TEXT

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 - " - '20 - changes - " etc., on back to birth date.)
Yes, we have the entity here, and those records which indicate the development of the entity through the material as well as the astrological experiences of consciousness.
In giving the interpretations of the records, these we find are indicated - but without respect to what the entity has done or may do about the urges:
One of a mathematical trend of mind.
One always petite. No matter with what the body would be robed, it would be well dressed.
There are the inclinations for secretarial activities, and languages become easy.
Home building is the natural inclination for the entity.
In giving the interpretations of the records, these are chosen with the desire and purpose that this be a helpful experience for the entity; aiding in comprehending and being aware of the purposes for which it entered this experience.
For, no entity enters by chance, but there is a constant meeting of self. For what ye sow, that ye reap. This is an unchangeable law; and as ye think in your heart, so do the activities go.
He hath not willed that any soul should perish. Hence He has given the opportunities for all to become aware of their relationship to Creative Forces, through the manners of meeting self and dealing with their fellow men.
For as ye do it unto the least of thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker.
The urges latent and manifested from the astrological sojourns would mean very little in the experience of this entity, because of the changes the entity has wrought by its choice. Yet these may be seen much more in keeping with the purposes through and from the sojourns in the earth.
The astrological urges are rather as the latent dreams, while the urges from material sojourns are rather expressed in the latent urges and emotions.
Hence, as indicated, irrespective of these, the entity has builded; and the greater of the virtues with this entity is the sincerity of the entity in its choices, in its purposes, in its dealing with its fellow men. These are above the ordinary.
Hence all of those that would be called vices are as a non-entity to this entity, in relationships to desires toward and relationships with the fellow men.
From the astrological experiences we find these as latent influences, though - as indicated - they do not run or react as most astrological aspects would:
From the Uranian influence we find the high mental abilities, in combination with the Mercurian influences, these in variations. For, as the Uranian is the extremist and the Mercurian is the high mental ability, these are at variance here; though they are virtues in physical activity.
As to appearances in the earth, - we find:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, during the early settlings; among the first of those to settle for definite activity in that nigh unto the land of the present abode.
There we find the entity was among those from a combination of parentage; thus making for a development towards unity in thought, in activity, towards those things having to do with purposes of individuals in service to and through the creative forces in relationships to others.
The entity was one who taught the young, - then in the name Guen Hoppeddel; the entity gained, for all of those activities were a part of the entity's experience which made for developments in the minds and intents and purposes of the young, which aided in establishing much of that which is the spirit of the land in which the entity dwells at present.
Before that the entity was in the land where there was the distributing or dispersing of the followers of the Nazarene, during those early days when there were the persecutions in the Palestine land.
The entity then was in the land of its present nativity, especially Laodicea; and the entity then under the directions of the church was instrumental in establishing the bishopric activities in the various sections where there was the distributing of goods to the poor and needy, and the aid in the various groups.
Hence the entity was one in authority in that church established there, - in the name then Dorcohen.
Before that the entity was in the 'city in the hills and the plains,' or the Persian and Arabian land, during those periods of activities when there were the teachings from other lands; from the Gobi, the Indo-China, the Indian and the Egyptian lands. All of these had changes wrought through the manners in which there were the exchanges in that 'city' for the activities in all of these lands.
The entity then was among those close to the teacher in that experience, for although of those of the Indo-China land the entity then was born in the 'city in the hills and plains,' and was healed there. Thus the entity grew up as one to be in the ways of the teachings, and aided in the dispersing of goods, as well as of health and understanding to the many varied groups.
Then the name was Reiss.
In the present from that sojourn we find the urges arising in the entity's religious tendencies; and yet not orthodox in any cism, cult or group - though in its intent deeper than those forces that come from mere cism or cult.
Also the abilities for the home building, for entire trust, arise from the activities of the entity through that sojourn.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were those dispensations for the sending out of emissaries, missionaries.
The entity was of the Natives of the land who came under the supervision of teachings in the Temple Beautiful, as well as the Temple of Sacrifice. Thus the entity was prepared for special services in the land in which the entity finds its activity in the present.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
Keep that purpose, that desire to show self approved unto the ideal which has been chosen. Keep self from condemning. Also so live as not to be condemned by others.
Let thy watchword be, "USE ME, O LORD - USE ME!"
Either those activities of the secretarial or bookkeeping nature are the channels in the material or business field for which the entity is especially fitted.
However, the greater service may be rendered in the home; and in the building of same may the entity find the greatest harmony in this experience.
We are through for the present.
