Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Body and soul-mind. Questions regarding his various appearances in the earth plane.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the soul-mind and its experiences through sojourns in the earth, with the information that has been given respecting this.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Give an account of the electrical and mechanical knowledge of the entity as Asal-Sine in Atlantis. (A) Yes, we have the entity's activities during that experience. As indicated, the entity was associated with those that dealt with the mechanical appliances and their application during the experience. And, as we find, it was a period when there was much that has not even been thought of as yet in the present experiences. About the firestone that was in the experience did the activities of the entity then make those applications that dealt with both the constructive and destructive forces in the period. It would be well that there be given something of a description of this, that it may be better understood by the entity in the present, as to how both constructive and destructive forces were generated by the activity of this stone. In the center of a building, that today would be said to have been lined with non-conductive metals, or non-conductive stone - something akin to asbestos, with the combined forces of bakerite [bakelite?] or other non-conductors that are now being manufactured in England under a name that is known well to many of those that deal in such things. The building above the stone was oval, or a dome wherein there could be or was the rolling back, so that the activity
440-5 Page 2
of the stone was received from the sun's rays, or from the stars; the concentrating of the energies that emanate from bodies that are on fire themselves - with the elements that are found and that are not found in the earth's atmosphere. The concentration through the prisms or glass, as would be called in the present, was in such a manner that it acted upon the instruments that were connected with the various modes of travel, through induction methods - that made much the character of control as the remote control through radio vibrations or directions would be in the present day; though the manner of the force that was impelled from the stone acted upon the motivating forces in the crafts themselves. There was the preparation so that when the dome was rolled back there might be little or no hindrance in the application direct to the various crafts that were to be impelled through space, whether in the radius of the visioning of the one eye, as it might be called, or whether directed under water or under other elements or through other elements. The preparation of this stone was in the hands only of the initiates at the time, and the entity was among those that directed the influences of the radiation that arose in the form of the rays that were invisible to the eye but that acted upon the stones themselves as set in the motivating forces - whether the aircraft that were lifted by the gases in the period or whether guiding the more pleasure vehicles that might pass along close to the earth, or what would be termed the crafts on the water or under the water. These, then, were impelled by the concentrating of the rays from the stone that was centered in the middle of the power station, or power house (that would be termed in the present). In the active forces of these the entity brought destructive forces, by the setting up - in various portions of the land - the character that was to act as producing the powers in the various forms of the people's activities in the cities, the towns, the countries surrounding same. These, not intentionally, were TUNED too high - and brought the second period of destructive forces to the peoples in the land, and broke up the land into the isles that later became the periods when the further destructive forces were brought in the land. Through the same form of fire the bodies of individuals were
440-5 Page 3
regenerated, by the burning - through the application of the rays from the stone, the influences that brought destructive forces to an animal organism. Hence the body rejuvenated itself often, and remained in that land until the eventual destruction, joining with the peoples that made for the breaking up of the land - or joining with Baalilal [Baal? Belial?] at the final destruction of the land. In this the entity lost. At first, it was not the intention nor desire for destructive forces. Later it was for the ascension of power itself. As to describing the manner of construction of the stone, we find it was a large cylindrical glass (as would be termed today), cut with facets in such a manner that the capstone on top of same made for the centralizing of the power or force that concentrated between the end of the cylinder and the capstone itself. As indicated, [See 996-12] the records of the manners of construction of same are in three places in the earth, as it stands today: In the sunken portions of Atlantis, or Poseidia, where a portion of the temples may yet be discovered, under the slime of ages of sea water - near what is known as Bimini, off the coast of Florida. And in the temple records that were in Egypt, where the entity later acted in cooperation with others in preserving the records that came from the land where these had been kept. Also the records that were carried to what is now Yucatan in America, where these stones (that they know so little about) are now - during the last few months - BEING uncovered.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Is it for this entity to again learn the use of these stones? (A) When there have come those individuals who will purify themselves in the manner necessary for the gaining of the knowledge and the entering into the chambers where these may be found; yes - if the body will purify itself. In '38 it should come about, should the entity - or others may - be raised. In Yucatan there is the emblem of same. Let's clarify this, for it may be the more easily found - for they will be brought to this America, these United States. A portion is to be carried, as we find, to the Pennsylvania State Museum. A portion is to be carried to the Washington preservations of such findings, or to Chicago. The stones that are set in the front of the temple, between
440-5 Page 4
the service temple and the outer court temple - or the priest activity, for later there arose (which may give a better idea of what is meant) the activities of the Hebrews from this - in the altar that stood before the door of the tabernacle. This altar or stone, then, in Yucatan, stands between the activities of the priest (for, of course, this is degenerated from the original use and purpose, but is the nearest and closest one to being found). As to the use of same, and as to how it's to be applied, one must prepare self - and it may not wholly be given through any channel, until an individual has so purified his purposes and desires. For, as given, not again will man bring to himself, or to those that have not been awakened to their individual development, destruction for the earth - saving man does it himself!
6. (Q) What should be the nature of this purification? (A) Purifying from within, much in the way and manner as has been given or illustrated to the entity in how that the mental self must be purified, much in the same way and manner as the INNER self has been purified through its sojourns in the planetary influences BETWEEN the appearances in the earth. For, as given, the body, the body-consciousness, is a well-balanced body, mind and soul, FOR development as an initiate, to again use these forces, these influences, for constructive rather than destructive purposes.
7. (Q) Who is conducting this work in Yucatan? (A) Would it be sent to any other place than to those who were carrying on same?
8. (Q) Give an account of the electrical and mechanical knowledge of the entity as Ptel-in, in Egypt. (A) As may be surmised from that given, the entity was among those that had laid aside their physical self in destructive forces in Atlantis and picked them up again in the periods of the Egyptian development that followed the closer after the Atlantean destructive forces, or overlapped somewhat. In that experience not so much of the electrical or mechanical appliances were the activities of the entity, save in the assisting of the preservation of the records and the MENTAL distribution of that designed to be for the betterment and the purifying of those peoples of that age, period or land. It must be remembered, as indicated through these sources respecting the peoples of that time, much of the animals - that had been fully cleansed in Atlantis - remained with the peoples in the Egyptian development. But
440-5 Page 5
the entity, or Ptel-in, worked with the priest of that age in giving to the people the knowledge of the relationships of the Creator to the created, in the way of preparing the body physical FOR the receptivity - or as a receptacle that might attune its inner self - to the divine forces in that particular period of development. The activities of the entity in the electrical or mechanical were not so active in the Egyptian as they had been in the Atlantean. And the offices or activities pertained more to the assisting of individuals that sought to cleanse themselves, and were used - as indicated - by the fires in the cleansing temple, and the activities in the Temple Beautiful. For, the entity was then among those that aided the priest in SETTING the individuals so purifying themselves, so making themselves the channels or the receptive channels for the spiritual enlightenment that came through not only those that had sojourned in the earth as constructive forces but through those of the spiritual realm that thought and directed and aided the individuals in their activity, that HAD purified, had cleansed themselves.
9. (Q) How many facets did the crystals previously referred to have? (A) Would be better were these taken from that pattern of same that will be eventually put in the museum in Pennsylvania. For, as given, do not confuse self in the attempt to use something without having prepared self to know what to do with same - and bring, unintentionally as before, destructive forces in the experience of self and those about self. Not that this should not be sought. Not that information may not be asked for, but be sure that the records are read - and those that have been given may ONLY be read by those who have cleansed themselves, or purified themselves!
10. (Q) Give more details regarding the appearance as Sir Gilbert during the revolution, including first name - etc? (A) Reginald Sir Gilbert, and among those that came into the land that represented the government under which grants were given for the activities in this particular portion of the land. Not as an agent. Not as a representative, other than that there was to be seen that more of an association was kept between the parent land granting the permit, or the treaty that was later brought about in the activities of those near to the land - and in the records of same that were granted to Penn, in England. These may be found.
11. (Q) Have I karma from any previous existence that should be overcome? (A) Well that karma be understood, and how it is to be met.
440-5 Page 6
For, in various thought - whether considered philosophy or religion, or whether from the more scientific manner of cause and effect - karma is all of these and more. Rather it may be likened unto a piece of food, whether fish or bread, taken into the system; it is assimilated by the organs of digestion, and then those elements that are gathered from same are, made into the forces that flow through the body, giving the strength and vitality to an animate object, or being, or body. So, in experiences of a soul, in a body, in an experience in the earth. Its thoughts make for that upon which the soul feeds, as do the activities that are carried on from the thought of the period make for the ability, of retaining or maintaining the active force or active principle of the thought THROUGH the experience. Then, the soul re-entering into a body under a different environ either makes for the expending of that it has made through the experience in the sojourn in a form that is called in some religions as destiny of the soul, in another philosophy that which has been builded must be met in some way or manner, or in the more scientific manner that a certain cause produces a certain effect. Hence we see that karma is ALL of these and more. What more? Ever since the entering of spirit and soul into matter there has been a way of redemption for the soul, to make an association and a connection with the Creator, THROUGH the love FOR the Creator that is in its experience. Hence THIS, too, must be taken into consideration; that karma may mean the development FOR SELF - and must be met in that way and manner, or it may mean that which has been acted upon by the cleansing influences of the way and manner through which the soul, the mind-soul, or the soul-mind is purified, or to be purified, or purifies itself, and hence those changes come about - and some people term it "Lady Luck" or "The body is born under a lucky star." It's what the soul-mind has done ABOUT the source of redemption of the soul! Or it may be yet that of cause and effect, as related to the soul, the mind, the spirit, the body.
