For, as has been indicated throughout the history of mankind,
there have been the periods requiring an individual to be
raised up for special service. Many individuals might have
filled those positions, yet apparently those individuals and
no other. But God is not a respecter of persons as persons.
For, "Who is my father, my mother, my brother, my sister? He
that doeth the will of the Father the same is my mother, my
brother, my sister." Thus the possibilities for each soul
are to know the truth that shall set men free, not only from
the burdens of the spiritual and the mental but also the
material. For, "The Lord thy God is one." And the body, the
mind and the soul are one, yet they each must in their own
sphere and phase of activity meet the various problems that
have been and are the part of an entity's experience
throughout its sojourns in a material consciousness.
Here we find an individual entity capable, then; yet as we
give the characteristics we would minimize faults, we would
magnify virtues - but we may point out the faults to be
overcome.
This individual entity, is oft too sure of himself, as we
will see from the varied experiences. While there must be
confidence in self do not let it be in the worldly wisdom of
self. Let the entity gain first, "I am the Lord's, and as He
uses me, I may make manifest His love, His might, His power.
Of myself I may do nothing, but as His power and His spirit
worketh through me ANYTHING may be accomplished."
And the abilities are here to accomplish whatever the entity
would choose to set its mind to, so long as the entity trusts
not in the might of self, but in His grace, His power, His
might. Be mindful ever of that, in thy understanding in thy
own wisdom, much may be accomplished; but be rather thou the
channel through which He, God, the Father, may manifest His
power - in whatever may be the chosen activity of the entity.
For, as will be found through the experiences in the earth,
many, many, are the fields of service through which the
entity may manifest.
Astrologically we will find a tendency in Mercury towards
being a good reporter. While the entity doesn't care much
for details, this - too - is a criterion for a good reporter,
if he would maintain or get facts. Others may fill in, but
be able to see what IS news, what is the story behind the
story.
Be warned - don't cut off more than you can chew; for these
are the tendencies of the entity, even in its own Mercurian
wisdom.
In Venus we find one gifted in music and art, as will be seen
to be a part of the experience. Hence the reeded instruments
as the clarinet, would be the ones for the entity. Use as a
means of interpreting thy moods, at times. These will
accomplish more for the self in communing with nature in
attuning self to the divinity as may be expressed in self,
than in other ways. Yet the entity may use same in any
sacred service.
As to the art, - as will be found from the experiences of the
entity as the Grecian, an outlet for expression may be had in
moulding or chiseling such statues as depict not merely
characters but thoughts interpreted in characteristic
conditions; as of a nation, a people, a feeling. These will
be channels for the entity's outlet of abilities. Writing,
music, or the making or carving of figures. Any or all of
these may be easily piddled with or as those things to be
done occasionally. Writing, reading, teaching - all of these
will be a part of the desires and hopes for the entity; yet
the greater outlets will be through the abilities as the
writer or reporter for the activities in which the entity may
accomplish the more.
In Uranus we will find the extremes, also an interest in the
occult or the mysteries of nature, the mysteries of life.
These will be a part of this entity's experience. Use them,
and the interest in same, especially in the reporting field,
wherein the entity may become the more efficient.
Jupiter will ever be rather a secondary influence, unless
there is first the finding of self. Then, do not allow
competition with others be that to build resentments of any
nature. Remember the source of supply, of physical strength,
of mental energies of spiritual outlook and of the material
things of life. For the silver and the gold are the Lord's.
Act in such a manner that He may lend these to thee, and thy
hands will be ever bountiful.
As to the appearances in the earth, - while all are not
given, these are quite varied in their periods and in their
activities; yet that one which will be the more outstanding
is the one where the entity was closer to the present mother.
Thus there may ever be that dependence in that guiding light,
through those experiences that may be a part of this
particular sojourn.
Before this, then we find the entity was in the land of the
present nativity; during those periods of the reconstruction
following the Revolution. The entity was among those born of
parents that came into the activities near the land of the
present entrance.
The name then was Tony Ansel. The entity was a
happy-go-lucky individual, meeting all the problems in the
selfsame manner that is a part of the present experience;
that is: "It will eventually work out right - why worry
about it?" To many the entity was then a neer-do-well. Yet
to the homes, to the groups with which the entity was
associated through the political as well as social
activities, the entity brought strength and might to others;
that others felt were not possessed by the entity - yet none
can give greater strength than they themselves individually
possess.
From the personal characteristics from that experience we
find the present tendency to tackle ANY job and feeling self
equal to it; but overstepping self at times. Gain first
those tenets, those principles, as to the sources of supply -
and we will see how or why there is this inclination, from
the experience before that - if judged only materially.
For, before that the entity was in the land when the Master
walked in the earth during those periods when great throngs
went to hear His teachings by the mountain side.
When there was the feeding of the four thousand, the entity
supplied that from which the Master increased sufficient to
feed the multitude.
This then materially brought vast visions to the entity.
Through the experiences these were used well for a while, and
then its over-zealousness brought sudden cutting away,
following those experiences when James was beheaded. For
these were friends of the entity through those experiences.
In the present walk ever closer with the Master. Let oft the
deeds of thy hands be again multiplied by and through Him,
and not of thyself. For, these are the manners in which ye
may accomplish the most; letting that power - which ye SAW so
well demonstrated - flow through thee; by faith, yes; by
works, yes; by the good will that is a part of thy whole
being - but ever the power the might in Him.
The entity in that experience was a teacher, a writer, for
the few years of its sojourn. For, many of the notes that
were a part of the entity's experience then, as Thaddeus,
were a part of the records of Mark and Matthew; in Luke or
John - though John, to be sure, was an acquaintance of the
entity.
Before that the entity was in the Promised Land when there
were those gatherings of the peoples from the Holy Land.
The entity was among those born in the wilderness that
entered in with Joshua the leader.
The entity then was in the families of Aaron or the tribe of
Levi; not a high priest but a lesser priest to whom there was
given the mission of sounding the call to worship, and the
entity led those groups about Jericho; being among the first
to enter that fallen city. This has ever been a favorite
story of the entity. Hence these activities - the trumpet
has ever been a favorite instrument but the reed will bring
to the entity a greater accord or attunement to the needs or
the use of same in the meditating periods for the entity - in
interpreting the temperaments or moods for the experiences of
the entity.
The abilities of the entity are for a leader as to
information, from that period. Now it may be put into order
as a reporter, a writer of events; and especially sports or
those of that nature as would have to do with such
activities. These may be a part of the entity's experience.
The name then was Jubeel.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those
periods of preparation of individuals for special service and
activity.
The entity, having passed through the Temple of Sacrifice,
was prepared in the Temple Beautiful as an emissary; as a
reporter of the happenings in Egypt as well as in other lands
to which the entity was sent in the varied periods of
activity; reporting back the effect of the emissaries that
were sent out.
The name then was At-He-Arn.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to
which it may attain and how:
As indicated most any field of service or activity is open
before the entity; but especially a material service as a
reporter.
The fields of activity in music and sculpture may be a part
of the entity's experience; not so much as a vocation, rather
as being used in the periods of relaxation from its work.
Keep first things first. Beware of those temptations of
becoming egotistical. Beware of those periods when you may
choose a great deal more than may be accomplished; but know
that ALL things may be accomplished in Him. LIVE the life,
not professing same as one in a loud tongue, for the Lord's
way is the still small voice within - directing.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What are my short-comings of character and how overcome
them?
(A) As just indicated, and the manner of correction.
(Q) Would I make a good professional baseball player and
when should I start?
(A) Should start immediately if you expect to. You might
attain to some of the minor leagues, but this is not a great
forte with the entity. You may be able to report same a
great deal better than to exercise same. But it would be
well to train that you might report well.
(Q) Have I been related to any member of my family during a
former incarnation?
(A) These may be paralleled. As indicated close to the
mother in the period of the Master, for then the entity was
also son of the present mother.
We are through for the present.

born. He really does have a reporter's nose."
