1. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1258].
2. These as we find are a bit out of the ordinary, more than is usually indicated in the experience of one whose surroundings or environs are such as are indicated in the present. Yet these as we find interpreted in the correct manner may be applied in the present experience in such a way and manner as to be most helpful and beneficial. These not only make for unusual aspects from the astrological sojourns or influence but also quite a change from many that have been indicated or interpreted here from their sojourns in the earthly or material environment.
3. In many ways and manners the thoughts or inclinations are masculine, or would be considered so in many ways and manners in the thought; while the entity is very feminine, and an excellent one to choose attire for self in any occasion. But those things as pertain to science, or those things as pertain to trading or to chance are evidenced in not only the astrological aspects but from the sojourns in the earth. There are indications also of archaeological research. And those things that have to do with the definite trends that were made in the various stages of man's experience or indwellings in the earth become of great interest. The solving of problems that pertain to such. Hieroglyphics, those things as pertain to emblems, those things that have been considered a mystery; whether in a chemical compound as the alchemist or whether in words that have made and do make for the setting of vibrations in the experience of individuals as may use them in forms of an activity, whether for producing definite results or effects in chemical changes of the baser natures or whether in those
1258-1 Page 2
things as make for form or manner. Yet the body in itself, in its relationships of a social order, in its relationships of economic order, can - it may be said, in a material way - make expenditures of ANY nature go a long way. Yet in its activity of orderliness, in its activity of a nature that tends to even a CLASSICAL manner, the appearance in its person makes for influences then that oft become rather confusing to self and to those who may be associated with the entity in any relationship.
4. From the astrological aspects alone, we find rather Venus, Mars, Uranus, Saturn making for the greater influences in the innate urges within the entity. Thus we find while the entity is close oft in those associations or activities where wrath, war, turmoils, disturbances that have arisen from misunderstandings and misconceptions become upon the horizon of the entity's experience, the entity is oft active in the capacity of one that becomes more of the peacemaker. Yet such turmoils are rarely a portion of the entity's OWN experience; for the entity may be said to be too much of a diplomat, too much of a routinist within itself to allow such to become self's OWN experience; yet these are oft about the entity.
5. Hence we may find the abilities (and these are the unusual, astrologically), from the experiences of the entity in those environmental forces of Venus and Mars, for writing of certain natures; as would be a log of a trip, as would be in the findings of any group or association with which the entity might affiliate itself; as an excellent secretary, as an excellent companion for those that might be afflicted in hearing, in eyesight or in any of those phases of the EMOTIONS. For these may be depicted by the entity in its descriptions or in its affiliations or associations, in a very unusual or excellent way and manner.
6. From Uranus we find not only the extremist but the extremist in unusual ways and manners. Oft does the entity find the determination or the setting of self to this or that plan yet not becoming overanxious; the ability to wait upon those influences that may arise in the experience of those the entity would aid. For its evaluation in their experience and their ability to grow to that which the entity having found to be good or accessible in its own experience, the entity holds forth same as an ideal manner for acceptance in the experiences of another.
7. This makes for the mysticisms or those influences as has been indicated for its research in fields of a scientific nature and of its dependence upon reason as well as experience to become the experiences of others that they may
1258-1 Page 3
embrace even an opportunity. Yet it is very determined within self as to that path, road, way or manner in which plans, conditions or experiences will be worked out by self.
8. As to the sojourns in the earth, these we find in varied atmospheres of activity, in the various periods of influences that make for expressions from the urges from those natures and manners in the present experience:
9. Before this we find the entity was in the land or isle known as Samoa, during those first periods in the latter portion of the fifteenth century, when there were settlings and the first combinations of the natives that were the descendants of those peoples who had lost their way from the others - or those called the Lost Tribes, or the peoples of Naphtali.
10. The entity's forefathers then were in that line. The entity was a combination then in that experience between the peoples of the Mediterranean and the natives.
11. Then the name was Lulu Lung.
12. In the experience the entity made for the combinations of the activities of a musical nature and the ability for the understanding of the nautical activities.
13. Thus the sea and the isles of same have held, do hold for the entity an unusual drawing. Yet the very natures of research demand as it were in the experience in the present those seekings, those livings, those environs of things that are both old AND new; surroundings that have been of a nature that have found the changings of peoples in their activities, where great deeds of valor have been done, where the surroundings produced the environs for the composition of song or music; where great books were written by individuals who allowed or made for the surroundings or environs of the material nature to enhance the activity of their abilities for the subscribing or inscribing of those influences or forces for the influence upon peoples of all walks of life.
14. The entity may be said to have gained, yet things more of the mental and material throughout that sojourn rather than the spiritual made for the activities physically and mentally of the entity.
15. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Persian and Arabian, during those periods when there were changes under Darius and Xerxes.
16. The entity then was among those of the courts of Xerxes (or Ahasuerus), and making for the understandings, the relationships for that as pertained to the individuals of various lands and groups that were brought under subjugation or used as those that supplied the material labors, whether
1258-1 Page 4
for the preparations of things of the soil or whether for the preparations of things for the adornment of the body or of the buildings or grounds or conveniences that had to do with these.
17. Then the entity was a daughter of one of the advisors to Ahasuerus or Xerxes, and made for a great interest in the influence upon the dress of the peoples, upon the peoples who came in.
18. Hence in the present the entity finds self with the ability to be a designer or to choose well for any occasions given dress for self or for those about self. And a peculiar or particular interest is oft shown in the preparation of individuals for the depicting or in the preparation of those upon a stage or play or acting, that is to depict or to show the character of individuals through their dress in whatever environment or depicting of a particular period that may be presented.
19. The stage, then, as called in the present, has held and holds an interest for the entity.
20. Through the experiences the entity gained much more in the spiritual than in some of the other experiences in the earthly sojourns, for those peoples that had set a definite line or rule - or now called the Jewish being in the employ of the entity, much of that as hearsay, as custom, as those things that bespoke of the great activities in the Palestine lands during the reigns of those that had presented to the world such pomp and power, such adornments of body, such an understanding in the preparation of homes, etc., came under the entity's influence. These then the entity presented to her own peoples; which makes for its interest in the present in things that are new.
21. The name then was Hesternus.
22. Before that we find, that is an active influence in the present, we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian.
23. (But in passing, it may be said that much of that which has been given may be of interest in that being opened by researchers in the Persian land in the present. Seek it out through the University of Chicago.) [See newspaper clippings, Chicago. GD's note: See copy of these clippings under 1096-4, Par. R4 letter 9/2/36.]
24. In the Egyptian land the entity was among the Atlanteans who came into Egypt; the entity being of those peoples of the Law of One, and with those undertakings for the correlating of the activities of the individuals that dedicated their bodies and minds for an individual service by the ridding themselves through the fires of the Temple of
1258-1 Page 5
Sacrifice. These made the greater impressions upon the entity during that sojourn. For these fain had been left long since by the entity's own peoples.
25. And those of other lands and other peoples that made for this cleansing produced in the experience of the entity that which made for the greater activity during that particular sojourn - and which gives to the entity in the present those abilities in the writings that may be so helpful to others of the nature and character as has been indicated. For the entity then sought out to aid the various groups in their dealings with the various characters of appendages that were cleansed from peoples' bodies. Thus the spiritual activity, thus those forces that make for rote, interest in the alchemist formulas, arose from those experiences.
26. The name then, as the Atlantean, was Am-eel; as the aid in the Temple Worship, Gu-el-am-ee.
27. As to the abilities of the entity in the present and that to which it may attain, and how:
28. First know thy ideal and thyself, for the creative forces, for the activities in a material experience combined through the influences of material things and mental and spiritual attributes should be first upon the mind of the individual and there the growth begins.
29. To put it into the parlance of those that are of a faith, study to show thyself approved unto the Creative Forces that may manifest within, keeping thine own body, thine own mind, unspotted, untarnished by material and carnal forces. And ye shall find that in the greater application of thyself and thy abilities for making those records as may aid and help those who seek through the varied channels for their OWN purifying of mind and body, ye may bring the greater peace and harmony in thine own experience.
30. For as ye help, as ye aid thy fellow man to seek and to know, to find and to apply the spiritual forces of self WITHIN self, ye bring the greater blessings upon thine own self.
31. We are through. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
