. For in
the mind of man in material world those things that bespeak
of the inter-between are as being without, when they - the
spiritual forces - are the closer, ever, with all. These,
the entity has found, have brought periods of doubts and
fears, longings and hopes; periods when oppression arose, or
when the entity was evilspoken of by those that understood
not. Yet they have brought to the entity, in its developing
through these expressions in this experience, a longing more
and more to know and experience within self the gracious
influences of the spiritual life.
The influences from Venus we find have brought rather the
unusual experiences in the relationships with those of its
own sex, as well as the other; making for periods - with the
Uranian activities - when there have been, according to the
entity's training or experiences, peculiar relationships.
Yet also there have been periods when friendships have stood
for much more than the associations that through the material
love should have been the duties or material obligations; for
friendships have stood for much in the experience. These
have been as innate; these have been as experiences in the
MENTAL and inner self of the entity through this sojourn as
[
884].
For the Martian influences, through the changes in the
activities among men in war, in wrath, in blood even, have
brought changes for the entity, in the experience rather as
oft from without, as it might appear. Yet the entity will
find, if it turns within, these have had their portion in the
experience in making opportunities for self-development,
self-expression that others - too - might know of those
wondrous experiences of self in knowing the inner influences
that guide for those directing influence in the souls of men!
Mercury with Neptune has brought the HEALING influences in
the experience. And during those years of vision if the
entity had grasped, as it were, with even those harsh things
being said by others, the abilities for the greater healing
might have been in the experience for years in this sojourn.
Yet in the present, if the entity holds to those promises
that have been made, there may be brought in the experience
during this year - and especially in this particular year,
and for a period to come - the greater abilities for not only
the laying on of hands but the abilities to analyze, to give
to others much that to them may be as mysterious, yet will
make for the awareness in their experience of the greater
forces of the infinite working in and through the children of
men.
As to the sojourns in the earth and those that make for the
influences upon the entity in the present, we find:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, among the peoples of this particular land when
there were the incomings of others that made the greater
changes that were coming about in the experiences not only of
those peoples but a returning and a making for the activities
through the children of Belial that had escaped to the lands,
and the children of the Law of One that were coming again
into the closer relationships and contacts with these -
through material things.
The entity then was a princess of the tribes of Powhatan,
chief of many nations. Then in the name Narwaua (or Nancen)
[?], the entity made for the closer relationships with the
peoples that came to that particular portion of the entity's
sojourning or abiding. And aid, help and strength came to
the entity, and to those about the entity; not only in the
healings but in how there was the use of those things from
the field, the forest, the ground, the air, and their
combinations, that might make for the changing or the meeting
of the various experiences in health, accident, or in the
expressions of same in the bodies of men. Not as a medicine
man, but rather as one that aided in the gathering of the
herbs of the field and the forest for the use of those things
pertaining to the healing arts.
During that sojourn the entity made for material and mental
advancement, yet in the latter portion of same the grudges -
that were as conscience-built in the experience of the
entity's people - made for turmoils and strifes that brought
disorder and dissension to the entity's surroundings at the
period. Yet the innate forces, the soul forces of the
entity, advanced through the sojourn.
In the present from that sojourn may be seen the innate
feelings of the entity especially as related to races, those
things that make for the exchange of ideas in the experiences
of individuals grown or reared under their varied
environments. Yet the entity is able to make for, in the
experience of self, a better understanding than is
ordinarily experienced in those that had little or nothing
of such a sojourn.
Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as
the Roman, during those periods when there were those that
were returning from other lands when the whole of the world -
as it were - had been turned upside down by the teachings of
those that had followed the lowly Nazarene.
The entity then was among those of the household of Cyrenius
of the centurions that were in charge of some of those
disciples and apostles that were entombed or jailed in the
Roman periods just after those changes that were brought
about by the new order of things under the Caesar that
followed after Augustus.
And the entity listened oft to those psalms and songs of
those that gathered for the making of praise; even for the
bonds of the flesh, but for that which had released the
spirit and soul of the speaker or the singer in the glorying
of self being redeemed through those things that had been
promised to Him and by Him that had opened the tomb and had
spoken again to His fellows, to those of His brethren.
In the latter portion of its sojourn there, as Anniaus, the
entity accepted those teachings and gave out to others what
became a portion of her own experience in those things that
had made for an arousing of an awareness in the experience of
the entity. For the visions came, and were seen; and the
healing influences that came with those visions enabled the
entity to quiet the fears of the little ones, to relieve the
temperatures in the bodies of those that were aroused not
only by passion but by the poisons of those influences from
the impurities that were taken within. The fevers of certain
types responded to the gentleness of Anniaus as she worked in
and among those of her own people; suffering in body only
when the greater persecutions came, yet her own household
became one that many resorted to for the encouraging
influences that were ever about the activities of the entity.
In the present there have been those experiences when the
revival of those things, whether proclaimed by those that
spoke from the heart or the soul of them or those that spoke
from the lips only, has caused the entity to be raised in
ecstasy at times to those teachings. Yet there was oft that
which answered not to the desires of the heart, for it either
stopped short or proclaimed that which answered not as the
entity had experienced there.
Before that we find the entity was in what is now known as
the Egyptian land, during those experiences when there were
those being sent as the emissaries for the peoples in the
various lands; where there had been and were the attempts to
correlate the teachings of those in various portions of that
eastern land.
The entity was among those that aided in the establishing of
that in the Persian land, which later became as the tenets of
that people from whom - many ages later - Melchisedek came.
And the entity finds that when this is said within its inner
self there is a response which makes for an opening of the
greater promises from within; M-e-l-c-h-i-s-e-d-e-k, the
great-great grandson of the entity, who came as without days,
as without father or mother, yet as in desire of the entity
that - as Sususus - created or begun the condition through
its efforts. For it brought into the associations of those
with whom the entity labored that which would make for peace,
harmony; glorying in the acceptance of the truths from the
Infinite - as it may express itself in the finite minds of
men.
In the present there may be seen, from that sojourn, the
longing - and longing - and longing - for experiences within
self that would answer for that something which apparently
has not answered as yet.
Take upon thyself those emblems as thou used in that day; the
rod - as may blossom into the understandings of truths - just
a plain small copper rod, rubbed upon the essence from the
trees - the gum of same - will make for a raising within self
of the vibrations that will answer to a cleansing of self for
those periods of meditation that will open up before thee.
Before that we find the entity was in that land now known or
spoken of as the Atlantean, during those days when there were
the attempts of those to bring quiet, to bring order out of
chaos by the destructive forces that had made for the
eruptions in the land that had divided the lands and had
changed not only the temperate but to a more torrid region by
the shifting of the activities of the earth itself.
The entity then was among the princesses of those peoples
when there were the divisions of those that were to be the
rulers, those that were to be the laborers, those that were
to administer the rulings of the ruler upon those that would
be ruled.
Being among the princesses of him that made for the rulings
over the land at the time, in the name Ahasus, the entity
made for that of bringing to her own peoples the greater
understandings, and especially those that had followed in the
way of the Law of One - or that manifested in the present as
the Christ Consciousness, or the sons of Adam that had joined
themselves with the sons of God, and as the sons of Adam that
- with Amilius - had made the records of those things whereby
there might be the cleansing of the body from the pollutions
of the world, or of the animal kingdom.
The entity aided in bringing not only material gains but the
glories of the experience builded in the experience much of
the abilities for purifying through harmonious music - those
harmonious influences that were a portion of the entity's
activities later in its Persian sojourn.
And in the present, even, there may be brought the greater
regenerations for the body, the mind and the soul of the
entity.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and
that to which it may attain, and how:
The greater soul development may come by and through the
meditation upon those influences that prompt the inner man.
And with it there may be brought forth those powers not of
divinations as of the world, but rather the application
within self that may bring healing and health and aid to
those that are sad in heart, weak in body, who are troubled
in spirit. For these need - yea, seek - as the children of
light - for a way, a path, to greater understanding.
Know then, in self, that thy Redeemer liveth. This thou hast
seen in many of thy sojourns and thine activities in the
earth; those things that made for the manifestations of His
saving influence in the earth. So, teach it to thy fellow
man.
Ready for questions.
(Q) For what life work am I best fitted for a livelihood?
(A) Healing!
(Q) How should the body undertake this study?
(A) As just iterated and iterated and iterated! First know
in self, raising those powers within self, that spiritual
healing may be the activities of the entity. Not through
powers of any save of Him as the Savior of men!
(Q) What should I do regarding the suit which has been filed
by my lawyer for damages as a result of an accident?
(A) Press same. Press same. Not as of other than justice
to those that wantonly made for the experiences that bereft
the body in part from those things that are material
necessities; but in love seek the ways for mediation, for
these will be the proper manner.
(Q) What particular music will be of the most help to the
entity? What type?
(A) That as comes from chimes - as rods, as of that nature -
that makes for the uuuuuuuuummm through the vibrations of
same.
We are through for the present.
