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 [3582].
3. In interpreting the records as we find them here, these we choose with the desire that this information prove a helpful experience for this entity; enabling the entity to better fulfill those purposes, adapting itself better to circumstance and to realize the meaning of much in this sojourn that seems to come from out of nowhere into the entity's experience.
4. For as the entity realizes, there is little or nothing that happens by chance, but ever after a pattern, a law. And that the entity may build in the mind from the spiritual, that it accepts as its director alters results that may be had in the experience of the individual - in the same measure as was asked "Master, who sinned - this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
5. These then, as the consciousness arises in the entity through the application of those urges that may make for or against the greater explanations of the entity's experience, produce that which may cause grace and glory to be magnified in the entity's life.
6. When there is taken into consideration the expression or the composite of earthly sojourns and astrological effects, we find:
7. The entity is one endowed with a great deal of innate or
3582-2 Page 2
natural ability, that has to do with dealing in those things having to do with the representation of certain given periods or the like. Anything that is unusual is of interest to the entity, as are those things having to do with the intricacies of activities that would bring about certain conditions.
8. Just as the entity's interest in things occult or psychic, and yet not in that sense of being emotional about same. But innately the entity finds an interest in things in any experience or clime that are unusual.
9. These bring urges and latent conditions as manifestations in the entity's experience. For at times the entity finds life somewhat monotonous. But when there are those activities and thoughts along philanthropic lines, it is different. For as the entity finds, as ye measure to others, ye measure to thy Maker.
10. As to urges from sojourns in realms other than this particular earth, we find one given to things of unusual nature; as mementoes, things that would be representatives of times and places, things that would be as souvenirs. And this might include almost every type in which various relationships with many characters of people become involved.
11. The activities then in which the entity may excel are in those very fields where such things would be engendered or brought together or kept track of in such ways as to satisfy or gratify the minds of others, not so much of self. For the very interest in self in getting such together, fulfills most of the emotions the entity finds in same.
12. Thus there may be builded or bridged many of those variations in the mental, material and spiritual characterizations of such who enter into these activities as those who would teach, those who would illustrate, those who would determine the facts for others.
13. In this manner then it is necessary for the entity to analyze self, in relationship to those urges that arise in the present when there is a summing up for the entity of those conditions that have been a part of the experience in the directions for any one day.
14. As to the experiences of the entity in the earth, while these have not been such a great number, their variations are worth making note of. And these are given with the desire to aid the entity in interpreting much that comes into self's experience. For as indicated, while the entity is in those periods that have to do with various activities, the urges arise from latent and innate interests in certain chosen fields. Yet not in the same manner as most
3582-2 Page 3
individuals who are interested in such, but to be used as a state or period of promotion for an unfoldment in the body, mind and purpose.
15. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, in the very early settlings, in association with those who set up activities in the present environs.
16. The entity was among the children of the people of that land. The experience brought interpretations to the entity, helps for the varied individuals with whom the entity came in contact who were of the natives.
17. Thus customs of tribesmen, customs of individual sects and groups are all ever of special interest to the entity. Things young and old, that cause the variations in the activities of such groups where definite changes or stands are taken at various periods - the entity feels very deeply about these.
18. The name then was Alexeana Poe. The entity gained, as it added to the helpful influences in the experiences of those in that period who were attempting to adjust themselves to the new environs, the new laws or orders of the natures that control people, only as to the eventual sincerity of those about the entity.
19. Before that the entity was in the Holy Land when those peoples gathered in the secular places for the interpretations of the proclamation of the Master through the varied periods when He taught a great deal.
20. The entity was among certain groups who had been among the Essenes. Thus we find the particular interest the entity finds in the varied accounts presented by and from those with whom the Master, as well as others, labored.
21. The name then was Rebecha.
22. Before that the entity was in the land now known as Egypt, in those periods when individuals were sent as emissaries and teachers to various lands.
23. Thus the innate and manifested interest in things unusual, things in various stages of unfolding and development, things that are psychic. But it is not well for the entity here to even express a hope or desire of materializing or manifesting in such.
24. As to the abilities of the entity:
25. Wherever there may be those activities that become of a helpful spiritual nature, lend thy hands to such - If these should lead thee into the wedding of self, as it were, to a cause or purpose, do it. If they should lead thee into those activities having to do with things that are unusual and yet must be real, do them.
26. Tie thyself closer with such, and may the entity never
3582-2 Page 4
lose its sense of direction or its sense of honesty.
27. Ready for questions.
