1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personality of the entity now known as [444].
2. In giving that which may be helpful to the entity in the present, the approach to the astrological influences would be from the sojourns rather than the position of the planets or the elements in same. For, the sojourns make for innate influences; while the earth's appearances make for the greater urge within the present mental forces of the entity.
3. In this entity, [444], we find rather unusual developments in the astrological influences; for these are rather as TWO urges in the inner being of the entity, or are rather in pairs. So, there will be seen in the present experience that there are periods when there have often been halting opinions or urges leading in separate directions at or during the same period of activity in the physical experience of the entity.
4. We find that Venus with Uranus make for rather at times the complications as to the character of associations, the activities in the relationships to those influences which are accredited to the activities of an indwelling in such environ. Hence the mystic, the occult, with love's influence, are of particular interest. Hence the entity's abilities in building or making or writing stories pertaining to activities in these directions might be developed in those periods particularly when there is the conjunction of, or the influence direct in the earth from Venus and Uranus experience.
5. In the activity also in Jupiter do we find the entity's indwelling, making for innate urges in the activity of the
444-1 Page 2
entity through those influences that make for travel, for meeting of individuals in the varied walks of life, in those that find expressions in the activity with the mental proclivities of the individual. Rather does the entity innately deal with mental and mind than with things, yet conditions as produced by the mental association and activity of individuals are of particular interest to the entity.
6. As to the sojourns in the earth and their influence upon the activities of the entity in the present:
7. Before this we find the entity was during those periods in the present land of nativity when there was an expression of those influences in the spiritualistic realm, in and about those places in Salem, when there were the students and the persecution of those that made for activities in that particular experience.
8. During the sojourn the entity gained much by the physical activities in following much that was presented in the appearance of those particular phenomena manifested by those felt by many during the period as being possessed.
9. The entity was rather the observer than associating self with the activities during the period, and was in the name Beldon.
10. From that experience in the present sojourn there are seen in the activities of the entity those things pertaining to following the lines of suggestions in those activities in that particular experience. And the MENTAL forces of those that are active in such fields make for the greater expression of manifestation to the entity.
11. The fields of reading, the fields of activity in the social relationships, arise from experiences in that sojourn.
12. Before this we find the entity was during that period when there were the activities of those that came into the land of promise as Crusaders for a cause, in the ideas of many.
13. The entity then was of the people in the Fatherland, as may be called, that were among those left by the other members of the household; and much of the duties and activities in material things fell upon the shoulders or activities of the entity in the experience, bringing to the entity many questions as to duty and obligation to those influences in the actual experience and duties and obligations that arise from impelling influences or urges to become active in or for an ideal.
14. Through the experience the entity may be said to have lost and gained, for there was much turmoil in the mental
444-1 Page 3
forces of the entity during the period, much of those experiences that made for the realizing of the necessities of material activities in a material world. Yet, in the later portion, as in those experiences when self lost self - as it were - in that it gave to others, in the character of conditions that made for the losing of self in service to others, developments came to the entity. The name then was Herzenderf.
15. The entity in the experience made for those activities that in the present at times have caused the WONDERING as to the abilities of differentiation - in the experience of self - between that of practical value in the experiences of man or of self and that having more to do with the urge to the emotional influences that make for the forming of ideas, rather than ideals; or as to whether the ideals are of such standards that both the emotional and the practical influence on material things weigh well in the balance of the activities of the individuals through which the relationships bring those influences in their lives and their experience.
16. Hence the entity naturally in the present is of an analytical mind, with the abilities to use or apply self in analyzing others' influences or experiences in such a way as to be beneficial to such individuals who make overtures to the entity in any manner for aid in this direction. And WELL may the entity apply this experience, for not only self-development but in giving out to others those things that may be most helpful in their experience. For, the entity learned in that experience, in that land, it is not what a mind KNOWS but what the mind applies or does about that it knows, that makes for soul, mental or material advancements.
17. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those experiences when there were turmoils and strifes through the rebellions that arose in those activities in that land, when there had been the banishment of the priest in the spiritual life - and the uprisings of the natives and those people that had sojourned in the land, and the differentiations that arose from those tenets that were being proclaimed by those incoming from the Atlantean land.
18. The entity then was among those that aided in re-establishing the priest among the peoples, and was of those that aided specifically in the Temples of Sacrifice of that period. Not where offerings were made of animals or of the influence or increasing of the field, but where rather those things were shifted from individuals' experience,
444-1 Page 4
mentally and materially, that prevented their becoming more in accord with the laws that were proclaimed by the priest - aided and abetted by the activities of those that came in from the Atlantean land to establish what was in the period the greater understanding of the law of the relationships of souls to the Creative Forces, and of the individual's obligations and relations to the fellow man.
19. Throughout the experience the entity developed in soul, and met many of those that were antagonistic to the influencing for the betterment and many of those through whom the tenets came for the activities in giving and spreading to the peoples that which was helpful in their relationships, their experiences. The entity was particularly active in the later portion, given to disseminating those that were of the fields of activity in what became or is the basis of much in modern medicine.
20. Before this we find the entity was in those experiences in the Atlantean land, before those periods of the second upheavals or before the lands were divided into the isles.
21. The entity was among those of the household of the leaders of the One, and made for and aided in the attempts to establish for those that were developing or incoming from the thought forces into physical manifestations to gain the concept of what their activities should be to develop towards a perfection in physical body, losing many of those appurtenances that made for hindrances for the better activities in the experience. The entity then was in the name Asme, as would be put in the language of the day. And the entity gained and lost in the experience. For, while in the office of the priestess in the temple of the One, the entity lost in the associations of the carnal influences in relationships to those in the same activity. Yet, the entity gained in the greater portion of the abilities to make for disseminating truths to others.
22. In the present also may come, by turning within, from that experience, that which may make for the background of many of those experiences in the writings or in the stories or in the impressions that may be had as illustrative to those whom the entity would teach.
23. As to the abilities of the entity and that to which it may attain in the present, and how:
24. In those fields of activity as indicated, the mental influences are above the normal, or above the rabble. And, if the entity will apply self in those forces that make for the creating within self and those whom the entity may contact day by day, ideals that are of the standards making for Creative influences in the mind, the soul and the
444-1 Page 5
physical influences, through same may the entity gain and develop in this experience to those influences where only through the desire may it be necessary for the entity to enter earth's environs again.
25. Then, present self to those influences that make for Creative activities in such a manner that self may never fear to meet that it has spoken in word, or thought; for each soul meets that it has meted, with those measures with which it has meted out.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) Does this cover all the incarnations that have been passed through this entity? (A) By no means. These are the ones that influence the most in the present.
28. (Q) What was the name in the Egyptian incarnation? (A) El-Pthut.
29. (Q) Give the dates of the Egyptian incarnation. (A) During that period of the rebellions that were, as would be counted in earth years in the present, 10,490 to 10,300 before the Prince of Peace came into the earth. In the period the entity's activities were such as to make for material development with the associations of the priest Ra-Ta, with those of Ra - in the names that came later - and those of that particular period.
30. (Q) Were there any other periods of incarnation of an Egyptian nature? (A) During those periods when there were the activities of those just before the return of those peoples from the land to the Promised Land, during the reign of Hathersput [Hatshepsut] [The former was my sp. from the sound. GD]. The entity then was among those peoples. Yet this does not influence the greater portion in the present, as to the mental activities or soul development. Urges may be raised from these, specifically as to things that pertain to the manner in which stones of certain characters are set; for these appear at times - but do not influence the soul development.
31. (Q) Would you give more details regarding the period of incarnation mentioned in relation with the promised land? (A) It was during that period when there were the correlations between those of the Princess of the Egyptian and those of the household of one of the tribes of the people there. The entity was a sister then of Hathersput [See 444-1, Par. R1], the Princess that became the Queen that made for much of the expansions and developments in the land as related to extending the activities of the peoples to other lands. Yet these activities and associations with
444-1 Page 6
the people of the period do not influence the soul development as do those that we have given.
