TEXT

1. GC: You will give the relations 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.
2. EC: (In going back over the years from the present - " - '40 a mental revolution - '38 - '34 expectancies - " etc. on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2794].
4. In giving the interpretation of the records as we find them, these we choose from same with the desire and purpose that this information may be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfil those purposes for which it entered this sojourn. For, it is not by chance that any soul enters a particular period. As indicated in this entity here, it is an Atlantean. Hence it is manifesting in the earth at a period when many Atlanteans have entered. For, ye may be very sure, there is not a leader in any country or any clime, whether friend or foe of what this entity thinks, that was not an Atlantean. Hence, what you think of them in the present will have much to do with their ability as well as thine own ability to meet thine own problems in the present.
5. As we have indicated, the Atlanteans were those that had reached an advancement, had been entrusted with divine activities in the earth, and - as the entity - forgot from whom, in whom all live and have their being; thus brought about within themselves - that which destroyed the body, but not the soul.
6. Thus there was prepared the way, even through Him who is now the life, the light, the immortality, the resurrection, the way through which peace and harmony, beauty and love, may be in the experience of each and every soul that seeks and acknowledges Him as thy Lord, as thy Savior.
7. This, then, is the purpose of the entity in the earth: To be a channel of blessing to someone today, now; to be a living example of that He gave, "Come unto me, all that are weak and heavy laden - take my Cross upon you and learn of me."
8. These are thy purposes in the earth. These ye will manifest beautifully, or make a miserable failure again as ye did in Atlantis, as many another soul in this particular era is doing.
9. Which will it be?
10. In analyzing the purposes, the ideals, the urges latent and manifested in this entity: As has been indicated by some, ye are part and parcel of a universal consciousness or God - and thus all that is within the universal consciousness, or the universal awareness; as the stars, the planets, the sun, the moon. Do ye rule them or they rule thee? They were made for thy own use, as an individual - yea, that is the part, the thought thy Maker, thy Father-God thinks of thee.
11. For ye are as a corpuscle in the body of God; thus a co-creator with Him, in what ye think, in what ye do. And ye change each soul ye contact, literally or mentally - insofar as ye, as an individual entity, are a witness for or against thy Lord, thy God. This is the literal application, yea the spiritual way of man, of this entity in the earth; endowed, yes, with material attributes that to others may appear as a non- entity. Yet no soul may come in contact with the entity without being changed, either in body, in mind or in purpose. And purpose is, of course, of the soul.
12. As to the sojourns of the entity other than in the earth, we find Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Uranus as the ruling forces.
13. Thus the entity is one of high mental ability, or thinks things through - by comparison. This is a natural tend of the mind.
14. In Jupiter we find naturally the universal consciousness.
15. We find in Venus love, beauty, home, friends. These are parts of the entity's consciousness and are the most important experiences in the physical experience of the entity.
16. In Saturn we find the great changes that have come, and yet the ability to meet these in the consciousness of the mental as well as in the ideal becomes the problem of the entity.
17. We find in Uranus the extremes, yet the whole in the consciousness of the entity by that experience in Atlantis as well as in another experience, as we shall see. The things, the ways, the manners the entity may apply to meet the problems are parts of the consciousness of the entity.
18. As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, these have been quite varied, quite far apart in many instances and not all are to be met in this particular cycle, but especially those experiences in Atlantis - because of the numbers, great numbers of Atlanteans in the earth in the present; as well as the great hordes of those in that period when the Master walked in the earth.
19. Before that the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those reconstruction periods following the revolution.
20. There the entity was in the land of its present nativity or birth, experiencing the hardships that were a part of the problems of those that had just become settlers in the land when the differences arose between the free thinkers and those that were of the Crown - or the Tory, as called by some.
21. The entity grew in that environ, and thus is meeting itself in the present in what might be well called the babble of tongues or of thought by groups, by individuals.
22. In the group of sisters that took the entity in, the entity found a haven - that has brought to the entity in the present a sacredness of those who have dedicated their lives for any individual service, that the entity cannot by pass easily. Keep that faith, for of such is the kingdom made!
23. In the experience the entity gained, for throughout its experiences as a sister - Tennele - the entity made for helpfulness to children, and to those that were considered wayward in their relationships to the opposite sex. These are still within the entity's consciousness those whom it pities most.
24. Before that the entity was in the land when the Master walked in the earth, when there were those activities that brought about the attending to the passover - which He kept with His Disciples.
25. The entity was among those who aided in the preparation of that upper chamber where He spent the last supper with His beloved Disciples.
26. It might be said that the entity was a maid or a helper in the household then of Zebedee, and very close to Mrs. Zebedee - being then a distant relative, in the name Elba.
27. In the experience, and especially in the even, as the entity heard those pronouncements "One among you will betray me," there was brought anger. And such expressions often make the entity double its fists even in the present, when insincerity is indicated - by inference or by activity - in friendships or in purpose toward that to which the entity has given itself in any activity.
28. The entity will understand those periods in self, then, when there is caused - as from out of nowhere - those feelings of loneliness, of a longing to hear that Voice again.
29. The entity aided through those periods of reconstruction, and when the church was begun on Pentecost, when the thousands were added to the groups and there were the needs for the ministering to the strangers that encompassed the city, and the needs for those that might instruct others.
30. Through that period the entity gained.
31. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those activities following the demise or passing of the Priest Ra-Ta.
32. The entity was among those that had been educated or prepared in the Temple Beautiful. Thus the associations with many of such in the present, yet there are some in which vast differences of opinions arise - as in that particular experience; thus we find the entity falling away or judging others too quickly in their differences of opinions. And these, as indicated, the entity is meeting in itself in the present.
33. But know that thy body is indeed the Temple of the Living God. And He has promised to meet thee. Keep that body as the Temple of God. Supply it with all the beauties as ye would a physical service to Him that ye would honor most - in thy heart, in thy body, in thy mind, in thy purpose. And let it ever be with that spirit of truth as manifested in Him, "I go unto the Father, that where I am ye may be also." It may be thine now if ye will accept it - as ye did in the upper room.
34. Then the entity was known as Hed-Kala.
35. Before that the entity was in Atlantis when those activities brought about the final destruction of the land.
36. The entity was among the children of the Law of One, and yet allowed self to be led astray by the sons of Belial. Harken not to these in the present, those that would tempt thee with any form of privilege because of that position in any manner. Let thy heart speak within thee, and ever "Not my will but thine, O God, be done in and through me."
37. Ready for questions.
38. (Q) What specific thing am I to overcome or accomplish in this life?
    (A) Just read what we have given. You are meeting self, and it is that indifference that appears at times. As to that ye may accomplish most, it is in adding to - day by day - those opportunities, those privileges that ye have. It is by thy smile and not a word spoken, that the day may be brighter for many a soul and in making the day brighter, even for the moment, ye have contributed to the whole world of affairs - in thy thinking, "God forgive them, even as I ask forgiveness of thee."
39. (Q) Where and how have I been associated in the past with my husband, [2528].
    (A) In Atlantis not so hot. In Egypt much better. In the experience in the Holy Land most gracious - and ye are growing closer together in these. Keep the faith.
40. (Q) How can I be a better wife to [2528]?
    (A) Who can tell a rose to be beautiful? Ye know within yourself thy ideal. Be as near that ideal as possible. Judgments - as ye will find - don't draw too quickly. Meet him, be ever that to him that makes him feel better of himself and of everyone else.
41. We are through for the present.
