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 years from the present - " - '35 -
preparations, and change - '30 - " etc., on back to birth
date.)
Yes, we have the records of that entity now called [
2269].
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them,
these are chosen to be given with the desire and purpose that
this be a helpful experience for the entity.
While the activities from the records as we find in the
material plane have been numerous, all of these will not be
indicated; for these only become as activative influences in
the experience as the entity applies or overcomes or meets,
or shuns, urges as related to the present experience.
So far as the activities from the astrological aspects are
concerned, these are merely as urges, rather latent. Hence
the astrological aspects would be rather nil, if there were
the comparison made as to the influences the entity has
allowed to urge or increase the activity.
Much sojourn in the earth makes for a nervous, erratic
temperament at times; quite psychic, and this may be
developed to those activities in which it may be a helpful
influence as an aid to others, or it may be diverted to
such an extent and become so personal in nature - by the
activities - as to become detrimental rather than helpful.
Keep the feet on the ground. Study all phenomena, yes, - but
let it express from within rather than so much from without.
Hence in the interpretations here, - these are given with the
desire that there may be found that which answers within.
For the body is physical, with all its attributes; mental
with all the nervous urges, that may be influenced by both
the latent and manifested emotions that may find expression
in the physical; as well as the spiritual, that should find
expression in mental and physical.
Know, then, in what ye believe, and Who is the author of thy
faith, thy hope, thy purpose. Then study to show self
approved unto thy Maker, who is revealed in Jesus, the
Christ.
Know that the promises have been from old, "I will no longer
be far away, but will write my purposes, my desires, upon the
HEARTS of the children of men."
Then, let thy yeas be yea in HIM; thy nays be nay in Him; for
He is the author and the giver of hope, of love, of life
itself.
Then in Him live and move and have thy being.
To be sure, all forms of phenomena - that are of mental
natures or experiences of disincarnate influences - bespeak
of life eternal; but only in HIM is the truth and the light,
- and they that climb up some other way defeat their own
purposes, and make themselves fearful in purpose and desire
oft.
In astrological aspects, as indicated, - these are nil to a
great extent, because of the great emotional natures that
arise and manifest, have manifested, in likes and dislikes.
Do ye indeed know what jealousy and hate breed? Do ye know
what longings and desires create, that are only gratifying
the emotions of the body? and how they become as hangers-on
in the form of habits that may undermine?
Then, only hope and faith, and kindness, and gentleness,
brotherly love and patience, beget that strength, that
harmony, that peace which is of the everlasting nature as
promised in Him.
Then read, - not merely read but analyze, as in its
relationship to thee, - the thirtieth chapter of Deuteronomy;
then the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth
chapters of St. John; and know that they speak to thee!
And we will find that the nervous tension, the disturbance
which has been a part of thy experience because of the
emotions in the physical body, will be put away.
Then be not long-faced, nor as a goody-goody character of
personage, but be ye good FOR something!
Know that as ye walk with Him in the promises that are given
in those passages indicated, He abides with thee. And if He
abides with thee, what CAN make thee afraid?
For, He is life, light, hope, patience, love; in its essence.
And as ye manifest same in thy conversation, in thy thoughts,
in thy dealings with thy fellow men, ye are indeed His.
As to the appearances in the earth and their effect upon the
emotions, and the physical and mental urges latent and
manifested in the present, - these are many; yet all will not
be given, - only those that are a part of that to be met in
self, and in its relationships to others, NOW, in the
present.
And as the urges come about, then the various experiences
in other sojourns, other relationships, may be indicated as
being then a helpful force. For, only help is desired to be
indicated for the entity here.
Before this the entity was in the land now known as
Salem, Massachusetts; and in those activities that were as
influences about same, in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The entity was among those very close with the first of
the activities there in which it was indicated that there
were the influences or the forces from without causing
noises, causing visions, - yea, affecting the mental and
physical activity of individuals or peoples.
Then in the name Marge Hemphill, the entity became mentally
very disturbed; and took a great deal of persecution, even
to the dipping, even to the attempts to eradicate those
influences; causing eventually the breaking of the health in
such measures and manners as to unfit the body for those
activities of that experience, physically and mentally.
Thus those high emotional forces in contact or relationships
with individuals occur at times. These reach such an extent
at times as to become very upsetting in the physical and
mental well-being of the entity.
Hence those injunctions as to the manners and means of
seeking a renewing from within, through the determining as
to Whom the entity may turn to for its search for its own
self, and in the relationships to those activities which
bring about influences that make for the keeping of the
balance within self.
The abilities are here. The activities are thine. Keep them
inviolate. Do not abuse them, but walk with Him in the way
ye should go!
Before that the entity was in the experience following those
activities which had brought to the peoples of the promised
land the reason for hope, in the activity of an individual
entity through which the light of the world was seen among
men - and abused by many.
Yet the entity caught many visions of same through the
teachings and activities of those who were a part of the
experience of the entity, in Pamphylia and the activities
through that region.
The name then was Lydas. In the experience the entity was
highly emotional, and desirous of giving body as well as
purposes to the service; yet because of the fear of
persecutions and activities, there came the disturbing
experiences.
The abilities were expended then in the analyzing of the
teachings of those various groups; as well as in embroidering
and brocading, as they were expressed in those periods of
activity.
Thus, all of these phases become as emotional or physical
experiences for the entity in the present; as well as the
abilities to hear voices afar; visions in colors of things
as arise in the experiences of many.
These become the emotional forces as they manifest. These
are well, provided the effect or the activity is looked to,
rather than that which produces such in the experiences of
those who control same. In other words, all such be
estimated according to that it produces in the experiences
of those who control same.
Before that the entity was in that sojourn during the
activities of Pythagoras, with which the entity was closely
associated.
Thus things of a technical and scientific nature, especially
having to do with the body and the mind, are of special
interest to the entity.
Hence in those fields of service as a technician, or
datastician, the entity may find an outlet in which the
psychological experiences as well as the psychic forces
may be used, - as in determining conditions physically
which disturb the bodies of individuals.
Thus the X-Ray, the technical forces of examinations, bring
especial influences, - as the entity studied those through
the associations of that period of activity.
In the name then Carpotholos, the entity gained mentally;
lost as to spiritual activities; and in the present the
entity is a very good argurer with others.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, in the
early periods of that reconstruction in which there were the
divisions made of those peoples for the interpreting of the
activities of individuals, in which their actions were in
keeping with those developments indicated by the manner of
thought or purpose of each individual.
Thus we find the entity was a character analyst, or what in
the present would be termed a datastician or a technician in
the study and analysis of purposes and of people's thoughts,
- whether of individuals or of groups.
Thus, through such channels the entity may find greater
activity. The entity in that sojourn was closely associated
with the Priest, as well as some of those from the Atlantean
experience.
Thus all forms of psychic phenomena, or mystical things, are
of deep and vital interest to the entity. But keep them,
my child, spiritualized - in Him, who is the GREAT Teacher,
the GREAT Physician, the GREAT Healer! For in Him is the way
and the truth and the light.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, - these
are as we have indicated.
Study and analyze manners of developing the psychic or soul
forces of self; but in Him, my child, - in Him!
Apply them in material things towards those activities as a
technician or datastician, - as would deal with minds and
bodies of individuals. Thus in associations with physicians
or hospitals or institutions of such natures would be the
outlets for the entity's abilities, as these developings
come.
And talk over most of thy experiences with HIM, - rather
than with peoples - who have their own way. But His way is
perfect, and ye may find it in Him.
Ready for questions.
(Q) In what does my greatest happiness and development lie?
(A) As indicated, in a service to thy fellow men through the
abilities which are latent and that may be made manifest
materially, - if the spiritual attitude and aptitude is kept.
(Q) Are my present environment and work a help or hindrance
to me?
(A) As we have indicated, they may be made either. If there
is the reliance upon those teachings as indicated, ye can
make them a helpful experience.
(Q) To what extent am I permanently influenced by former
unhappy experiences?
(A) As these are allowed to become a part of the warp and
woof of the thinking. Remember, the mind is the builder.
They take hold; but if these are lost in Him and His
promises, not only the physical disturbance of the neurosis
may be eliminated, but the influences of unhappy experiences
may become as nothing.
(Q) What have been my past associations with Edward [...]?
(A) We do not find the entity here; though from the mental
attitude it would be indicated that there were associations
in the experiences just previous to the present sojourn.
(Q) What are my duties to Milton [...]?
(A) The directing in those influences that bring harmony
for each.
(Q) Have the words "X-Ray Technique" any special
significance for me?
(A) Analyze these in the light of that which has been given
here, and as it has been a part of the study and analysis, so
may it be a part of the entity's work here and now.
We are through for the present.
