1. EC: Yes, we have the records here of [1341]. Many associations we find that come from out of connections There is a relationship here between large orchard grounds and the entity near Cincinnati that should be looked into by the entity. There is an association with an old estate in England whose coat or crest is the unicorn, the helmet - yes, two unicorns, the helmet and staff and the plume about the staff. These are parental (?) associations of material natures. Yes, there was a railroad, too, with it.
2. In giving that as we find from the records here of the entity's activities in its sojourns in the earth and those interims of the environs about the earth, we find little of an astrological aspect becoming a portion of the entity's experience. Not that the entity may be said to be wholly material-minded, but the application of the mental self has been and is held to be so necessary in the material things that the spiritual is too easily lost sight of in practical application by the entity.
3. As we find then from a summation of the experiences (as we shall see), and from the application of self as related to the material, the mental and spiritual applications, this might be said of the entity:
4. While of sufficient mien to enjoy a good joke, to be laughed at or derided by others is unbearable to the entity; oft arising, or causing the mental exertions of the entity to produce a determination to override - by the very mental abilities - such that would cause or bring such experiences in the affairs or dealings of the entity.
5. Hence while the activities are very good in associations of political and economic conditions, affairs dealing with national and international relationships, this very experience or condition must be well cared for by the entity, lest this become a stumblingstone to those projects,
1341-1 Page 2
those conditions as the entity may interest self in for the common welfare of the many.
6. Then it is necessary for not merely a mental patience (for this the entity possesses) but spiritual patience also.
7. In the astrological urges we find that Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune deal with latent urges; though these remain the more oft latent, unless there is a greater application of those influences in those directions as indicated.
8. Hence the entity is "a good fellow well met," easily making friends; yet in the very nature is reserved in a manner. A good conversationalist, and he should make himself a better listener.
9. Do not continue to make for justification by reason alone materially, but justification by deeds done and by spiritual application of ideals more than ideas will bring a greater ability of holding the interest and of making practical the great mental abilities that are shown in the entity's study, the entity's speech, the entity's activities in many ways.
10. This makes also for the greater interest mentally manifested in the many; and for the abilities to interest those who have been or who are upon waters, or overseas.
11. Hence international as well as national subjects become a portion of the entity's experiences.
12. And when that type or element of patience is manifested, those activities with those influences dealing with international problems will become the greater interests of the entity.
13. As to the appearances in the earth, that influence the entity in the present, we find:
14. Before this the entity was in the earth during those periods of what is now called the American Revolution, during those activities of the Continental armies in portions of now New York, Connecticut, Hampshire and Vermont - in the name Wayne.
15. We find the entity was then of what would be called today the Intelligence Department of that portion of the Continental Armies; reporting to, making for activities especially with Mercer, Washington, Greene, and those of that part of the Army activities.
16. The entity gained through the greater portion of the experience, and remained in active force in those portions of the land after there were the settlings of the land.
17. From those experiences the interests then come in the ability to gather data or facts from those various projects, whether they be of a national or international nature, whether they be for commercial organizations or for a state,
1341-1 Page 3
city, or the national projects that may be begun or attempted.
18. Hence not as a mere statistician but rather as one that would supply data for statisticians, for those in the greater authority.
19. And because of that very weakness the entity may be the greater service in the background than in the van of any great movement; though first overcoming or satisfying or basing the purposes of the activity upon spiritual imports and none of self, the entity may be a leader.
20. Before that we find the entity was in the land now called the Roman, during those periods when there were the greater expansions under Claudius Caesar for an empire that was to rule not only most of the activities of the world in military and economic life but in the moral life.
21. The entity then was among those of the emissaries who represented the reporting to those in authority under that Caesar; especially in the Grecian land, the Mesopotamian land, and a portion of the Palestine land.
22. There the entity gained, there the entity lost. For with the taking on of the entity's experiences with the teachings of Paul in portions of the land, in the acceptance of same, the entity gained; yet with being laughed at for his tender heartedness, his chicken-heartedness even as called then, it became the downfall or the losing portion of that experience - as Tultimustouen, or Timous as was generally termed in the experience.
23. From that experience and those activities, we find in the present those inclinations for the questioning of those who rely too much (as judged by the entity) upon their religious affiliations or associations; and yet not tolerant enough is the fault in these directions. Though there is the holding to tenets, the entity makes them as mental abilities rather than giving their proper evaluation in the affairs and in the lives and in the promptings of the fellow men. This became - and is yet - a condition, an experience, to be met.
24. Do it NOW!
25. For without the Lord guide, indeed may the greater mind fail - for it must!
26. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Indian, or the Indian and the Egyptian; when there was the coordinating of those of the lands of Mu and of Saneid and Ra-Ta and On, all in their attempts for that purposefulness which is a harkening to something within the entity.
27. For the entity was an emissary and visited most of those
1341-1 Page 4
and saw how that in the moral life and in the spiritual life there might become a unison, and peace and harmony made to be the coordinating forces in all the activities of the peoples of the earth.
28. So the entity becoming one with that purpose in self, and in the name Egoan, made for the first unison - and then of self-indulgence.
29. These that the entity made that become disrupting, meet them - first in self.
30. As to the abilities of the entity then, and that to which it may attain:
31. There are those experiences, as indicated, wherein the entity may accomplish much; or that whereunto the entity may accomplish is only limited to that wherein the entity limits the purpose. For if the purpose is builded in Creative Forces and spirituality rather than any economic, political or by partisan forces, the activities then become as helpmeets with the Creator of harmony in and among men. But if there is the self injected, then these must make for hard experiences. For the greater the ability, the greater is that required or demanded not only of and by self, but self's relationships to Creative Forces as may manifest in a material world.
32. In those things as pertain then to the national and international relationships as to law and order for a DIVINE purpose may the greater forces come, materially - that in the financial and in the law may the entity find justification.
33. (Q) Was the entity [1341] connected with or related to the entity [1151] in any previous life? (A) In the Roman experience. They were then as co-laborers for a purpose.
34. (Q) Was the entity [1341] connected with an entity named BUCKLE during the nineteenth century? (A) Do not find so, save as a helpmeet for a Buckle - or Buckalew.
35. (Q) Is it intended that the entity [1151] maintain close personal relations with the entity [1341]? (A) This may be very well for [1341]!
36. (Q) Was the entity [1341] related previously to the entity [...], his wife? (A) That's a part of the relationships with the [1341]'s of Cincinnati, New York - yes, and of those places near Edinburgh. Close relationships but rather blood, as would be called, than marital - yes, close relationships.
37. (Q) Will the entity [1341] crystallize his dream of an organization devoted to international peace, at an early date?
1341-1 Page 5
(A) Conquer self, and he may!
38. (Q) Any other information? (A) Much might be said, much is bound about by self.
