TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [2746], born October 9, 1912, in Warm Springs, Ga., and the earthly existence of this entity as Tek-El-La, in Egypt. You will give the biographical, physical, mental and spiritual life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, its ideals and purposes from entrance and how, to departure; giving the development and purposes or retarding points in that existence and the influences from same in the present; stressing those periods that represent the present era, and that which will enable the entity to better fulfill the purposes for which it entered this sojourn, giving in detail that type of class or work engaged in; giving the associations with his present wife [2454], then known as Eu-Eul-Lo, his present son [2542] then known as Ax-Ten-Tor, also any information that may be of historical value. You will answer the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2746] as Tek-El-La in the Egyptian experience.
3. In giving a biographical sketch it is well that much of that termed history be reviewed, as to the happenings of the time. For the entity was rather an active individual in the capacity of advisor, or sometimes watcher between the King and the Priest and the activities pertaining to banishment and the return, and then the closer associations with the Priest in the capacity as an emissary - with activities among other groups.
4. The entity, in the period of anxieties between the King and the counselors, and the propaganda, brought about by certain members of the King's council, was then close in the activities of the King, not as a counselor, but more in the capacity as a secretary, an emissary or a go-between as a secretary between the King, the Priest and many of those of the council.
5. The entity was among those peoples who had entered Egypt, being among the young men near the age of the King; thus an associate, a companion. So, when the Young king was put into authority the entity was as a personal advisor rather than in the capacity of a counselor of the people; rather a personal counselor, a personal secretary, a personal friend and acted in the capacity of sometimes preparing some of the propaganda devised by some of the counselors against the Priest.
6. But the conditions devised by the council or some of the counselors for the lowering of the activities or the general conditions of the Priest were to the entity most amusing. For the companionship between the dancer and the King had been such that the entity had warned the King, as a personal counselor, about he interest of the dancer in the activities of the Priest. Thus these brought rather the form of, "Well, I told you so," and "What did you expect, when you allowed yourself to be controlled by such an one with such a power over the opposite sex?" These were rather as the railings of the entity. Thus the entity acted as a watcher or as a counselor to the King, watching the activities of the Priest and the dancer.
7. When there were the periods of banishment, when this became a fact, the entity chose, asked permission to see, to know, to be among those who would see, where, how the care was given to the Priest and the associate or companion in their banishment. After the period of such years when there was the decision that there would be the recalling of the Priest, the entity was sent as one of those to acquaint the Priest and the companion personally, from the King, as to their return to those activities in the Egyptian land.
8. With the return and the rejuvenation of the Priest, the interest of the entity was aroused in the Priest's determination to prepare individuals or groups for activities as emissaries.
9. Thus the entity sought permission of the King to become one of those in the service of the Temple Beautiful, or in the school or college that prepared the groups or individuals to become emissaries to other lands.
10. The entity chose the Carpathian and the Gobi land, as those lands where the entity as an emissary could be better acquainted with the sources from which not only the King but the Priest had received their training; and the entity prepared itself to establish better relationships with the peoples in the Gobi land.
11. Thus the entity and those who were in authority in the Gobi land found much in common. It would be well that such relationships come about in the present, it would be well for these to meet and to be conscious of the position of each.
12. The activities of the entity throughout that period were in relation to the friendships that in the present make the entity a leader, a counselor with those of other groups. As the entity applies self in the present, and as we have indicated, while there is a great deal of travel upon the sea, there must be the preparations for the entity's activities upon the land - if there would be the greater activities of the entity's abilities in supplying to groups that which may be beneficial.
13. It would be well if the entity would work in its activities, on the land through the associations or connections that might be established with or through that one who was the ruler in the Gobi land when the entity was emissary there.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Do you refer to [877]?
    (A) The ruler there, in the present known as [877].
16. (Q) What was my association then with my present wife [2454]?
    (A) An acquaintance and one from whom much instruction was received in the activities in the Temple.
17. (Q) My son [2542]?
    (A) An associate and a companion, as has been indicated.
18. (Q) Clarify the statement given concerning that period as to my ability to meet or to apply self in relationship to others.
    (A) As an instructor, as a teacher, as an officer or in a director of groups.
19. (Q) What was the nature of my physical form - color of skin?
    (A) Almost copper-colored and in heighth, 5 ft. 11-1/2 inches; weighing about 170 pounds.
20. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/21/44 Wife [2454]'s letter: "[2746]'s reading was received a few days ago. Needless to say we are still in a dither as usual after having one. We thought it a very fine one and will carry it out to the best of our ability."
2. 12/09/44 [2746]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Although I am not there, I too wish to welcome you home. That's where you belong. I know I'm a bit late, but I only heard yesterday that you were back.
   It's been nearly four months now since I've had a Tuesday evening that's meant anything to me. You don't know just how much those few classes that I was lucky enough to attend meant to me. I don't know how long it will be before I will be able to resume where I left off, but I'll wait and be thankful when that day arrives.
   At this moment I'm half way around the world from you, while you are freezing I'm basking in the sun of a tropical isle (and wishing I had the opportunity to freeze, so long as that opportunity was in Va.). Guess that goes to show you the human being is never satisfied.
   A few days ago we crossed the line (Equator) of course we had our ceremony, as sailors have been doing for centuries. Even the war can't stop that. Well the boys elected me to the position of King Neptune Rex, costume and all. Some pictures were taken that are quite good. I'm going to try and get a set for you.
   Sir, out here at nite when the ship is nosing her way through blue waters a man can look up into the heavens and feel pretty close to his Creator. The stars are so bright and big. And the Moon, almost seems human, just out of reach. At such times when I'm out in the evenings [?], I do lots of thinking or meditating you might say. I think that I am beginning to grow, and for that growth I wish to thank you. Yes sir, I know what you are saying but thank you anyway. Never a day goes by that I don't think of Mr. Cayce and also in my prayers.
   Please give my love to Mrs. Cayce and remember me to everyone at the Beach.
   Faithfully, [2746]
3. 5/31/49 Wife [2454]'s report: "[2746] is now hydrographic officer on a cruise to Iceland - two floating laboratories right along together, only one is several miles from the other. He is studying under Dr. Sherwood, head of Oceanography Institute in Washington, D.C., and Dr. Schipps, head of Oceanography Institute of La Jolla, Calif. They are taking tests of the ocean currents, remapping them; will go to England, then through what they call the Atlantic ridge, or the other side of old Atlantis, clear down to Lisbon, Portugal, and then to Africa and back up across; be gone about two months or more.
   "I told [2746] to keep every scrap of his tests, personal notes, etc., even if it didn't seem important. I saw some of their notes on how the earth and the ocean were formed, and it is pitiful the little information they have to go on. ([2746] has been made Lieutenant Commander.)
   "He had a choice; could have chosen a particular spot, but he said he would go wherever he was sent. It is wonderful how God works things out if we will just leave everything in His hands. This is a great opportunity for [2746], in line with information we've gained from the readings of EC, and there's no telling how far-reaching the effect may be of [2746] having such close association with the top ranking men in the oceanography field."
4. 3/29/51 GD's letter to [2746]:
   Dear [2746]:-
   As perhaps you saw from the recent Newsletter, Tom Sugrue is writing a book on prophecy. I've just sent him the address of Commander Walter M. Wynne, U.S.N., who is an expert in oceanography - has maps of land changes - Tom wants to get permission to use the maps in his book. [See Source Key file #2746 for Commdr. Wynne's Outline Map of the U.S.]
   It has occurred to me that while you are stationed in Philadelphia you might get a chance to go visit with Tom and tell him what you have experienced in your tests and re-mapping of the ocean currents during the last two years. You and Comdr. Wynne might find much in common, too. I'll give you the addresses:
   Thomas Sugrue, 33 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y.; Walter M. Wynne, 160 Park Avenue, Elberon, New Jersey (Box 235)
   Love and bye for now, [signed] Gladys
   Your maps and tests, being more recent, may be of more help to Tom than Comdr. Wynne's.
   P.S. Hope you'll be coming home soon.
   P.S. #2 Also how about [877], your third Life Reading told you to meet, since you'd been close in the Gobi land? He is at ...
5. 2/27/52 Wife's letter: "...[2746] likes his job here, in the field of 'propaganda' and is doing real well; only wish he would be able to follow the same line all the time. I wrote some of his lectures and he really got the comments. Guess it disturbed a lot of set ideas. He was complimented by the commandant, so guess he won't get kicked out of the Navy. Then this a.m. his captain asked him if he would do one on Bacteriological Warfare, so think this should be a good one to get our teeth into..."
6. 2/20/63 GD's note: Mr. [2746]' has continued to be actively interested and helpful in the A.R.E. work.
7. See Source Key File #2746 for Comdr. Wynne's U.S. map of coming changes on rising of Atlantis re 2746-3.
