1. GC: You will have before you [953], born Oct. 1, 1871, on a farm about 5 miles S. and E. of Olean, Miller Co., Mo., and the life existence in the earth's plane as Asriaio, the chief councillor to the ruler in Egypt. You will give the history of this experience in the earth plane, and you will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask you. You will also give the astrological forecast for this entity in the PRESENT experience in the earth plane.
2. EC: Yes, this we have here. This we have had before.
3. Now, the existence in the earth's plane, and the experiences to the entity, are those great influences as are seen in the existence or experience of the entity in the present plane. Why? For there are more of the entities under the influence, and the entity, [953] (known at present), is influenced greater by entities passing in the earthly existence than at any other single period. Like begets like. Forces magnified become greater. These the conditions then.
4. As to that experience, as is seen and given, the entity rises from among his own people to the position of chief councillor, during the reign of the first conqueror [165] of this people, but is retained as the councillor to that ruler. When the second ruler [341] rises to position, still retained as chief councillor, and at the time of the divisions among the peoples, on account of conditions arising between the high priest, or the head of the religious study [294], as would be termed today, the councillor persuaded, ruled, as it were, with the king, for the banishment of the ruler priest, for, as is set, the law ABOVE that of the maker, and is, as has been seen and given, a factor in the entity's life today. (In connection with this, then, may be seen that there are those who would seek to defraud the association or company with which this entity is associated, in Detroit, through those raising of money orders - numbered 3374861. This, as we see, will be

presented through one of the Cleveland trust companies. The perpetrator of this is one of the travelling associates of this company itself. Through this it may be found - Schnail.) [GD's note: See 953-10, which may or may not be pertinent to preceding paragraph.]
5. In the rule, the entity became the chief power, for the councillor even to that of the ruler, yet never usurping the authority as is exercised during this experience, and, as given, this then brought much gain in the spiritual development of the entity during that earth period - living then to the great age, and seeing the manifestation of many of the ideas and ideals as were made, given, and propounded, through this councilship to the peoples, both in high and low places.
6. During this period was the completion of the memorial standing as the mystery of the ages to-day [the sphinx], and this, as is seen, represents this councillor to the kings, for, as is seen in the figure itself, not as one of the kings made in beast form, yet overseeing, supervising, giving council, giving strength, to the kings before and the kings since. The face, even as was given then, is the representation of this councillor to this great people. These, and many findings, as given, may be found in the base of the left forearm, or leg, of the prostrate beast, in the base of foundation. Not in the underground CHANNEL (as was opened by the ruler many years, centuries, later), but in the real base, or that as would be termed in the present parlance as the cornerstone. The council of the entity in that day brought much good to the peoples, not only of that land, but of many others, and in the exaltation of the ideals as set by this councillor, by the descendants OF the councillor, brought in that land, that became destructive in other fields, or that land lost [Atlantis].
7. In the force of this as may, then, be brought in the present day (for, as given, many come under the present guidance of the entity), the entity guided much, physically and mentally, by entities in that same realm. Then in the present there is still seen that many take council from these forces as set in motion, and will bring much good to the peoples in the earth's plane for many, many, more centuries to come, for, with this arising again of the powers as may be set, and as ARE set, through the efforts, the entity will bring much, much, in every field, to the peoples, even in greater mysteries than the sphinx, the representative of the entity, has produced in the last centuries as passed. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What was the mode of transportation during this
953-24 Page 3
period in Egypt? (A) In this period there was the caravan, a portion of the lost forces as were seen in the lighter than air, and the forces of the force, as given, propelling in water.
9. (Q) What, please, was the mode of transportation of the emissaries to the notable gathering often mentioned in readings? (A) Lighter than air, as was seen, the beginning of the sacred fires from India, through the skins as of animals that were being destroyed and made into those great bayous (?), as would be today termed balloons. These became the mode of travel for the peoples in the emissaries' gathering from the five nations, peoples or places, of man's indwelling.
10. We are through.
