Time of Reading 4:30 P. M. ..., Va. (Continuance of Egyptian experience as Ra-Ta)
1. EC: Yes, we have the information that has been given. With the number that went in exile, of the two hundred thirty and one souls, many were in the capacity of guards, defenders, special body guards, interpreters - not that these interpreters were to interpret languages, or speech, or activities, but give to those that were unable to approach the priest, or body Ra-Ta, that which would be given out where it was impossible for the body to reach all about the body.
2. With these changes, there became the natural consequences in change of relationships. Pairs were given places of abode, and then homes - with their environs - were first established among those that were sent in exile, or chose of their own volition to be among that number, or who named the name of the priest.
3. With the entering into the Nubian land, there came such a change that there were the bettered conditions in every term that may be applied to human experience; for successes of every nature grew up about this warlike peoples, and there came those rebellions in the land that made for turmoils and strife. More and more were there overtures made that there be some means provided whereby those who had followed the priest might be MADE, or FORCED, to return; yet these became as insurmountable objections, so that only those who were acting in the capacity of go-betweens of either sex were kept, or able to be in touch with the priest direct. As the priest in this period entered more and more into the closer relationships with the Creative Forces, greater were the abilities for the entity or body Ra-Ta to be able to make or bring about the MATERIAL manifestations of that relationship. Hence the peace that was enjoyed by the peoples, not only with the priest but all those of that land. Hence, as given respecting individuals, they returned FROM the land, for many sought to be as close in contact with this body as at all possible. Every form of advancement, then, or advantage, seemed to be in the
294-150 Page 2
direction that those of the kingdom had acted in haste, and those that were advanced in their purification in the temple - whether they were of the male or female, WITH the ideal of bringing peace to their friends, their peoples, to whom they held some allegiance, kept attempting to make for such associations with the council and the king that there be the re-establishing of the priest in his place in the land.
4. There were begun some memorials in the Nubian land which still may be seen, even in this period, in the mountains of the land. Whole mountains were honeycombed, and were dug into sufficient to where the perpetual fires are STILL in activity in these various periods, when the priest then began to show the manifestations of those periods of reckoning the longitude (as termed now), latitude, and the activities of the planets and stars, and the various groups of stars, constellations, and the various influences that are held in place, or that HOLD in place those about this particular solar system. Hence in the Nubian land there were first begun the reckoning of those periods when the Sun has its influence upon human life, and let's REMEMBER that it is in this period when the PRESENT RACE has been called into being - and the INFLUENCE is reckoned from all experiences of Ra-Ta, as the effect upon the body physical, the body mental, the body spiritual, or soul body; and these are the reckonings and the effects that were reckoned with, and about, and of, and concerning, in their various phases and effects. These all were set, not by Ra-Ta - but EXPRESSED in the DEVELOPMENT of Ra-Ta, that these DO affect - by the forces as set upon all - not only the inhabitant of a given sphere or planet, but the effect all has upon every form of expression in that sphere of the Creative Energies in action in that given sphere, and this particular sphere - or earth - was the RECKONING in that period. Hence arose what some termed those idiosyncrasies of planting in the moon, or in the phases of the moon, or of the tides and their effect, or of the calling of an animal in certain phases of the moon or seasons of the year, or of the combining of elements in the mineral kingdom, vegetable kingdom, animal kingdom, in various periods, were FIRST discovered or first given, not discovered - first CONSCIOUS of - by Ra-Ta, in his first giving to the peoples of the Nubian land.
5. Well may it be imagined, then, as to the effect this had upon the peoples who classed themselves as the elect, the chosen, and yet recognizing that for a PHYSICAL activity there had been the envy, selfishness, strife, contention, and those things that are of the body, that pertain to those
294-150 Page 3
lusts of the body, which had brought about or produced that which separated that which would build from themselves.
6. In this condition, then, were there emissaries of the various positions sent back and forth by the leaders of that particular period, that would eventually bring about the restoring of the priest, who - under the STRAIN - very short period had, to the apparent eye of those about him, become aged, decrepit, and not able physically to carry on; and FEAR began to be felt that there would not be the sustaining strength sufficient that there might be given to the peoples that which had been begun by the entity in the Egyptian land, and that which was being manifested in this land to which they had been banished.
7. Eventually came the period when there was to be the attempt, that there was to be the return of the priest to the land. Then did this priest of himself, and of the Creative Forces, EDICT that those who were in close association with this entity - that had meant an extenuation or savior of a peoples, into a regeneration of same - would have marks set in their bodies that would remain throughout their appearance in the earth's plane, that they might be known to one another, would they seek to know the closer relationships of the self to the Creative Forces and the SOURCE - PHYSICAL - of THEIR activity WITH that source. To some in the eye, to some in the body, to some the marks upon the body, in those ways and manners that may only be known to those that are in that physical and spiritual attunement with the entity as they pass through the material or earth's sphere together. They are drawn, then, by what? That same element that was being accentuated in the earth's plane, as also the other laws that were discovered - or were given, or were conscious of - by the entity in that particular period. The purpose of such, then, that there may be known, that with such an association there may come an awakening to that which was accomplished by those of the select - not elect, but SELECT - in that particular endeavor.
8. These are, then, in that position wherein their relationships may be of the best, the CLOSEST relationships of the mental, the material, the SPIRITUAL developments of all that aided in that particular experience, for the good of the group, the nation, the world - and hence the activities in whatever direction must INFLUENCE the WHOLE of the human race, whether ANY of that particular group enter as servants, as kings, as ministers, as those that mete penal justice, or those that would become emissaries, or ministers, or those that are of those sources that in MATERIAL things bespeak of the lore of the attributes of
294-150 Page 4
physical relationships. All are to, and for, and OF, that that makes for an awakening of those conditions, that make for an awareness of that manifested at that period.
9. With the return then of the priest to the Temple Beautiful, there first began the priest to withdraw himself from the whole that regeneration in body might become manifest, and the body lay down the material weaknesses - and from those sources of regeneration RECREATED the body in its ELEMENTAL forces for the carrying on of that which these material positions gave the opportunity for; leaving first the records of the world from that day until when there is the change in the race.
10. Through for the day.
