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, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2460].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these must necessarily in a manner be condensed; yet these are chosen with the desire and purpose that this be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling it to analyze the motives, to understand latent and manifested urges.
4. Thus, with the consideration of its ideal, the entity will be better able to fill that purpose for which it chose an entrance at this period.
5. The entity may thus become more and more aware of its relationships to the Creative Forces, and give expressions of same in the relationships one with another; realizing, as has been given, that as ye do unto the least of these - thy brethren - ye do unto thy Maker.
6. In relation to activities as we find indicated here, these are virtues in the experiences of this entity. Thus in its daily activity, while the lines of endeavor should deal with the things of the earth, the entity should deal also primarily with those who labor with same.
7. Hence in the fields of activity as an overseer, supervisor, or the like, the entity may find the outlet and the manner for giving greater expressions of those abilities which are latent and manifested in the experience and the records of this entity.
8. Thus, in giving the interpretations as we find them here, much of the faults may be minimized and much of the virtues may be stressed.
9. When the composite urges are considered from the material and the astrological activities, - many of those about the entity find that the entity is oftimes discouraged yet would give expression to the most optimistic outlook. Hence the entity gives the impressions to others that it is not wholly truthful at all times, as would be considered by some. This in the entity is not a fault, - most of the fault being in those who would pass judgement on those who attempt to put the best foot forward.
10. For, the entity lives and acts towards others - as has been indicated - as a channel through which greater expression, greater spiritual, mental - yea, material things may come. Thus the entity is especially fitted for directing the activities of those in lesser position, or who are less able to present their claim from the purely physical or material angle.
11. More often than otherwise, then, the entity will find self representing the cares and problems of others. Thus, ever will the entity carry burdens upon its mental and its physical self.
12. These urges, then, need to be understood by the entity as well as by those about the entity. For, to few does encouragement in word mean as much as it does to this entity.
13. Astrological aspects to the entity mean little. Yet, they have their place in the urges and the inclinations which at times present themselves in the experiences of the entity.
14. Mercury gives the abilities of the entity to consider the problems as a whole. This tends to make for the optimistic outlook. This also tends to make those urges in which the entity sees problems, conditions or activities, as a finished product rather than the detail necessary for the completing of same.
15. This is where the entity needs to take more counsel with self in the determining conditions and factors, or problems. See more of the detail, and there will be less of that expression that gives others the impression oft that there is the lack of thoroughness in the ability of the entity for varied problems.
16. We find in Venus both the benevolent and rather the extravagant appreciation of finer things. Hence we find the entity is one oft worshiping from afar, as it were; appreciating those abilities in others and giving expressions of same that cause questionings at times in the associates of the entity. Yet these, too, are virtues. For, the cat can look at a king and be the gainer; and so could the king - if he would see the worshipfulness in the gaze or the thought.
17. From the activities in Jupiter we find the universality, as well as the urges toward benevolence in its broader sense.
18. In these things we find the associations with the groups and with the fellowman, particularly as related to things and their dealing with same.
19. As to the urges arising from the appearances in the earth, - we find these more expressive through the emotions of the entity.
20. The entity is rather an emotional individual, as may be indicated in analyzing same from the astrological aspects; and these become more accentuated from the material or earthly sojourns.
21. Not all of the sojourns may be indicated at once, but those as we find that have their activity in the problems and experiences of the entity in the present.
22. Know that these change, as does the body, about every seven years; unless one becomes satisfied in body, mind and spirit, so that such have become atrophied.
23. As to the sojourns, then:
24. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, especially when there were those turmoils that arose from activities upon the borders of the land, when there were those journeying from the land who later returned to the activities there.
25. The entity was in and about the land of its present environ, being active in the preparations for better conditions in the land - in the way of aiding unemployment, in that of road building, in the divisions of lands, in the overseeing of the harvesting of crops and the preparation of same for distribution, - not only in the various portions of the land but for shipment to other lands.
26. In all of those activities did the entity engage; and many of those about the entity in the present were among the associates or acquaintances of the entity during that period of activity.
27. Not as much stress was given by the entity upon the spiritual life as there is sought to be expressed in the present. Hence we find those periods in the present when there is the allowing of spiritual imports to be placated by needs of the moment in material things. These may become stumblingstones to the entity.
28. Let there be first considered the spiritual life and the imparting of same through the associations of every form and manner. For, the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the silver and the gold are His. He tempereth those whom He would entrust with the material as well as mental and spiritual blessings in a material experience.
29. For, as He has given, never has there been the seed of the righteous man begging bread.
30. Before that the entity was in the Roman land, during those activities of the soldiers in the Palestine land; the entity being among the legions that were stationed through the various portions of Palestine - during and following the persecution of those who sought to become more closely affiliated with the teachings of the Master.
31. There the entity was not only among the guard of Cornelius but also of Oxidus (?) [Archippus?] in Laodicea. For, there the entity first came under the direct activities of the church established by Lucius and his followers and associates.
32. Through the greater portion of its experience and sojourn in the land, the entity was an active member in keeping down even the disputes that arose among the Jews as well as the centurion or Roman guard.
33. In the experience the entity gained the more. For, as indicated, there lies in the entity at present the ability to keep peace among those who labor daily and those who are as the keepers of the activities of those who thus labor.
34. The entity through that experience, then, gained in its abilities; bringing into this present experience the urges not only in those directions of church and social activities but also in regard to material gains or relations.
35. Then the name was Pollos.
36. Before that the entity was in the Peruvian land, as now called, where there were those activities that followed the disturbances from the destruction of the Atlantean land.
37. The entity was among those very close to the Inca that ruled during that experience.
38. Thus we find the desires latent, that are expressed in the spiritual emotions as a worshiper of those things just above the entity - in mind, in person, in position, in problems. For, the entity led those who prepared the soil for providing the provisions, and also the mining and mineral interests of the land, as well as the building and constructive forces.
39. For, the entity then was one upon whom the Inca depended for the relationships with the masses of the peoples.
40. The name then was Omhar.
41. Before that the entity was active when there were those first separations of the sons of those who were saved at the periods when the ark settled upon Ararat, and when the divisions arose just before the activities in the tower of Babel.
42. We find the entity attempted to create the better relationships with the various groups of individuals, and those who sought to make for disturbances that brought dissensions among the sons of Noah. For, the entity attempted to carry on those tenets and conditions which had been presented by his grandfather Noah in that period.
43. Yet the entity was overridden by those of power, might and position.
44. Hence latently, though he may find expression in over- activity, we find that the entity feels himself a little bit beneath that he attempts to gain.
45. The name then was Jeurepth.
46. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
47. First, - analyze self and self's problems; physically, mentally, spiritually. Know that these depend one upon the other, and that to be creative they must bear the imprint of the spiritual life.
48. Study then, and know the author of thy ideal, and show thyself approved unto same.
49. That field of activity in which the entity may deal with the soil should be the work or endeavor in the material relationships; and yet as a supervisor or overseer - whether it be in that of road building or in construction of any nature. These will offer channels through which the entity may be the material gainer, as well as finding a field for the expression of the abilities that lie within the entity.
50. Do not attempt to be in business for self; for you mistrust self too oft. Let thy left hand know not what thy right hand doeth, oft.
51. Do not belittle or condemn self. KNOW you are right - then go ahead.
52. Ready for questions.
53. (Q) Please suggest channels through which I may find the opportunities as overseer, or those in connection with the earth?
    (A) As just given, in ANY that would have to do with land, or road building, or construction, or ANY of such fields of activity.
54. (Q) What associations in past incarnations causes the feeling of irritation toward my son [...], and how may I overcome this?
    (A) In the building of Babel, as well as in Laodicea. [5/19/65 GD's note: I heard that Mr. [2460]'s son has been named Asst. Mgr. of the mortgage loan dept. of a big insurance co.]
55. (Q) What were my past associations with my wife, [2330], that have created our present problems and how may I meet these conditions for our mutual development?
    (A) Worshiped from afar in the experience just before this; as a companion or a relationship of those with whom the entity labored. And, so close - oft - not all that glitters seems bright.
56. (Q) Give my past associations with my sister [1523], explain the urges, that we may be helpful to each other in the present.
    (A) The associations were as brother and sister, during the return of those to the land; being one among those whom the entity aided. They lose patience one with the other, just as they did then.
    These are to be turned, of course, into channels in which there will be "give and take". No one individual knows it all, though each of you feel you do at times!
57. (Q) What was the name in that incarnation?
    (A) George Rawhl.
58. (Q) Suggest daily affirmation in making myself a better channel.
    (A) LORD, HERE AM I; SEEKING TO KNOW THY WAY WITH ME, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH I MAY MINISTER TO THOSE OF MY FELLOW MEN - IN SUCH A WAY, AND IN SUCH MEASURES, THAT THEY MAY KNOW THOU ART MINDFUL OF ALL WHO SEEK THY FACE! KEEP THE WAY OPEN THAT I MAY BE USED AS A BLESSING TO MANY.
59. We are through for the present.
