1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [470], born August 6, 1889, in Joliet, Ill., and the information given the entity through this channel relative to his incarnation in Egypt about 10,500, B.C., as armor bearer to the King. Considering especially the ability and work with electrical forces in that period, you will explain in detail just how those abilities may be made practical in the present. Then you will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we are given again those records of this entity, now known as or called [470].
3. As we have indicated, the activities of the entity through that experience were such as to wield an innate and an easily developed urge in the present.
4. That there might be a more perfect understanding, it would be well that there be given something of the experiences and activities of the entity through the period; and as to how and why such application was related to the influences from electrical appliances, or electricity as a force.
5. During that era when the Second or Young King was put in authority, as one pitted against or to bring about the cooperation with some of the Natives and their activities, - the entity then was among those who had come from the Persian or Caucasian land, being an armor bearer or a personal guard to the King.
6. When those disputations arose among the advisors to the King, over those conditions arising with the Priest and those of that group, the entity still remained as one loyal to the King; not only then the personal guard but the friend and associate and advisor to the King; being near of the same age and of the same group or family.
7. During the period of the Priest's exile, there came into Egypt those from the Atlantean land - among them Ax-Tell [487] - who became close to the entity - then the entity
470-33 Page 2
being in the name Asphar.
8. Being interested in every form of activity that might bring better conditions for individuals or groups, the entity was interested in those tales or experiences told by Ax-Tell; and sought demonstrations and experimentations with those influences which had been a part of the experience of the Atlanteans that brought about destructive influences.
9. With the return of the Priest to better establish a coordinant, united force or effort on the part of those of the King's household as well as those who had led in the various rebellions among the Natives, as well as the rebellion in Ibex of the King's household - there came periods of a great deal of mental disturbance to many.
10. But during that period a great deal of the time of Asphar and Ajax-ol was devoted to the use of the electrical forces maintained from the use of static forces, as called today. And in their attempts to demonstrate or use these influences for a helpfulness rather than as they had been used upon nature or individuals, or those activities of a destructive nature, these were turned to minerals. Thus the conditions in which there were the abilities for the fusion of copper and brass with the alloy that comes from gold impregnated with arsenic, with the casting of electrical forces through same. This brought those abilities of sharpening or using such metals as these for cutting instruments.
11. Also there were those activities and abilities of the entity to use the electrical devices as prepared through those periods of their investigation, for operative measures; wherein the electrical knife was in such a shape, with the use of the metals, as to be used as the means for bloodless surgery, as would be termed today - by the very staying forces used which formed coagulating forces in bodies where larger arteries or veins were to be entered or cut.
12. Then, such were the greater activties of the entity through those influences which had to do especially with the Temple of Sacrifice. THERE the entity became acquainted with the offspring of the Priest, and thus there was the beginning of those activities which are as YET a part of the experience of each.
13. In making practical application of those forces in the present, then - it will necessarily be through experimentation, of passing the powerful currents of electrical forces through the ores, the metals and those combinations of same in which there may be seen the uses of metals in forms as indicated - that were ONLY used through
470-33 Page 3
the experience and the experimentation of the entity as helpful forces during the reconstruction period in Egypt.
14. The entity then grew to be one who prompted the greater development along those lines, yet sought in a manner to preserve to self the purely technical manner in which those operations were cast. Thus much of that ability was lost after that period, and after the passing of those who labored or worked with the entity.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Considering the work in Egypt with electrical forces, explain just how I should apply those talents now. (A) As indicated. In conducting experimentations, by passing a great current through certain compounds or mixtures of metals, that would produce - in smeltering - a different metal. The combinations of iron, copper, of course impregnated with the various forms, which heretofore and in the present have been unable to be used in the forms of smeltering that are the experience of man today.
17. (Q) Describe in detail the construction and purpose of the more important machines used by me then. (A) As indicated, the machine in which there was the combining of metals in those periods of fusing or smelting, - that combined them in such ways that they might be used in forms not used today. Especially the use of electrical forces with the character of instruments in operations, as well as the fusion of such metals indicated.
18. (Q) What specific experimental work should be done now that would lead to an awakening of that ability manifested in the Egyptian period? (A) The combining of the metals in their crude state by the passing of current in the various forms through same, during the period of smelting same, see?
19. (Q) Was Ajax, with whom I was closely associated in engineering, the same as Ax-Tell? Please explain the reference to him as Ajax in my Reading, and as Ax-Tell in other Readings. [GD's note: Now Mr. [487].] (A) Called Ajax in the Atlantean land, being OF the Atlanteans, and Ax-Tell in the Egyptian activity. One and the same. Ajax-ol was a different individual, see? [GD's note: Now Mr. Henry Ford.]
20. (Q) How may we work together now to accomplish much that we did in Egypt? (A) In interesting those who use or require great
470-33 Page 4
quantities of iron, or the varied metals, to experiment in making lighter - and yet strengthening - the usages of such metals. Copper and brass, gold and iron - through the combinations in their crude state - may be made to be much stronger in usage, lighter in the needs for present developments, and not as expensive in the combinations.
21. (Q) Will Henry Ford [Ajax-ol] become greatly interested? (A) This, to be sure, depends upon the manner in which the interests of this entity are presented to that body. But Henry Ford was one who first interested this entity in these activities, see?
22. (Q) In just what manner should he be approached now? (A) Through the regular channels. Do not attempt to force the issue, nor to do other than lay before him the prospects or possibilities.
23. (Q) Any further suggestions or advice? (A) Do not give up those ideas of some day experimenting, - for this will bear fruition, and you will see it come to pass!
