1. GC: You will give the relations 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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3094].
3. In giving an interpretation of the records, these we would choose from the records here with the desire and purpose that this information may be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfill the purposes for which it entered this present sojourn.
4. Know first within self, it is not by chance the entity entered this experience through these periods of turmoil and strife. There is a pattern that, applied in the present experience the entity may know within self that the Lord liveth and directeth the ways of those who seek to know His biddings.
5. To be sure, there has been sorrow, sadness, in the experience of the entity; not only of a personal nature but that rather of a universal nature, owing to those things that have been and are happening within the land of the entity today.
6. Thus it becomes rather of a national nature. But, as the entity has entered those activities in the land of the present sojourn, know that these - too - have their influence in the abilities of the entity and have an influence upon those groups or individuals with whom the entity may come in contact.
7. We find the entity one well gifted in many abilities in
3094-2 Page 2
the material world; vivacious, pleasing, pleasant, and too easily may the influences about the entity call for the answering within self. The more and more there is the application of those things that bespeak of an ideal, rather than the glorifying or gratifying of self's desire, greater indeed may be the beauty of living.
8. In the abilities we would magnify the virtues, we would minimize the faults. Let this also be a part not only of the policy of the controlling of the emotions of the body; minimize the faults in others. For, those who are in the earth in the physical body are manifestations of the Father's love for each individual soul-entity.
9. Life itself is the opportunity. Then, use same in a way and manner not as a justification of this or that thought, but ever as the glorification of His purpose with thee; remembering ever as He has given (and His promises are sure), "Though ye may be afar off, if ye call I will hear - and answer speedily."
10. The natural inclinations are to be optimistic, but analyze self often and know whether that optimism is the satisfying of self's desires or for the glorifying of a God-given purpose.
11. The greater abilities of the entity will be in the home in making and creating a home; not only for self but for those that are naturally attracted to and by the entity. For, the whole purpose of the entity as will be seen in the pattern of the life, is the home.
12. Hence this would be as a seal of the entity:
13. In the circle (such as one eight to ten inches in diameter) put a home - as is depicted oft by the little gray home in the west; this with a foreground of not too much shrubbery but a great many flowers with bees and birds in same.
14. Upon the left put a field over which the sun is shining - corn field - Indian corn; a full ear, with the silk and the tassel, on the right side put a field of wheat, with several small shocks and a sickle by the foremost shock.
15. The interpretation, as will be seen through the pattern of the life, is; the seeking of supply, of body - as indicated in corn; in the mind as indicated by flowers, by homes and by those outlets for the expression of home; and a full life in same indicated by the ripened grain and the sickle of life.
16. Astrologically we find Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn as those influences.
17. Jupiter here indicates the universal consciousness as in the supply of body, of mind and of purpose.
3094-2 Page 3
18. In Venus we find love, lightness, beauty in body of self; but remember beauty is also of character as well as of face or form.
19. Saturn indicates the great changes that have come and that may be a part of the entity's present experience.
20. As to the appearances in the earth, while all may not be indicated here, these are given indicating the pattern also the interpretation of the seal or the pattern of the entity's experiences in the earth:
21. Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn during those early periods of settling; in those lands about Providence, R.I., when the people were beginning to settle there, the entity was among the early children born in the new land, where the entity's parents (Huddlestrohm) had come seeking freedom from persecution and to build and make a home. The entity then, in the name Rachel Huddlestrohm used its abilities in making close associations with the natives; becoming adept in the weaving of baskets and the making of chairs, the making of those things used by those people with whom the entity was associated. The entity was light of body, beautiful in figure and brought joy into the groups and among those peoples with whom the entity was active.
22. The entity gained, making a contribution to harmonious effects in the activities. From same we find in the present the abilities as the home maker, the housekeeper; the abilities as a weaver, the abilities to make beautiful applique work on cloth.
23. Before that the entity was in the Norseland, when there were those periods of constant turmoils with those as the Huns or of the German land.
24. The entity was among those who suffered from those persecutions and turmoils. Thus the desires, the seeking for safety of home, safety of those things that would supply the needs - as indicated in the seal; food, provender for body and for all about the entity.
25. While material things have ever and will ever be a constant thought in the entity, we find that the beauty - as indicated in the foreground about the home - should ever be to the satisfying of the mind, but building of purposes of hopes, of the dependence of one upon the other in the gratifying of the beauty and the love of the Lord.
26. The name then Erna Ollon. The entity gained mentally and spiritually. Questions might be put regarding the material gain. Safety and security, even the desire for home, arise from that experience.
27. Before that the entity was in the Persian and Arabian
3094-2 Page 4
land, when there were those periods of activity in the "city in the hills and the plains."
28. The entity was among those that had been hangers-on for those groups of people who, in treks from the land Saad to the Egyptian land, passed through these portions of the land. Hence the entity was among those of the caravans that were left, because of their illness in body, in the "city in the hills of the plains" and the entity came under the influence of the teacher Uhjltd, and thus joined in creating those environs of the home for the aged, for the infirm, and for the young. These were the activities of the entity in those experiences after the healing there.
29. In the present activities then, we will find the entity as a comforter to those in distress, as well as a companion to those who are on the mend; not too much of those that are ill but those on the mend.
30. Thus may the activities become as a constructive influence in the experiences of others, because of the temperament, the cheerfulness and optimism of the entity. May the entity ever keep these, that they may be furthermost in the application in the entity's own home. For, this should not only be the seeking as to activities but the purpose and ideal. For the home is the representative of that hope of every soul, not only the material home but the heavenly home; and that in the earth may be made as the shadow of things to come.
31. The name then was Shalzarch.
32. Before that the entity was in the Indo-China land during those periods of the height of those activities of the Queen, when those combinations were created by the associations of that Queen with those of the the Gobi land; when the mines and the sacred places for the treasures of the earth were set.
33. These have been the dreams, as it were, of the entity through many of its periods in the earth and may yet be realized. For the entity will yet be a world traveler, and visit many lands; when the companion's activities are established in the periods preceding the home building.
34. The name was Arzen.
35. As to the abilities of the entity, that to which it may obtain [attain] and how:
36. First find self. Know self's ideal, spiritually, mentally, materially. Put the first things first. If the spiritual life and purpose is not ideal, the mental and material life can not be safe or content. But day unto day uttereth speech, night unto night showeth knowledge. So it is in the application of self's abilities in the home
3094-2 Page 5
building, in administering to the needs of others. But seek to build thine own home - yes, be married again. You will find one that will also be seeking world travel.
37. Let that which prompted thee in many of thy sojourns in the earth guide thee in the present. In appreciation for what others and God have been to thee, be ye so to others. For, in the manner ye treat thy fellow man, thy neighbor, ye are treating thy God.
38. Let thy yeas be yea, thy nays be nay. For the love of God made manifest in the daily life is the purpose of each soul in the earth.
39. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (At your convenience, we'd suggest that you get in touch with one of our members who must have been very closely associated with you in the Indo-China period: Miss [1298].)
