GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the
universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions
which are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the
present life; also the former appearances in the earth's
plane; giving time, place and the name, and that in each
life which built or retarded the development for the entity;
giving the abilities of the present entity, and that to which
it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions he has
submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called
Mr. [
1671].
In giving the interpretations of the records here, we find
this as an emblem should be kept in the consciousness of the
entity in its dealings with its fellow man, - in its choices
day by day as to activities of itself in relation to things,
conditions or individuals:
That of the balance, with justice and integrity as upon each
scale.
In choosing those interpretations from the records as
are given here, these are chosen with the desire that the
experience may be applied in the activities of the entity in
such a manner as to make this sojourn in the material plane
one of development.
To be sure, these are drawn from the premise that each entity
enters with certain abilities and faculties for activities in
given endeavors, that would make for or mar the development
not only in the material but aid in bringing through the
mental experience and association a greater oneness with
the universal energies or spiritual influences - which is
the purpose for the entering of each soul into material
manifestations.
Hence these are from that premise that the mental and
spiritual is that portion that must be the directing force,
and that material successes - so called - will be the result
of well-applied spiritual and mental purposes and desires by
the entity.
For without a knowledge of spiritual and mental things,
little of growth or advancement may be made by an entity.
In giving then the influences that bear upon this entity, we
find these as impelling forces in the present experience -
but irrespective of what has been done or may be done:
One of high mental abilities, that turns towards great detail
and exactness, - as may be indicated from the emblem of the
life of the entity.
Also the entity is one that, with the training - or the
desire for same, which is innate and may be made manifest
- would find the greatest pleasures in chemical or
electrochemical research.
But in any endeavor where there are the needs for details,
these will be of interest especially to this entity.
As may be also gained by the study of the emblem of life
of the entity, the inclination to see faults in others is
a manifested and an innate part of the entity.
Hence it would be well that the entity practise in its own
inner self that injunction which has been given, "Judge not
that ye be not judged, for with what judgement ye mete it
shall be measured to you again."
Do then unto others that as ye would have others do to thee.
And this correction in the inclinations will make for a much
more peaceful, a much more optimistic experience for the
entity in its daily contact with others.
Mercury, the Sun, Venus and Neptune become the planetary
influences as we find in the experience from the sojourns
of the entity in those environs.
Hence the abilities, the high mental atmosphere of the
entity, the reasoning as well as the inclinations to pass
judgements, - as well as a great physical strength and
resistance, if there is kept the full attunement to
constructive and creative thought within the activities
and in the application of the entity as relating to itself.
And again it may be said, it is well that the entity
remember, "Be ye true to thine own self and ye will
not be false to any."
From the influence in Neptune, or the water sign, we find
the quick perception, and the intuitive abilities; also the
interest in those things of the unseen forces or powers we
find innate in the experience.
As to how and in what manner the influences that arise from
these are to be applied, surely depends upon that which the
entity has used and will use as its standard, its ideal.
Not mere ideas; but there are ideals spiritual, ideals
mental, ideals that have been attained in the material
manifestations.
What are thine?
Answer these from within thine own self, not as others may
indicate. For thy relationship to Creative Forces, to the
now, to the future, to the past, is as ONE in thine own
application.
For ye are - as every entity - the result of that ye HAVE
applied and do apply in thy experience of that thou hast
chosen as thy ideal.
Make sure it is founded in that which is eternal.
As to the appearances in the earth, - here we find quite a
varying experience of the entity.
Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present
nativity or birth, during those periods following the French
Revolution, - when the followers of and the peoples close to
that leader were so active in establishing an IDEA among the
peoples.
The entity was among those who were born of those parents in
this new land, in the name Renee Deveaux.
In the experience the entity gained; for it chose rather
to remain in this new land, when others of that group or
company returned to France.
We find the entity then was active in that capacity of making
use of nature's activities for the betterment of the material
as well as the mental attitude and atmosphere or environ of
its fellows and associates.
And the entity gave self in making for better conditions in
the social and educational fields, and in the abilities to
rule or direct the affairs of that group in this particular
land.
And until recently there might have been found records of the
entity's activity there, in the first settlings in what was
known as Catawba; and the records of that old settlement
would bear out the activities of the entity as a leader
and director in the early settling there.
In the present from that experience, then, use nature's
forces by the application and study of the details necessary
for the using of nature's forces for man's material welfare,
as well as for the understanding through the study of same as
to his relationship to the Creative Forces or God.
Before that we find the entity was in the land now called the
Grecian, when there were those periods of study of the mental
abilities, during the days of the counseling from the great
teacher in those lands who gave himself for an idea, -
yea, an ideal, - as to the freedom of man in thought and
in speech, as to his full and complete relationships to
the material, the mental and the spiritual realms.
The entity came under the influence of those teachings,
and carried from Socrates' discussions that of the fear, -
yet that which enabled the entity to aid in many of those
activities in which the great detail became necessary, in the
compounding of those things that might be a part of or an aid
to man in his recovery from, in his protection from, those
conditions in the body.
Not altogether was the entity what one would term a doctor,
nor yet a chemist, but rather as a combination of these;
interested in all the activities of that day; gaining
and losing through the experience. The entity gained in
the application of self for the betterments and better
understanding; losing in the overjudgements and the holding
of grudges and belittling of those who understood not as
self.
In the present, then, there is the warning again to oft
consider that which is the seal or the emblem to which
ye must keep the great balance.
Before that we find the entity was in the lands now
called the Persian and the Arabian, or when there was the
development of that 'city in the hills and the plains.'
The entity was among those who were the followers or the
corps of officers of the King who was active during those
experiences in attempting to overthrow or overcome that
teacher in the 'hills and the plains.'
Yet coming under the influences through the material
conditions as arose, the entity became as one who was a
corrector of weights, of measurements; setting standards
for the exchange of the goods of one land and another.
Again we find the entity was active in brewing those oils and
ointments that were in such demands for those who were in the
positions of trust, - not only for the preservation of those
who passed but as emollients and oils for perfuming the body
to impress or to indicate the station in life.
In the experience the entity in the latter portion gained,
for little was given of self save as an aid in the better
understanding of the relationships of individual souls
or entities to Creative Forces as may be manifested in
the dealings of one entity with another, - though the
activities made for material gains.
The name then was Periclean.
Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land,
during those days when there were turmoils and strifes
because of the banishment of the Priest.
The entity again was active in those experiences in keeping a
record for the King AND the Priest; siding with the Priest, -
went into banishment.
With the return after the nine years (as ye judge), to the
reconstructive forces, the entity - as Il-aarzen - aided in
the preparations of many of those influences as gathered from
nature for the uses in the fires of the Temple of Sacrifice.
Hence odors, and woods as may be used in the preparation
of same for the entity, or for uses of same, are of
special significance in the innate forces of this entity.
Throughout the experience there the entity gained.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and
that to which it may attain, and how:
As has been indicated, study thyself - and what ye really
desire to do.
Judge not others, but keep thine own skirts CLEAN! Do not
act in ANY manner wherein a question mark may be after that
act or deed.
Use that thou hast in hand, in those directions indicated.
The greater joy and service and material gains may come in
those directions indicated, but in any field where there are
the needs for detail work, - whether in facts, in figures, in
formulas or in what - these are the fields for thy activity,
- rather than in the open or in fields or the like.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Just what specific line would you advise as the life
work?
(A) As indicated, these as outlined are the channels through
which greater things may come. But in any field where
the mental abilities are needed in detail, - whether as a
datastician, statistician, keeper of records, or combined
- by study - into becoming a chemist or worker in such.
(Q) Is the attitude or inclination just outlined applicable
to this day and time?
(A) Applicable. For the natures, the tendencies of the
mind of man have not changed; the environs and the manners
or means of expression of same are only under different
conditions.
(Q) Please give correct time of physical birth.
(A) As has been recorded.
We are through with this Reading - We are through for the
present.
