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: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known
as or called [
3098].
In giving the interpretation of the records as we find them
here, these we choose not only as of interest but as of
assurance to the entity of an experience in its own quiet
manner meaning much to a troubled and war-torn world.
As the entity may experience in some of its moments of
meditation, the finding of peace in self enables the entity
to give more assurance, more help to others; just by being
patient and not attempting to control or to appear
overanxious.
For, according to the true law of spirit, like begets like.
Thus as harmony and beauty and grace reign within the
consciousness of an entity, it gives that to others - and
others wonder what moved them to feel different, when no one
spoke, no one even appeared to be anxious. This is the
manner in which the spirit of truth operates among the
children of men.
Here we have an entity beautiful in body, in purpose, in
aim, in desire, and yet filled with life, anxiety, yea the
physical as well as spiritual emotions at times.
These are indicated not only in the astrological aspects in
the entity's experience but in the appearances of the entity
in the earth's plane:
Music, art, and especially the essence of things.
What would one describe, then, as the essence of a sunset,
the essence of the beauty of a rose, the essence of
friendship, the essence of love? These are indicated in what
was given to be part of the offering upon the altar in the
holy of holies when there were certain combinations given
that were to be offered as the sacrifice, as a sweet odor
unto the Lord.
Then, what is that sweet odor in peoples' lives? It is what
may be indicated as the essence of love, hope, beauty. These
are those things in which people often excel and others pay
little attention, yet are influenced by them and it is not
known why.
Individuals who live such lives, then, and with all the
emotions of nature and of the material world, are indeed
those who may be called the children of the Holy One.
Astrologically we find Jupiter, Mercury and Venus; the hope
and desires indicated in the peace and harmony. Not that
there isn't disquieting at times, to be sure; but hope,
harmony and peace have been and are a part of the entity's
experience.
As to the appearances in the earth, these have been quite
varied.
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
sojourn. The entity came with those peoples who were active
in power, might and main, yet the entity through its very
quietness and gentleness brought to the peoples - where it
remained in its activities in the land - hope and activity.
These were in doing right for Right's sake, doing that which
was in keeping with the tenets for the peace and harmony
brought in the experience of individuals.
The name then was Marcella Lappi. The entity resigned in
what is now known as New Orleans, and the entity may in the
present find much there that will be of particular interest;
not only in the fauna or trees in certain portions but in
some of the names and old records in the church in that
place. The entity gained throughout.
Before that the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, during those periods when there were the turmoils
with the peoples from the Norse land. Yet the entity was
among those who kept peace between its own peoples and those
who would be the conquerors; though, as may be seen, the
spirit - the spirit of France will not be broken. So did the
entity represent those activities in that early experience.
The name then was Quartell.
Before that the entity was in the Holy Land when there were
those journeyings from Egypt.
The entity was among those who aided in selecting those who
had erred in the periods when the people crossed into the
Holy Land, when the walls of Jericho had fallen.
Then the entity was among those of the same tribe of that
entity who was chosen as the offender, but the entity
comforted Achan's children - for those who were at the
breast were left alive.
The entity added to the comfort and cheer as a teacher, as
a dancer in the gatherings when there were the jubilees in
Shiloh over the various activities that came about.
The name then was Jueel.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there
were those preparations for individuals becoming active in
the resuscitating of varied groups, those who were prepared
as emissaries.
The entity then was a daughter of the Priest who built up
the activities there; being sent to the Chaldean land as an
emissary.
The name then was El-Aradth.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
Keep that attitude. Keep that purpose. Love thy neighbors.
Keep those quietnesses in self, and ye will find that ye will
contribute the more to thine own group, thine own community,
thine own state, thine own nation.
Love thy Lord and rejoice therein.
Ready for questions.
We are through for the present.
