TEXT

GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [1223] nee [...] born October 21, 1906, in Troy, North Carolina, and the earthly existence of this entity as Morao, among the families in Bethsaida, being one who often aided in bringing pleasure and comfort to the tired man Jesus. You will give the biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions she submits, as I ask them, concerning the associations in the present from that period and the manner of making practical application of the truths gained.
EC: Yes - yes, we are given again the records of the entity now known as or called [1223].
In giving an interpretation of the experiences of the entity in the earth's plane in the Holy Land, and in those periods especially when the Master walked in the earth, something of the happenings of the experiences, of the associations, must be interpreted if this information would be used or applied in the present experience of the entity.
Bethsaida was among the places often visited by the Master, as it was among the peoples of this place where the Master liked to rest.
The entity, as indicated, was in the teen-age years when first becoming acquainted with the tenets and teachings of the Master. The entity was an acquaintance of Peter, Andrew, James and John. Because of the entity's parent, the father being associated with those in their activities upon the sea in those relationships then, the entity was acquainted with Peter's mother-in-law who was healed in the early ministry of the Master. And during the Master's sojourning in Bethsaida in the periods when He preached by the seashore, as well as when He rested, the entity knew of and was acquainted personally with the Master. Oft the entity sought to make the things, the conditions, more comfortable for the Master; and thus may it be said that the entity became so closely associated with Jesus as to call Him by His name, Jesus, not Master until after His crucifixion.
In the experiences the entity not only then talked with but questioned the Master; and thus those tenets, the teachings that the Master gave as to friendships, associations, forgiveness, the lack of common gossip about others, were those warnings which were a portion of the experience with Jesus of Nazareth by the entity, Morao.
So, when there came about those periods when the Disciples were scattered because of the happenings in Jerusalem after the Resurrection, the entity was known as one who would aid, did aid in the ministering to the needs of the ministers, preachers or saints, as they are commonly termed, who were the active ones in the Christian ministry after His Resurrection. Thus the entity became so imbued with those tenets, those teachings, that little may be said as to how great were the ideals, how great was the love of the entity for those ideals. How great the desire and purpose of the entity in telling the stories of, encouraging others by, those direct experiences the entity had with the Master.
These, then, applied in the present, come to that as has been indicated. If the entity will read or study or analyze how the Master treated children, young people, during His ministry in the earth, it will be seen how oft He used children, the young people, as the hope of the world, as to how unless each individual puts away those selfish desires which arise and becomes as little children, one may never quite understand the simplicity of Christ's faith; Christ-like faith, Christ-like simplicity, Christ-like forgiveness, Christ-like love, Christ-like helpfulness to others. For the entity gained these through those experiences.
In the present, analyze these; and aid in ministering such to the young as a teacher, as an interpreter, as a helper for those of the young who seek to know, to interpret, to apply such in their experience.
Yes, even learn how to interpret to children as to how an individual may pass the collection plate in church on Sunday and swear like a sailor on Monday. Both are of God, one in the right direction, one in the opposite. These ye learned at the Master's feet. Keep that implicit faith which ye had through that experience.
The entity was known among the Holy Women, even to a great age. Married, yes, during those experiences, to one Turteltus of the Roman peoples.
We are through.
