TEXT

1. 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 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, as I ask them:
2. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '28 - periods of lack of centralization - '18 - anxieties - 1934 - yes, changes and awakenings - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2147].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these in some respects are rather unusual, - owing to the associations and activities through sojourns in the earth, and the urges which are latent and manifested in the present personality of the entity.
5. As to the urges that arise through astrological sojourns, - we find that these have less influence. Not that the entity does not have periods of deep meditation or reflection upon spiritual forces, but to the entity these are manifestations of what a soul or entity has done about same in material application. Hence it is not a materialist, nor wholly an idealist, but one well balanced in those directions as have been indicated, and as will be seen the causes through the sojourns in the earth.
6. While the earthly sojourns have not been sufficiently close for it to be said that the entity is one overburdened with sentimentality, we find that sentiment does have a great part in the activity of the entity.
7. These, then, are chosen as the interpretations; that this experience may be a helpful one for the entity in determining manners and ways and means of activity to be chosen.
8. For, it is not all of life just to live, nor all of death to die. For there is no death when the ENTITY or the real self is considered; only the change in the consciousness of being able to make application in the sphere of activity in which the entity finds self.
9. Astrologically, we find Neptune with Jupiter, Venus AND Uranus as the ruling forces in the experiences of the entity.
10. Hence as we have found and will find in the experience, those things pertaining to water, waterways, activities on and over water, and air, will have a great influence in the experiences of the entity in material associations.
11. Also, from the Atlantean sojourn, we find that those things are of interest to the entity which have to do with mysticism; not as to a physical consciousness, but all forms of gas, or air, or activities of same, and those elements from which material things become active.
12. In Jupiter we will find the activities dealing with groups, masses, - rather than individual activity. Then the choices as to that in which the entity would give itself in service or activity would be for the masses, rather than the individual; though CLASS individuals would be included in and through such activities.
13. In the Uranian we find the extremes. These, though, are not as forces which act or come upon the entity whether or no, but the entertaining of ideas, the entertaining of activities in fields that would deal with such relationships - as indicated astrologically - will have the influence in the experience for weal or woe.
14. As to choices, - these are ever to be made within the experience and direction of the entity itself.
15. The sojourns in the earth, - here we find the greater expression of the entity's desires, hopes, fears, longings and the like.
16. Before this we find the entity was among those peoples in the land now called the Incal land, but among those who came from other lands into that land; being among those who were called the invading peoples.
17. Though we find the entity's choice was not to cause death or destruction merely for the gains of gold or those things pertaining to those peoples, the entity was overruled; which caused much in the experience that brought discouraging activities.
18. And this has created in the present experience of the entity a horror of things that CAUSE fear, or that have been the outgrowth of barbarism or the like as related to individuals taking advantage or using the activities of others for selfish motives or for the aggrandizement of appetites within the experiences of such.
19. Not that there is not an awareness of these by the entity, but the purposes, the aims, the desires - which arose from that sojourn in portions of the land now called Central America, as well as the Incal land - brought determinations, activities, longings for such activities in which - while all to the entity, might not be upon an equal - all might be equally considered in their sphere, their scope, their abilities for activities.
20. Hence we will find in the present experience the interesting conditions as to expeditions of every nature or character, especially those things having to do with the finding of lost activities, lost associations, lost treasure, lost influences as wrought by individual groups, are of special interest; as well as that which MENTALLY caused such groups to BE IN the positions, or to act in those fields of endeavor in which such took place.
21. Hence history, navigation, astrology, astronomy, all of the vegetation and growths of every nature, become of a special interest to the entity. And in those fields of endeavor in which these may become as an outlet, or a channel through which the entity's activities may lie, there may be brought the greater hopes materially, as well as means for activities in which the entity would expend self in giving knowledge of every character that is of a developing nature to the masses.
22. The name then was Emanuel Dieaz. In the experience the entity materially lost; in the mental and spiritual forces gained.
23. In the present those activities would bring helpful forces, so long as these are applied in the divisions among the masses, though administered by individual activity.
24. Before that the entity was in the Roman land, during the early activities of that empire - as an empire - in the subjugating of other groups, other lands; not as in the beginning of some of those activities just for exploration or for the demanding of tribute, but the activities of the entity through that experience were as a navigator, one who dared to go upon the seas from the sight of lands and gather data from the many lands for the unifying of effort in given directions for the betterment of all.
25. In that experience the entity gained in its associations with its fellows, with its government.
26. And as we find in the present from those activities, - where there is united effort upon the part of the associates to keep such activities, in which the entity may engage, within the confines of its own government, its own associations, these are well. When these have to deal with, and where there are associations from other lands, and the considerations of other thought, these will not be so successful, - unless the ideals of the entity are kept first and foremost in the experience.
27. Hence we will find the land of the Persian Gulf, as well as the northernmost coast of Africa, through the upper portions of the Nile, are parts of the lands and conditions and areas that bring an especial interest oft in the entity's experience.
28. And when there are the visions or dreams in the entity's experience (which there have been once or twice, especially), in which these lands enter - that were a part of the indwelling of the entity itself it may be said that these are from those periods which brought greater aid and help to the individual lands.
29. The entity was not in favor so much in the activities in some quarters, because of the selfish interests of others, but as given - with those in authority and closely associated - the entity rose in might and power, as one whose word and whose activity was considered as being an authority upon subjects pertaining to the varied lands.
30. Then the name was Galieus.
31. Before that the entity was in the land now known as the Persian and Arabian land, or in the "city in the hills and the plains," during those activities when there was the establishing of a center there, a place of exchange, for those peoples from the east and from the Egyptian and the northernmost portions of the now African land.
32. The entity became active there through the efforts of those peoples from the Persian sojourn; thus the entity became not only acquainted with but worked with the leader, the teacher then, Uhjltd.
33. In the experience the entity FINALLY gained that idea, that ideal, which was the basis of the activities there; and these brought periods of help and succor, not only to those who were diseased but those who were troubled because of persecutions in other portions of the land.
34. And the entity became as a leader among those where exchanges were made; as the golds of Ophir, as well as the spices from India and Ceylon. These became an outlet, - these activities in the "city in the hills and the plains."
35. Hence we will find the entity's interest in things pertaining to odors, to trinkets for the adorning of the body and the like. All of these become a part of the entity's consciousness in the associations, as well as the activities MENTALLY that such things create or bring into the experience of individuals and groups.
36. The name then was Cheucheor.
37. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, during those periods when there was the breaking up of the land, owing to the attempts of the sons of Belial to use the activities of the sons of the Law of One for self-indulgence, self-aggrandizing, - because of the desires for activities in which the baser metals, the baser activities might be turned into use for pleasures of the sons of Belial.
38. Hence we find the entity, though overpowered in some directions, set its determinations then as to use of such as gases, liquid air, explosives, things having to do with both creative and destructive forces. These became the study, the attention and the activities of the entity in the experience.
39. And these activities, with those with whom the entity journeyed to the Egyptian land, brought some of the experiences that caused both good and bad activities in the Egyptian land. For, those who were a portion of the Natives as well as a part of the activities that rebelled against the King in the Egyptian land, attempted to use these. Though they were not given as a part of the entity's experience, the entity's knowledge of same brought the disturbing forces.
40. Eventually, with the return of the Priest, all of these became a part of the constructive activities, - in the hospitalization as well as in the manners of moving great stones, figures, etc., that were a part of the experiences which the entity entertained and used for constructive influences.
41. The name then was Pzzaro.
42. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
43. First, as we would analyze; hold fast to that ideal which is oft entertained, that thou ART thy brother's keeper; that is, the knowledge, the use of activities that may become helpful, hopeful experiences in the lives of others is thy opportunity, thy DUTY as one to another.
44. As to the channels of service, - in all of those that have to do with research in historical facts, whether these are for weal or woe, turn them into constructive experiences for others.
45. In the activities in the Incal land, much of the gold may be a part of the entity's experience; but it necessitates the searching through the waterways, rather than in the hills and mountains as so many have done.
46. As to the service to which the entity may give and find an outlet for the greater development of self, as well as that peace and harmony which each soul seeks: It is in bringing into the consciousness of others that which will do them good, in appreciations of the blessings that are theirs day by day.
47. Ready for questions.
48. (Q) Will I find the treasure in the place where I am looking for it?¹
    (A) You are upon the right track, - and in those same associations and connections, yes.
49. (Q) Any other advice regarding this?
    (A) As we find, this should be the natural development, the natural channel. Follow those directions.
50. We are through for the present.
