Present in Time of Reading this Room, Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. ...
1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [3051], born January 15, 1898, in Paterson, New Jersey, and the earthly existence of this entity as It-Or-La in Egypt, one active in the Temples regarding interpretation of tenets even beyond some of the tenets of the Priest. You will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the developing or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions the entity submits, as I ask them, concerning the associations and practical application of urges arising from that sojourn.
2. EC: Yes, yes we have the records here of that entity now known as or called: [3051] and the experience of the entity in the earth's plane in the activities in Egypt.
3. In understanding these, it is well that a portion at least of the periods, the background, the activities of the entity be understood, that there may be a paralleling of same with the activities of the entity in the present and the use of same in the lessons gained as to be applied in the present.
4. The entity was among those who went into banishment with the Priest and thus of those groups who entered Egypt with the Priest and the older king. The entity then was one of those who passed through the Temple of Sacrifice, rather as in purifying the body from the fires of nature.
5. Thus, as we find, innate and manifest in the experiences of the entity, habits - whether gratifying of appetites or as a part of nature's habits as to inter-relationships - bring definite ideas and purposes to the entity's activity. Not, then, that which may be termed as against, or cold to, the habit of nature but rather as a higher-developed soul-entity controls habits rather than being controlled by them. Thus with the entity's, It-Or-La's passing in the

activities in the Temple of Sacrifice into the Temple Beautiful, making such an advanced activity as to become an instructor, surpassing, as indicated, even the judgment of the teacher or Priest. Thus was the entity in that position where instructions were indicated to the individuals who were given special or regular lessons in the relationships with groups in other parts of the then active world.
6. Thus we find the entity in the present oft at, what may be called, a variance to instruction or those deciding or indicting that such and such definite conditions should be the routine of the body, disregarding the tenets of ideals, in spirit, in mind, in body.
7. Then, in the application of same in the present; not that self is to consider self as above others, but never should the entity, unless there is an answering as to "heart to heart" allow instruction to be followed that doesn't ring true, doesn't show that the ideals and the application of self in relationships bear out the principles and tenets of what the entity chooses as the ideal situation in every relationship. If the entity does this, we will find better and better may the body, mind and soul coordinate to bring activities which will make for bettered conditions in the earth's experience throughout.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) How should I go about developing abilities demonstrated in the Egyptian period? (A) As just indicated, begin first with choosing of ideals not because Jim, Jane or John said this, but as this answers to something within self.
10. (Q) Was I marked by Ra-Ta if so where? (A) On the upper lip close to the right side of the mouth.
11. (Q) What and where were my past associations with my husband [3436]? (A) In this experience, as has been indicated, and, as may be seen, there were those instructions as the entity prepared the companion in the present for activities as a representative in other lands. Worked together, yes, and the basic principle should be the basis for the consideration as one for the other. There are duties, physical, mental and spiritual and as each considers same and their influence and feelings for each other in relationships to all such, greater and greater may be the cooperation of each.
12. (Q) How may I best assist in [3436] spiritual development? (A) Just as in the application through that experience, by reasoning with and loving. Then, altogether the directions which are compatible, which are harmonious.

13. (Q) How may I come to a fuller realization of my oneness with God? (A) As first indicated - not by merely feeling a tenet but demonstrating in the choice of ideal activities, physically, mentally and spiritually.
14. (Q) How express the ability of giving spiritual enlightenment as demonstrated in Persian and Arabian lands, through the written and spoken word? (A) We haven't the demonstration in Persia or Arabia, only in the Egyptian here.
15. (Q) What form of interpretations did the entity express in work done in Egyptian periods and how continue developing along those lines? (A) Just as has been indicated, as outlined: The tenets which are gained by the application or doing of, choices as of the spiritual beliefs in the application of same mentally, in the application of, preparation and distribution of, the tenets and truths. Also in keeping as near as possible the ideal relationships which are chosen by self. These will keep a constant growth and more harmonious expression in self.
16. (Q) How may I best help others? (A) Just read that given.
17. (Q) What were my occupations during male incarnations and what were the accomplishments? (A) It was not a male in the Egyptian experience. This is the one we have in the present.
