TEXT

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:
EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - Yes, it's a new cycle - August 24, 1888 - '41 - changing of ideas, opening of ideals - '38 - " etc., on back to birth date.)
Yes, we are given the record here of that entity now known as or called [2992].
Much might be given as respecting the seal of this entity.
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, much indicates an entity of unusual interests; an interesting individual entity as well as one whose appearances in the earth, and the application of the abilities, may bring a great deal of helpful influence into the lives of many.
As we find, irrespective of astrological urges and the universal consciousness, these are indicated as characteristics in the consideration of the spiritual and material being of the entity:
One that is at times quite lonely, and it appears - latent within self, with those environs, those associations - that the entity feels itself not wholly understood by others.
One that may find its greater abilities in writing, especially articles, stories or books for the unfolding interest or age of girls in their teen-age years.
The entity is one that should at some time in its experience give much of that which is latent into manifestation in those directions.
One that will find that children, young children, and especially those in the early teen-age, will be of particular interest for the entity.
Then, in choosing the interpretation of the urges here, these we choose with the desire and hope that this information be a most helpful experience; enabling the entity in some measures to fulfil, in a more determined manner, those purposes and ends for which the entity entered this material sojourn.
Naturally, - as indicated, - Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter all become parts of the consciousness through which the entity has passed.
Thus the conflicting emotions as to the ideals of the entity, and as to whether the ideals are to be spoken of or manifested by an interest in the occult, the mystical forces, metaphysics, the chemistry of the mind as well as the material things. All enter into a consciousness for this entity.
Venus is manifested in the beauty, the joy, the ability to write. When the entity does use the characters of its own environs, or its own household, in its abilities to prepare material for the early teen-age girls, this will enable the activities of the entity to fill the void felt by its loneliness. For, the entity often feels alone, even with an audience, or with many about the entity.
Know that thine own conscience searcheth out thine own soul, in such experiences, and that spirit of choice is ever present. Consequently, the greater injunction would be:
Know thyself, in Whom ye have believed, and give form to that which will be to the glory of the Creative Forces and to the honor, materially, of those who have depended and who do depend upon the entity for choices to be made; in its manner of life and in its activities and associations with its fellow man.
As to the appearances in the earth, - these have been altered a great deal. Still the entity has somewhat the bearing of one in authority, and yet the entity has refrained from using those abilities oft in these directions.
But in the activities indicated, find that in the relationships with the young that will aid.
Before this the entity was among the early settlers in the lands much farther east than the present environs, in the Mohawk Valley.
With the many changes wrought, we find that the entity took up the activities of the men; especially as related to teaching and minstering and counseling with the teen-age girls, enabling them to understand their natures and the offices of same in the dealings and relationships with future generations in the earth; as to how preparations might be made, and the activities of the entity through those periods of confinement for many an individual who had chosen to be the mothers of that period of the United States' evolution.
The name then was Clara Grason.
Before that the entity was in the Dutch land, during those periods when there were many political uprisings, political questionings, as to the relations that land was to bear to many of its neighbors to the east and south.
These made for periods when there were questionings in the mind of the entity. Yet the entity ministered in the assisting of individuals close to those in authority, in the preparation for defense of the mental as well material way of the land itself.
And the interest manifested by the entity through the period in products of the soil, especially those things of every nature that are bulbular and that reproduce themselves by their multiplying, was again demonstrated through that period of the next sojourn in regard to the manifestation of life in the earth.
Before that the entity arose to the greater or the more outstanding influence through the sojourns in the earth.
For, the entity attempted to make application of those tenets of those who had been a part of the entity's relationship, with an entire activity in a period of evolution.
Thus the necessities for keeping quiet were a part of the entity's manifestation, as that of its counsel to those of its own household through that experience.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were those activities of those in authority, or those who counseled with the peoples as to their service to the influence called the Law of One, or the truth as it affected man, to make for a cooperation and a coordination of the teachings of many of those who had been purified in one or the other manner.
The entity then in self physically lost, because of the activities that brought questionings during that period of sojourn.
The name then was Ul-Let-Lor.
Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, where the activities of the entity stayed for a great period - the destruction of the land.
Thus again we find those periods in which the entity seems to stand aloof, apart; not wholly given over to pessimism but rather lacking in sufficient optimism to keep the mental forces SURE in itself. The name then was Tu-Du-Sha.
As the abilities of the entity in the present, -
In the application of self - WRITE! And teach the young. The interest in children, especially; and the greater joys and the greater sorrows will come from these associations; but the abilities, and that to find peace, unfoldment and development, arise from the activities through those periods in which the entity may apply itself in the present.
Study, then, to approve thyself unto that ideal thou hast chosen, - spiritually, mentally, materially.
Let each phase of thy activity, while coordinating, be itself a part, so coordinated in activity to every other phase of consciousness.
And in these manners may the entity find much of itself - that of writing.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What was my purpose in reincarnating, or what was intended for me in this life?
(A) The purpose that you might make the paths straight for self; and this in the application of those tenets of truth itself, in which the greater unfoldment may come.
(Q) Am I working along the right lines to grow in spiritual enlightenment? How can it be speeded?
(A) As indicated, first know self. The lines are very well, but do write - for the teen - early teen-age girls.
(Q) One friend and I seem bound by an unbreakable bond from a past life. Why is this and what was intended for us in this one? Have we fulfilled it or where did we fail? Please go into great detail.
(A) In the experience before this, many of those friends of the present were part of the experience. In this
particular one, as we find, these have worked well. It is not yet complete. All may be of one mind, however, and yet not think the same thoughts. All may be in unison of purpose and yet apparently separate in their activity.
Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God. Believe in His promises to thee. Study to show thyself approved; not finding fault, ever; but ever ready to give the answer for the faith that lies within.
We are through for the present.
