GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth
plane of [
3051], born January 15, 1898, in Paterson, New
Jersey, and the earthly existence of this entity as It-Or-La
in Egypt, one active in the Temples regarding interpretation
of tenets even beyond some of the tenets of the Priest. You
will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and
plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into
the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the
developing or retarding points in such an existence. You
will answer the questions the entity submits, as I ask them,
concerning the associations and practical application of
urges arising from that sojourn.
EC: Yes, yes we have the records here of that entity now
known as or called: [
3051] and the experience of the entity
in the earth's plane in the activities in Egypt.
In understanding these, it is well that a portion at least of
the periods, the background, the activities of the entity be
understood, that there may be a paralleling of same with the
activities of the entity in the present and the use of same
in the lessons gained as to be applied in the present.
The entity was among those who went into banishment with the
Priest and thus of those groups who entered Egypt with the
Priest and the older king. The entity then was one of those
who passed through the Temple of Sacrifice, rather as in
purifying the body from the fires of nature.
Thus, as we find, innate and manifest in the experiences of
the entity, habits - whether gratifying of appetites or as a
part of nature's habits as to inter-relationships - bring
definite ideas and purposes to the entity's activity. Not,
then, that which may be termed as against, or cold to, the
habit of nature but rather as a higher-developed soul-entity
controls habits rather than being controlled by them. Thus
with the entity's, It-Or-La's passing in the activities in
the Temple of Sacrifice into the Temple Beautiful, making
such an advanced activity as to become an instructor,
surpassing, as indicated, even the judgment of the teacher or
Priest. Thus was the entity in that position where
instructions were indicated to the individuals who were given
special or regular lessons in the relationships with groups
in other parts of the then active world.
Thus we find the entity in the present oft at, what may be
called, a variance to instruction or those deciding or
indicting that such and such definite conditions should be
the routine of the body, disregarding the tenets of ideals,
in spirit, in mind, in body.
Then, in the application of same in the present; not that
self is to consider self as above others, but never should
the entity, unless there is an answering as to "heart to
heart" allow instruction to be followed that doesn't ring
true, doesn't show that the ideals and the application of
self in relationships bear out the principles and tenets of
what the entity chooses as the ideal situation in every
relationship. If the entity does this, we will find better
and better may the body, mind and soul coordinate to bring
activities which will make for bettered conditions in the
earth's experience throughout.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How should I go about developing abilities demonstrated
in the Egyptian period?
(A) As just indicated, begin first with choosing of ideals
not because Jim, Jane or John said this, but as this answers
to something within self.
(Q) Was I marked by Ra-Ta if so where?
(A) On the upper lip close to the right side of the mouth.
(Q) What and where were my past associations with my husband
[
3436]?
(A) In this experience, as has been indicated, and, as may
be seen, there were those instructions as the entity prepared
the companion in the present for activities as a
representative in other lands. Worked together, yes, and the
basic principle should be the basis for the consideration as
one for the other. There are duties, physical, mental and
spiritual and as each considers same and their influence and
feelings for each other in relationships to all such, greater
and greater may be the cooperation of each.
(Q) How may I best assist in [
3436] spiritual development?
(A) Just as in the application through that experience, by
reasoning with and loving. Then, altogether the directions
which are compatible, which are harmonious.
(Q) How may I come to a fuller realization of my oneness
with God?
(A) As first indicated - not by merely feeling a tenet but
demonstrating in the choice of ideal activities, physically,
mentally and spiritually.
(Q) How express the ability of giving spiritual
enlightenment as demonstrated in Persian and Arabian lands,
through the written and spoken word?
(A) We haven't the demonstration in Persia or Arabia, only
in the Egyptian here.
(Q) What form of interpretations did the entity express in
work done in Egyptian periods and how continue developing
along those lines?
(A) Just as has been indicated, as outlined: The tenets
which are gained by the application or doing of, choices as
of the spiritual beliefs in the application of same mentally,
in the application of, preparation and distribution of, the
tenets and truths. Also in keeping as near as possible the
ideal relationships which are chosen by self. These will
keep a constant growth and more harmonious expression in
self.
(Q) How may I best help others?
(A) Just read that given.
(Q) What were my occupations during male incarnations and
what were the accomplishments?
(A) It was not a male in the Egyptian experience. This is
the one we have in the present.
We are through with this reading.
