1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the records of the entity now known as [813].
2. Then, in interpreting that which has been builded by this entity in the records given, well that the approach of same be understood by the entity, that those experiences in the earth which produce emotional urges in the present may - in their application - be used as stepping-stones for greater achievements by the entity in the present; also the universal forces that are manifested in the activities of each soul (as the entity is a portion, a unit of the whole) through its sojourns or experiences other than in the material plane - or in those environs that are accorded by the ancients and accredited as having their influence upon same. And when a soul or entity has builded in a material experience, then, an activity of the nature that by words is accredited to it, in that environ may it have its consciousness - even as all are aware of those environs and activities in materiality in the earth.
3. Hence from the astrological sojourns the urge comes innately, while from the earthly sojourns it is rather emotional; thus making what may be said to be a counterpart of same in materiality - hereditary and environmental influence.
4. In the astrological aspects, we find:
5. The entity coming from the Mercurian influences, or the high mental abilities, there are the innate urges of analyzing - or delving into the causes and the effects of that within each influence which the entity may contact; as to what makes or causes or produces such reactions in the affairs of individuals or groups or nations.
6. The Jupiterian influence makes for rather a peculiar
813-1 Page 2
aspect, owing to the entity's sojourn and activity in same; for to many who had periods of sojourn in its environment it becomes a benevolent influence, but to this entity it becomes rather as the period of expansion, the period of the new awakenings.
7. Also the environs from that activity of the entity in Neptune bring those experiences from afar, or from messages that may be in transmission not only by material things but those that may come through as upon the etheronic energies of the SOURCES of energy. Thus the entity gains much that becomes the motivative force in its MENTAL activity, as well as in its associations and relations with others. These will make for, too, that elemental force having its effect upon the entity in the form of waters; or large bodies of water have their peculiar effect upon the entity. And those things dealing whether within, through communicative forces from without, or the activities of a commercial nature, or such environs, play - as it were - a great part in the experience and in the affairs from the material angle in the experience of the entity.
8. These are as the greater influences or sojourns from the astrological influence, and combined they produce these as urges in the entity at present - but irrespective of what the will does about such:
9. One of high mental abilities, with the INNATE ability to analyze motivative forces - whether consciously or unconsciously in the affairs of others; bringing to self through same at times greater knowledge of the experiences of others, especially of those individuals recently having been upon bodies of water, over bodies of water or dealing with those elements that have to do with such activity.
10. Then, these are the influences brought actively in the present from former experiences of the entity in the earth; not ALL, but those that have their influence upon the present experience of the entity in the earth, from what the entity has done about and with the creative forces that manifest themselves through mental, material and spiritual forces of the body itself:
11. Before this we find the entity lived in the earth during the periods of the early sojourns of peoples as a nation, and as a group, in the land of the entity's present nativity; during those periods when the peoples sought their religious and spiritual freedom of activity.
12. The entity then in the early portion of its activity was among those that came to that particular land now known as the Quaker or Pennsylvanian land. There the entity was among those of the Netherland people, in the name
813-1 Page 3
Neureindern, that came seeking for the advancement of the mental abilities as well as the freedom of speech, the freedom of activity in the relationships of individuals with their fellow man, as the expression of that which man would worship in that called his God. Thus did the entity come, and made for aidments to those during the early portion of such activity in that land; suffering hardships, many, in the material plane yet gaining in the mental and in the spiritual welfare; for there was put into effect materially by the entity's activities and associations with others those tenets that could only be tenets under the normal environment. As the entity grew into material manhood and into those effective activities in the land, the associations made for greater and greater opportunities for the application of those tenets that were near and dear to the entity throughout the sojourn.
13. Hence the entity gained much during that sojourn, and there may be found even in the older of the records in the 'city of brotherly love' much that may pertain to the activities of the entity during that experience.
14. In the present we find these as the innate urges that express themselves through the emotions of the entity: There is the urge to be easily touched by oppression in any individual activity or group; and the general feeling in self is to resent oppression in any manner; taking - as it were, in common parlance - the side of the "under dog" in any circumstance that may arise in the experience of self or those with whom the entity may be associated. Also there are those expressions oft within the self innately that each soul must give the account in itself of the cause of its own activity, of its own relationships to that which it would worship as its divine cause, or that to which it innately and within self would attain as being the motivative force in its activity.
15. Before that we find the entity was in those lands now known as the Grecian, during the periods when there were the many teachers that arose as the servant class that would delve or study into the research for those that sought or desired enlightenment.
16. The entity was then in the household of one Octavia [?] that made for collaborations with those peoples during that period of sojourn when those now better known records of that day were a portion of the activity.
17. During that sojourn the entity had one experience which has oft in its inner self made for an almost turning back to that experience in times, that of delving into the inner records that were made in the old Alexandrian libraries.
813-1 Page 4
There the entity gained much that Plato, Aristotle and the old writers of the period gained from that which was supplied by the entity in its research for those that presented same to their fellows in their varied activities. [See 378-50 for a discussion of the Edgar Cayce information regarding the Holocaust]
18. In the name then Ilidoen, the entity ever had those innate feelings of lack of opportunity for self-expression, being ever - as it were - in the material manner as controlled not so much in thought as in manner of giving expression of same that the fellow man might have the greater advantage of that which had been the experiences of the sages of those ages long passed, but that had been preserved in the records of the manuscripts or the papyrus or those stones that had been preserved there - which were later so ruthlessly destroyed by those that would impose their OWN interpretations of the past upon the coming peoples.
19. The entity gained and lost during that sojourn from the spiritual standpoint, GAINED in the material and the mental self; and the great abilities in the analytical temperament, the analyzing of motives, arise from the sojourn and the experience of the entity there - especially in its activities in that particular portion of the land and in its attempt to make those reports for those that sought to force those researchings and those searching out of the reports of old.
20. In the present we find that innate delving into the unseen, into the inner forces that have caused ways and manners in which individual minds have accomplished those things and experiences within their inner self; and make for the abilities in self in the present to gain much from unseen force, unseen activities that come as the conscious and unconscious urge in the inner self.
21. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Indian, and about those places where there was the setting up of the activities of the Princess of Egypt upon her return to the Indian land, when there had been the studies of those activities of the teacher in the hills and in the plains. And the entity was of that environ, and those surroundings; when that Princess of Egypt had come from the Egyptian activity to bring about those of her own sex the teachings that made for her people a greater understanding of how there might be applied same in the experience of body by living, by that as it assimilated from the material things in a body, such as to become a portion
813-1 Page 5
of the mental, the physical and the soul body of each individual.
22. The entity gained with that Princess throughout its sojourn in that land now known as Poona, in the Indian land, where there were not only the healings of the body, the healings of the mental forces, but a great spiritual uplift.
23. And in the present the entity finds the interest in those things in form, in manner, in way of movement of body, of assimilation of influences and forces from without that are a portion of its innate self to acquire or attain an understanding within self. These are a portion of the entity's inner self, INNATELY built upon the soul, finding their expressions in the emotions that may awaken for the entity those experiences. For, as the entity gained in that experience, so does it experience in the present that only through application of experience may any tenet, any law, any truth become a portion of the whole being of an individual or entity.
24. Before that we find the entity was in that called or known as the Atlantean land, during the periods when there was much turmoil and strife from the rejections by many of those laws and tenets of One; when the upheavals began that made for the egress of many from that city of the Poseidon land - or in Poseidia the entity dwelt among those where there was the storage, as it were, of the MOTIVATIVE forces in nature from the great crystals that so condensed the lights, the forms, the activities, as to guide not only the ship upon the bosom of the sea but in the air and in many of those now known conveniences for man as in the transmission of the body, as in the transmission of the voice, as in the recording of those activities in what is soon to become a practical thing in so creating the vibrations as to make for television - as it is termed in the present.
25. The entity then was among the princesses that served the peoples not only of high but of low estate in that particular period of activity in the land. Hence we find with those turmoils that came from without, as the voices of those were raised against those in authority that controlled those activities for their own self-gratification, there were brought trials to the entity and those about same; yet the entity remained true to all of its activities, not deeming it as other than a duty, a duty of love and of service for its fellow man that those powers and the influences of the infinite might be a portion. And though the entity saw much of this turned into self-indulgences, it never became in that experience a portion of the entity's activities; in the name then Ambeno.

26. As to the abilities of the entity in the present and that to which it may attain, and how:
27. It may be seen from the material or earthly sojourns, as also from its astrological influences and applications, that the greater turning within - through its own analyses of those motivative forces that make for the law of One - will bring for itself, for its fellows, the greater harmony and peace and understanding. Also tones, colors, stones of peculiar type or turn, mean much to the entity. And not as an omen, but for its greater vibration, the entity should have upon its body at all periods the blue-green chalcedony.
28. In the application of self, in the study and meditation from within, there may be brought to self in its deeper meditations much of that which was experienced in Alexandria. For much that was seen there, that has been lost to many, needs to be interpreted to men. Through thine own hand, through thine own activity then, my child, there may come much of that as thou readest there.
29. Ready for questions.
30. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
