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, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: (In going back over the years from present - " - '18, yes - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1978].
4. Not only is this entity one of those from the Atlantean sojourn but a Uranian combined with same; also one that in eighteen ('18) had that experience which set the innate self against others.
5. Hence in giving the interpretations of the records for this body, and in giving that as would be the more helpful in the entity fulfilling or becoming that which is the purpose for the entrance of each soul into a material experience, this must be taken into consideration.
6. And there should be applied, in a psychological manner, that which would aid the inner self in putting aside this determination to "get even" with others; as well as that feeling of the needs of the expression to show the power of the personality.
7. This as we find would be best accomplished by subjugating the physical consciousness and using the inner or soul consciousness to describe conditions that are to be eliminated from the consciousness; by hypnosis.
8. In giving the interpretation, then:
9. As has been indicated, then, there came the experience
1978-1 Page 2
which has altered the personal experiences of the entity in this particular period - and the rest would only become as more helpful when there is the removing of this suppression, and obsession; and then the seeking for the great spiritual enlightenment as may become a part of the entity's experience.
10. One that is a Uranian, that is influenced for the extremes, is necessarily supersensitive - in the fingers as well as in every form of mental development.
11. Thus the entity may become a power, an overlord in any field of endeavor - if it is guided in the better spiritual understanding.
12. The Uranian experience with the Atlantean indicates something that would have to do with mechanical appliances, especially of an electrical nature, would become the fields of endeavor through which the entity might accomplish in this material plane those activities that would become the physical, the mental, the spiritual saving grace for the entity.
13. Thus we would indicate, first - have those experiences through which there may be removed that determined expression set, that has made the body soul-sick, that has set it as against others.
14. And then study the greater spiritual values. Know the ideals of that which has been the faith of the fathers. From those experiences the entity may be aroused to that activity in which there may be a reclaiming of purpose, and the determination within self even as the prodigal, "I will arise and go to the Father, God."
15. For through that grace and mercy and peace and harmony will come, from such determinations - by the removal of those obsessions, those oppressions, and those activities in which those inner influences may be aroused, that may be the determining forces by subjugating the physical consciousness.
16. Then may there come the greater awakening.
17. And in those fields of endeavor as indicated, activities may come in which there may be the outlet for the greater abilities of the entity - as a part of this experience.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What should be the nature of the hypnosis? (A) True hypnosis, there is only one. Subjugating of the physical consciousness for the interpreting of the obsession.
20. (Q) What particular type of work should the entity take up? (A) As indicated, anything of mechanical nature that has to do especially with electrical forces.
