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: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3297].
3. In giving an interpretation of the records here, these we would choose with the desire and purpose that this be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling it to better fulfil those purposes for which it entered this material sojourn.
4. While there are faults, there are virtues, we would magnify the virtues and minimize the faults. The application of self to the urges latent and manifested makes for the unfoldment or development in this material plane,
5. As we find, there are urges from the sojourns during the interims between the earthly manifestations, during which the entity acted or applied self in the consciousness peculiar to the astrological aspects, so classified, - such as we find in Mercury and in Jupiter. Jupiter is the ruling force in the entity's experience. Mars and Saturn also are a part of the experience. Thus the high mental abilities, the gifts in those directions sometimes considered radical, but towards helpful forces to those that have been less fortunate.
6. In works of this nature the entity may find the greater outlet, as indicated in Jupiter and Mars; though Saturn and Mars make for periods of discouragements.
7. Hence there should be persistence. Never become weary in welldoing. But not for self and not for any cause save that which is impelled through the way and the truth and the light, or the Christ-consciousness.
8. As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; but not always insisting that they do your way. Sow the seeds of truth, of life, but don't plow them up too often. Be sincere in purpose and in deed, and there will be found the greater peace, the greater harmony, coming to thee in thy undertakings to make for better conditions under which all labor, or in which all share. For, we are indeed our brother's keeper; self is indeed thy brother's keeper, but not keeping him under your own thumb.
9. As to the appearances in the earth, these are quite varied, but as may be indicated from the activity of the entity, in the present, these have been along the pattern that is the impelling force:
10. Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, though in the eastern portion, during the early settlings.
11. Then in the name Argyle Carlisle, the entity was active in that portion of the land about Newport, Rhode Island. The entity was called a reformer, because of the aversion to certain activities that were followed by the Puritans as well as those under Clark or Williams. These were, then, to those groups, something of radicalism; yet they brought, in the eventualities, better relationships with the peoples or natives of the land.
12. These brought for the entity condemnation at times, and within self there was built something of animosity towards others - which the entity sees in self in the present.
13. Before that the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during the periods of the Crusades. There the entity was very zealous, bringing to the groups at the time those activities needed for the setting up of ways and means by which force might be used, that individuals would accept certain tenets, truths or teachings that had been designated by other groups.
14. Yet these did not bring harmony or peace, but rather failures in the experiences of the entity. The entity suffered in body and in mind, but gained in the tenets and truths - or in the spiritual or soul development; spending the latter portion of its days in quite a distant land - the northernmost portions of Egypt - or in Alexandria.
15. The name then was Deuvall.
16. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were teachings presented by the first of the kings and queens that accepted the Law of One; that is, after those rebellions had arisen and been overcome.
17. Then in the name Tefelete, the entity acted in the capacity of the counselor to the King, the father of King Tut - or King Akhenaton.
18. In the experience the entity was rather severe, yet it brought to those people an unfoldment that is still a part of the heritage of many individuals through the earth.
19. Thus the entity finds himself a very good leader, and at times a very poor organizer. These become a part of the entity's experience.
20. And the entity may find the outlet for the greater helpfulness in this experience through the application of self in what may be considered organized work of helpfulness to characters of charities, or those channels that present helpful experiences for individuals in every walk of life. In this channel, combined with books, the entity may find the greater outlet.
21. Study then to show thyself approved unto an ideal, and know thy ideal. Know the author of thy faith. Let the light, then, so shine through that thou speakest, with what thou doest, that ye will bring greater helpfulness to others, opening the ways for greater activity in self.
22. Ready for questions.
23. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 7/21/72 GD's notes from Encyclopedia Britannica (1957 Edition) on Egypt: Ikhnaton (Akhenaton or Amenhotep IV, husband of Nefertiti), "was a religious fanatic...had come to view the sun as the visible source of life, creation, growth and activity, whose power was demonstrated in foreign lands almost as clearly as in Egypt. Thrusting aside the multitudinous deities of Egypt and the mythology even of Heliopolis, he devoted himself to the cult of the Aton, a form of sun-god Ra-Horakhte (Ra-Horus of the horizon)." His third daughter married Tutenkhaton (Tutenkhamon), King Tut, who succeeded Ikhnaton with a brief reign.
