1. GC: 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 that may be asked:
2. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '39 - what a tanglement - '38 - '35 - '33 - good - '30 -" etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2539].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, these are chosen with the desire and purpose that this be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfill that purpose for which it entered this experience.
5. For, each entity should know that it is not by chance alone, but purposefully and mercifully, that a soul enters.
6. While there are many urges latent and manifested, both astrologically and environmentally - from those latent activities in the material plane, know that none of these surpass the WILL of the entity.
7. And the choice the entity makes is by the use of those intuitions and influences which the entity cultivates within self. Thus we would give that the entity - in its analysis of others as well as of self - minimize the faults, ever, and magnify the virtues.
8. The entity oft finds self confused. This is a characteristic, as we shall see, from the urges latent and manifested.
9. Hence the needs for the entity to manifest more and more that it chooses as its way or manner of association or
2539-2 Page 2
affiliation.
10. Oft the entity finds its friends or friendships as a very fickle thing. These become as disturbing forces to the entity. This is a latent influence, and the expressions as given by the entity to others.
11. Then do not judge others harshly, that ye may not be thyself harshly judged. For, remember that the latent and manifested law is that what ye sow ye reap. If ye would have friends, show thyself friendly. These are not merely material but are spiritual laws, that go deeper.
12. The entity is oft confused and influenced by impressions, vibrations, those conditions through which the entity may pass; a feeling or shudder, being afraid of the dark at times, afraid of impeding forces for which the entity cannot give any definite reason.
13. Thus the intuitions are well, provided those are tempered in spirituality - not ism.
14. For, as these vibrations come about the entity, know that if ye surround yourself with the creative forces or vibrations that are the way, the truth and the light, then ONLY good may come; and those things of dire natures, or demoniacal forces in any form will not be a part of thy experience.
15. From the astrological sojourns, in environs other than in the earth, we find certain tendencies or influences that have been classified as astrological urges. We find Venus, Jupiter and Uranus the greater influence, as well as the Moon and the Sun.
16. Thus the entity ENJOYS the beautiful, yet is inclined to be very, VERY demonstrative at times. One may call self very lucky to have the real friendship or love of the entity, and yet one might feel self very far afield from such - because the entity requires of others all and more than it would express in itself in affection, in love - of the material as well as mental and spiritual nature.
17. Hence all the more reason that the entity should analyze self, as indicated.
18. From Jupiter we find those things of a universal nature. Thus we will see, from the astrological as well as material sojourns, the entity may apply itself to make a success in most any direction. Yet in that as would pertain to making costumes, designing dresses or hats or wearing apparel, the entity would find the channels through which it might have the greater outlet for the abilities.
19. However, by application, the entity can make itself felt in any field it chooses for activity; especially if it requires the artistic temperament, dealing with things,
2539-2 Page 3
facts and figures - and figures in more than one direction! numerically as well as statuarily.
20. As to the appearances - these are far afield, as might be indicted from the very unusual temperaments.
21. For, we find that before this the entity was active in the Roman period when there was the induction of the Grecian activities as to dress, as to pace and as to skill.
22. Then entity was a part of that period of development, being one of those advanced or taking definite stands among those seeking for new developments.
23. Hence the latent abilities which the entity manifests so very nicely in its own dress and manner and mien - to take little or nothing and yet appear in the most unique and better form; always petite and yet tending towards those activities as indicted by the physical forces of repression.
24. The entity gained throughout that experience, though it was not easy for the entity to make friendships.
25. Thus the entity finds itself lonely and far afield at times from others; feeling as if not understood, and at other times not caring whether it is or not - if the entity can but have its own way!
26. These may be well and then may be bad, depending upon whether the choice of such expression is for the best for all concerned.
27. In that experience the entity was known as Isacalas.
28. Before that the entity was in the Persian and Arabian land, when there were those activities in the 'city in the hills,' when there were those exchanges between the various lands - as that city grew to be a commercial center; and then the injection of the activities from the Grecian land.
29. The entity was among the natives of the Persian land, but adopted the first principles of the groups from the Grecian land - thus bringing to itself misunderstandings materially, and those inductions of mental confusion. For, remember, mind is ever the builder in the material expression and in those consciousnesses during other realms of activity.
30. Thus the entity brought to itself turmoils and strifes, periods of advancement and then periods of mental and physical depression. Eventually, with the adopting of the activities of the offspring of the leader in 'the city in the hills and the plains,' there came closer relationships - when there had been cut off the Grecian activity by those influences brought to bear in the latter part of the experience there.
31. Then name then was Elsmaezeretendetoer. The entity gained, lost, gained.
2539-2 Page 4
32. Hence in the present we find the abilities to aid others in their activity towards costumes, dress, and such things; in which the entity may fine the outlet for the better expression and for material gains in this experience; also the ability to analyze self through such associations or activities.
33. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods of the reconstruction.
34. There the entity was associated with those in the Temple of Sacrifice and the Temple Beautiful; being active in the keeping of the records and in the keeping of those activities in routine order.
35. Hence the niceness about the entity, at times the tenderness and the ability to comprehend suffering in others, then at times apparently disregarding what others might feel.
36. The entity then was active in bringing much help to others, by attempting to understand their approach, their environs, their background, although of entirely different conditions or circumstance.
37. So may the entity in the present find - by the study of self - the greater ability to understand others.
38. Then the entity gained - in the name Ab-Dab.
39. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then:
40. The entity might find the means for greater expression in those fields of constructive nature, especially towards things pertaining to raiment or activities requiring detail.
41. But first analyze self. Know thy ideal - spiritually, mentally, materially. And know that ye grow in grace, in knowledge, in material understanding, AS ye apply those tenets, those truths that are as laws. And law is love.
42. Apply self, then - and study to show thyself approved unto thy ideal. Condemn no one, nor thyself. Keep self unspotted from those things ye question in others.
43. We are through for the present. Copy to self through Mother " " Ass'n file file
