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, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as [2890].
3. The seal or the symbol for this entity is most interesting: An hourglass, in the colors; and indicating about same opportunity (sand in the upper portion), and diligence - which would be implied in the lower portion.
4. This about the entity - that is, where it may view same occasionally - would produce a trend of mind that will be excellent for the unfoldments of the entity.
5. In the entity's studies, do consider well the history of the individual whom the entity would emulate; whose thoughts, from the material angle, the entity would study - Chester A. Arthur.
6. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them - these we would choose from same with the desire and purpose that this information be a helpful experience for this entity; enabling the entity to better fulfillthose purposes for which it entered this present sojourn; aiding those responsible for the entity to give those helpful influences in preparing the entity for same.
7. For, as indicated - if there is the accepting of the urges latent and manifested - the entity will fill a political or diplomatic career.
8. Thus in the preparations, political science and all those phases of activities will enable the entity to be better prepared for the filling of such, and should be the thoughts
2890-2 Page 2
of those who enable the entity to prepare for its life's endeavor and work.
9. Then in those periods when the entity assumes those responsibilities that will be the opportunities, and the application of same, there will be great needs for the answering of many of those problems that were a part of the experience of those in authority when the entity in its sojourn before this studied same so much.
10. As to the urges latent - we find these are manifested in the present not because of the position of the planets or stars at the period of birth, but from those impressions or consciousnesses of the entity during the interims between material sojourns, that may be indicated for the entity in this experience.
11. In Jupiter we find the great ennobling influences, the broad-mindedness, the ability to consider others, the universal consciousnesses that are a part of the entity's unfoldment.
12. We find in Venus that unusual attraction that the opposite sex will have for the entity, and the entity for the opposite sex. Hence those relationships in such should be the problems as well as the studies and the guidance through the periods especially in the next cycle - or during the next seven years for the entity.
13. In Mercury and in Mars we find the energetic activities of mind and of body, and at times that appearing expressive in the experience of others as related to the entity as a meddler. Yet these are the benevolent forces, if those activities, those consciousnesses of the entity are used and analyzed in that way of aiding the entity in its preparations through such experiences.
14. As to the earthly appearances - not all are given here, by any means. These are given merely to indicate the urges that especially will be manifested in the unfolding of the entity's activities during the next fourteen to twenty-one years of activity; when it will have reached then those periods when that which has been attained - or knowledge gained - will be given in activities to the greater benefits of state, of nation, and especially as to the coalition of nations - which will be a part of the entity's experience through this period of sojourn.
15. Before this the entity was in the earth during those periods of the office of Arthur; the entity being in the capacity as a helper, as an aid then expressed in a menial manner, but where there was the greater understanding of the real purposes for the entity that this entity would emulate; who would scarcely be called one unusual, yet to the entity
2890-2 Page 3
he was a very unusual personality.
16. Thus those ideals of that entity Arthur, politically and economically, the entity will still attempt to emulate through this experience.
17. The name then was Joel Crawford. While the entity was among those that would be called the unknown, its activities were such that there was an unfoldment, a development. And there may be in the present experiences the fulfilling of many of those ideals of that individual the entity would emulate.
18. Not that those activities are to be that of hero worship, but rather as founded in a spiritual purpose with the mental abilities in unison with the spiritual purposes and activities giving material expressions of those influences that will affect state and nation through the middle and latter portion of this entity's present sojourn.
19. Thus those studies as will pertain to political, economic and diplomatic relationships should be the preparations of the entity through this particular sojourn.
20. Before that the entity was in the Roman and Palestine land, during those periods of Augustus Caesar's rule.
21. The entity was among those set as judges, or those that were to pass upon the activities not only of the Romans in other lands but upon the application of the Roman rule in Palestine, as well as in the neighboring lands.
22. Thus the entity journeyed much. And those particular areas of North Africa, Palestine, Syria and Turkey, have a particular interest - as to history, as to geography, as to the religious as well as political influences that affect other lands.
23. Such were the activities of the entity then, as Perlesus. For, the entity made many changes in relationships with the various peoples that represented the political as well as the religious factors in those lands.
24. Thus, as indicated, as the entity through that experience learned or gained the concept of the letter of the law, he should - as he did in the latter portion of that sojourn - gain the interpreting and the understanding of the spirit of the law, the spirit of control in all phases of individual and group and national experience, before the letter of the law.
25. Before that the entity was in the Persian land when there were those edicts by the individuals in authority, when there was the allowing of the peoples of the Holy Land to return and build the city and the temple.
26. The entity was among those given authority to aid with those peoples active in their return. Thus the entity, it
2890-2 Page 4
might be said, was the one given authority by the Persian king to go with Zerubbabel and those peoples, as they prepared for that unusual journey.
27. Thus again we see reasons for the interpreting in the entity's experience of those lands, in this particular sojourn.
28. The entity aided much, and the interpretation of those promptings of the spiritual as well as the mental laws through that period made for developments in those forces that will be the greater urges in this particular experience.
29. The name then was Zeldezer.
30. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there was the settling of those disputations.
31. The entity was associated with, or in the household of, one of the counselors of the land. Thus, when there were those activities of the vocational guidances, the entity was set in charge of those groups that were prepared for the establishing of the relations with other lands.
32. The name then was Tesi-Ar-El.
33. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, - that to which it may attain, and how:
34. First and foremost, give the entity the understanding as to how to analyze self and self's purposes; as to its relationships to things and individuals, as to circumstances and as to labors. For, opportunities of a varied nature, and of many natures, will come to the entity.
35. The activities will depend upon the preparations and ideals that are chosen by the entity through its formative years.
36. Know in what ye believe, and the author of that ye believe. Then study to show thyself approved unto God, rightly dividing, rightly stressing all phases of the relationships to self, to others, to things, to conditions.
37. Keep self from condemnation of others or of self.
38. Ready for questions.
39. We are through for the present. Two copies to Father Copy to Ass'n file s'n file
