1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [1007], born March 12, 1871, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and her Life Reading through this channel on September 20, 1935, in which it was given that much more might be obtained for her later. Considering her earthly existence as Assen-ni in the Atlantean-Egyptian period, and as Cleus-eon in the Persian-Arabian period, you will give such detailed information concerning either or both periods that will be of most help to her - and that should be stressed in her present development.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1007]; with the information that has been indicated through these channels respecting the activities of the entity, and that as related to its application of its abilities in the present.
3. In interpreting the records made by the entity, it is with the desire and hope that these may be applied in the present in such a manner as to bring peace and harmony, and the answering within of the desires and purposes for sojourns through material experiences.
4. Then in the presenting more of the activities of the entity through the Atlantean-Egyptian experience, something of the background - or that might be called history of the period or time - would be well; that the entity might see as to how those experiences may be said to fit that as the entity finds about self even in the present.
5. For if time and space become nil when the spiritual purpose of an entity is considered, then we are what we are because of what we have been.
6. And if that has been constructive, or of a creative nature in the experience, and carried a conviction or purpose in which self has been spent, then such may still be a portion of the real entity in the present.
7. For only good, or purposefulness, lives on; for it is a part of the eternal oneness - or at-onement with the purposes of Creative Energies or Forces.

8. In that sojourn, then, we find that Assen-ni was of the children of the Law of One; with the children of Belial as the negative influence or force among the children of men.
9. And there was the realization by Assen-ni that those who had been born were through no fault of their own being used as creatures for exploitation; and that through the very influence and power of the children of Belial the Creative Energies were being used for destructive purposes - or as cloaks behind which their activities might be carried on.
10. Thus those disintegrations were brought about that were so well given in the injunctions later written in the admonitions to Abraham, to Jacob, to Moses, to Elijah, to Joshua, to all the children of promise - of which we have records.
11. And if the entity will interpret the admonitions of Moses, much of that which is THE INNER BASIC PRINCIPLE of the entity may be found.
12. With the realization of the children of the Law of One that there was to be the final breaking up of the Poseidian-Atlantean lands, there were the emigrations with many of the leaders to the various lands.
13. Thus we find Assen-ni came into that called the Egyptian land, with Ax-Tell as well as Ajax (Ax-Tell and Ajax being the same, as a united force) [See 470-33, Par. 19-A, explaining that these 2 names refer to the same person.]; as they were attempting to coordinate their teachings with those of the religious teacher - or the Priest of the period.
14. There we find the entity presented again the consideration that must be given to those of EVERY walk of life; and that not by birth or position alone were the activities of the leaders to become the laws or the ruling forces and influences among the lands, among the peoples.
15. Hence we find the entity was active especially in the influences for the establishing of the Temples of Sacrifice, and the Temple Beautiful; that represented or offered a channel through which there was a purging of the bodies as well as the minds, in the manners as we have indicated. It was much in the same way and manner that our hospital institutions and educational institutions of today would purge the individual from disease that wrecks body and mind; as well as the preparation of the individual through the educational forces for the perpetuation of the good - or the best in the race.
16. As the entity saw then, and as it experiences in the present, the education is not to fit an individual to be lord or master but for service - better service; whether in
1007-3 Page 3
the ministry to the needs of the material man, the mental man or the spiritual man.
17. And as these must be kept coordinant one with another, so may the entity - in its experience and in its application of itself in every phase of its activity - carry on; in that there would be the insistence to those in authority, whether politically, socially, morally, or as teachers or ministers, that there must be consistence - that all must be consistent with that which they preach; that what they preach they must practice; and that those who have the education in specific lines of endeavor must be consistent with the whole.
18. Along such lines did the entity raise the insistence in those periods; that all phases must be consistent.
19. For the entity gained tolerance through that experience, and it stands in the activities of the entity in the present as a virtue that is beyond the ken of many - yet there are the insistences that all must coordinate; that is:
20. One may not be merely the good business man in his activities and not be a good fellow man, ministering to the needs of those in EVERY walk of life.
21. For as the entity experienced through that sojourn, thou art indeed thy brother's keeper; and as was given in the days of yore, if ye are not faithful to that, thy brother's blood will cry aloud to heaven from the ground upon which it is spilled.
22. Such are the urges, such are the missions that ye may bring the leaven into the lives of those that are teachers, ministers, doctors of the law, of the church, of medicine; that there must be the spirituality, that the service rendered must be as unto the Maker.
23. We find that such activities were carried farther in that sojourn also in the Persian land, though the interpretations thereof would come from a little different cause or purpose.
24. For in the Egyptian sojourn we find that the urge is for the activity as the very nature of the entity, or as the natural source of things; while in the Persian land we find the entity during the first portion of its sojourn was active in such capacity rather because of its material position.
25. For in that land we find the entity was the sister of the Croesus that was then in authority, or the first Croesus (Croesus being the name of a line of several kings that followed). And the entity in the first portion of its sojourn rather took the place of that ruler, yet found not the answer to that urge within for expression - accepting
1007-3 Page 4
the custom and conditions as a part of the routine in the associations as one with another.
26. But through those contacts later with that activity in the "city in the hills and the plains," the entity became aware that indeed in that land there was being manifested that the Lord is in His holy temple in the body of each and every man. And the entity saw that the ministry there was for the awakening or arousing in the heart and mind of each and every soul of that relationship borne to the Creative Force.
27. Thus the entity realized that it behooves every individual not only to visualize but to recognize within the hearts and minds of its fellow men that kinship, that relationship.
28. Then we find that the entity's activity became somewhat of the same character as in the Egyptian sojourn, through the presenting of the services to which individuals had been directed; not only because of the entity's abilities as a leader, but through its expostulation, its ministry, its service, and its arousing to activity those who would bring more and more into the experience of others their relationship to the Maker.
29. So in the present - so in the now - use that knowledge, use that ability; first, in warning others as to the needs of being consistent in their lives day by day.
30. Such are the missions that ye may fill by thy counsel, sowing thus the seed as ye did in the days of yore; leaving ITS fruition, leaving its reaping to Him that doeth all things well.
31. For as ye learned, as ye applied through those experiences - in thy voice, in thy activity, in thy purpose, in thy desire, "Others may do as they may, but as for me - I will serve a living God; in that I will sow the seeds of the Spirit of Truth that God is not a respecter of persons but rather the respecter of those who love His ways and His comings."
32. In this manner may thy life-expression in the present be brought to a crowning of the glories of thy purposes in the material experiences.
33. Ready for questions.
34. We are through for the present. Copy to Self through Mr. [877] " " Ass'n file
