TEXT

1. EC: (Going back over years to 1925, when first Life Reading was given.) Yes, we have the records of the entity here; these we have had before, and those relations with the universe and universal forces; that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity.
2. These have been given as to the relationships, as to the appearances in the earth's plane.
3. As to the application of those influences that have to do with an entity making for developments, it depends upon the choice or the application of self in keeping with the ideal - if the ideal then is of the Creative Forces that may bring into the experience the more and more awareness of the oneness of the soul, of the entity, to Creative Forces.
4. Hence as we find varied experiences in the entity's sojourn become more and more applicable in the experience of an entity, just as in the material-mental world the relationships to mathematics become more activative when same are used, or when there is in the experience its application as to its fellow man as regarding spiritual laws of which the entity is aware in the experience.
5. So as each entity enters the earth plane for experiences that may make for that awareness of the soul's unity or oneness with the Creative Forces as these are applied, so do the experiences in the earth become more and more a part of the ENTITY'S activity.
6. The entity in the present finds those influences from the experience in the Crusades the more active, and the activities in the land of the stranger or the alien. These become then as the experiences of the entity in the immediate. And in the next three to five years it will be found that the entity will be in relationships to those individuals with which the entity was associated in the activity of the mental, that made for and that bring to the entity confusions in the present. For the entity as ever is an optimist, looking upon the bright side, persuading self even in the face of confusion that all will be well. Yet it finds self becoming at times rather morose, rather tending to make for the moment seeing only the dark side; confusions as to the relationships in the spiritual life, as to the material associations. Yet as has been indicated for the entity, whatever relationships the entity may have with others it should ever be as the salesman that will bring to the individual the material as well as the physical and mental assistance. Such are the relationships through which the entity may find the greater satisfaction, the greater relationships.
7. While in the material relationships with individuals it will be found that as soon as there is the settling within self as to the associations, as to the relationships in the material world, these will bring not only greater obligations but greater joy, the greater expression of self for material, mental, spiritual welfare of the entity in all its relationships. For the surety of an individual then makes for that as is a stay, that is as an armor to the mental as well as the spiritual self in its dealings with conditions that as in the experience of the entity in that sojourn made for not only the mental and spiritual but material relationships.
8. Hence those activities, those associations always bring to the entity the material, the mental, the WHOLE of the entity's activity an assurance, as it were, and the less there will be of confusion, of those conditions that are as disturbing forces in the experience of the entity.
9. In those activities following such relationships, there will come more and more of those sojourns of the entity in the earth not given, through the closer associations with the greater expansions of the entity in the DETERMINED forces, the DETERMINED activities, as in the Egyptian experience through those periods when there were the influences that made for not only the establishing of the healing forces but the correlating of same in those activities that brought about the establishing of same in those activities that brought about the establishing of what would in the present be termed hospitalizations - in those lands where the developments of the mental and the material were making for the closer relationships of the spiritual with the physical activities of man.
10. The entity then was among those, or that one who might be said to have supervised the establishing of same in the land of Saneid, in the land of On (?), in the Gobi, in the Carpathian land, in the Pyrenees. All of these were as a portion to which the entity went then or lent its associations, in its establishings. And as has been indicated, it became necessary from not only the material but from the spiritual sources for the entity to be, to act in the capacity of, the salesman to induce those to find that not by the casting out, by chant, or by fires or by waters, but by the use of the influences of all of these in their proper relationships to the elemental forces as they relate to the physical being of a soul's sojourn in a material experience.
11. So in the present application these will also become as a portion of the entity's activities.
12. Hence those things that have to do with the healing forces; or making application in those directions in the sales end or distributing end, or those things that may aid in those activities in such relationships will be a portion of the entity's activity to bring material, bring material-mental, and the greater physical and spiritual relationships.
13. Let the entity find first as these:
14. KNOW in whom, in what thou hast believed; choosing thy guide, thy standard, in that influence that may bring creative influences in the experience. And then, as ye do it to thy fellow man day by day ye do it to THY Maker. For this is the law, this is the whole gospel, as He has given; love the Lord, eschew evil, do unto thy neighbor as you would have thy neighbor do unto thee - this is the whole law. KEEP same in thy experience day by day, and as ye come to know more and more the experiences of those promises as He hath given, as ye ask ye shall find, as ye knock it shall be opened unto you. For if ye ask in His name, He is just, He is merciful, He is patient. Be THOU likewise.
15. For in so doing ye may come to know the love of the Master through those promises He hath given in thine own experience, that ye may know the purposes of thy sojourn in any experience.
16. For the Lord is not lax in His judgements, neither in His honoring to those that love His coming.
17. Keep the faith.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What field of selling should I enter?
    (A) Those as indicated that have to do more and more with the individual usages, as in hardware or in the relationships of individuals for hospitalization or for healing forces as to individuals and their relationships in groups, masses or individuals. These are the greater field of activity for the entity.
20. (Q) What causes the periods of vagueness of thinking and my mind's inability to concentrate on a subject and analyze it accurately, and how can I remedy this condition?
    (A) As has been indicated, inasmuch as those periods from those sojourns in the Mesopotamia were when the body had an ideal - and through the relationships of individuals these became confused, as these relationships bear in their material experiences to the entity's activity in the present they bring those periods as indicated. When there is a consummation then of the relationships through those experiences, those periods, and there begins to be as has been indicated the greater obligations, the greater experiences, the greater advantages for the development of the consecrated forces for definite purposes and to definite ends, these become a part of the entity's experience.
    Then the way to make for these would be passing through those experiences through which those relationships become the closer established, that there may be the greater obligations, the greater activity, the greater necessities. Then straight thinking and acting becomes a part of the entity's experience.
21. (Q) When would be the best time for me to get married?
    (A) Today or tomorrow, or as soon as it might.
22. (Q) Any advice regarding this contemplated marriage?
    (A) It's been all given as almost as regarding these, as there are a portion of the experience and must become a part of the activity for the greater development of the body-mind AND experiences through the sojourn in the present activity.
    Let the law of the Lord be thy guide day by day, that there may be in ALL of thy relationships NO regrets.
23. We are through for the present.
