Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you [2067], born January 6, 1887, in Boston, Mass., together with the Life Reading given this entity thru this channel December 22, 1939. You will give at this time a biographical account of the incarnation of the entity as Tehexutz in the Indo-China land, giving dates and full explanation of influences of urges from that experience on present life. You will answer the questions presented by the entity, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2067], and the information which has been given through these channels respecting sojourns of the entity in the material plane.
3. In giving that as we find respecting the activities of the entity in the land now known as Indo-China, those activities through that period must be taken into consideration. Something has been indicated as to periods in that particular land; yet these we find not coordinant with the experiences of this entity in the land during a particular period of development. For, this - as we find - came during a time when there were those activities especially of those from Mu and of what is now the Gobi land. And the influences which were exerted upon the activities of the individual entities through the period were weakened under those directions of the conflicting forces between those activities in the land; especially as related to what would be termed the trend of the religious forces of the groups of people to which the entity then lent itself, in its capacity as one in authority, and in the abilities to make or have their influence respected among the laymen - as would be called - of that particular period.
4. As the entity's activities saw the varied faults in the two particular forms of activity, from those two very definite periods of expression, there were the attempts to choose that which would be the better applicable in the experiences of the entity and the associates in their own
2067-4 Page 2
particular environment.
5. Thus we find that those forms were set up as individual places for the various groups of different cult, or activity, for their particular form of development.
6. The entity, through the experience in that land, attempted to lead its peoples to conform to that group activity; which brought later what might be called the beginning of the castes - as we would give - or that form of activity "run to seed" as it were; because the various activities of groups ran to the definite forms of relationships with other groups in a different line of material endeavor.
7. As to the entity's entrance - this was an activity of the peoples who were in authority, or of the ruling class. The association or activity in the experience was with a companion chosen from the Gobi land; yet - in that period of experience - the female ruled rather than the male.
8. Hence the entity's development, the entity's activities throughout the experience were more toward an advancement in the mental than in the purely spiritual; for the mental and material were the greater developments of the entity throughout that experience.
9. In the present those experiences bring the urges latent and manifested as to questions respecting the opposite sex, and their relationships to the training or development and activities - especially in relationships to groups of various natures.
10. These are latent or builded forces; as well as the activities throughout that experience.
11. Meet all such in the light of that ideal which is set in Him who is chosen as the way, the means, the manner.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What were the dates of the entity's birth and death? (A) Dependent upon what date we reckon from! If we reckon from that date held as the entrance of the Christian era, it would be 926 B.C.
14. (Q) Is "the city of the hills" where Angkor is now, and did I have anything to do with the building of the Angkor temples? Built what? (A) These are the OUTCOME; but are not of that particular period.
15. (Q) Did I as Tehexutz ever drive down the Elephant Terrace - if so, please tell about the experience? (A) As is understood, there are gradual growths that have been changed by many an individual through the periods of reign in that particular land. This was an experience of the entity upon an elephant in those periods when there were
2067-4 Page 3
the proclamations for the various oval or terraced buildings by groups; or temples, or portions of those INNER lands today. The entity at that period rode down what is now the elephant terrace or road.
16. (Q) Please describe the work I did as priestess in formulating the religion of that time. (A) As just indicated, all were formulated into groups; those that were of the laboring class, those that were as the readers or the educating class, those that were of the VARIOUS groups as miners and workers in various metals, and designers. And each group had its own particular form or manner of expressing that as coordinated under the direction of the entity, see?
17. (Q) Please describe the appearance and character of Tehexutz. (A) Five feet, eight inches in height; weight about a hundred and forty; round of face, small of nose, and color bright shining copper; hair dark. The character should be drawn from what the entity did. That's the character!
18. (Q) What were my special contributions to civilization as Tehexutz? (A) That activity as just indicated; the formulating of activities in which each group would have ITS OWN activity considered as equal to any of the others; though of different castes, as they eventually became; but not in that particular period, for all were as one.
19. (Q) Did I marry and have children in that incarnation? If so, who were they? (A) As indicated, the relationships were with those from the Gobi or the Sun land. There were children - these were a part of the activities throughout the experience.
20. (Q) A former Reading said my present daughter [...] was associated with me in the Indo-China incarnation. If convenient, please describe this association. (A) She was as a dresser, or adorner, of the body of the entity through that experience.
21. (Q) What was her name at that time? (A) Do you want it, or the rest of the record here?
22. (Q) Was my little daughter whom they on the other side call Marcella associated with me in Indo-China, and if so how and under what name? (A) A son in that experience, and one who afterward became a ruler.
23. (Q) In writing a book on that period, whom should I
2067-4 Page 4
include as the main characters? (A) This would be drawn from the activities as may be indicated or given as to the purposes, the endeavors. The main character, of course, would be self as the priestess; the variation between the religious tendencies from Mu and the Gobi or Sun land.
24. (Q) What should be the purpose of the book, and what its general atmosphere? (A) Evolution of the soul or mind toward spiritual developments.
25. (Q) What books do you recommend for reading on this period? (A) Any of those pertaining to that particular land, especially some of the earlier portions of what is now called China.
26. (Q) Can you guide me as to the main threads of the plot of my story, and the type of story it should be, and how told - as real or a dream or vision of the past? (A) That must be a choice of the entity. If it catches the vision and the meaning of same, then it may be a vision of the past. If it is just a story and the imagination of self, then it would be drawn from data or information as may be indicated from time to time.
27. (Q) What tie-up with present world conditions does this Indo-China incarnation have, and how can I make the story practical? (A) As indicated, the urges latent and manifested as to the manner in which the ENTITY feels towards the opposite sex; as well as the position of groups in their endeavors. And these should be easy to analyze from self's own opinion, if it will look at itself without any form or mannerism.
28. (Q) Japan seems to be going into Indo-China. Will it ever under those circumstances be possible for the "city of the hills" to be excavated, or can you tell me for my book the type of civilization that lies buried? (A) This would require, of course, a whole Reading within itself; for we have two very definite and DIFFERENT approaches. Which do you choose?
29. (Q) Much about the Gobi Desert is written by Baird Spaulding in his Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East. Is that reliable description and should I refer to it in my book, if I write some day on this Gobi incarnation, which I understand to be a different one from the Indo-China experience - am I right? (A) Different from the Indo-China; but not authentic.
30. (Q) In my various incarnations in which I taught that "The Lord thy God is One," how did I put across this idea in my teaching, and extend it into other countries - by missionaries or what?
2067-4 Page 5
(A) It has been indicated in this, as to how - though individuals were in the various forms of activity, one was just as necessary as the other - according to the ruler, or the force and power, or to the entity as it represented itself as being the authority. It isn't considered so today in many lands.
31. (Q) What were some of the most interesting things of the incarnation as Tehexutz that should be mentioned in the book? (A) As indicated, especially the pulling away from the teachings of Mu, and the taking of some portion of that as well as of that from the Gobi land; yet making them separate, distinct, see?
32. (Q) What sacred books did we use at that time, and what psychic powers did I possess? (A) Sacred books then, of course, were the writings from both of these - from the Temple of the Sun as well as from Mu. The activities of the entity in relationships to these, as just indicated, were to change these in their relationships as being applicable to the one force, one power, one rule for all; though under different conditions, environs and the like.
