We find in Venus the love of home, of activity of those who
find the manner of affection, of expression materially.
These, too, must be made manifest under the existent
conditions as a broader, deeper feeling; that is taken into
consideration from and for this angle, - yea, PURPOSEFULLY in
the experience; knowing that inasmuch, or in the MANNER and
way ye mete out thy love, thy affection, thy care, thy
thought, to even the lowliest of thy fellow men, so ye may
expect, so may ye be doing unto thy Maker.
For, each soul is but as a corpuscle in the heart of God, and
each should, must, work together for good, - if there would
be made manifest in thy daily life that love, that hope, that
mercy, that faith which is sought in Him.
In Mercury we find the high mental abilities, both in
constructive and disturbing reactions. For, as the mental
abilities may attempt to reason and to find in spiritual
things that which is as a tendency to condemn, or to cry,
"WHY - why - did this have to happen to me?" there may come
in such that as may block the self from hearing that voice of
peace deep within, that gives the blessings of the Father as
promised to those to whom He has given, "If ye will but be my
child, I will be thy God!"
This is not an abstract experience for any, but a very
concrete, definite experience; that may be the consciousness
of those who seek, - not as in duty, obligation, but in love!
For, God IS love. Then, - in thy activity under stress,
strain, even disappointment and heartbreaking experiences, -
CALL! For, he hath promised, "If ye call, I will HEAR - and
answer speedily." Yet the answer can only be in that measure
with which ye mete to thy fellow man.
Then, in Jupiter we find for the entity the outlets upon many
varying phases of experience, under those disturbing factors;
that though the entity may find in the present those
influences that seem to overshadow all, looking about, taking
thought of others, there will be seen much that must be, is,
even more disturbing to those who have no mental or material
background for even a hope.
Bring, and help such to find, hope; to find that there are
those who care, who take thought, - if ye would have thy
loved ones, thy Father-God, take care and thought of thee!
We find in Saturn the changes, the experiences that have
brought divisions, disturbances; breaking into the hopes, the
aspirations, the desires. Yet He is not mocked; whatsoever a
soul, an entity, soweth, that must it also reap. But in Him
ye may find REST unto a weary, disturbed, troubled heart,
POURED out in such activities as to bring cheer to others,
hope and desire for the love of the Father. So may ye find
it in thy own experience.
This is not far-fetched. This is not that which is merely
heard of as from afar. For, remember, as was given by Him of
old, - "Lo! He is within thine own heart, thine own mind."
Seek Him there; for thy body is indeed the temple of the
living God. THERE, in thy purposes, in thy hopes, in thy
desires, ye may find Him a very present help in the time of
trouble.
As to the appearances in the earth, - not all may be given
here; neither are they all applicable under the present
stress. These are indicated merely that there may be
gathered how, and in what manner, the continuity of life has
been, and is, in the experiences of each soul through its
search for that home not built with hands, but eternal - in
the heart of God Himself.
Before this, then, the entity was in the land of the present
nativity during those periods of the early settling of the
land.
There the entity, under stress and strain, because of the
fears as to the peoples from without who had brought about
the warring of the peoples, fled; taking the easy way,
leaving the companion (even the one who had been the
companion in the present) in a state of fear and doubt as to
WHY, as to what CAUSED such APPARENT neglect, or the thought
of self-preservation rather than the love that had BOUND
their destinies in an activity - which is STILL a part of the
entity's experience.
The name then was Ellary Heffor. The entity lost, the entity
gained, in that experience.
And, as the entity in the present applies self in the
building abilities in the experiences of those dependent upon
the entity, there may come that happiness, that joy of the
consciousness, the assurance of Him; that may bring into the
awareness that consciousness of Him saying, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant; enter into the joys of thy Lord."
In these manners, then, - as the home builder, as well as in
the exercising of self in the present to bring hope to
others, - this real awakening may come, eradicating those
doubts and fears which arise at times from that loneliness -
which was then, in that sojourn, so a part of the entity's
experience, when it had found there were definite steps taken
that could not be retraced.
Hence we find that fear of loneliness, of being alone with
self and self's thoughts. Rather let that awareness come
into the experience as He has promised, "I will not leave
thee alone, but will come - if ye will but open thy heart to
the good, the hope, the kindness, the gentleness, the
patience, the brotherly love as may be manifested in thy
dealings with thy fellow men, thy neighbors, - yea, those
about thee day by day; and ESPECIALLY to thy own children."
Before that the entity was in the Promised land, during that
period when there was the returning to the rebuilding of the
temple, the reestablishing of the faith of the fathers in the
land.
The changes that were wrought brought into the experience of
the entity the hardships, the longings for things as they had
been and as they might be under the varying circumstances, or
as before they had been separated from the worldly aspects to
consider the spiritual future of its peoples.
But in service - as the entity established with the daughters
of Zerubbabel, or as one of them - in the name Abijah - the
entity gained materially, mentally, spiritually.
So may the entity gain in this present experience, in the
reestablishing of self in those ways which are not past
finding out. For, those who search to know may find Him.
Thus may there be brought into material activities that as
will bring help, hope, joy. DO same, not as a duty, not as a
buying of self-esteem, but in love, in hope, in expectancy.
For the Lord loveth those who expect much of Him, in giving
much of themselves - JOYOUSLY!
Let thy social life, thy family life, thy purposes and thy
desires, be towards Him; and JOY will reign YET in thy home,
thy heart, thy life, thy purpose, thy ALL.
Before that the entity was in the Persian or Arabian land of
the "city in the hills and the plains," when there were those
periods of disturbance through the activities of the
Grecians in the land.
The entity was BEAUTIFUL in body, in purpose and hopes; and
entered into those activities as one seeking a way or manner
of self-expression; losing in the early experience, gaining
when - through the associations and activities of the teacher
Uhjltd in that land - the entity rather gave self as an
individual, as a personality, in aiding and comforting many.
Thus the entity brought to itself earthly gains as well as
the greater ability to be of a mental and spiritual service
to others.
The name then was Ometa.
As to the abilities of the entity, then, - that to which it
may attain, and how:
Hold fast to that which became the purpose as the daughter of
the priest in the temple rebuilt. Build it again - as thou
would know and find thy way, in thy home, in thy
associations. For, it is ever here a little, there a little,
line upon line, precept upon precept. Not as hardships, not
as routine nor ritual alone; but LOVINGLY, gently, kindly,
speak oft to those about thee and to thy Maker. For, YET a
home will be builded, and thy children about thee may call
thee blessed, - if ye will harken to that search deep within
thy consciousness!
Ready for questions.
(Q) How can I help my children?
(A) In the ways and manners as we have indicated; by
bringing them up in the nurture, in the admonition of doing
the first things first, "Seek the kingdom while it may be
found, and when thou art old thou wilt not depart from same."
(Q) How can I help my son [...] find himself?
(A) In being as a companion, as a pal to him, in his seeking
for the manners and ways of expressing himself.
(Q) Regarding various business interests, please advise me
as to the following: First, shall I sell the farm?
(A) Rather as we find, HOLD; and let its activity bring to
self the awareness, through the various seasons, of the JOY
of being close to nature - a manifestation of thy Maker; also
in aiding and helping the others to whom it means so much.
We would not purchase others, however.
(Q) Shall I try to work in my own [...] & [...] business?
(A) This may come a bit later. First, get thy own self
satisfied in the hopes, the purposes, the desires; and if it
leads to a means of expression through such, very well. But
it shall be with the spirit and purpose that has been
indicated throughout.
(Q) Shall I continue my Red Cross Motor Corp. work?
(A) Continue same.
(Q) Is there any other way I can help my Dad?
(A) In finding an interest in, and expressing and
manifesting - by activity - the desire to help, - this as we
find will be the most help, or bring the most help.
(Q) Please explain the following to me: First, why am I
afraid of the dark?
(A) As has been indicated, darkness has come into the
experience more than once. This may only be conquered in the
conscious awareness of the presence, the help, of a universal
Father-God.
(Q) Why do I get so lonesome?
(A) As has been indicated.
(Q) Why do I get so homesick?
(A) Again indicated in analyzing the experiences through the
material sojourns. MEET it in the present, - not in feeling
sorry for self, but in the effort to bring help, to bring joy
in the experiences of others about thee.
(Q) Why do I have so few friends?
(A) Ye have MANY friends! Be not so distant, but - if ye
would have friends, know the law - ye must show thyself
friendly! Not merely as one buying social or material
notice; but being KIND, being gentle, showing love - as ye
have sought in thy own experience; showing a real affection
for those not so fortunate in so many ways as thyself.
(Q) How can I best adjust myself to the passing of my
husband, and carry on as I should?
(A) As has been indicated - in the manners as we have
outlined.
Keep close to that assurance that he LIVETH!
We are through for the present.
