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:
EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '42 -
yes, unusual experiences - '41 - '40 changes in the environ -
'39 - " etc., on back to birth date.)
Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or
called [
2776].
In giving an interpretation of the records as we find them
here, much about the entity in the present might tend to
influence same; yet the general character and characteristics
as a unit or as the whole of the entity would be more
desirable, if this information would be a helpful influence
in the experience of the entity through this sojourn in the
earth.
We give this interpretation with the desire that it may
enable the entity, with the application of the tenets
indicated, to better fulfil those purposes for which the
entity entered this present sojourn.
From a composite analysis of astrological aspects as well as
material sojourns, we find these - though these approach
manifestation through varied sources in the experience of the
entity:
One of a very high-minded nature, very exact.
One who would succeed in most any endeavor in which it would
attempt to give the material expression at this time;
especially given to literature and good reading.
One very precise as to its dress.
One that would be very much interested in screen or stage,
and very positive at all times.
As to those urges related to the activities of the entity
through the mental thought, - these we find in Mercury,
Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
Jupiter and Mercury are the greater influence, as also
Neptune - which will have to do with much travel of the
entity over water, in strange places and unusual
circumstance. But the abilities that are latent and
manifested will enable the entity to meet those problems as
they arise in the experience; as may be indicated from the
stresses that should be put in their correct places - in the
spiritual life.
Not that this is to be stressed to that of excess, of course,
of the mental and material (for they are one), yet the basis
of all should arise from the spiritual.
High mental abilities arise from the Mercurian influence.
The abilities and tendencies are indicated as a writer, as an
actor, as pertaining to the screen; which beauty may be
expressed in word as well as activity in the experience of
the entity in relationships with conditions as well as
individuals.
The Jupiterian indication is that the entity will have rather
to do with a universal consciousness, or the fact of the
activities may influence great numbers of peoples though
finding expression from the individual standpoint - or
individual associations.
These are the general characteristics and influences from the
mental forces.
As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, - all of
these may not be indicated; merely those that find expression
especially in the present.
Before this, then, the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, or birth, during the early settlings in the land.
It was when there were those problems of dealing with those
peoples of the land, the Indians and the settlers that were
for the varied activities; the problems that had to do with a
form of piracy to which the entity was subjugated by the
activities during that particular sojourn.
Then in the name Rouman Curtis, the entity gained and lost;
gained in the attempts to universalize the principles and
purposes as of the universal brotherhood of man, lost in
those attempts of applying same in a dictatorial way and
manner.
Thus problems, and the abilities also as may arise in the
present experience of the entity, as well as the effect upon
those things having to do with water - as well as strange
activities and strange associations.
But if the principles of the brotherhood are maintained, as
to the one purpose, the entity will meet all of these, and
may use those experiences as the basis for activities of
future reactions in this particular sojourn.
Before this the entity was in the Roman land, being active as
related to portions of Africa and Palestine and also the
islands of the sea, and England; though the entity's
activities through that experience were more in Egypt or
northern Africa, or northern Egypt and Africa, and Persia and
Palestine.
For, the entity then acted in the capacity of a
representative or emissary of the government of Rome, as a
keeper of the guard, or as a judge or protectorate in the
various groups; supervising those activities where there were
the bases established for the preserving of order as well as
the collecting of customs for those activities.
There will be the influence of such activities upon the
entity in the present, where there will be much of foreign
activity or associations with those who speak not the tongue
or who have not the normal actions or reactions in the daily
life as has been the custom of the entity. And unusual
customs will be a part of the experience.
These, too, may be put to use in the description as a writer,
or as the basis of plays or associations and activities as
would relate to the diplomatic service that may arise later
in the experience, as the entity represents some government
in its dealing or relationships one to another.
These, as we find, all become parts of the entity's
experience in the present.
The name then was Kedward.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those
periods of reconstruction, when there was the unification of
those from the Atlantean land and the Natives under the
direction of the Priest that had been banished and then
reestablished in the land.
The entity then was active as a recorder of the actions in
various groups and of various periods; thus becoming a
writer, keeping the records for those in authority in other
lands as well as for the entity's own activities in
relationships to the government he represented.
The entity gained; and thus the ability in a great many
fields of activity will be a part of the entity's natal or
inner influence.
The name then was Arsha-Ed-Eled.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to
which it may attain, and how:
We have indicated the natal or natural abilities. The
application of these becomes, then, the problems in the
experience of the entity.
Find thy ideal, spiritually, mentally and materially. Know
that all force has its expression first in spirit. True,
mind is the control - through that activity comes the
material expression of same.
Study, then, to show thyself approved unto thy God, that is
thy ideal; rightly dividing the words of truth, keeping self
unspotted from condemnation - either of self or of others.
Let thy watchword ever be, "Use me, O Lord, for the help, for
the sustenance of truth and light and understanding in the
hearts of men everywhere."
Ready for questions.
(Q) May any information be given regarding the entity in the
present environ?
(A) As has been indicated, the entity is meeting the
problems in the present.
We are through for the present.
