In analyzing the urges that are latent and manifested in the
personalities of the present entity, we have many warnings.
Yes, we have many compliments for the entity; yet in
choosing these we would give that which if accepted and
applied in the manner presented, may be of material, mental
and spiritual value to this entity. The entity might well
take the warnings of some of the fathers in the church:
Think not more highly of thyself than ye ought. Not that
these are in fault, unless in so doing ye belittle others
by comparing them to thine own self and consider thyself
as superior. Then ye are becoming a judge and belittling
others. For ye have not begun to think straight until
ye are able to see in the life of those whom ye utterly
dislike, something ye would worship in thy Maker. For each
soul-entity in the earth, with life, whether of this, or that
shade or color, or whether this or that disfigurement of body
or mind, is in the earth by the grace of God. For He has not
willed that any soul should perish, and has thus prepared a
way of escape. And ye, as His servant, as the child of the
living God, are given the opportunity to contribute to the
welfare of any whom ye even consider not quite on par with
thy opportunity. Thus if ye belittle others, what sort of
a tree will grow in thine own heart? Ye may be sure someone
else will belittle thee. That is thy warning, my dear.
As to urges latent from sojourns in the earth and those in
the realm between sojourns, these are quite at variance at
times. For ye have those abilities of making individuals
quite at ease, no matter what may be their circumstance.
And ye can put others just as easily on their mettle and
at so much dis-ease as to even make yourself uncomfortable
at times. These are both virtues and vices. These are
as a portion of the urges from thy astrological aspects
in Venus, in Mars and Venus, in Uranus and Venus.
Hence there are some strange friendships that have been a
part of thy experience, yet because of thy very lack, or
better manner of judgement, these are kept in the background
in thine own consciousness. Take them out, look at them,
once in a while. Not very well to talk about, no - but very
well to use thy ability in radiating help for others, even
by just thy own presence, as a part of thy personality and
individuality.
As to the appearances in the earth, all may not be given,
but these are those as we find having an influence in the
present:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity when there were the establishings of one of the
great fortunes of this land. Ye were among those people,
in the home of those who helped establish this. Then, as
Catherine Circee, ye were among those who made peace with
the varied connections of employees.
Thus ye find in the present thy abilities to, as you might
say, to take on all comers and make peace with them, whatever
may be their station or position in life, and yet - as
indicated - ye can make them feel very uncomfortable at
times. And those are the warnings.
Keep that up as ye taught then, and much in the material
things may be added unto thee. Use them wisely. For
whatever is thine in the earth, in any ability, whether of
the material things or of the mental, they are lent thee of
the Lord - that ye may use them for making the world better.
Whether thy abilities are applied in music or in art or in
any direction, let it be in that direction of making the
world better because of thy use of same.
So, whether ye be a teacher, a minister, do it in the Lord -
and ye may add more harmony and peace in thy life.
Before that the entity was in the Hun land, or the German
land.
The entity was then among those who made for
self-improvement. Not necessarily aggrandizement of selfish
interests but the being virtuous for virtue's sake in the
true meaning and sense of the word. This applying not merely
in relationships to individuals but in relationships in
things to come, peoples to come, conditions to arise.
The name then was Hanchel Schmidt. The entity brought
about a greater interpretation of the laws pertaining to
the combination of chords of music or varied instruments.
Thus the harp or the stringed instruments have a particular
"feel" for the entity, and individuals who use the reed in
connection with same have a particular interest. And the
entity beats out time unconsciously with same.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when there
were those periods of discussions among the peoples from
Atlantis and the Natives, regarding those conditions which
arose.
The entity was of the Atlanteans who set about to preserve
records, to make for the variations that were a part of the
activities especially assigned to the peoples of Atlantis.
For the entity came with those groups who were to establish
the hall or house of records, and the entity directly or
indirectly may be among those who will yet bring these
to light - when the present disturbances through those
particular areas have again given privilege for the
searching for the sacred records, of the Atlanteans. The
entity may help.
The name then was Acmelwen.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that
to which it may attain and how: Keep peace within thine
own heart, not to the exclusion of that prompted by thy
conscience, but know that the Lord liveth and that He
requireth of thee the using wisely of that lent thee, even
as indicated in the parable of the talents. For many are
in thine hands and the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, not
merely of self, not merely to others. Help others to help
themselves, rather than giving that which makes them poor
indeed.
Ready for questions.
