1. [900]: You will have before you the mind and body of [900], present in this room. In connection with this body, you will have the manuscript that he is at the present time writing, all important to him, as the chief work of his life. As given in this morning's reading [900-274], in the next phase of Clem's subconsciousness, we will present his sensuous physical, or physical vision of the incarnating spirit forces into the flesh form, and thence their disintegration and the conservation in the mind that which may become incarnated into the flesh for further development. In the process of this reincarnation, certain physical identities are set up, and in this manner can this phase be made most interesting - the chocolate coating to the truth we are presenting. You will, then, give, beginning with the first incarnation of [900] in the Egyptian period, a certain cross section of that period which will bring in adventure story, which will be very interesting reading and prove exciting reading to the reader.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900] and the information as has been given the body concerning those truths, tenets and lessons as may be gained through the various experiences in man and in man's forces, as are preserved in the various incarnations in the earth's plane.
3. As relating to the entity's experience in the earth's plane during the Egyptian period - which may be considered as one of the most momentous occasions or periods in the world's history, for to give the surroundings and the experiences of the entity is to give much of the history of the period, the day, the thought, and how same was attempted or given in that period, for we find the entity then as the scribe, in the position as would be termed to-day as the teacher, or the interpreter to the peoples of the laws as applying in the physical sense to the peoples. The tenets of the priests and Christian peoples in the sense to the same peoples. In this capacity, then, we find the entity,
900-275 Page 2
Aarat, coming as the interpreter for the king [341], and for the priest [294] (or chosen priest), by the tenets as were given, and as becoming acceptable to the peoples, and from same which was the first of records from which all of the thought and study of the worlds became - or to term in a different sense, the entity occupied the position of a Jefferson to the Declaration of Independence to the peoples in the religion and in the civil sense, see? Then, in presenting that as the basis for such, these truths, these interpretations, may be given in the sense as these are pointed out to become a portion of the vision, or the incarnation as Clem sees same, see?
4. The story, then, would begin as in this:
5. We find the scribe [900] among those of the Egyptians that were of the old rule, conquered by the peoples as came in from the hill country and set up the rule. When the young king came into power, Araaraart [341], the king set about to gather those of the learned to prepare those tenets for those peoples, to make same secure, and to give the proper rule and order. The priest [294] being chosen, the scribe and the councillors being chosen, the scribe set about to give those interpretations in the combination as Jefferson gave that of liberty to peoples, the scribe gives same to the peoples, the rules, in the separation of those truths as pertaining to man's relation with the higher creative energy and forces, and those first tenets as were presented were of no time, no space, all force one force, man the representative of the higher creative energy in the earth, and through same gave to the peoples, and that subdued that conception of that creative force, see? This, then, makes, as it were, the basis for the first of Clem's existence, and sees same as self passing through the experience, and thus giving the position in the plane in the present period, see?
6. (Q) What was the date, as man knows time, of this battle - (A) Ten thousand and fifty-six [10,506?] years before the Prince of Peace came. The records of much of the scribe may yet be found - many of the tenets were the lessons that the five nations, that gathered later, studied. Many are the temples builded later in the plains that are yet to be uncovered, near the Sphinx, as seen at present, which represents a portion of contemporary forces and contemporaries during the period, see?
7. (Q) Was the scribe part of the hill forces, or under the rule of the old Egyptians? (A) Under the rule of the old Egyptians, of the conquered peoples, but raised to the high authority, for the abilities
900-275 Page 3
in the entity. Hence ever in the capacity of one being oppressed, yet equal and above the others, see?
8. (Q) Was there any one experience in this life that would prove romantic, or entertaining, that would serve as a syrup or sweetening? (A) That of the raising of the entity from that of the servant, or the common scribe or learned man, to the position of the councillor, or the interpreter of councillors, to the reigning powers or ruling powers. This being, as in common parlance, the greater condition as comes to the entity - for at the age of twenty-nine (29), the world to the entity then was conquered by the hills peoples. At thirty-two (32) the king [341], then young in years, brought this one as the scribe to interpret and give to the peoples those lessons as the priest and as the councillors and kings gave, and set about to make laws, both civil and religious, see? This raising to the exalted power being the high point in the life of the entity in that experience, and this may be dwelt upon and made into a beautiful story all in itself, see?
9. (Q) In the next [as Elam - Neh. 10:14], the building of the Holy City and defending of same. (A) In this we find the entity then gave self in the defense of the tenets of the peoples, or abiding by the laws that had been given to the chosen people, and in that only of the faithful observer of that as then understood is the high point in that experience. That in the NEXT experience [as Achilles in Troy] being that of many of the disconcerting conditions mentally, and only the physical valor and the physical experience being the high points, as the warrior, see? yet all of these combined bring to this entity, as made an entity through the mind of the entity here, see? that as is necessary for the entity to bring or prove to self, as it were, that of all force [being] one force, and the directing of the energy that is exercised making or manifesting certain phases of that existence as is attempted to be exemplified by man's experience in the earth's plane, see?
10. (Q) Yet that physical experience as the soldier, Achilles, may be made very exciting - (A) Made very exciting - just as each phase of that experience of the entity may be made very exciting, as the description may be given in how the royal pomp of the king in Egypt seeks the lowly, humble, yet the circumscribed individual, in the huts of those subdued peoples, and raised same to pomp, power and glory - yet the scribe ever
900-275 Page 4
remaining that one ready to serve, giving counsel where counsel needed, putting in words so as to express that as is to be given from higher powers, that is physical to the expression of the greater powers as may be manifest in man. Again as is seen in that in the defender at the gate in the Holy City, may be pictured that of the advance of Sanballat, and those that would bring destruction, and as the men labored with trowel and mortar in one hand and with the sword in the other. [See Bible, Book of Nehemiah.] In that of Achilles, that of the glory of pomp, power - yet never oppression ever is seen, even in Achilles' forces.
11. We are through.
