In entering the present experience, we find the astrological
aspects meaning little in the experience save as innate
urges; yet these have been applied in such manners in the
present as to make the astrological alone mean but little.
For, as has been indicated oft, it is not knowledge alone,
not understanding even alone, but the application of the
opportunities that present themselves, which makes for the
destinies, makes for those conditions that arise in the
experience of each soul. It is not that the law alone is set
and then the soul set adrift upon the sea of time or space,
but the ever abiding presence of the love of the Maker for
the creature abides - if it will but turn to same for its
sorrows, its gladness, its hopes, its fears. For in Him is
love indeed, and it casteth out fear.
The astrological aspects, then, make for rather that as may
have been, but in the application the entity has met much in
its associations, in that it has met much in itself; not as
a condemnation, but rather as that wherein the expression of
self has given those whom the entity has contacted a glimpse
of that which has made hopefulness, faithfulness, sincerity,
verity, and virtue, as those things that are so much a
portion of the soul and spiritual self that the entity to
many is as a mystery - yet, as all beautiful things to the
human mind, remains something to be sought.
As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those that
affect or come as urges in the emotional forces of the
entity, we find - while not great in number - the soul's
activity has oft been in such ways and manners as to bring
definite urges in the present, as well as abilities.
Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, when there were turmoils and strifes in the land,
as respecting the natives' activities, as respecting the
French (for the entity then was of the French descent), and
those activities that were made between the English-speaking,
the French-speaking, and the natives.
The entity then was of the household of a ruler or landowner,
Laskazar (Madge was the name), and aided much in making for -
the helpfulness to those that had espoused the cause of the
defense of the land, and in making interpretations for those
of many tongues, many groups of varied activities, many
groups under varied conditions that - to them in their
experience - meant their hopes, their firesides, their homes,
their aspirations, their desires in what to them was the new
yet a very definite purpose in their activity.
Through the greater portion of the experience the entity
gained, in making for the helpfulness in the teachings, in
the assisting of those that were fearful as to their own
personal safety and as to their homes and as to their own
political as well as their own economic and their own
national activities.
In the present we find the abilities from same in making
for the coordination of whatever the environment; the entity
may make - for an easing of situations for many that are
strained - whether in the social side of the experience, in
the economic, in the political, in those that would be social
climbers, or in those that would have social aspirations that
are out of question or even line. The entity in any clime,
among any people, makes for that ease of the personal speech,
the personal application of the niceties of experience. Also
it brings for the entity the love of travel, the love of
unusual associations, unusual experiences. And the FEARS
only arise from that as arose from those experiences, whether
it be right in the stand as taken or not.
Before that we find the entity was in the Arabian and Persian
land, when in the city in the hills and in the plains the
Grecian peoples (of which the entity was a portion) came -
first curious, and to establish, as it were, the commercial
relationships with those peoples in that city to which had
come so many from so many lands.
The entity then was among those of the real basis, or the
real brains - as would be called - of those Grecian peoples;
beautiful in body, in mind, and in application of same. Yet
under the teachings of those in that new land the entity
changed much, becoming rather closely associated in the
records of those conditions that made for the application
of the tenets to the peoples of many lands. Hence in the
present the entity may find languages, experiences of
individuals of all climes, not only of interest but the
ability of the entity to help those that are stumbling in
their associations and activities in such experiences and
such relationships. So, there is rather the ability to be
diplomatic in its relationships with others; not only in the
home, not only in the social aspects, but in affairs of
state, affairs of country, affairs of the various lands.
These become as a portion of the entity's abilities from
such an experience. Yet those tenets as gained there have
made for that urge which arises oft in the innate experience
of the entity for those that are the basic promptings of
activities of those whom the entity may meet. Also the
entity is rather a judge of human nature, or of the
promptings of individuals.
The name then was Edesse.
Before that we find the entity was in that now known as
the Egyptian land, among those peoples that were of the
priestesses from the Atlantean land. The entity came and
made for much disturbance among those peoples in the Egyptian
land. For the entity attempted to establish self as a
priestess there, making for first the attempts to use the
powers as had the sons of Belial in the Atlantean and
Poseidian land. Yet, with the activative forces of the
Priest and those that were of the Temple of Sacrifice and
Temple Beautiful activities, and leaders in same, and where
the associations of the present companion of the entity
became so strong, there were the regenerations brought about.
For those applications made for the disseminations of the
truths rather in the teachings as propounded or given by the
Priest and associates in that particular experience.
So, during the first portion of the entity's sojourn it
lost; during the latter portion it gained much in the
activities and in the associations with the peoples of that
land as well as of many another.
The name then was Checho.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that
to which it may attain, and how:
In those things that pertain to teaching, story telling,
furnishing illustrations of this or that as a beautiful
conversationalist, or in aiding in the records that may be
had for any where there is the necessity for detail, the
entity may make application of self.
And remember much that was gained in Edesse in the Persian
and Arabian land; that there are the soul's activities from
without as well as from within. For thy spirit beareth
witness with His Spirit, whether ye be in accord, in attune
in at-oneness with that which is ever constructive and
creative in thine own experience.
Study, then, to show thyself approved upon those promptings
that come from meeting the divine within, that is of self,
that is self - if it is made one with Him, that gives Life,
Light, Immortality to the very being, the very soul of each
entity; being one with Him, yet knowing thyself to be of Him.
Keep the way. Know in whom thou hast believed, and that He
is able to keep that ye commit into His care. For His
promises are sure.
Ready for questions.
(Q) In what way can I best cooperate with my husband in
carrying out his life work?
(A) In supplying the conversation oft in those aids of
helping others find themselves; in supplying oft that as the
illustration in the various associations or mind's activity
from its varied angles of its surroundings or its impelling
influence. Teaching others to listen, to harken. These may
offer the better channels in which the greater service may be
rendered, and in which the greater contentment may come in
thine own experience.
(Q) In what way can I best serve God and fulfil the real
purpose of my life?
(A) Studying to show thyself approved into Him, rightly
divining the words of truth, keeping self unspotted from the
world. Use that ability thou hast in hand and the next step,
my child, is given thee.
We are through for the present.
