TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called Miss [1431].
2. Well named, and in keeping with the vibrations, the activities and that which will be helpful in the developing abilities that are latent in the entity's experience.
3. In giving the interpretation of the records, we find these are given with the purpose of a constructiveness for the developing of the mental and spiritual influences, which are the creative energies in the experience of an entity.
4. That which is activative in the experience of a constructive nature is necessarily and primarily GROWTH, That which is of a selfish or a self-indulgent nature, or for self-aggrandizement, is destructive; and is naturally then disintegrating in the experience of an entity.
5. These as we find, in drawing a comparison from the astrological urges or the sojourns of the entity in the environs about the earth and the appearances in the material plane, make for these - but irrespective of will - as urges latent and manifested in the mental and the emotional forces of the entity.
6. The inclination for confusion oft arises in the experience, for the urges that arise from the psychic experiences of the entity - while making for a balance also - confuse.
7. Know then in WHOM as well as in what you put your trust.
8. The activities as we find make for the inclination or desire for the gratifying of material activities, as a social life - yet NOT a social climber. There's quite a variation in these, for one may be constructive and the other destructive in the experience.
9. The home life, rather than the career, will be the greater source of activity of the entity for constructive experience.
10. A developing of the activities in psychic forces and psychic influences for HOME activity would be the better for the body, or the entity.
11. The desire for travel, desire for change of scene and environ, will necessarily come with the varied experiences of the entity, and will become in a portion of the present experience a part of the activity - unless there are the activities of WILL that prevent such from being the experience.
12. More of the tropical activities than those of the extremes in the experience - or below the equator.
13. In the astrological activities that produce or bring about these experiences as innate, we find Uranus, Neptune, Saturn as ruling influences; which make for the interest in yet the fear of occult and mystic forces. But rather if there is the activity and the expression of the PSYCHIC, rather than occult OR mystic, we may find greater development, greater experiences for the entity.
14. For in Uranus we find the extremes, and when the entity is very good it's very, VERY good; when it's bad, it's awful! These become EXTREMES then in the experience.
15. Those then of the experience must be tempered rather with the activities that come from environmental as well as the expressions of the Venus influence.
16. While the Venus influences are latent, these should find the greater expression; else the urges as from Saturn would make for the entity having MANY homes, or many marriages - and these are NOT well in the experience if there are to be the developments.
17. For consistency and persistency are the sister of patience; patience the entity needs to learn as its lesson in this experience.
18. Patience naturally makes for turmoils for an individual or entity so strong under the influence of the Uranian forces, but these periods of benevolent activities in the Uranian, the Venus and the Jupiterian, when in adverse influence to Saturn, will make for periods when decisions had best be made.
19. These as we find should come in 1938, 1942 and 1954.
20. A long life for the entity in the experience unless COLD lands are a part of the entity's sojourn or experiences.
21. As to the influences for the activities from the emotional forces, or from the appearances in the earth, we find these arise from these as the latent urges in the present.
22. Before this we find the entity was in the Norse land, during those experiences when there were the journeyings of many to what is now the land of the entity's nativity.
23. The entity then was in the name of Patricia Hellenwurt.
24. In the experience the entity MENTALLY suffered much, waiting waiting for those that had been as the experience through which much of those activities were to make for the material sojourns or activities in that experience.
25. For the entity was betrothed to Eric the Red, and yet was left in the land.
26. Hence there is the disposition for the entity to oft find disappointments with its experiences or its associations with those of the opposite sex. Though there is not an abhorrence to same, there are those doubts and fears and questionings of the activities and purposes.
27. Remember that these arise from the emotional. If these are judged rather from that which is the IDEAL of those associations, then there will come a much better understanding with those of the opposite sex.
28. Again we find the doubts and the fears as from the environmental forces and surroundings.
29. Hence again periods come when, with the astrological influences, the entity so oft gives expressions to others as well as to self, "O, what's the use - it doesn't make much difference anyway!"
30. These come from the lack of the emotional forces as from those experiences in the Norse land, or Norway.
31. In the experience the entity gained and lost and gained.
32. Hence as has been indicated, the lessons learned - and the lack of patience - makes for those which if applied in the present may become stepping-stones for greater development for the entity.
33. Types of music may be a part of the entity's experience, but rather pipes than strings; and any type of horn or reed the entity may easily learn to play.
34. Before that we find the entity was in that land during the period when there were the changes being wrought in the activities of the social, the political and the religious world; by the activities of those who had been a part of that experience - or when the disciples and Apostles were scattered abroad.
35. The entity then was among those of the Arab land, and to whose household Andrew and James came during those first periods of the activities. This was James the less, NOT the brother of John but the brother of the Lord, that came in those activities - and the entity learned much of those from those experiences.
36. And also there came confusions by the very activities of the plain life, and that as experienced by the Apostles when visions and dreams and the quieter moments became as a part of their teachings and their activities in their relationships and dealings with others.
37. The entity then was in the name Patience - or, as termed then, Ullen (Patience) - Jhengo.
38. In the experience the entity gained through the greater part of the activity, even though there were those disturbing forces by the variations in the teachings of the entity's peoples and those that were embraced by the entity from the teachings of those who were as companions as well as visitors and friends to the entity during the period.
39. After the departure and the changes, the entity sought to follow in the way; and only in the latter portion of the periods between twenty-five and thirty years of age did the entity journey to the city where the disciples' teachings were than a part of the activities.
40. Then the entity saw the persecutions, which it embraced; and very much more of terms and manners than that which had been of the nature where scorn had been a part of the entity's activity in its own surroundings.
41. Hence the entity came to be looked upon as one that from those without had embraced and manifested those teachings in its experiences, and its life was among those peoples in Jerusalem as an exemplary one to be followed and sought after in its dealings with its fellow man.
42. The culinary arts, the abilities with the needle, the activities of the household, the desires to minister to those as home building, arise from those experiences; though the entity only enjoyed it occasionally, for many changes were in the experiences of the dwelling of the entity during that sojourn. Yet much may be gained from the lessons innately and manifestedly as urges from the experience; particularly the innate urges for meditations that bring spiritual, inspirational activities in the experience of the entity.
43. Before that we find the entity was in the land nigh unto the entity's experience in the period just given, in the 'city in the hills and in the plains' during those periods when there were the gatherings of many from the Grecian land, the Indian land, the Egyptian land, for the healings in the 'city in the hills and the plains.'
44. The entity was among those of the Grecians. yet dwelling the whole of the experience most in the nomad land; for the entity was brought into the experience from the activities of the Grecians during those forces when there were the attempts - through the very activities - to seduce the leaders in the 'city in the hills and the plains.'
45. The entity became a leader of the healers, of the women, and made the first overtures for that of equality among those of both sexes.
46. Hence the entity might become easily a radical upon this subject in the present experience; yet these tempered in its activities will become that as will be a development for the entity.
47. The name then was Hoolpo.
48. In the experience the entity gained throughout, because of its ministry for the help of others, the sincerity of its activities in the teachings of the leader, and the sincerity for the proper consideration for those of its own sex.
49. For there were during those periods most of the burdens borne by those that were of the laborers in those particular lands.
50. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, during that period when there was the choosing of those who had perfected themselves through the temple of Sacrifice in service and in the preparations in the Temple Beautiful.
51. For the entity was a keeper of one of the stations in the Temple Beautiful, until there were those that were chosen for the making of overtures to the peoples of Mu - in the land of the risings or settings of those peoples in the Gobi land.
52. Hence the entity then became, in the latter portion of the experience, the bride of the prince of Mongolaw (?).
53. In the experience throughout the entity gained, for all the splendor of the world was at the entity's command during the experience - or that which made for body-adornment and the like; yet the entity from the lessons that were learned in the activities in the Temple Beautiful made those overtures that brought happiness and joy in the experience of many throughout the WORLD in that sojourn.
54. The name then was Ex-Telu, and the name was extolled throughout the land; not only because of the choice by the Prince but because of the activities of the entity during the experience.
55. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
56. As has been indicated, know in WHOM as well as in WHAT ye believe. LEARN that forward, backward; for it will become that through which the choices will be made by the entity in this experience that will bring sorrow or joy into the experience in this sojourn.
57. Ready for questions.
58. (Q) For what especial experience or lesson did I come into this earth at this time?
    (A) Patience!
59. (Q) Should I learn to be a nurse?
    (A) Very well, but about the second case and you'll want to marry the patient!
60. (Q) How may I attain that for which I am best fitted to do?
    (A) As has just been indicated.
61. (Q) What is my best time for meditation?
    (A) Early of a morning, for the entity - six to seven o'clock.
62. (Q) Please give an affirmation or advice for bringing about a perfect balance and coordination of the mental, spiritual and physical.
    (A) "LORD, I AM THY HANDMAID. LET MY LIFE BE SO BALANCED THAT I MAY BE A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IN THE CHRIST MAY BE MANIFESTED AMONG THE CHILDREN OF MEN.
    "TO THEE BE PRAISE AND GLORY AND HONOR IN HIS NAME."
    Know, then, as has been indicated, in WHOM ye believe; not that as a personality but Jesus as an individuality that may bring the personal experiences in thine own life of bringing hope, joy, to those who are seeking for that they know not what.
    Teach them, then, as thyself. For as ye teach, do ye learn that not of self but as the gift of the Father may happiness and joy and understanding come to the experiences of men.
    These kept, ye will find not only more and more that the worth-whileness of life is in being able to see the little things are remembered but that creative forces GROW, while destructive forces deteriorate.
    Then, to be able to remember the sunset, to be able to remember a beautiful conversation, a beautiful deed done where hope and faith were created, to remember the smile of a babe, the blush of a rose, the harmony of a song - a bird's call; THESE are creative. For if they are a part of thyself, they bring you closer and closer to God.
63. We are through.
