Time of Reading 3:25 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Va.
1. GC: You will have before you the entity [2072], nee [2072] born March 25, 1910, in Attica, Indiana; who seeks a continuation of her Check Life Reading [2072-1] with information, advice and guidance, and more detail as to certain past incarnations. You will answer the questions submitted by the entity, as I ask them, concerning past associations and their influence in the present, and certain symbols of her aura chart [2072-7]:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2072]; and the information which has been indicated through these channels as an interpretation of the urges latent and manifested, as well as the experiences of the entity through varied sojourns.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Going back to the Atlantean incarnation - what was the Tuaoi stone? Of what shape or form was it? (A) It was in the form of a six-sided figure, in which the light appeared as the means of communication between infinity and the finite; or the means whereby there were the communications with those forces from the outside. Later this came to mean that from which the energies radiated, as of the center from which there were the radial activities guiding the various forms of transition or travel through those periods of activity of the Atlanteans. It was set as a crystal, though in quite a different form from that used there. Do not confuse these two, then, for there were many generations of difference. It was in those periods when there was the directing of aeroplanes, or means of travel; though these in that time would travel in the air, or on the water, or under the water, just the same. Yet the force from which these were directed was in this central power station, or Tuaoi stone; which was as the beam upon which it acted.

In the beginning it was the source from which there was the spiritual and mental contact. Understand, these are the following of laws - if there would be the understanding or comprehension of these. For, as has been given, the basis, the beginning of law carries all the way through. And that which comes or begins first is conceived in spirit, grows in the mental, manifests in the material; as was this central force in the Atlantean experience. First it was the means and source or manner by which the powers that be made the centralization for making known to the children of men, and children of God, the directing forces or powers. Man eventually turned this into that channel for destructive forces - and it is growing towards this in the present.
5. (Q) In the Egyptian incarnation - what was the name and the work or service of the entity, after the purification in the temple? (A) As indicated, the entity was the last of those companions of the Priest in that experience; thus aiding in the activities in which there was the distributing or the interpreting of those teachings as related to the spiritual, mental and material developments through that period.
6. (Q) What was the name? (A) As has been indicated.
7. (Q) Is the mark of Ra-Ta the most expedient point through which an individual entity may attune itself with the spiritual or psychic or Creative Forces? (A) As we have indicated, it would be well for the entity to understand what the mark of Ra-Ta symbolized. As was the teaching or the concept of that entity Ra-Ta, the individual - or the individual personality of an entity - remained in activity. This was to be as an awakening to each individual entity, as to their united effort in that particular experience. As to the nature, the type of mark - this indicated the manner the channel in which the entity would become aware of that union or united effort, or of being a member of that group - as of a sign or a symbol to any great body as of a united effort on the part of a group of individuals. Thus to those individuals who find their relationship and become aware of same in the present experience, this naturally becomes that channel through which the greater awakening may come to those individuals.
2072-10 Page 3
To be sure, this is a continuation of the holding to the idea or ideal of an individual entity. This is not to be confused with that which is the perfect understanding of the law of the Lord. For, Ra-Ta was not a lord, not a god, but a teacher, an instructor, an interpreter; and an individual entity that would still hold to an ideal, or an idea of an ideal. And, as has been indicated to this entity, this is and should be considered as being true respecting ANY teacher, any interpreter - save Him who IS the way, the truth and the light. While each teacher is in a manner a director, the individual entity may only be a means - NOT a way of life, see?
8. (Q) What was the association or relationship with Uhjltd during the Persian incarnation? (A) As indicated, there was the association as an aid or help, or instructor, in the application of those tenets or truths to the individuals or groups that were a part of the experience of each entity through that period of activity.
9. (Q) May I be given anything further of the Palestine incarnation at this time? (A) Much might be given. Best - and the greater interpretation - is to seek same in self. For, again, the law is implied and is active. As the entity came directly in contact with that power, that influence, that force that fadeth and faileth not, so those promises as made by Him are applicable in the experience today. Thus, as has been implied to the entity, make first thine own that truth set forth by a great teacher, in Deuteronomy 30; and then that which is the pathway to light, to life, to God, to the Christ-Consciousness, that is indicated in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John. There one comes in the closer association with those promises that are to the individual, and the answering is within - as the reflection of the face in the water, to the reflection of self in the mirror. These answer as one to another. And from that which has been indicated may be builded an outline, yea a concept of the material experiences of the entity throughout the sojourn. For, as the saw goes: Don't tell us what you used to be when things went all your way, but what are you doing today that the Savior may stay with thee and with thy concept of the application of His tenets in the lives of those with whom ye come in contact day by day. For, as ye do it, as ye treat, as ye think of each individual with whom ye come in contact along life's way, that entity - be it one physically
2072-10 Page 4
attractive or one that casts off influences that are repulsive - is an OPPORTUNITY for YOU, as an individual, to glorify God, and to be aware of the Christ-Consciousness enabling you to meet every problem. As He gave, fears and doubts and disappointments are a part of the price one pays for the opportunity to see life - or the experience of that man terms life - manifested in individual lives in a material plane. Thus, as ye analyze those activities in this particular land, make those tenets thine own that are witness bearers for God's relationship to man - first through the lawgiver, then through the only, the first begotten son of the Father. And in that consciousness ye may become more and more aware of that which is the helpful force in thine own experience. For, as it has been so oft given, with what spirit, with what purpose ye choose in thy activities in thy daily relationships, that is the power ye have in thine own experience to become not only aware of individual activities, individual relationships, but there may come in same that peace - if ye would have peace in this material experience.
10. (Q) Please give symbols that would signify the French incarnation in the manner as for an aura chart. (A) As has been indicated in the astrological aspect, - that TO the left, or going toward the left, you see, indicates the purpose or determination with which there was the entrance into the earthly experience, and with the symbols about same of the manner in which the application was made. That UPON the left indicates the manner, purpose or hope with which the life experience was directed, and the symbols about that indicate the manner in which such was accomplished.
11. (Q) Where and when have I known the following entities, what was the nature of the experience and association: First, J. William Lloyd (Father Eneres or Solotelo)? (A) These are one and the same. The experience in this particular sojourn has been as of meeting and comprehending, as of a friend or teacher; known in Egypt as well as in Persia and in Palestine. In each experience the relationships were different or varied, from the physical angle. From the mental and spiritual, a growth together. Thus the recognition in the present of, and awakening to, the forces or the powers latent within.
2072-10 Page 5
But in the judgment of these, temper them with that which has been indicated above as respecting ANY teacher. As to the physical relationships, friends and foes in varied experiences; but the teachings, the spiritual and mental, in the same directions.
12. (Q) Was he any famous or well-known entity in a past incarnation? (A) What entity is NOT famous! What entity is NOT well known in the end! As to being worldly famous - no more than in the present; as a teacher, a helper to those along life's seeking way.
13. (Q) My brother, [...]? (A) In the Atlantean experience, as we find; and these were sometimes good, sometimes bad. For, as the entity then was able to use or apply those tenets or truths from the spiritual supply, so did the entity who is now the brother confuse in the application of the same thing, made into what was called mechanical means, or materialized power of a universal nature used in material ways for destructive forces, as well as for material benefits or pleasures.
14. (Q) My mother-in-law, [...]? (A) In the Palestine experience we find ye were as helpers; sisters in spirit, in purpose, in the flesh.
15. (Q) Del [...]? (A) We don't find the associations in experiences other than this.
16. (Q) [...]? [2441]? (A) In those experiences that may be drawn as the parallels. Here we find there were those acquaintances; cross purposes at times, but oft in unison in the activities in Egypt, as well as in Atlantis and in Palestine.
17. (Q) Thelma [...]? (A) As the entity is a teacher an instructor to the entity, in the present, so was it a teacher and an instructor to that entity - especially in the Egyptian experience.
18. (Q) Alice [...]? (A) These have been rather in the same type of association; knowing of, acquainted with, directed by much of that as expounded or propounded, rather than a physical contact in any of the other experiences.
19. (Q) Harry [...]? (A) Not so good; we haven't these connections.
20. (Q) Samuel [...]? (A) This should be drawn as parallels, if it would be correctly interpreted. For as we find, there have been connections, but more of a mental, and at times physical in concepts - in Palestine and in Egypt.
2072-10 Page 6
21. (Q) In which incarnation was I the mother of my present husband [1861]? (A) As may be indicated by the paralleling of the readings for each. These as we find indicate what the relationships were in each of the appearances in the earth. As daughter and father, as husband and wife, as mother and son. These have been the experiences in the activities of these entities in the earth.
22. (Q) What talents have I which might be developed to value and service? (A) Not only as the home builder but as an instructor, as a helpmeet, as an aid to those who have lost their full concept of their relationships to God - through their relationship to man. Thus, this wholly understood by the entity, may be not only practised in the daily life but enable the entity to become a helper to those the entity may meet day by day. It is not those that do some great deed who are great before the Lord. And whom seek ye to bless? Thine own ego, thy fellow man, or thy God? Man looketh on the outward appearance, and most of the ideas for the making for success are based upon either the answering to the lusts of the eye or to the lusts of the flesh. Yet the Lord's judgment is upon they that seek after the spirit, who are indeed true, sincere seekers after Him. And from these He will withhold no good thing. Thus may the entity grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding. As the entity has been warned, seek not for knowledge alone. For, look - LOOK - what it brought Eve. Look rather for that wisdom which was eventually founded in she that was addressed as the handmaid of the Lord, and who "pondered those things in her heart," as to how and why Gabriel would speak with her. Would ye not seek that thy Master again speak with thee, as He did in those experiences in the earth? These are worth seeking for. Search and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened unto you. For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.
23. (Q) What is my stone? (A) Lapis lazuli.
24. (Q) What is the note of the musical scale to which I vibrate? (A) As we have indicated, Ah - This is not R, but Ah - aum [A U M], see? These are the sounds. Those that respond to the centers of the body, in opening the centers so that the kundaline forces arise to that activity through those portions of the body. Sound these, and ye will find them in thyself. They are the manners or ways of seeking.
2072-10 Page 7
For as ye have understood, if ye have read Him and His conversation with His friends, His disciples as respecting John - John was a great entity, none greater. And yet the least in the kingdom of heaven was greater than he. What meaneth this manner of speech? They that have wisdom are great, they that have understanding as to the manner to APPLY same for the good of self AND others - not for self at the expense of others, but for others - are in the awareness of the kingdom. Thus, as to the note of thy body - is there always the response to just one? Yes. As we have indicated oft, for this entity as well as others, there are certain notes to which there is a response, but is it always the same? No more than thy moods or thy tendencies, UNLESS ye have arisen to the understanding of perfect attunement. When a violin or an instrument is attuned to harmony, is it out of tune when struck by the same motion, the same activity? Does it bring forth the same sound? So with thy body, thy mind, thy soul. It is dependent upon the tuning - whether with the infinite or with self, or with worldly wisdom. For these, to be sure, become the mysteries of life to some - the mysteries of attuning. What seek ye? Him, self, or what? He is within and beareth witness. The tone, then - find it in thyself, if ye would be enlightened. To give the tune or tone as Do, Ah - aum - would mean little; unless there is the comprehending, the understanding of that to which ye are attempting to attune, - in the spiritual, the mental, the material. There IS music in jazz, but is there perfect harmony in same? There IS harmony in a symphony, as in the voices as attuned to the infinite - a spirit and a body poured out in aid or the search for the soul. There is no greater than that as may be expressed in that of, "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!"
2072-10 Page 8
To what is this attuned? What IS the note there? That as of the realization of the lack of training the mind of the son in the way of the Lord, rather than in the knowledge of controlling individuals. This, then, is indeed the way of harmony, the way of the pitch, the way of the tone. It is best sounded by what it arouses in thee - where, when, and under what circumstance.
