If the strong temperament and ideal of the entity are set in
a materialistic frame of activity, this will only bring those
things that are as moth and rust that doth corrupt both mind
and body. But if the tenets and truths are used that are
ever creative, in that the earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof, to bring happiness, peace, harmony into the
experience of the entity, there may indeed be an experience
in the earth that is a growth, an unfoldment and a
development for the entity, but there must be the
applications of truth in such measures as for the results
to be deserved by the entity. For to force issues, or to
take from the good things and not give as much in return is
already defeat, for it is cheating self. Would you cheat
thy soul of its home, in its relationship with the creative
force? Would you mire thine own mind and purpose into that
of speculation or doubt?
To be sure, there are those tendencies for the entity to be
psychic within self and to have the abilities for visioning
that which may be materially desired. Are these the better
purposes? How well hast thou studied thyself and known
thy relationships in those directions where material and
materialistic influences are to be considered.
In those manners, then, the entity may find the greater
activities by applying self, in such measures that only good
- in peace, in harmony, in beauty of service to others -
may be brought to the entity. Thus there may be the full
comprehension, the full appreciation for that which may be
the experience of the entity, if applied in those ways as to
bring creative influences and powers as the motivating forces
in the relationships to others.
The activities should be in that direction pertaining to
training, education, application in self to lessons, causes
and purposes and whys. For search ye the scriptures, for in
them ye think ye have eternal life. For they are they which
testify of those ideals and purposes of the creative force
manifested in Him, who is the way, the truth and the light.
No, not by just goody-goody. Rather good for something.
Don't sit still and wait for things to happen. For the
entity may in the present have many strings dangling to her
bow, yet only when there has been the choice of those that
answer to something of purpose that is of a spiritual or
creative nature in self, may there be brought harmony, hope.
For the home should not only be the height of the entity's
ambition, but it is the channel through which a more perfect,
more harmonious understanding may come. But know that it
can only be with a companion with whom there is some unison
of purpose. Don't let either become disinterested in the
purposes and ideals of the other. For while the prayers of
the wife may save the husband, more often the prayers of the
husband help the wife - as the prayers of the wife - should
help the husband; by each living, each contributing, each
being a complement on to the other.
As to the appearances in the earth, these have been quite
varied - as indicated by the greater number of general
abilities indicated in the entity's experience.
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, during those periods of the early settlings,
even in those periods when thee was the destruction of
Fort Dearborn.
The entity was among those not driven from the land; thence
making peace with both factions in those periods of activity,
evacuating only and returning to build up contributory
measures for benefits of all groups thee.
Then in the name Charlotte Allan, the entity gained - yet
doubts and fears, because of innate experiences that find
lodgment in the mental abilities of the entity, come from
those experiences.
Before that the entity was in the English land during those
settlings there from the lands across the channel, when there
were the exchangings being begun by settlers that changed
from one land to another.
Thus we will find the entity a good conversationalist, and
sometimes its only conversation - but if this would be made
so that when the entity speaks, it has something to say,
besides some boosting or prompting of its own personality, it
would be well. Let the individuality of the entity be that
it is more often sought by others, to be led by not only the
interest but the abilities of the entity to be a contributing
factor to helpful forces for others.
For the entity through that experience was a teacher who
aided the young; thus the home as well as a worker with
groups became a part of the entity's experience.
The name then was Addie Avant.
Before that the entity was in the Grecian land when there
were those attempts to conquer the eastern places.
The entity was among those chosen ones who went with the
Armies of Xenophon when he invaded portions of Arabia
extending even into Persia and those portions of the land.
Hence things oriental are a part of the consciousness. To
make these coordinant with occidental becomes the problem in
the present entity.
In that experience, though, the entity applied self well;
gained in those abilities to analyze, in those abilities
to keep many dangling at once, when desired - that is, of
the opposite sex, as well as to keep those of her own sex
guessing.
The name then was Aabana.
Before that the entity was in Atlantis when there were those
changes being made, and the entity was among those who were
to enter into activities in other lands.
The entity then was among those who went to portions of what
is now the Iberian Peninsula. It didn't change with the
groups that went to Egypt, but there the entity became as the
leader of that particular group; not too good a leader, for
there was the constant undermining by the selfish purposes
of the entity in those later applications in that period,
and the entity lost through the greater part of that sojourn.
The name then was Axles.
As to that which the entity may attain and gain, an that to
which the entity may apply itself in the present:
The entity, as indicated here, must analyze itself.
In the home, in the home environs, the entity may exceed, and
succeed the greater in this experience.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What steps should I take to secure a home of my own such
as I want?
(A) So live that in your body, in your mind, and in your
purpose, ye deserve to have one, and the Lord will give it to
thee - if ye are trusting it to Him. If ye are trusting in
man, ye are trusting in a poor thing!
(Q) What kind of career should I study and prepare myself
for?
(A) The home.
(Q) How shall I go about finding the kind of man I want?
(A) Better find the kind of man you can be the best mate
with! And if you are thinking of self alone, you are
chopping up the wrong tree.
We are through.
