1. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '38 - changes for environs - ' 36 - '25 - expansions - " etc., on back to birth date. Then: "Something about the name is changed.")
2. We are given the records here of that entity now known as or called [2822].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records - this we find a very unusual personality; one that will find many fields of activity opening for the entity, and the necessity of choice by the entity of that which is in keeping with the entity's desires or purposes.
4. The entity not only is a Uranian but an Atlantean as well. Hence, because of those activities of the entity through the experiences in the earth, there will be the needs for the full or complete soul development - for which we would give those helpful influences; that such information may be a helpful experience, enabling the entity to better fulfill those purposes for which it entered this sojourn.
5. We find that abilities are present in most any field of service the entity would choose, whether as a statistician, datastician, or as one in command or one managing those forces in any field having to do with the mental and spiritual lives of individuals.
6. Hence there must be first, as we find, the balancing of self as to its ideals and purposes in the material plane.
7. As a leader or director in any organized work or fields of activity the entity would find the channels of activity, yet these should never be so organized, or so centralized, as not to be of a universal service to groups and individuals.
8. We find that the astrological aspects have little to do with the present developments. For, the entity oft even
2822-1 Page 2
against the astrological aspects - has chosen activities and has at times met and felt and overcome combative influences among its own organization and own groups. And yet by the very personality of the entity these have been met in most instances.
9. Hence we find, while there are those astrological forces, the entity has directed rather than being directed by them, - Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus - these are the greater forces, then.
10. In Mercury we find the high mental abilities, while in Jupiter there should be the universal influence and when there has been the need for the control of groups directing the activities of the entity, it has been through the presenting of the universal influence rather than the purely local.
11. Uranus makes for the extremes - those periods of overoptimism and those periods of a great deal of pessimism. While these come and go, they should be founded in the spirit of truth in which there is no faltering. Then, when such experiences arise, know that the fault lies within self - if thy ideal is chosen correctly.
12. As to the appearances in the earth - these have been quite varied, and under extenuating circumstances.
13. Before this the entity was in the earth during those periods when there were those activities in the opening of the western lands.
14. The entity was among those groups that journeyed west to take up the open lands, in '49. Not so far did the entity go towards the west, or the extreme west, but in an area in Colorado and in portions of New Mexico and Arizona.
15. Then in the name Florence Callahan the entity was a prospector, one who used all the frontier activities as a means for material gains; yet carried also the necessity of group or the organized efforts on the part of groups to control influences. Hence something of a political figure did the entity become, as would be termed in the present; gaining in the material, opening to possibilities in the mental, and hoping for the spiritual expressions.
16. Hence in the present we find the attempts of the entity to unify all forms of associations - as social, mental and material activities among groups. Thus the entity's activities will be as a leader in any specific organized work - through these, in the present circumstance, the entity may find a channel of activity, where there is set or specified work - whether having to do with the unified service of home building, home overlooking, the preparations for the care of individuals or groups in the specified
2822-1 Page 3
areas, or any such. These may be the channels for the immediate. But the organized work is ever the channel through which the entity should express itself, rather than that of individual effort.
17. For, in directing and controlling others lies the forte of this entity.
18. Before that the entity was in the land now known as the Yucatan, when there were those activities as various groups were being organized by the upsetting of the earth's surface, as well as the various groups that had come from parts of other lands.
19. The entity then was the leader in a spiritual and a material activity, as founded upon not wholly an empire or that of a local nature, but the attempt of a unified work.
20. Then in the name Quenteroien, the entity gained. Some of the groups followed those lands as were set or established in parts of now southwestern New Mexico, where some of the Lost Tribes were established as a center; and others from the entity's own group withdrew to same. Eventually the entity abandoned same; though expecting to return, never did.
21. These brought periods of disturbance - but that area of the land, of what is now the southwest of the entity's present land of sojourn, has been and ever will be a source of interest for the entity; not only as to the activities of the peoples and their associations with certain groups or associations because of certain inborn activities, but of the lands themselves.
22. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were those expansions following the return of the Priest.
23. The entity was put in charge of those activities which had to do with the groups from Carpathia, or what is now Asia-Minor and portions of now Turkey; to which emissaries were sent for gathering data for the building up of the land. The entity was put in charge by those in authority, and eventually - with the changes wrought - set up her own group.
24. The name then was Ultzer.
25. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those activities that made for the choosing of the influences wrought between the sons of Belial and the children of the Law of One.
26. While the entity's activities were among the children of the Law of One, the entity was against same in those disturbances with the things or the activities or entities that were as servants of the peoples of that period. Thus
2822-1 Page 4
the entity was called a rebellious one among the children of the Law of One.
27. Yet the abilities as a leader, as a director, as an organizer, are innate in the entity's present experience - as has been oft indicated, and in same - as indicated from the astrological aspects - may be very successful materially, mentally and spiritually, or quite a failure.
28. Study, then, to show thyself approved unto a spiritual ideal - eternal - and walk in the ways thereof.
29. As ye would have others do, do yourself. Ask no one to do that ye would not attempt yourself.
30. Let the way of the Lord be ever before you. Show thyself approved unto Him, a workman not ashamed, rightly dividing the words of truth; keeping self unspotted from the world.
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) For what should I use my efforts, considering present world conditions and my own welfare? (A) As indicated, in any organized work - as a leader or director of same - may the entity find channels through which a greater service may be rendered to others, and for the building and unfoldment of self.
33. (Q) For what section of national endeavor am I best suited, to aid in war effort? (A) In whatever section that is chosen by the entity. As to country, to the Southwest. As to the efforts, or as to what phase of national defense or national preparation - in any of those channels where there is the organized effort or work.
34. (Q) What city offers the best location, in which I can vibrate best? (A) As indicated, in the Southwest.
35. (Q) What section of country is best for my physical health and mental equilibrium? (A) As just indicated.
36. (Q) Would you give me the names of the people with whom I could and would work best? (A) These should be worked out by entities themselves, not by these sources. But you can wrap most any group around yourself or your finger! Be careful what you do with them! For, when ye assume responsibilities, ye must meet and measure up to that which is expected of thee. Much is expected of those with much ability.
37. (Q) What are the future possibilities for me in my association at ... Lodge, ..., N. Mex.? (A) This may be carried to a complete understanding and development, if there is the spiritual stressed as well as
2822-1 Page 5
the physical.
38. (Q) For the next twelve months, what future can I look forward to, considering my various abilities mentioned, so I can be guided properly for my best service to God and man? (A) This depends upon the manner in which the application is made. It is not so much as to how much knowledge one has, or how much ability one has, but it is how well, how consistently it is applied in constructive associations with individuals, groups, and for purposes and ideal. Study to show thyself approved unto thy ideal. Who is thy ideal? Who is the author of thy faith? Know these deep within self. Then live like that, act like that!
