For the entity HATH developed in the experience. And the
experience has arisen to that point in the affairs such that
it may be said of the entity in the present, "NOW - what will
I do with that I have brought into my experience to the
present?" The honest dealing, the integrity, that sureness
of a belief in a divine influence in the activities of self
are noble. But LOVE thine enemies also. Do good to those
that would despitefully use thee. Not to thine own undoing;
not in that thou would revert to some of those experiences
necessary as have been in thine activity for the acclaimings,
the gainings for an opportunity. But rather let those things
of the earth, those things of materiality, be as the fruit
of, as the outcome of, well-doing in thy relationships, in
honesty, in integrity, in patience, in longsuffering, in
brotherly love. These be the manifestations of those
activities that may bring the fruits that are ennobling,
that will bring harmony and understanding.
The entity in the experience hath SEEN these as afar, or
glimpses here and there have come into the experience - but
hold fast to that thou knowest - to do good! For he that
endureth unto the end shall wear the crown of life, the crown
of glory; and find rest, peace, harmony unto the soul, and
shall hear the voice, "Come, thou good and faithful servant -
as thou hast been loyal over the few things, I will make thee
ruler over many."
Ye are gaining; ye have heard, ye have seen. But what wilt
thou do with that thus accomplished?
As to the appearances in the earth, we find that these
have been quite varied; yet they make for associations and
activities in which the entity finds those innate forces and
those directing activities as it were in the experience that
have brought about, do bring about, those close relationships
in friendships.
Before this, then, we find the entity was in the land of its
present sojourn; during those periods when there were the
first settlings in the land in that portion not far from the
present abiding place, the entity had what was called then
the frontier trading post - with those peoples of the north
land, those peoples of the western and those peoples of the
plains below same.
There the entity made for a trading post as pertained to
furs, pelts, skins of various characters and kinds.
Hence the sojourn and activity made for associations with
a great number of what would be termed in the present
QUESTIONABLE individuals. Yet with those of the native land,
with those whom the entity dealt, EVER was the entity's
activity - as Samuel Gainsay - such that his word was as a
bond, as an experience to all with whom the entity dealt.
The END in that experience was rather severe, as would be
termed from present classification.
And beware in the fifty-second year of an accident.
In the experience the entity gained. Though the dealings
brought greater glory in the material, the basis of these was
founded in friendship, in brotherly love, in sincerity, in
truth.
Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as
the upper portion of what is called the Ukraine, or in that
land of Zulencaie.
In that experience we find the entity was among those peoples
that, with the activities from the Carpathians, the Grecians,
the Romans, drew up the activities that made for a settling
in the land of those forces and influences wherein not only
the fruits of the land were a portion of same but it became
as a place of exchange, a place where there were those
activities that made for not only a development in the moral
and spiritual life but in the commercial and economic life
for those peoples. And the entity had much to do with those
activities in that particular experience.
And out from those centers went many that did much to aid
in establishing in the Bosporus, in the Dardanelles as now
called - or in Athens, a ruling that even made for the
CLASSICAL (as termed now) reactions in MATERIAL changes for
body, mind, and the preparations of individuals DWELLING
together in peace.
The name then, as would be termed in this land or these
words, was Bulbus Cleveleon.
As to the activities in the present from that sojourn,
we will find that those relationships as to dress, those
relationships as to styles, those relationships as to
individuals' adorning of self, become as a portion of the
entity's experience. And as these were gainful, not only in
the material but in the mental and spiritual, these are WELL
to hold to in the present.
Before that we find the entity was in the now known Persian
land, when there were those returnings for those peoples of
Judah to the city of Zion, when there were the gatherings of
those under Zerubbabel for the journeys back for their
activity.
The entity then was among those peoples who aided in the
first upbuilding of the temple activity. And many of those
things that became as of hearsay, as of tradition, as of the
gatherings of those things that made for the activities as
they were renewed, came through the hands of the entity then
- in the name Adajar.
In the experience the entity gained; and the entity lost when
those things that were turned into that for self-indulgence
were such that privileges were sold to individuals for
conveniences and satisfying of forces within self - these
eventually brought destructive forces in the experience.
Hence we may find in the experience of the entity in the
present those periods when duty and the religion, earthly
gains and the law of the innate self, clash. But hold fast
to that which is the Law of One, that ye may know in truth -
as has been given - that house, that temple, that soul that
finds itself divided against itself becomes one of turmoil.
And what gaineth a man though he gain the whole world in
fame or fortune and hath lost his own rest, his own peace,
his own soul?
Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, as
now known, during those periods when there were the enterings
of those from the nomad land - or the Palestine or Persian
land.
The entity then was among the natives that were in power,
in authority; a ruler under the king of the land in the
northernmost portion.
With the entrance of these tribes or these peoples or groups,
the entity joined heartily in - for there came the ideal for
that which would make for an easy experience, that would
furnish the supply of the material needs without material
activity.
And these brought for the time being a pleasant MATERIAL
surrounding, yet the end - as would ever - turned upon the
entity.
In the name then Ju-She-Pit.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and
that to which it may attain and how:
In those fields of activity materially that have to do with
bodily adornment, those of furs or skins or things that have
to do with a temple service or a temple worship. THESE are
the fields of activity of the NATURAL tend or intents of the
entity's own inner development.
In the mental, find that in which thou hast and doth believe,
and in which there may be the giving of not only the material
but the mental and spiritual self for safe keeping; in those
places, in those experiences where moth and rust doth not
corrupt, where thieves nor those that would make afraid may
not enter in - but where the soul knoweth in whom it has
believed, and knowing that it is able to keep - through that
measure that ye mete to thy fellow man day by day - against
ANY experience, ANY turmoil that may arise.
And ye shall find harmony and hope, ye shall find satisfyings
for the heart's longings in such.
We are through for the present.
