TEXT

1. EC: (Going back to birth date) Petrov - [?] [Petrovsk?].
2. We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [2682].
3. In entering the present experience, astrologically, we find the entity coming under the influences of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, with those astrological aspects of Aries.
4. In the developments as are manifested and latent in the experiences of the present entity, many of those inclinations may be altered and changed for good, will there be the activity of the mental being towards the manner IN which the self reacts to circumstances and conditions as arise in this experience.
5. Through the sojourns in the earth there are definite conditions that make for those influences that appear to be contrarywise on their surface, yet the happy-go-lucky attitude of the body has often altered the circumstance. Well that this be taken now more seriously; not in the attitude as to become morose, long-faced, nor to worry over those seeming hindrances that arise in the experience of the entity, but having developed for a fittedness that carried in the manner in which the body would make for self a MATERIAL application OF these abilities, may bring an awakening to the mental, the physical and the spiritual being, bringing contentment in the good being accomplished, as well as in the amount and the manner of the income of this world's goods. WELL, however, that this be MARKED as a warning to the entity: The mis-USE of these abilities, either in neglect or in the advantages that they may give to the body-consciousness, the physical-being, over others, will only bring disorders, disruption, and chaos in many ways. Used aright, there will come that BIRTHRIGHT OF the entity, that has been builded in the experiences OF the entity, and may now become manifested, crystallized, in the activities in this present experience, bringing to self those things that will make OR mar self's development in this present experience.
6. In the likes and dislikes as are innate in the entity:
7. From those in Mars come not only the sports, but those things as pertain to - particularly - TORMENTS, as it were, in the experience of some. These are but those things that border close to those various influences in the entity. This turned, as it were, to the desire of making self's life, self's endeavors, self's experience, as a channel for blessings to others, in the relief in body-mind and body-consciousness, will bring to the entity a PROGRESSIVE, true SUCCESSFUL experience in the present, with position, fame and fortune - but don't let it make a fool of you!
8. In the influences in Jupiter, as is seen, with this soon arising in the influence in the earth, will bring not only a tendency for a quieting of the fears of those in power in the earth, THROUGHOUT the earth - whether in the financial, the spiritual, the social or material affairs OF the earth - but also in self will bring for that period when a decision MUST be made, WILL be made, as to what the FUTURE in the present experience is to be, and is to MEAN to the entity. The decision should be made as soon after the fifteenth of the present month as possible.
9. In those influences from Venus, while this tends to bring that love influence in associations, easily making friends, easily meeting any circumstance and condition in the moral and physical life, yet these should be AGAIN as warnings: That ENTANGLEMENTS of the heart, of the fleshly desires, do NOT mar that ABILITY of self in WHATEVER direction the activities of self are chosen to be directed.
10. In the appearances, then, and the effect these have upon the present experience:
11. In the one then before this we find in this PRESENT land of sojourn, rather than of the nativity of the entity. That in and about that THEN known as Dearborn, was the entity's sojourn, being among those then that were of the peoples that partook both of the native of the land and of those who entered there. The entity brought, for MANY, disorders and uneasiness, and those things that made for hardships in the lives of many; in others that satisfaction of those things as pertain to the ideas and ideals of the peoples in the place. The entity then a warrior of note, and was THEN called Hawk, the Red [GD's note: Mr. [2682] had red hair and was nicknamed RED by many of his friends.], in that experience, and built for self that as might have been TERMED by that peoples, and by those that look only upon material success, as one of fame; for both fame and fortune came to the Hawk in this experience. In the present that tendency to think here, there; not able to see in a direct direction unless aided or pointed out by those that are SETTLED within their OWN minds; yet the abilities to do, the abilities to carry forward, the abilities to aid, and STILL the abilities to be the leader, are innate. Then, study self, self's abilities, self's associations, self's relations with individuals, groups, classes and masses, and know that as is desired to be builded, that as is desired to be attained by self, and that is foundation must NOT be in the gratifying of self's own interests alone, nor should self's OWN interest be FIRST and foremost, but that the things, conditions, as pertain to material, spiritual and mental life, must be the outcome OF the EFFORTS of self IN the direction to be of service to others, in meeting all those turmoils as were brought in that experience.
12. In the one then before this we find in that land NOW known as the Roman, and during those periods when there were the ESTABLISHING of the baths and the places of recreation, and such, for those that ruled. The entity then among those who led in such building, in such laying out of plans in such activities, for those to improve the material body, for the manifestation of the DESIRES of the MENTAL body. The entity both gained and lost through the experience. Gained in the service RENDERED. Lost in getting the active force in that direction that life and its experiences were to gratify desires of the eye, desires of the heart, the desires of the flesh. In getting the understanding, then, in this experience, let those activities of self in bringing to others those things that may aid in the uplifting, or building up of the body-PHYSICAL, be interspersed with that which will build the mental and spiritual body also. THEN may the service be service indeed; for "He that would be the greatest among you will be the servant of all." In the name, then, Pioladia.
13. In the one then before this we find in that period when there had been the overrunning of the land now known as Persia, and during those periods when there was the establishing of that center about the leader who overran the land from the nomads. The entity then among those that later gathered in this center, and aided in the preparations of the place, the land, the places ABOUT the land, for the sojourn OF the peoples. The entity gained through this experience, for much of that as was gained by the ruler in this experience was MANIFESTEDLY given by the entity in that period. Hence EMANATIONS, as of electronic force, are of special interest to the entity; as electrical vibration and its activities are. Hence in the present (as THIS the developing period, and as this the one most active in the experience of the entity) may be turned into weal or woe. The field not so much of ELECTRICITY, as of electronic emanations - as may aid in dispersing and relieving the bodies of those AFFLICTED in mind AND body, should be the study, the field in which the entity may GAIN the greater development in mental, material and spiritual self. This applied PROPERLY, IN the self - and that as is NOW given by those studying in that particular field [Chicago? 165-19?] (where destruction was brought by the entity) in the present, these may aid the entity in FINDING that self, or that field of the endeavor in the present, may bring aid to others, help to self, DESIRES of life - if properly applied. In the name then Udjhiel.
14. In the one then before this we find in that period in the experience when the Atlantean forces were as of power in the world. The entity then among those of the rulers, the leaders of the peoples, and able in the period to bring into being - through a knowledge and understanding of the aeromic, aero-electronic, aeriforms of life, into activity in the destruction of matter, or the changing of form of matter in this material plane. The entity gained in the first portion, lost MISERABLY when these turned to the gratifying of self's own interests. While those things of the earth, as earthy, were abundant, the destructive forces were in turning these to self's own interest at the EXPENSE of others.
15. In the abilities, then, in the present of this entity, would be - as we find - in that field; aiding others in their ills. Not as a doctor, wholly, yet AS a physician, or as an emanant [?], emanating, emissant [?], ACTIVE force among those. Seek and the entity gives. that as may be called electronic in its activity, yet is so separate as to be aeriform in its activity; for as each body is both a receiving and sending station, as a radio, so may the emanations be altered or changed for good or bad, dependent upon that as is to be sent out to be active UPON same. This sounds deep, but once understood is simple! Study it. Use it. Apply it, and make something of self for the good of others as WELL as self. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) How can I make the proper contact to get into this work?
    (A) Find the relationships that are in accord WITH these. Then make the contacts.
17. (Q) Would this be in the line of Dr. Frischkorn's work in Norfolk?
    (A) Well, not hardly! It's so much higher than that, that it doesn't compare!
18. (Q) The body doesn't understand just the line of work it is to do.
    (A) First contact those who have an understanding of emanations, as electronic in their activity, and through the study of same become one DISPENSING same to others. Be a DYNAMO within self, through those that may be builded by self to aid others!
19. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. He previously secured four Physical Readings.

REPORTS

1. 2/15/40 Mr. [257]'s letter: "I was up to see Dr. Louis H, Backman [Physical Therapist, wonderful doctor, German refugee] - he seems to have helped [2682] too." [GD's note: We referred Mr. [2682] to Dr. Mary Miller, D.C., who used an etheronics machine in her practice, thinking perhaps it was the type referred to in his reading.]
2. 1/24/49 Dr. LeRoy Coombs' (D.O., M.D.) letter to HLC: "I understand through Mr. [2682] that your father gave several rdgs. on 'Ether Therapy' and advised him to study and be an operator in this field. Should you or your associates be interested, I practice 'Ether Therapy' with the Radioclast continuously with other forms of Physical Therapy. Am enclosing a circular regarding it."
3. GD's note: He [2682] tried for years to get into a line of work suggested but was never able to make connections. He finally went into business for himself as an Electrical Contractor and was very successful. He also was "a power for good" as suggested in his reading; this was especially true in relation to the work of Edgar Cayce, as he has done much through the years to promote it.
4. 2/07/61 GD's note: He has to this day remained active and helpful in the A.R.E. work.
5. 1/26/76 He [2682] wrote GD: "Can't tell you how many times I think of you and A.R.E... I have been out of step with a lot of things for the past few years, and I'm trying very hard to get back with it again."
