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: (In going back over years from the present - " - '39 - changes - '27 - anxieties - '14 - yes - '12 - change - '09 - '87 - an illness - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2625].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, much has been accomplished in spiritual developments in this material plane. Thus the interpretations of the records as we find them are given as an encouragement, as well as with the hope and purpose that this may be a helpful experience for this entity; enabling the entity to further fulfil those purposes for which it entered this material plane.
5. The virtues we would magnify, the faults we would minimize. For, each has its own purposes - as well as the fulfilling of the laws that are of the universal or creative nature. These have been growths, developments for the entity in this material experience.
6. While there are astrological aspects, and while sojourns through the earth have brought, do bring continuous urges, yet that which has been builded in the present may not be lauded too much.
7. For, while trials, tribulations, anxieties have been a part of the entity's present experience, we find that despite these, in the face of much opposition at times from the various sources of latent urges, the entity has held to that purpose which brings in the present an experience as of a journey made straight, as a pathway to those with whom the entity has or may come in contact, as a light to many in dark places.
8. Let that light then be kept bright in thy dealings, in thy application of thy abilities in the present; that there may come those admonitions from the great power in man's consciousness of the closer walk with Him.
9. The astrological aspects in the present may have little influence. For, as has been indicated here, those urges that arise either from sojourns during the interims or from the experiences in the earth DO NOT exceed the WILL of an individual entity. And, as this entity has set that as may indeed be an example to many, meeting the problems and applying those things that are the fruits of the spirit of truth, - patience, love, longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, - these have brought, do bring into the entity's experience an appreciation from those with whom the entity may come in contact day by day.
10. For, as the Lord hath given, they that sow the fruit of the spirit do not find it returning emptyhanded, but full of love, of thought, of care, of appreciation.
11. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are the ruling influences in the entity's present experience, as they have been through portions of the experience through this present sojourn, as well as in others.
12. Saturn also indicates the changes that have come about suddenly, and yet with the application of love and care and tenderness and thought there has grown more and more of the beauty of life, and of the patience to bear with problems that to many would have been overpowering.
13. In Mercury there is the ability to choose wisely. Hence counsel from the entity should be harkened to by others.
14. Venus, - love, beauty, service - these have been a part of the entity's application.
15. Jupiter, - benevolence, as well as the appreciation of association with masses, individually applied.
16. These, then, are those latent and manifested spiritual urges that are so a part of this entity's experience.
17. As to sojourns in the earth, while these have been many, only a few - in comparison to the many - may be indicated here.
18. Thus, while the entity has appeared calm oft under stress, yet because of the constant growth, the constant development and the appreciation of that law of love, - he that is the greatest among you will be the servant, the helper, the aid for all, - a period has come in which the entity may indeed enter into the joys of a living Lord.
19. Know that the creative forces are not dead, but He is God of the living - not of the dead.
20. Then, keep thy heart YOUNG! Keep thy purpose true. Let that mind be in thee as was in Him, that ye present thy body, thy mind, a holy sacrifice, acceptable unto Him.
21. As to the appearances, then:
22. Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, in those periods of reconstruction following that known as the American Revolution.
23. The entity then entered the present land of sojourn in that now known as Massachusetts. And in the activities which followed, in the spreading of knowledge, of truth, of those purposes which had been a part of that upon which there had been the establishment of the government of the land as for the people, by the people, through those leaders, the entity was associated with that entity Adams - John Q.
24. In that experience the entity brought hope to many, as to their abilities MENTALLY to become equal with those in the various pursuits in the land of that period.
25. Hence we find the entity, as Marcia Robbeling, was an influence for helpfulness, hopefulness to the young. And thus, as indicated in the abilities of the entity in the present, the care of those who may become channels through which greater blessings may come in the earth in the experiences of man, has been, is the channel through which the entity may contribute to making the earth better for the entity having lived in same.
26. This should be the purpose, the desire of each and every soul. And this entity's activities might indeed be a living example for those who would seek to know their way with their fellow man, in filling those purposes of MAGNIFYING the glory of a living God in the experiences of man.
27. In the experience the entity found those activities that brought in association those of various groups throughout the land.
28. Thus in the present may find those activities as a part of the experience, in the JOY of service to those who supply the activities of others.
29. Before that the entity was in the Austrian or Hungarian land.
30. There the entity was only in the experience a short time, yet in contact with a close associate in the present experience - to whom the entity brought that experience of life itself.
31. For, the entity then was a daughter of Liszt, that made for an indication of those activities in the appreciation of harmony, of song, of music.
32. Thus in the present may the entity contribute much, in aiding to supply the physical and mental needs to a musician.
33. Before that the entity was in the Persian and Arabian land, when there were those activities from same in which there was the spreading of the tenets of truth by the teachings in the "city in the hills and the plains." [7 to 9 thousand B.C.?]
34. The entity then was among the emissaries sent to the English land. There the entity made contributions for the gatherings of groups or definite service, aiding in the creating of groups for a common defense, a common cause.
35. Thus the entity made its contribution to creative influences, during those early settlings in that land, - not only of the Norse people but of the Huns as well, that became a part of that trying period in the early portions of that land's activity. [GD's note: History mentions Huns as far back as 600 B.C. & Norway 14,000 years inhabited.]
36. The name then was Auguer.
37. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there was the amalgamation of ideas and purposes from the religious as well as the activities which brought together those of various groups. [12,500 B.C.?]
38. For the entity, while of the Egyptian peoples, made for relationships with those of the Atlantean land. These brought those periods of activities in that land.
39. In that experience the entity made contributions in the preparation of body for the propagation of spirit with the purpose of the Law of One.
40. These have been and are latent and materially manifested purposes, deep within the soul-entity, from that experience.
41. Before that, during the early activity when there were those preparations for the preserving of man's activity in the earth, - the entity was the mother of that entity who was the companion of Japheth, when there were the preparations of the ark. [28,000 B.C.? See 470-22.]
42. The entity was that one who contributed to those abilities for that daughter who in her associations brought to the earth the line of activity, the purposes to hold to love as well as purpose.
43. The name then was Lapeth.
44. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then:
45. Rather would there be indicated that, each soul that may study the life experiences of this entity may gather something from those purposes that have prompted the activities of this entity through the material plane.
46. May each entity take a lesson and do likewise, that would seek to know the manner in which to apply its individual habit, its individual talent, in those ways in which this entity has applied them.
47. In the abilities - who may call the rose beautiful? Who may tell the rose how to shed its beauty or its fragrance? Who may tell the violet WHERE to apply its essence, its odor, or to gather its beauty? For, that it is given - according to the law of same - by the Giver of all beauty, all grace, all mercy; and may be the experience of each soul that may apply same in its dealings with its fellow man as has and does the entity in the present.
48. Then, the entity's life, the entity's service, the entity's experience may indeed be a sermon of love in the lives of those who may come in contact with same.
49. Blessed and fortunate indeed may those be, and are, upon whom this entity looks to call blessed.
50. Ready for questions.
51. (Q) What has been my former connection with the following, and how may I best help them in the present? First, [2425]?
    (A) Oft there have been the associations. The greater was in the experiences when the entity was the mother of that entity now known as [2425], during those periods just before what is called the flood.
    A close associate through those activities from the Persian to the English land, in that experience.
    In the experience before this, known of and acquainted with. In the present, as has been and may be gathered from paralleling the lives, not only of the offspring in the present, - there may be brought that consistency of purpose, that beauty of living for a purpose.
52. (Q) [2627]?
    (A) In the experience that has been indicated - the period of the flood.
53. (Q) [2607]?
    (A) In the Hungarian land, the mother of the entity.
54. (Q) Should I continue making my home with [2425]?
    (A) By all means!
55. (Q) What may I mean in the life of our new baby, [2607]?
    (A) Life itself, purpose itself, towards music.
56. (Q) How may I best help my nephew, [...], who is on a merchant ship?
    (A) In thy prayers keep him close to those purposes that have prompted thy experience in the earth. Remember him oft.
57. (Q) My sister, who is in the old country?
    (A) Through encouragements to hold fast to the purposes as declared by Him.
58. (Q) Please give any advice that will help me to be of a greater service.
    (A) Let thy meditation and prayer oft be, but in thine own words:
    "LORD, REMEMBER THOU THY SERVANT, IN MERCY AND IN LOVE; THAT I MAY CHOOSE THE RIGHT THINGS TO SAY, TO DO, IN MY DEALINGS WITH THOSE I LOVE, THOSE I CARE FOR, DAY BY DAY."
59. We are through for the present.
