One who in its early experience in this sojourn was oft
considered rather mischievous; digging or meddling into
conditions or things that usually got the entity into
trouble, or into disputations. This was a natural
consequence, as may be seen, and there was the lack of
understanding from others in such experiences. For the
entity, returning soon, sought expression; attempting to find
something - and everything of mysterious nature, as
pertaining to the things called unreal (by some), but things
of a spiritual nature, things as would appear to others to be
only fairy tales the entity sought to understand; has
continually expected and has had some unusual experiences in
this realm of mind, thought and expression.
In giving the latent and manifested urges, these appear
expressive in the astrological aspects, as well as the
experiences or sojourns in the earth.
The astrological find expression in the dreams, the visions,
the daydreaming of the entity. And little, save at periods,
has come to the entity that it dreams of; and yet it is
possible, and may yet be experienced by the entity.
The urges from the earthly appearances find expression in the
emotions. Thus we find the entity at times very emotional,
yet seeking to be alone and at other periods must have
companionship - and then not always understood.
In the astrological urges from Mercury, Venus and Neptune we
find the greater expressions; though Saturn and Jupiter at
times appear to be the greater in the ascendancy.
We find in Mercury the mental abilities, the judgments;
though at times quite contrarywise to thoughts of others.
In Venus we find the love, the surety, and whatever the
entity chooses to do, THAT it does well. Hence the needs
that the entity first analyze itself and its purposes, and to
set definitely for itself an ideal, - spiritually, mentally,
materially. While these may be made one, they each flourish
better in their OWN environ and should not be attempted to be
crossed or judged other than in their own level of conscious
activity.
We find in Neptune the power of water, or of the influences
about same; the creative expression, the ability to aid in
reviving or in giving life to things. And most anything that
would be planted in the earth by the entity would live. And
flowers and those things that are cut from nature blossom or
give off BETTER perfume by being about or on the body of the
entity (and there are few of which this could be said).
In Saturn we find the sudden changes; while Jupiter - with
the changes - has brought rather a universal consciousness or
a development.
These analyzed in the experience and applied in the daily
life may bring a conscious awakening to the entity as to make
the experience more than worth while.
As to the sojourns in the earth, - these, as indicated, have
been quite varied in what might be called their PERIODS of
activity, or long periods and short periods. Yet not all of
these may be given; just those that may give expression of
the latent urges and those that find manifestation in the
entity's associations in the present experience.
Before this, then, the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, among those activities about Chicago or Fort
Dearborn.
Hence all of those areas and the activities there represent
to the entity a definite experience or condition in its
activity in the earth; yet the applications, even of the
urges arising, should in this experience be accomplished far
from that environ.
Through those periods when there was necessity of abandoning
the homes, on account of the warring activities, there came
disturbing influence to the entity - as Susan Nothrop. In
the experience the entity gained, the entity lost, the entity
gained.
During those periods of the early activity, the ability to
associate with and gain from the natives an understanding and
an interpretation of nature, of color, of harmony, of herbs,
the application of mystic rites for the influence and the
mental attitudes of individuals, brought a period of
advancement.
There were the periods of retarding through the doubts as
caused by the necessities in the material activity for the
preservation of life. Later there were the periods of
activity in the southern portion of Michigan and the northern
portion of Ohio, about Toledo. There the entity building the
home, brought about a great understanding among groups of
peoples.
This seems to have been that sought in the present
experience, and yet never quite attained. The doubts still
flourish.
Before that the entity was in the English land, during those
periods just prior to the early Crusades from that land. The
entity then was among those of that faith, that hope, that
development that attempted to raise the activities of the
young through the administration of rites and ritual
influence and force, thus bringing to those of the early
experience their development.
With the periods when the entity saw their application as
they grew to manhood and womanhood, again the entity lost
faith in itself as to its ability.
Thus in the present experience we will find that the entity
may accomplish the more in association or in partnership with
others. Not that the entity may not have the abilities, but
the lack of self-reliance oft causes the moments of
depression and self-condemnation.
The name then was Sophie Kehrn.
Before that the entity was in the Holy Land when those
peoples were being settled or ruled or governed by those
activities of the peoples just entering the land.
The entity then was of those peoples called the Midianites,
yet fostered the tenets of the one true faith, and became
acquainted or associated with the leaders in that period of
activity.
There the entity learned or gained the activity as of
ministering to the physical and mental needs. Thus the
abilities as a teacher, as an instructor, as a healer, arose
from those activities when the entity was associated with the
priestly tribe, - and in the name Zephnet.
The entity gained throughout that experience. From that we
also find the abilities of the entity to fit itself into
varied environs and surroundings, and especially in
associations with peoples whose tenets or influences have
been in other directions.
SOMETHING of tolerance was gained, and it is something to be
developed again and manifested in this experience.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land. There the
entity was among the Natives who were in authority, or those
in the advanced activity when there was the entering of those
from the northern lands; when there was the setting up of the
kingdoms there.
The entity was one ALMOST in authority, yet in that state of
activity in which there were turmoils within self. The
entity was the mother of the Native who brought about those
rebellions in those periods when the Ibex was at its height
of destruction in the land.
With the activities that arose, and the abilities of the
entity to coordinate those of other lands, the entering of
the Atlanteans and the reestablishing of the Priest, the
entity aided in that establishment of the hospitalization,
or that activity which found expression in the Temple of
Sacrifice and the Temple of Beauty.
The entity gained in the latter portion of the experience.
The abilities as a healer come from that sojourn, and this
should be the means of expression. But train someone to work
with thee in same.
Then the name was Zu-Li-On.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to
which it may attain, and how:
Analyze self and self's purposes. Know the ideal, and know
that there must be set the spiritual truths; for the power,
the might for their physical and mental expression must have
its inception in that spiritual ability to arouse to that
consciousness, that awareness as ye have sought and still
seek to attain, - to make spirit, mind and body coordinate in
the purpose of thy soul.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the purpose of the present experience?
(A) As indicated, and as may be analyzed from that gaining
of a greater ability for the application of tolerance, love,
faith.
(Q) Should I remain in present work permanently?
(A) Remain in present work, provided a helper is trained to
work with thee.
(Q) What have been my past relationships with the following:
My husband, [...]?
(A) In the experience before this, not always good - and
eventually those separations in purposes, when there was the
activity needed in the trek to the eastern portion of the
land.
(Q) My son [...]?
(A) In the English activities as well as in the Promised
land, for there he was the son also.
(Q) My daughter [...]?
(A) In Egypt and in Palestine.
We are through for the present.
