TEXT

HLC: You will have before you the entity, [1602], also her mental and material affairs. It has been indicated, thru various sources, that the period immediately ahead, is one of change in many fields - politically, economically, and geologically. Will you clarify these predictions for me, and give directions for me at this time? answering questions which have been prepared?
EC: Yes, we have the entity here.
As in relationship to changes, - these are indicated not only through prophecies but through astrological aspects, as well as the thought and intent of persons and groups in high places; bringing about these things, these conditions, in what might be said to be the fullness of time.
However, - since the advent of the Son of Man in the earth, giving man an advocate with the Father, there has been an influence that may counteract much of that which has been indicated that would come as retribution, or in filling the law of an evolution of ideas and the relationship of material things to the thoughts and intents of individuals and groups.
Then, as to whether the hearts and minds of individuals or souls (who were given authority concerning the laws of the universe) are fired with the thoughts of dire consequences or those things that bespeak of the greater development of a spiritual awakening, is still in the keeping and in the activities of individuals who - as this entity - have caught a glimpse, or an awareness, of that which is in the making, in the affairs of state, nation, and nations, and the universe, as related to the conditions upon the face of Mother Earth.
There enters much, then, that might become questions as respecting that which has been foretold, or prophesied, as well as respecting the activities of groups and individuals who have acted and who are to act as a counterbalance to these happenings in the earth.
In the first premise, - know what was the cause of indifference, or sin, entering material manifestations. Was it the purpose by God that such should be, or by the Godhead? or was it that this force or power seeking expression found - with the expression - that there came the forces of positive and negative?
And with same the awareness of one influence or force, taking certain courses or directions, became negative.
The others became the greater positive.
Thus in the experience of souls through their evolution in the material things of the earth, there has been brought just that same effect in the material affairs of the souls active in expressing or manifesting at this particular period or sphere of development.
Much of just this comprehending is indicated in some of those records that are now becoming more and more a part of man's experience, or awareness; in that the cosmic or universal or spiritual laws are bringing same into that category or phase of experience where they become a part of individual experience.
This may be indicated from the records in the rocks; it may be indicated in the pyramids, - man's attempts to leave a sign to those who, in the spiritual comprehension of material associations in spirit, would interpret that which had been, that which is, and that which was to be.
Hence it is seen that there are interpretations that become a matter of the consciousness of the individual so making same.
Or, to return to the first premise, it depends upon which line is taken by such an individual making such interpretation; whether a pessimistic or an optimistic, or a positive or a negative; or (by negative we mean) one that sees the world, as related to the earth and its position in the universe, being damned irrespective of what souls do about same, - taking little or no account of the words, the promises, yea the activities of Him. HE manifested in the earth that as would bring to the seeker an awareness of the constructive influence of same.
This may be indicated or seen in the record according to the Book, - which is as a sign, a guide to those who seek to know His ways, His purposes to man.
These interpretations of the promises, the pledges taken and given in the lives and activities - or during the phases of a sojourn of an individual soul, must be taken into account.
And then these indicate as to what is to come to pass, even through these periods of the earth's journey through space; "catching up," as it were, with Time.
And then the soul realizes - in his search for his Maker - the patience that was, is and will be manifested in Him; He that is the way, the truth and the light.
AGAIN the interpretation of the signs and the omens becomes an individual experience. And each soul - as this entity - then is given the privilege, the opportunity to LIVE such an activity in its relationships to its fellow man; filling, fulfilling, and interpreting that which has been indicated, in such measures and such manners as to bring hope and not fear, peace and not hate, that which is CONSTRUCTIVE and NOT destructive, into the lives and minds and hearts of others.
We will rest for the period.
