1. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [1486].
2. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find, much might be said as to the long lapses in material experiences, owing to the purposes innate - and the development of the entity during material sojourns.
3. For oft, the longer the periods between the earthly sojourns the greater has been - or may be - the development of the soul entity to that which EACH soul IS to attain through its appearances among men.
4. Hence we find, as have been the purposes of the entity's appearances in the earth, there have been definite periods of advancement in the thoughts of man - as in its relationships to its fellow man or in the activities of the individual in its expressions towards Creative Forces in the relationships to man.
5. Hence the activities of the entity have been, as manifested in the present, the pointing out or directing the influences for man in its associations one with another.
6. Hence the entity may be considered - and in the present - a great propagandist; or one whose experience, or one whose life may be employed in directing the thoughts of the masses, as well as individuals, in some specific purpose as to relations of nations, or groups, or classes - as their relationships may bear to their fellow man, either in different climes or in different relationships, respecting any phase of man's experience, or man's association, as one to another.
7. Whether in natures that today would be termed commercial, or as related to laws that would be enterchanging in nature between other nations or similar activities, or even those that would pertain to the relationships of groups as to
1486-1 Page 2
their activity in the air, upon the ocean; or as would be termed natures pertaining to interstate, inter-nation, inter-activities that bear upon such.
8. In these fields may the entity's abilities be directed, as may be seen from not only the material sojourns but from the very influences of the astrological aspects that point to the directing of the entity's experiences in those directions.
9. The astrological aspects, as has so oft been indicated, are rather as signs, or omens; and not that the entity is influenced because Mercury or Jupiter or Venus or Saturn might have been in certain positions in the heavens at the moment or time of birth. But rather as has been given, He hath given the souls of men the abilities to subdue not only the earth but the universe. For man in the soul force is a portion of same; hence has his relative relationships to same by ACTIVITIES.
10. For as there is indicated, it is the MOVEMENT of spirit upon things that do not appear that has brought into being the things that DO appear; not of things that do appear.
11. Thus man's influence upon such or from such is because - as there are the cycles of influence, in the activity through the relationships of what ye call planetary forces or the vibrations about the earth - there are periods when the influence is felt because of the very activity of the entity in that environment, or action, or force.
12. Hence as we find, these become then as intuitive influences; or the higher force of the mental self with which the entity may find contact or be in relationship with by the deep meditative forces.
13. But the influences from the sojourns in a material or physical environment make for the emotions that arise.
14. These may at times be parallel or be in sympathy, dependent upon the activity or the choice made by the soul-entity through the will - that which makes each soul aware of its being at-one with the Creative Forces or God, or of directing for SELF in its activities.
15. As has been indicated, the entity here - as we find - has developed rather than retarded through its appearances in the earth; hence we find these vary - in their relationships to the development or appearances in the affairs of men in the earth.
16. Before this we find the entity was in the earth during that period now called King Alfred's reign in what is known as the English land, when there were those attempts by that ruler or director to make for the better relationships as for judgements by courts or by the choice of the twelve, or
1486-1 Page 3
by jury trials.
17. The entity then was in close associations with that experience, and one that acted in the capacity to induce - not by force of power but by the pointing out to the various groups, in the various associations of the land, in that experience - the betterment, the more unity, the more ACTION that might be had; than by or from imperial activity, or that as considered from a lording by the individual direction.
18. Then the name was Chatham, and in the experience the entity gained - for there were the abilities to make for those associations and those activities among the affairs of men for the meeting as individuals for comparison of wrongs or rights, or judgments by groups rather than the individual that might be swayed by personal interests.
19. These have become and remain in the present as a part innate of the entity's experiences, and in these as we find - through its abilities in its writing, in its counseling, in its making for its association or contacts with others in every walk of life, as has been indicated - is the field of service or activity; or that in which the entity may find not that merely gratifying but that which is a growth in grace, in knowledge, in understanding.
20. Before that, then, we find the entity was in the experience during that period when the Master walked in the earth, during those periods also when there were the turmoils and the strifes that arose among those sects that were as the political factors during that experience.
21. The entity was among those natives of the Grecian land that made for activities through the Roman rule in those portions about the capitals or the larger cities of the provinces of the Palestine land.
22. During that particular experience the entity, as Philos, was active in inducing those POLITICAL lands to accept a single standard, especially as related to the calendar, the judgment of time and activities.
23. For there had been through the Jewish peoples the reckoning of time from the exodus, while through the Romans it had been counted from the establishing of Roman rule and power. Thus in each generation there had been many varied experiences in the rulers to have time reckoned by, or from, some definite activity of the ruler - as of themselves or those just preceding them in rule or generations.
24. Hence the entity joined with the Romans in sympathy with the reckoning from the Christian era.
25. Hence the entity had much to do in aiding those in the church, first in those about the Essene associations in
1486-1 Page 4
Carmel, where such data began to be set - as from the birth. Hence A.D. and B.C. were begun as a part of the activity of the entity during those experiences.
26. And as we find there may be an activity of the entity in the present from those experiences, of judging not only as to relationships of groups or classes or masses but as to special character of data as related to the cycle of experiences as to the rise and fall not only of countries but of nations - and the activities as relate one to another.
27. Before that we find the entity was in the Atlantean land, during those periods when there was the knowledge - through the teachers or leaders in the Law of One - as related to the destruction of the Atlantean or Poseidon land.
28. And the entity was among those who journeyed from Atlantis or Poseidia itself, first to the Pyrenees or Portugese land and later into what would be called in the present the Egyptian land - during those periods after the recall of Ra-Ta, when he with Saneid and the activities from the land of On and Oz and those from what is now known as the Gobi land attempted to make for a unification of the knowledge.
29. Hence we find the entity then, Ax-Ten-tna, as would be said in the present, was the first to set the records that are yet to be discovered, or yet to be had of those activities in the Atlantean land, and for the preservation of the data, that as yet to be found from the chambers of the way between the sphinx and the pyramid of records.
30. Hence is it a wonder in the present that the entity is in this experience under the symbol and the sign of both the sphinx and the pyramid, when there is to be given a new awakening in many portions of the earth?
31. The activities of the entity then had much to do not only with the historic reaction but the developments for individual activities of groups, as the classifications came, were the ORDER of the entity as related to the King, as related to the Priest, and those that were sent or came as emissaries or teachers or representatives of those tenets that were gathered during that experience in the Egyptian land.
32. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
33. WHO is to set a limit upon that as may be accomplished by the entity in the hearts and minds of men - EVERYWHERE - through keeping attune or in accord with the knowledge of the spirit within that moves upon the influences from within
1486-1 Page 5
as well as from without, to bring to pass the GREATER knowledge of the associations of Creative Forces in the lives and experiences of men - and how and why man must exemplify same in his relationships to his fellow man?
34. THESE, as we find, have been, still are, the labors of the entity.
35. Be true. Keep the faith thou hast set before thyself, thy brethren; yea, thy Creator.
36. Ready for questions.
37. (Q) Did I have personal contact with Jesus, the Master? (A) Personal contact, especially as Jesus the Child taught or reasoned with the rulers in the temple. Later when there were those activities as a teacher, and the entity then - associated with the Roman as well as the Jewish leaders - taught or heard taught those things the Master gave just before the period of Crucifixion. Hence these two definite periods have been and are a portion of the entity's INNER consciousness.
38. (Q) Was I among the "Faithisto" of Jesus during his incarnation in the earth? (A) Among those that watched rather on that period when from the mount He took the ways towards the heavenly hosts.
39. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
