1. EC: (In going back from present to birth date, seeking the record - "Balu Galinsky (?)" [EC's pronunciation of his original Russian name?])
2. Yes, we have that entity and those relationships with the universe and universal forces that are latent and manifested in the experience of the entity called now [1232] - Balu Galinsky (?).
3. In giving that as may be helpful in the experience of this entity, know that while there are influences as from the astrological inclinations, as from those tendencies and urges from sojourns in the earth, NONE of these surpass WILL.
4. And as the entity in the present experience has had those influences in which by will, by SHEER will, material things and material conditions have been changed, material things accomplished - unless they be founded in a spiritual import or purpose these must eventually bring discord or corruption in the experience of the entity.
5. For the information, the records here are of the soul - that portion, that real self, that lives on - ON - and ON! And each soul is, in the experiences of consciousness on the material plane, constantly meeting self and that self HAS DONE to others in the relationships to that which IS spiritual, which is creative, which is real, which is everlasting.
6. For the SOUL was made in the image of the Creator, to be a companion with that influence which is constructive, which is creative. And in materiality as an individual expresses or manifests its activity in relationship to its fellow man, it carries with it that natural import of, "As ye do it unto the least of thy brethren, of thy fellow man, ye do it unto THY God, THY SOURCE of power, thy SOURCE of supply."
7. Then to use that of any nature that is contrary to the
1232-1 Page 2
source is dividing the house against itself, which CANNOT stand.
8. From the astrological sojourns we find rather the Piscean influences that are as innate and manifested in the experience of the entity. The TENDENCY for security, the TENDENCY for the companionship of others, the tendency for an interest in those things that are mysteries and that are of a mysterious nature - or that arise from out of the metaphysical or psychical force to the inclinations for the creating of hope, the holding about self of those friendships that are near and dear.
9. These have not all been experiences in the present sojourn of the entity, yet these things are innate; these things are sought; these things are well.
10. For the entity HATH developed in the experience. And the experience has arisen to that point in the affairs such that it may be said of the entity in the present, "NOW - what will I do with that I have brought into my experience to the present?" The honest dealing, the integrity, that sureness of a belief in a divine influence in the activities of self are noble. But LOVE thine enemies also. Do good to those that would despitefully use thee. Not to thine own undoing; not in that thou would revert to some of those experiences necessary as have been in thine activity for the acclaimings, the gainings for an opportunity. But rather let those things of the earth, those things of materiality, be as the fruit of, as the outcome of, well-doing in thy relationships, in honesty, in integrity, in patience, in longsuffering, in brotherly love. These be the manifestations of those activities that may bring the fruits that are ennobling, that will bring harmony and understanding.
11. The entity in the experience hath SEEN these as afar, or glimpses here and there have come into the experience - but hold fast to that thou knowest - to do good! For he that endureth unto the end shall wear the crown of life, the crown of glory; and find rest, peace, harmony unto the soul, and shall hear the voice, "Come, thou good and faithful servant - as thou hast been loyal over the few things, I will make thee ruler over many."
12. Ye are gaining; ye have heard, ye have seen. But what wilt thou do with that thus accomplished?
13. As to the appearances in the earth, we find that these have been quite varied; yet they make for associations and activities in which the entity finds those innate forces and those directing activities as it were in the experience that have brought about, do bring about, those close
1232-1 Page 3
relationships in friendships.
14. Before this, then, we find the entity was in the land of its present sojourn; during those periods when there were the first settlings in the land in that portion not far from the present abiding place, the entity had what was called then the frontier trading post - with those peoples of the north land, those peoples of the western and those peoples of the plains below same.
15. There the entity made for a trading post as pertained to furs, pelts, skins of various characters and kinds.
16. Hence the sojourn and activity made for associations with a great number of what would be termed in the present QUESTIONABLE individuals. Yet with those of the native land, with those whom the entity dealt, EVER was the entity's activity - as Samuel Gainsay - such that his word was as a bond, as an experience to all with whom the entity dealt.
17. The END in that experience was rather severe, as would be termed from present classification.
18. And beware in the fifty-second year of an accident.
19. In the experience the entity gained. Though the dealings brought greater glory in the material, the basis of these was founded in friendship, in brotherly love, in sincerity, in truth.
20. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the upper portion of what is called the Ukraine, or in that land of Zulencaie.
21. In that experience we find the entity was among those peoples that, with the activities from the Carpathians, the Grecians, the Romans, drew up the activities that made for a settling in the land of those forces and influences wherein not only the fruits of the land were a portion of same but it became as a place of exchange, a place where there were those activities that made for not only a development in the moral and spiritual life but in the commercial and economic life for those peoples. And the entity had much to do with those activities in that particular experience.
22. And out from those centers went many that did much to aid in establishing in the Bosporus, in the Dardanelles as now called - or in Athens, a ruling that even made for the CLASSICAL (as termed now) reactions in MATERIAL changes for body, mind, and the preparations of individuals DWELLING together in peace.
23. The name then, as would be termed in this land or these words, was Bulbus Cleveleon.
24. As to the activities in the present from that sojourn, we will find that those relationships as to dress, those
1232-1 Page 4
relationships as to styles, those relationships as to individuals' adorning of self, become as a portion of the entity's experience. And as these were gainful, not only in the material but in the mental and spiritual, these are WELL to hold to in the present.
25. Before that we find the entity was in the now known Persian land, when there were those returnings for those peoples of Judah to the city of Zion, when there were the gatherings of those under Zerubbabel for the journeys back for their activity.
26. The entity then was among those peoples who aided in the first upbuilding of the temple activity. And many of those things that became as of hearsay, as of tradition, as of the gatherings of those things that made for the activities as they were renewed, came through the hands of the entity then - in the name Adajar.
27. In the experience the entity gained; and the entity lost when those things that were turned into that for self-indulgence were such that privileges were sold to individuals for conveniences and satisfying of forces within self - these eventually brought destructive forces in the experience.
28. Hence we may find in the experience of the entity in the present those periods when duty and the religion, earthly gains and the law of the innate self, clash. But hold fast to that which is the Law of One, that ye may know in truth - as has been given - that house, that temple, that soul that finds itself divided against itself becomes one of turmoil. And what gaineth a man though he gain the whole world in fame or fortune and hath lost his own rest, his own peace, his own soul?
29. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, as now known, during those periods when there were the enterings of those from the nomad land - or the Palestine or Persian land.
30. The entity then was among the natives that were in power, in authority; a ruler under the king of the land in the northernmost portion.
31. With the entrance of these tribes or these peoples or groups, the entity joined heartily in - for there came the ideal for that which would make for an easy experience, that would furnish the supply of the material needs without material activity.
32. And these brought for the time being a pleasant MATERIAL surrounding, yet the end - as would ever - turned upon the entity.
33. In the name then Ju-She-Pit.
1232-1 Page 5
34. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain and how:
35. In those fields of activity materially that have to do with bodily adornment, those of furs or skins or things that have to do with a temple service or a temple worship. THESE are the fields of activity of the NATURAL tend or intents of the entity's own inner development.
36. In the mental, find that in which thou hast and doth believe, and in which there may be the giving of not only the material but the mental and spiritual self for safe keeping; in those places, in those experiences where moth and rust doth not corrupt, where thieves nor those that would make afraid may not enter in - but where the soul knoweth in whom it has believed, and knowing that it is able to keep - through that measure that ye mete to thy fellow man day by day - against ANY experience, ANY turmoil that may arise.
37. And ye shall find harmony and hope, ye shall find satisfyings for the heart's longings in such.
38. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
