In the one before this we find in that land now known as
England, and during those periods when there was the
physical upheaval as respecting the status of the ruler
and those ruled. The entity among those peoples that would
be termed, in a material sense, the rebellious TO those
peoples that ruled. Then in the name Elhia, and of those
that followed close with Cromwell in that period, being of
the HOUSEHOLD of those that aided later in the execution
of the king. During and in this experience the entity
gained, and lost; gained in the service as rendered to
others in giving the abilities through influence TO those
that might hold to an ideal of being free in the service
as might be rendered by individuals, both to the spiritual
and material forces. Hence the religious warfare as was
waged was SACRED to the entity in that experience. LOSING
only in attempting to force OTHERS to see self's own point
of view. In the present we find INNATELY those of history
of the fights for freedom, whether of political, religious,
or of an economical disturbance, are of interest TO the
entity; yet INNATELY so, yet seeking oft to know that which
prompted individuals, groups or masses, to be led in any
GIVEN direction. A SEEKER as it were, by nature, from
experiences in this sojourn. This applied in the present
experience may be made of inestimable value, but the proper
standard, the proper measurements, must be given TO those
studied, and that standard that CREATIVE FORCE that is
EVER constructive in its activity upon human souls or
human events.
In the one then before this we find in that land known
now as the Roman, and among those peoples in power, in the
household of one Pompeia (?). The entity gained through
this experience. While being in the household, and in the
order of those in power, the entity chose rather that New
Reasoning that was being introduced by those prisoners,
as well as the peoples of the new faith from Judea. The
entity suffered much, in mind and in person, during the
portion of this sojourn; yet MANY came to know of ideals
that enabled individuals, groups and masses, to LIVE the
life irrespective of the MATERIAL discomforts brought in
their experience. In this the entity gained. In the
present may be seen the religious tendencies, or fervor,
of the entity; yet from this same experience comes many
of those periods when there is a questioning of self, as
in that sojourn, as to whether the weight of self's OWN
activities are equal to those POSSIBILITIES of the entity
in given directions. Hence the tendency of self-condemnation
that has crept in. In this the entity may, through
those experiences, bring to self that knowledge that
the CONDEMNATION is laid on Him and not on self. Not
that there is a SHIELDING of self, but rather being SHIELDED
in Him; for in knowing the truth one becomes free indeed
in Him.
In the one then before this we find in that land, that
experience, now known as the Egyptian, and during those
periods when turmoils and strifes arose through the
banishment of the priest, the law interpreter at that period.
The entity among those of the temple service that aided the
priest, in those that applied themselves in the temple
WORSHIP as pertaining to those offerings of the peoples in
that experience. The entity among those who remained in the
temple throughout the banishment of the priest. With the
return, and the establishing of the dissemination of the
truths, the entity arose to that position of the PRIESTESS in
the temple worship that aided in the disseminating of the
truths as were propounded, as were gained, through that
experience; and much that the entity put into practice, that
the entity disseminated to others, may still be found in
those places yet to be uncovered. The entity in name Ra-Tu.
In this experience the entity gained throughout, for those
tenets as came - even through the faltering periods - brought
much to those peoples during those periods, and to the
entity, in its relationships to others and to the Creative
Forces.
In the abilities, then, of the entity - in that the entity
is able, capable, in finding self, to give to others -
as an interpreter, a disseminator of truths, that - made
applicable in the experience of others - may bring that
joy and that peace as comes from the Prince of Peace; as
He gave, "I go that the comforter may come, and He will
abide WITH thee always!" So the entity, finding self,
losing self in that as may be gained through the contact
of, the association of, those ideas and ideals as gained
even in that experience, may - with the coming of those
periods when, not only self but may it be said of self -
"Even the stars in their courses will fight for the entity"
in aiding others to understand their relationships with the
Creative Forces and their fellow man!
Then, be up and doing; knowing that the day approaches when
there must be given that opportunity for a service in His
name; keeping the heart singing; keeping the mind open, and
that peace as cometh only from Him that gave, "My peace I
give unto thee, not as the world gives peace - but as Him
to whom I go - the way YE know - the way ye may keep!"
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why is it my son and I are not congenial, when we
worship each other so?
(A) The IDEALS of each are so far apart. Will those
LITTLE things, where the ideas of each conform, be the
more MAGNIFIED, there will come more of that congeniality,
that love, that ability of self to instill faith, hope and
confidence, will be builded in that association, a making
for a better relationship in this direction. Know, as self
would be done by, so do unto others. "Who IS my mother?
Who is my brother and sister? He that doeth the will of
the Father, the same is my mother, my brother, my sister."
(Q) What relationship was there with my husband and myself
in past lives?
(A) There are more than one relationship. In the one in
the Roman, as in the same household - and one the servant
of, and co-laborer with, the other. In those experiences
in the Egyptian period, those in the same relationships that
brought for that division as arose in the disseminations of
those things gained. Hence the variations as arose.
We are through for the present.
