1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the entity, [587].
2. In giving that which may be helpful to the entity in the present, much here has been made by the entity; great developments in the earth or the material, and in the mental and spiritual realms, are shown in the records here.
3. We find in the present from the astrological aspects that these are rather innate, and make for mental urges; while those experiences in the earth or sojourns there make for the sensory urge as from the emotions of the inner urges. Hence those sojourns in the solar forces have made and do make for deep urges in this entity; yet the entity has altered and does alter these through the application of the will as respecting that it, the entity, has gained; as to what to do about that it has builded within itself.
4. Then, from the astrological, irrespective of those influences in the earth, we find these:
5. From the Jupiterian influence about the entity, and Saturn with Uranus, we find at times conflicting influences; but rather from Jupiter comes the vast experience in many fields of mental and physical activity with groups, with masses, with those that deal with problems that have for their import the thought of many.
6. On the other hand, from the Saturn influence we find a constant reversing to individual activity for the basis of that thought in influencing the group, the mass, as to the sources for the more perfect understanding.
7. The Uranian influence makes for extremes. Hence at times the entity is moody in its own inner meditations or deeper thought, as separating of self; yet in the visions there is
587-3 Page 2
the including of those things pertaining to large numbers or groups. And, as indicated, people and their activities are the greater source of interest than things; yet as to how things and conditions AFFECT people is a source of innate urge from the very activities of the entity through the earth sojourns; hence making for the urge innate to make for associations that have a far-reaching effect upon the groups, the masses; as one enabling the individual endeavor in fields of activity that may influence groups or masses, or those things that pertain to same - as to state and country - are INNATE, and are seen by the entity as a whole rather than as in parts, in pieces.
8. As to the influences from sojourns in the earth, we find these influencing the entity in the present:
9. Before this we find the entity was in that land of the present nativity; during those periods when there were the settlings of the land, and when there were the gatherings of many peoples in what is now called Chicago - or was called Dearborn.
10. The entity then was among those peoples that were to be driven from the land. The entity sought contact or to act in the capacity of a messenger to aid in bringing help to those people that were in strife, in danger there; losing the life in the attempt, yet through the very experience - and that which had prompted it - a development was made in that experience.
11. In the name Leon Conon, then, we find the entity aided many in gaining a knowledge of the needs, not only for the spiritual, the mental and the material life, but in the balancing of same in the associations and activities of the individuals during the experience; making for self a service for not only those of the own immediate surroundings but rather for the nations and the people to come into their activity.
12. Hence there is felt innately in the experience of the entity in the present both an attraction and an abhorrence for that particular portion or section of the land; for it draws and repels, through those very closenesses of the associations and the activities during that sojourn.
13. In the present from that experience there is maintained within the inner self the thought and the life for others; this becoming, then, an attribute of the inner self - hence a growth in the present.
14. Before that we find the entity was in the English land, during the periods when there were the gatherings of many peoples for the defense in the Holy Wars - and during those periods of the Crusadings.
587-3 Page 3
15. The entity then was among those people of the land who aided in gathering those that would go in defense of those who rose for an idea that made for an activity in the human endeavor during those sojourns.
16. In the name then Hastins, the entity suffered in the material ways yet rose above the purely material applications and aided in bringing to the people that were left in the land - as the entity was - by those that went to the foreign lands - the abilities to set themselves in such activities that would make for the betterment of the surroundings, the conditions, the environs for those that would return, or that were thought to return, and for the land itself. In that the entity gained; and brought to many those things that helped in establishing a more perfect understanding between the various groups that had been as a household or as a clan, or as the various groups were cemented by the activities not only for self's OWN development but for the development of the land as a nation, as a people.
17. Hence cooperative influences become a portion of the entity's experiences in the present; and the abilities for visualizing activities of others in various lands of endeavor and of service are a portion of the experience of the entity in the present, from those activities in that particular period.
18. Before that (among those that bring an influence upon the entity in the present activities) we find the entity was in the Holy Land itself, during those periods when the Master walked among men, when there were the gatherings of those that questioned - even during those periods of the enunciation, when there was the wonderment as to whether the Mother had escaped into Egypt or not, whether the Mother had fled in time for the saving from the edict of Herod.
19. The entity was among those of that household in which Mary, the Mother, had come when the Babe was born.
20. Throughout those sojourns in the experience the entity held that vision, that experience; not only those words of the shepherds, not only those voices heard, not only those words of the Wise Men, but that experience in itself from being in the PRESENCE of that which was about that Inn.
21. In the latter portion of the entity's sojourn there, the entity became closely associated with those who gathered there - or here and there, when those had wrecked their own selves upon the Body through the activity of the Romans' influence.
22. The entity gathered with those people that had held to those tenets of the period, and GAINED throughout that
587-3 Page 4
sojourn, in the name then Edithia. [5/20/41 See 254-109, Par. 11-A re Edithia.]
23. In the present from the experience, oft have there been the visions of the lights, the sounds, at certain seasons, at certain characters of the evening when the lights are low, and when those very voices - as it were - of the spheres are ringing in those periods that were experienced by the entity; and the heart grows heavy or glad - when there come those periods of turning within, and the wonderments of those experiences through which the entity passed in all of its activities; bringing to the inner self that peace, that joy, that harmony that was experienced when the understanding and the awakening came during that sojourn.
24. From that experience in the present we find the abilities within self to bring to others the sensitive understanding of the awakening for good that good may come, that all the virtues that have within themselves their own rewards bring to the inner man, to the inner soul, that peace, that harmony, that joy. Hence the beauties of the experience come in those periods when day is done, when there are the shades of the evening and the periods of quiet. Hence as the entity turns within self these may be raised to a better understanding.
25. Before that we find (among those that influence the entity in the present) the entity was in that land now known as the Persian, during those periods when there was builded the city in the hill and in the plain; and when the people from the Indian and Mongolian land journeyed forth for the associations with those in the Egyptian and Grecian land - or what is the Grecian land now.
26. The entity was among those that came as emissaries, that there might be healing brought to one of its own household; for the entity then was in POWER - as would be termed in the material world - yet one that had the lame in the home.
27. In and with the teachings in that land, the entity gained not only for its own self and for its own peoples but carried with same those tenets, those lessons that were given by Uhjltd in that period, for the dispersing of same to those wherever they would apply within their own selves the truths that made for the closer relationships between the individual and the Creative Forces that might manifest in the material world.
28. Then in the name Sheuen-elh, the entity gained in the material, in the mental, in the spiritual; being among those that gave much in the land of the East - or the Indian land - when those periods came for the turmoils that arose from
587-3 Page 5
those in the hill land; overrunning those people.
29. In the present, tapestries - things made by those peoples with the hands (as for material things), intricate carvings, certain styles - have a fascination; and are repellent when they are of certain dyes or colors.
30. And in the inner self we find often the harkening to those periods of certain activity during a day, a month, a year.
31. Before that we find the entity was in that known as the Atlantean land, during those periods when there were the destructive forces being sent out and used by the sons of Belial and those that followed close therein.
32. The entity was rather among those peoples that followed the law of One, and was in the name and in the household of Ajahel; being the princess of the temple in Poseidia, and executed much of those forces that dealt with the various manners of their communications with the varied lands.
33. During those periods when there were the gatherings of nations, or the peoples of the world for the pitting of themselves against the beasts that overran the earth, the entity aided in such gatherings of those; for the entity - as given - RULED the connections, or associations, or communications.
34. Hence the entity guided those influenced for the right; being overcome only by the forces of Belial when the destruction was brought by the use of that which had been applied for the destruction of the animals in that particular experience.
35. In the present we find from that sojourn the influences that deal not only with the mysteries of life, those things that influence individuals to those things that act upon the minds and the bodies; but those things that make for communications of EVERY nature, whether under the sea, the wires, the air currents, or what not - are of a particular interest for the entity.
36. And if the entity ever seeks for commercializing its own influences, deal with communications of every nature!
37. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
38. As those experiences in the earth have been, and those sojourns in the realms about the earth, first in self being aroused to that which is the need for thine fellowman, use thine inner self for the application of that thou seest has been helpful in thine own experience. Give! Use thine abilities ever in that direction; for as He was blessed by thee, He has blessed thee in thy service to thy fellow man.
39. Ready for questions.
587-3 Page 6
40. (Q) Is there work for me in the transportation of aviation? [Mrs. [587] later told EC she was a licensed pilot.] (A) In ANY service that deals with communication; and especially this, for it is a portion, a part of the communications.
41. (Q) Shall I continue the writings of poetry and plays? (A) These give expressions of the inner self, and play as upon the strings of memory in the chords of those things that make for a harkening to those voices, that thou hast heard. These are well, for they become an outlet to self and give expressions of the inner self that may aid others in finding theirselves. Then, give oft of self in the deeper service as thou taught and heard in Nazareth.
42. (Q) Why am I helpful and attractive to people professing atheism? (A) As that inner self experienced in every thought during that sojourn in that particular land, how oft told the entity the story of the voice as heard, of the star, of the light, of the shepherds, of the wise men; and these be those tenets, those lessons ALL seek to hear. The entity gave same. Why would not there be that calling - calling - seeking ever by those who profess atheism, or who doubt. GIVE! As thou hast blessed Him, He hath blessed thee.
43. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
