1. HLC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '36 - changes in thought and activities - '29 - withdrawal - '27 - '19 - yes, a change - '07 - new obligations - '01 - a change - '79 - an illness - '78 - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes - we are given the records of that entity now known as or called [1662].
4. The seal of life of the entity is rather unusual, for it bespeaks of green - and those emblems that may mean much or little to the entity. In its form it is unusual, bespeaking of those things that might be gathered from heraldry - or activities.
5. For, the entity finds it necessary to keep active in mind and in the things thought and done, else it finds itself disturbed.
6. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, much is indicated in a varied form or manner that may be given. But these we choose from the records here, with the desire and hope that these experiences may become a helpful influence for the entity; enabling it to fulfill those purposes and desires which prompted the entrance into the material plane at this period.
7. For, each soul enters with a mission.
8. Then know that, as He has entrusted to mankind that of
1662-2 Page 2
salvation through the hope and trust in Him, it behooves each individual - as the body so oft finds - to be up and doing that which the hands find to do.
9. For, indeed, as it has been expressed, idle hands may oft become evil influences to others.
10. In interpreting the urges latent and manifested, these - from the akashic records here - are indicated from two direct manners; those from the astrological sojourns and those from the earthly sojourns.
11. The experiences of the entity in the environ of the astrological aspects (so-called) find expression in the longings and in the visions of the entity; for indeed the guardian angel is ever before the throne of grace for each and every soul - not by name, lest it be limited, but by purpose of the individual self AS it has applied and does apply that concept, that ideal which is chosen through each activity of the entity.
12. For THIS entity the expression in the dreams, or from the astrological urges, is oft close in accord with the entity's purposes; for the entity takes counsel with its better self. This may not be spoken of too highly. For it should be not only the duty but the privilege of every soul to do this.
13. In thy own body as the temple He has promised to meet thee. Keep that holy. As ye keep that holy, so ye keep in attune with that which is the highest purpose in a material manifestation.
14. We find in Venus the greater urge; though others may term the entity oft hard-headed, hard to get along with - because of convictions within self. These may be both good and bad, dependent upon the manner the urge is used. For, while it gives the appreciation of the beautiful in all its phases and manifestations, indeed any soul, any individual may count self fortunate to have the love, the friendship of THIS entity; BECAUSE of that appreciation of love, of friendship, that has been and may be manifested by the entity in this experience.
15. This also, in material manifestation, makes for that influence or characteristic in which others would call the entity a good business person or body; capable of vision, of seeing, of understanding the outcome of that thought or activity in others, whether pertaining to purely material things or that as would have to do with political, economic, or even marital relations. The entity withholds judgments at times. It would be well to give expression to same. Not in the manner as to become dictatorial, as is indicated at times in some yet that ability of analysis is the greater
1662-2 Page 3
virtue of the entity in this experience.
16. Hold fast to same. Temper it with mercy, in justice. Through those activities aid those who falter and stumble; and greater indeed may be the abilities to apply the healing influences that arise from the very appreciation - that brings such high vibrations at times to the experience of the body, in applying healing forces to others.
17. In Uranus we find the extremes; while also the great interest as may be latent or manifested in occult and in spiritual things. These also bring the sudden changes in the thoughts and judgments, at times.
18. These in the present experience need to be tempered with mercy, which as we have indicated exists through the Venus force in the experience.
19. Also from those activities in Neptune we find that those things pertaining to water - or the elements - are an influence, or a part of the latent or manifested experience of the entity.
20. Then as for material gains - investments in things pertaining to same may be considered by the entity as those that should have due consideration given to them; or as pertaining to air, as well as earth. Earth, air, water, - NOT fire.
21. As to the sojourns of the entity in the earth, these we find many. While all may not be indicated here at once, these are chosen as those that are found to be the greater influence in the PRESENT cycle of the entity's experience in the earth; in the same manner as judgments arise from a study of an individual subject. When in Rome one does as the Romans! When in the activities that consist of judgments arising from spiritual imports, one has the opportunity to express in those directions.
22. Each appearance in the earth, then, leaves its activities in the urges that find expression in the emotions; sensing by sight, by feeling, by the innate knowledge of sleep or vision by the five senses of the body as they give expression.
23. Yet, as we have indicated, those as relate to love are the urges that find expression in abilities latent and manifested in the experience of this entity.
24. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods of the early settlings in and about what is now Philadelphia; in the activities with Penn and those relationships there.
25. The entity was one entrusted with the care of moneys that were contributed by the brotherhood, of their own free will. These were administered in the activities that arose,
1662-2 Page 4
as in the first church in Jerusalem.
26. Hence we find the present abilities of the entity in finance, or in things pertaining to cooperative activities as related to things or conditions; lands, houses and such. These are as a latent and manifested influence for the entity.
27. Trust organizations, group activities in which there is the concerted and coordinant activity of the many, all find physical expression innately and manifestedly in the experience of the entity.
28. In that experience, as Stephanus Pennington, the entity proved himself as one worthy of being trusted with much of others' love and confidence. Hence the entity gained. And with that companion that is the companion today, the entity contributed to the welfare of the young and those that were in need in physical and mental ways or manners.
29. Hence that ideal as was first established there, in that land of brotherly love, and in the care, has grown to be a portion of man's better self throughout the land; so that in most organizations there is ever that clause as to the care and attention to be given to those of the young.
30. These have brought cares to the entity, to be sure; but contentment in knowing that self and self's abilities had been used in such a manner as to bring hope to those discouraged, confidence to those who had been disappointed in the material things.
31. Before that the entity was in the Roman land, when there were those expressions of activity in which many other lands were being overrun (according to some) and were becoming as contributing influences to that empire (according to others).
32. The entity was among those individuals sent to judge as to the abilities of the peoples to become contributors to the welfare of the empire.
33. Most historians have ignored that portion of the early Roman empire; that there were not those levies of tax without first considering and judging as to the capabilities and abilities of those who came under that rule.
34. This ideal, with others, was presented by the entity in those early expressions; and it was not changed until the desire for self-indulgence and self-gratification on the part of others became such as to undermine that great rule which was set in motion by the entity then - in the name Argulla.
35. Through the main portion the entity was the judge through Macedonia, through portions of Egypt and Alexandria, and in parts of Spain. Those were the greater activities.
1662-2 Page 5
36. Thus those latent abilities in the present entity, as we have indicated, to judge individuals' abilities to cope with their own problems, as well as to vision what would be the material as well as the mental and spiritual outcome of such activities by groups.
37. Before that the entity was in the promised land, when there were those edicts given by the Persian kings for the return of those children of promise; that they might themselves establish their OWN worship according to their own ideals.
38. The entity was an armor bearer to the king; and eventually was sent as one to assist in seeing that those edicts were carried out, and that protection was given to those who labored in a cause.
39. Thus the entity came into the promised land with Nehemiah, with Ezra, Zerubbabel, and those who labored in those periods of activity. From there the entity reported back and forth. There the entity kept the activities in such measures that from one king to another there were the various edicts given that aided those peoples to again establish a place of worship.
40. The entity gained and the entity lost through those periods of activity. Hate arose because of the attempts within some of those to turn the activities into self's own interest; until those periods when there was the establishing of that necessary for the rebuilding of the wall, in which there were the edicts by the entity that the weapons of defense be kept at hand, as well as the implements with which to repair the wall.
41. In the present we find that walls, divisions, lines, and all such, in every phase, have been and are a part of the entity's physical experience; and they may be used as helpful forces or as questions that become stumblingstones.
42. Choose rather in the manner as ye did in those activities of the healing nature, in the sojourn just previous; knowing that there must be coordination of purpose in body, in mind, in soul - and the ideal one.
43. Before that the entity was in the Persian and Arabian land, being a younger brother of the leader Uhjltd. In the first there arose differences, owing to the union of the tribes of different faith, by the educating of Uhjltd to be the leader to unite the factions in the land.
44. Yet when there were those establishings of the 'city in the hills and the plains' that became the center for the east-west caravans, and the healings that became a part of that activity to all, the entity gained under the suggestions and the guidance of the leader Uhjltd in the
1662-2 Page 6
abilities for healing by the laying on of hands, as well as for administering what would be termed today mechanotherapy, as well as nature's remedies as applied to bodily ills.
45. The entity was not what would be called a physician, yet one who judged as to the needs of those who came under the eye or direction of the entity through that experience; not only from the physical but from the mental and spiritual attributes.
46. The actualities, or history that brought about the change in the entity in that experience might be of interest; yet the change wrought that brought the abilities in the present becomes the more worthy of note here.
47. For, that which is of the Creative Forces lives on - and becomes expressive in the emotions of the mental and physical self, wherever there is the manifestation of the ideals that prompt same. And it is in such ideals that the face of that done to thy fellow man stands as the memorial, or as the expression before the throne of grace - in the same manner as He who is the way, the truth and the light expressed, through meeting in the flesh those things that became stumblingstones in dealing with his fellow man. Thus He became the Way.
48. So, in turning to the thought of manifesting the ideals within self, the entity finds strength and power materially manifested, that comes from attunement to spiritual hope, spiritual desire. And this is the greater experience of the entity through the material sojourns.
49. The name then was Uhjenda.
50. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were those periods of turmoil and strife, when there had been the establishing of the Young King as one to match abilities with the Prince of the Egyptian people.
51. This entity was that other one of the councillors to the Young King, who - during the periods when the Priest was to be banished because of the activities - sought to influence the Young King to withstand the judgments of the other councillors; indicating the sources of much of that which had been brought about. Yet the advice was not accepted.
52. Later, when there became the necessity for the recall of the Priest, the entity then counseled again with the Young King, as to make the Priest in that position to meet ALL of those emergencies that were arising from rebellions within as well as activities arising as emergencies from the Atlanteans entering the land.
53. With those experiences and activities when the Priest was regenerated, the entity brought the better counsels for that activity in which healings were brought to the various
1662-2 Page 7
groups; by the indication of how that each group, each faction had its place to fill and its duty to perform in the united efforts of that people through the experience, to become the directing forces for many of those groups of other lands that attempted to collaborate through that period.
54. In the present from that sojourn the entity finds the needs for its collaboration in varied groups where counsels are held, and where there are the needs that there be kept ever that purpose as prompted the entity then - as fairness and justice and mercy and patience with those having the varied abilities to "carry on" in whatever might be the purpose of the individual group.
55. The name then was Est-Ero-Ar-Ar.
56. As to the abilities of the entity in the present - WHO may tell those the direction to take who have set their point, their purpose? Rather may they not follow where the directions go?
57. Study, then, to know first thy own ideal - its author, as well as its ultimate end - in man. For, to be sure it must be creative, to live on and on. For good alone lives on. Evil perisheth with the day. Good is of God, and thus is eternal.
58. Use thy abilities - in every way - to heal those conditions, those disturbances in those relations with groups or individuals; whether in body or in purse, in mind or in spirit. For thy way is set. Keep thou the faith, - for this alone brings the joyous cry, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant - enter into the joys of thy Lord."
