Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Entity - who seeks a continuation of her Life Reading on her Palestine incarnation, as Mariaerh, begun Dec. 15, 1937.)
1. EC: (In undertone - "Mariaerh of the Samaritans, Judean hill country - triumphal entry - associations with the Women - affiliation with those during the Pentecost - companion or wedded to Lucius of Cyrene, the bishop of the church in Laodicea.")
2. Yes - with the activities in the ministry, when the entity was with its companion Lucius in Laodicea, when Lucius was made - by Paul, and Barnabas - head of the church; there came some hardships to the entity owing to the teachings of Paul concerning the interests of those who were as leaders or the head of the churches, and from which grew in many quarters the commanding or demanding of celibacy as a prerequisite for the activities as a bishop or leader.
3. This caused the entity, Mariaerh, owing to the fact that there were no children, to feel that most of those teachings of Paul - or many - were directed at her.
4. Owing then to the close friendships that grew between John Mark and Mariaerh, again questions arose in the minds of many - owing to the differences in the ages of Lucius and Mariaerh.
5. These caused many disturbing conditions with the entity in that experience.
6. Only when there had been, with Luke and Barnabas, the greater and better understanding, did there come to be a greater activity by Mariaerh in these activities and surroundings.
7. In the latter portion of the activities - before the persecutions of the church arose, through the activities of the entity as aroused against Paul and his disputes with the mother church; or the first church in Antioch and the first church in Jerusalem headed by the brother of the Lord, James, and Peter and Andrew and the others that from time to time made those visitations there - there was a son born to

the entity, that grew in grace and in favor with all of those not only in the first church but those that had been closely associated with the activities that preceded the coming of the Master, and the teachings of the Essenes.
8. These made for greater and better activities by the entity during the experience.
9. The entity then lived to those ages of sixty-nine, seeing then that the son - Sylvius - came to be reckoned by the leaders as one chosen for service in the name of the Master.
10. While there were many disturbances from the material, the entity's experience throughout was for a growth in the mental and spiritual.
11. As to the applications in the present from the experience:
12. The abilities of the entity to write; especially Bethany to the Temple, or from the experiences of self as associated with Lucius - as the love story in same; and the cry of the multitudes, the words and the messages of the Master on the way.
13. These may become in the experience an awakening to the greater abilities.

[1472], then Judy - when there was a reviving of the teachings for the son Sylvius as related to the prophecies that had been made by the leader or teacher or prophetess of the Essenes; in the latter portion of the experiences of the entity Judy, were the closer associations then more as the advisor or counselor.
