1. EC: (In going back over years to birth date - "'30, '29 - What a change! '28, '27," etc. - "'95 - Change - '94, '93," etc., on back to date of birth.)
2. Yes, we have the entity, those records as made by same as related to the universe and universal forces, that manifest in the innate and manifested personalities of the present entity, [1032].
3. Much may be said regarding the entrance of the entity into material experience at this particular period when there is the necessity of the stimulations in the lives and expressions of individuals through the periods when the entity, for its own development, needs to be the inspiration in the lives and the expressions of others; that hope might not be lost, and thus find in the activities that which is the purpose for every soul's manifestation in materiality: To become more and more an expression or express manifestation of the Creative Forces, of the Giver of life, of the Giver of hope - and to Him who is immortality in the expressions of human efforts.
4. In these manners, then, did the entity enter with this purposefulness in its inner being. Hence there has ever and anon been those expressions in the experience that have, not only in its word but in the very expression of the activity, brought to those about the entity - and those with whom the entity has associated - that consciousness of the unity of life, the oneness of the Father-God, the Creative Forces, a portion of the Whole; and that all in their varied manners are but an expression of this oneness from their OWN plane of experience and development.
5. For He hath not willed that any soul should perish, but hath given His angels charge concerning those things, those manners in which man in his weakness, even his blindness,
1032-1 Page 2
may be shown the way. And this entity to many has been, will be, that influence that has made and will make for the greater expression of that hope in the lives of many; and in such measures and manners that it becomes as the warp and woof of those souls.
6. In the expressions then from the astrological aspects in the experience of the entity, we will find these are rather a variation from that which would ordinarily be as the interpretation of same. For not only in those influences about the earth, about the earth has the entity resided - but in Venus; the love influence that has made, does make for the beauty and strength and harmony in the inmost recesses of the entity's experience - even under trials and tribulations from without, even from those expressions where there were given those activities that made for doubts and fears in the purposes of individuals' activities, there has ever been the love for the fellow man. For that love expressed in the Creative Force has so oft been the saving grace, as it were, in the experience of the entity.
7. Hence tolerance and patience have been and are those influences that are as ruling forces in the activities of the entity in the present. Also those influences may be said to have been and to be an expression in activities when brought to materiality; as holding an expression in activities when brought to materiality; as holding ever to an ideal that has been and is as a guiding star in the innate influences of the entity's inner being.
8. And when there have arisen and do arise those things that to others become duties and obligations from the moral experiences of the earth, the ENTITY has turned and does turn to same rather with the attitude or the purpose that the love of the Creative Forces - through the expressions of same - might be made manifest. Then, this makes the obligations or duties (as considered in the minds of some) become rather as a loving experience; as the expression of self in relationships to individuals, causes, purposes that influence groups and even masses of peoples.
9. From the influences in Jupiter we find the breadth of EXPERIENCE in the relationships. And as the entity applies itself in the varied expressions there may come more and more that expression of the beauty that life offers for each soul that more and more becomes an expression of the LOVE of the Father in the earth.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, then, that become rather as the impulses in the nature or personality or individuality of the entity in the present experience, we find:
1032-1 Page 3
11. Before this the entity was in that land now known as Massachusetts, in and about Salem and Provincetown; during those periods when there were those activities in which the expressions of those were to make for a home or an abode where the purposes of mind, the purposes of conscience in its service to the Creative Forces, might not be bound by convention of an individual.
12. Yet through or during the experience there, as Gracia Whetlock(?), there were periods when the manifestations of those activities in the spiritual forces became stumblingblocks to many; and brought to the entity periods when doubts and fears arose.
13. However, by the very activity of the entity in its associations with those, there have been brought in the present the experiences where there has been, as it were, the material justification of those innate feeling as respecting influence of outside forces with the inside forces of individuals that may become as expressions in the life experience of individuals.
14. Hence again we find that which is innate and expressed; the tolerance to others as to their beliefs. Yet the entity is left free and desires to be left free to give expression of that which is the motivative force within self as to ITS dealings with not only its fellow man but as to the MANNER of expressing same as to the Creative Forces that may manifest in the experience of the entity:
15. Before that we find the entity was in the earth during that period, or in that day when the Master walked in the land; in those periods and places about the Holy City (to many).
16. The entity was then among those who were nigh unto the priests that ministered in the temple, that made for the associations of man's relationships to the individuals who sought for the quieting of the longings within, for the expressions of a divine love shown among men.
17. And in those days when there was the presenting in the temple, when Anna blessed the Son, the entity aided in that service in such measures that to the entity in the present experience the birth of a son, the birth of any one to those about the entity, has meant and does mean a purposefulness of opportunity that seldom finds expression in the material world as to the understanding of motherhood among the children of men.
18. Hence the entity in its activities during those periods when there were the persecutions by those in authority, that the fear might be allayed, made for experiences that find expressions in the manner in which the entity in the present
1032-1 Page 4
HONORS motherhood in all its relationships. And OFT has the entity seen and found and aided in bringing such expression in many strata of experience to those that might never have had the opportunity, without the expressions the entity has given in its aid by word, by act, and by the very activities in which the entity has engaged.
19. However, through those very expressions, as experience, there have come those periods - not of anger but of hurt, and a longing for that healing force which was experienced by the entity during that sojourn in Jerusalem, Judea, and in those portions of Galilee to which the entity's activities carried the entity; as the associate or Zadok, the priest that worked opposite - and it would be termed today - to Zachariah, who waited on the temple service.
20. Hence the entity, holding fast in the present to those words that were given in those activities for the Master during those periods, may bring to self the greater consciousness of the necessity of those that may struggle within themselves to find expression. For many have been and are blessed by coming in contact with and in relationship to this entity, that there might be - in those realms that have been indicated - the channel open that HIS purpose with EVERY soul may be indeed FULFILLED.
21. For He hath not purposed that any soul should perish. And as the entity has been and is as the quardian angel to many, so may His strength, His love, as expressed among men, become as the stamina, as the water of life, as the bread that may make for the strengthening of purpose in the earth, become to the entity that upon which it may lean for strength. And the GLORY of the Lord will fill and crown the efforts of the entity to overflowing. For to those whom the Lord loveth, and to those that give expressions of same, does the glory not only of the earth but of the mental, of the spiritual things, become as a portion of their experience; not alone cut of the earth but WITHIN same. For the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof is His to give to those that use its storehouse for the making known of the love of God to His children.
22. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when turmoils arose from those expressions of the natives, of the varied activities from the priests of the period, and those from other lands.
23. When there began the correlating and the ministering unto others the understandings that those teachings from Saneid, Taoi (?), Oz, and those of other lands, were but another expression of that given by the Priest Ra-Ta of Egypt, the entity became as the priestess that made for the
1032-1 Page 5
establishing of those things that represented the Temple Beautiful in the expressions in other lands.
24. Hence we may find, those things that pertain to the PURIFYING of the lives of individuals become as a portion of the study and of interest to the entity; who was then known as Is-Huis.
25. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
26. Hold fast to that thou hast seen within thine inner self. PURIFY that purpose through the meditations upon the usefulness and the channel to which He may call thee in thine activities.
27. And ye will find - even as He called to thee when there were those varied activities in Cana, in the City, in those periods even when thou didst behold Him upon the Cross of shame (that to thee has become, does become through those very activities, NOT as a cross) - the BEAUTY of a life well lived. For what have been crosses to others, to thine self may be a stepping-stones for not only the appreciation but the comprehending of the glory of the Lord.
28. Keep thy paths straight.
29. KNOW that He, thy Redeemer, liveth; and giveth expressions THROUGH THEE that others may know that HE loveth those who show forth His love to their brethren.
30. For each soul becomes a channel, that may make for those glories that are His alone.
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) Will the work I am doing now be successful and right? (A) As just given, hold fast to that thou hast purpose in thine heart. For through these channels, make it more and more a manner in which the expression of love, the expressions of hope, may be found among men.
33. (Q) Is there anything else I can do for my boy? (A) Hold fast. Thou hast purposed well. Seek to have added those things from the MATERIAL world that may, through the awakening of those elements lacking in the physical body for the mental and physical expression to be added in such measures that the self, the ego of the son, may find greater and easier expression in this material life.
34. (Q) I would like to know something about my husband, if I could help him any more. (A) As thou hast builded in thine self, as thou hast meted out to him, hold to same. For these, as it has been pointed to thee, are the channels in which thou has been the inspiration oft to many, as thou hast been to him. Hold, then, to that. And thou wilt find that thoughts in self are THINGS, and they take HOLD in the minds - yea, the souls -
1032-1 Page 6
of individuals.
