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:
EC: (In going back over the years from the present, at 1931
- or between 1931 and 1929 as he went back - he mumbled
something that sounded like, "A great many suitors!")
Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or
called [
2205].
As we find the records here, many unusual experiences have
been a part of the entity's activity through material
sojourns.
Also the astrological aspects show very strong inclinations,
especially in the mental and latent urges as may be made
manifest, or that are manifested at times in the experience
of the entity.
Thus, - but without respect to what the entity does about the
urges, - we find one with these inclinations and tendencies:
The entity is one that may make itself agreeable to all, and
especially to those of the opposite sex.
Hence the entity counts its friendships as many.
One that is emotional, and is oft influenced by a story or
stories of privation and the like. Thus, at times the entity
is easily led into activities that do not always prove to be
the most satisfactory; owing to this inclination or tendency
to be what is called tenderhearted, or too "easy".
This is not a fault, - rather a virtue - unless the entity
allows self to become so easily led as to become one just the
opposite, that does not believe anyone.
The entity is one who has had many love affairs, and may have
many more; yet not any of these have been so serious as yet
as to determine in the entity's experience just what
character of companion or associate is sought.
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them
here, these are chosen with the desire and purpose that this
be a helpful experience to the entity; aiding it in making
those choices in ways and manners that this experience may be
one of helpfulness and hopefulness; thus making for growth in
the mental and spiritual aspects, and through same bringing
greater harmony into the experience of the entity.
One that is VERY active in those things pertaining to moral
relations, moral activities, and yet not one that is hedged
by orthodox activity, - but rather FREEDOM of thought and
purpose, especially as related to spiritual subjects or
spiritual activities.
As we shall find, these arise from those variations coming
from both astrological and material sojourns; for the entity
becomes emotional in each of these at times, - and thus has a
very high mental ability, and very high spiritual
aspirations.
These apparently become contradictory in the experience of
the entity. For the entity is not only a Uranian and an
Atlantean, but also a Piscean. Hence all three phases of
these are manifested at various times; hence produce a
temperament that is ofttimes misconstrued by others, - yet,
if the entity sets itself towards attainment, it is one that
may bring almost anything to pass in its material
relationships.
From the astrological aspects we find that Uranus is rather
the greater motivating force. Hence the extremes of unusual
natures, unusual relationships, unusual activities, unusual
friendships, - and these come in all classes or developments
in the environs of the entity.
The Piscean influence makes for the mystery, the mysterious;
and oft those who study or attempt to analyze the entity find
that it is in its characteristics of that nature and
temperament. Then, these bring those astrological influences
of extremes, - of beauty and of mathematical precision.
Hence the entity is a mathematician; and these - mathematics
with sympathy, with other tendencies - apparently become
conflicting.
As to urges arising from activities through sojourns in the
material plane, - we find that these have been quite varied,
and yet very close together in some (as the one before this)
and very far apart in others, with greatly changed
activities.
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, rather than the land of present sojourn, during
those periods just previous to and during the Civil War.
The entity during those experiences was in the land that was
a part of the peninsula-campaign, - or about Richmond and the
wilderness, and Fredericksburg, and those activities
extending into Bull Run and even to Gettysburg; for the
entity was closely associated and affiliated with the
activities upon those grounds.
Thus the entity was a rebel throughout its experience; which
in the present finds its expression in being unorthodox,
rather than in being a political ally, - though the entity is
very strong in its beliefs as to this or that.
The entity acted then not altogether as a spy, but as an
informer; following closely the activities of those in
authority, and the armies especially of Lee.
The name then was Lucy Bell Hammerhill; and we would say that
the entity gained, for its intent was toward those influences
that would bring into the experience a helpfulness, - through
doing or choosing that which was for the material as well as
mental welfare of itself and its associates through that
sojourn.
In the present we find a mien, an activity in which the
entity is very affable; especially to the opposite sex, as
indicated. The entity finds itself oft associated or drawn
or classed with individuals or friends to whom it has not
given particular thought, yet by others considered as being
very closely associated, or having "a case," as might be
termed in common parlance, when little or nothing of such a
nature had been the entity's intent or purpose.
Before that the entity was in the Promised Land during the
period of the Roman activity there, - during those periods
when friendships in the household of Cornelius were a part of
the entity's activity and associations.
The entity was a Roman in that land, and in the same sex as
at present; being acquainted with much of the intrigue as
well as religious activities, tendencies and trends.
These brought confusions to the entity, - yet the entity held
to those things in which the entity became very much
interested, but rather in the secret organizations.
Hence there is the tendency in the present for the entity to
be acquainted or affiliated with, or to search out those
activities of groups who organize themselves for certain
activities or divisions of activities.
We find that the entity gained and lost. It gained when
those influences were turned into activities which brought
individuals' minds towards universal peace; lost when they
were turned into those channels for self-aggrandizement or
self-indulgence.
In the present we will find the entity experiencing varied
environs, varied activities as to groups with which the
entity finds itself associated.
Thus the entity finds at times that it gets along very much
better with men than with women. Not that it is averse to or
disliked by women, for - as indicated - the entity is
affable, and makes friends where it chooses; but very oft it
hasn't chosen.
And in whatever field of service the entity chooses, great
relationships, great activities might be accomplished by the
entity, - especially if it would tend to writing as a part of
the entity's experience.
The name then was Celicene.
Before that the entity was in the English land, but during
the early periods of those journeyings of the peoples of
Hezekiah's reign, - during the time when the children of
promise were carried into captivity.
The entity was among those voyagers who fared forth seeking
out other lands.
Hence the love of adventure, the love of strange places,
strange environs; and the desire to study various activities
when there may be indicated as to the source or cause of
individuals thinking or acting in given directions.
Thus we find the abilities as the mathematician, or even the
abilities as a nautical director; for the entity might easily
have become either an aviatrix or one who would sail boats by
the stars or by the compass or by those things considered
rather as a MAN'S direction, though the entity has the more
oft (in those sojourns that have an influence in the present
experience) remained in its present sex.
The name then was Zenbeuen. In the experience the entity
gained, for it was the seeking for freedom as well as for the
preservation of those tenets and truths which brought the
entity's desire to seek out other lands, and the putting of
same into activity, - and the setting up of the stones in the
forms of circles for altars.
Hence we find that symbols at times mean much to the entity,
or the study of same.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those
periods when there was the entrance of the Atlanteans into
that land.
The entity was among the children of the Law of One; and
aided in bringing to the Egyptians, the Priest, and to the
activities in the Egyptian land, a better unification among
their own people. For the entity, a priestess then of the
children of the Law of One, held close to those things that
were material manifestations of the spiritual associations in
the lives of individuals. And as these were manifested in
the activities of the Priest, according to the entity - in
the name then Princess Zu-Mu, there came the greater and
closer relationships with the Priest in that experience.
Thus the entity aided in the establishing of the Temple
Beautiful, for the preparation of individuals for special
service, or the classifying of their activities, - whether
the preparation of body for the entering of new individuals,
or the material activities that prepared individuals for
special service.
In the experience the entity gained throughout.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to
which it may attain, and how:
The entity may accomplish that to which it may set itself, if
it holds to it, - as we have indicated, and as illustrated by
the activities of the entity through the material sojourns.
Whether in the fields of activity that might relate to
relationships in political activities, or as a director or
teacher in mathematics, or in writing - as a historian of the
development or activity of groups, associations or
organizations in the affairs of individuals and groups
throughout any given land, or for the bringing about of any
purpose - the entity might accomplish much.
First, know self and self's ideal. Know, as has been
experienced, that the ideal must be of spiritual import, -
and thus may bring into the experience of the entity those
things that bring harmony.
For, know that to live justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly
before the Lord thy God is the whole duty of man.
BUILD a home, eventually. This will bring the greater
harmonies; but upon the basis of that which has been as the
latent ideals respecting same.
We are through for the present.
