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 [5032].
3. In giving an interpretation of the records there is much from which to choose, yet these we would give with the desire and hope that this information may prove a helpful influence in the experience of the entity in its dealing with problems as to relationships with others in group activity.
4. As indicated from the activity of the entity in Uranus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, there is the deep interest in any form of research, especially that which deals with the unusual, whether this be in body, in mind or in spiritual aspects.
5. The warnings, then, to the entity: Do know that while the body, mind and soul are one, yet in the material relationships these have their aspects. Then judge not individuals nor conditions that are of a spiritual or mental nature by purely material standards, neither judge those of the material or mental nature by purely spiritual standards, for each has its part in the experience of individuals and the answer is ever according to that which is the ideal of the individual.
6. For as may be the question, as in judgement or in choosing of associates or activities, who or what is thy
5032-1 Page 2
God? The gratifying of the ego of self, or the universal consciousness in which the individual entity spends self in labor of love for others? From such only can there come and there be brought peace and harmony in the experience for any, or every individual. When the entity chooses only to gratify self, it builds barriers between individuals and self, as well as creating disharmony in its own mental and physical experience.
7. In the warnings then: First choose what is thy ideal, spiritually, and know that whatever comes into the experience must first be in spirit. As man would physically live, he must have air or spirit of purpose or hope or that which is of the infinite.
8. Then the ideal in mind: If it is only the thought of self or for the gratifying of physical or even mental appetites, it will certainly become warped in its relationship with others.
9. Then the spiritual ideal must be able to answer every cause, every purpose, every hope, every desire, and be able to keep whatever may be committed unto it against any experience.
10. For from the spiritual and mental comes the material manifestations, and as to what it brings into the experience physically depends upon that spirit, that manner, that purpose within which the ideal is given expression. And most of all do be sincere with self. For they who first practice to deceive, oh what a fatal web they weave about their lives!
11. As to the appearances in the earth, while all are not given, these indicate the pattern as to how and why certain research activities would be the channels through which the entity may experience the greater material, mental and spiritual harmonies.
12. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity among those who were of the household of those who would be called Friends, and the entity was among those who were kept strict. Thus the set rules in the experiences of the entity, of being demanding as it was demanded of. For with what measure ye mete it is measured to thee again.
13. In the name then Clara Rusk, the entity gained because of its teaching and administering to others until, in its own household, it made for the administering to its own offspring. The entity helped, the entity gained, though in a severe material manner.
14. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as or called the Norse land, during those periods when there
5032-1 Page 3
were the expansions of the peoples and lands.
15. The entity was among those who were oft in that position of supplying incentive for men and for women in their activity.
16. Thus as may be experienced in the present, not that there is to be builded those activities upon political factions or political factors, but so live in thy daily relationships with others as ye did through those experiences, as Elmnosen, that men and women do for the very love the entity itself manifested in thought of, in care of others.
17. For if the individual entity thinks only of self, others will not think much of the individual. If ye would have friends, be friendly. If ye would have love, give love to others. For he [who] would save his life shall lose it. For life is the manifestation of God and to have God in thine experience, which is all love, all hope, all faith, all kindness, all gentleness, all patience, ye must manifest such in thy dealings with others.
18. In the experience the entity gained throughout and it would be well if the entity would manifest in its analysis of self those characteristics, those principles, for it will build a gracious individuality and a wondrous personality in the present.
19. Before that we find the entity [was] in the land now known as the Egyptian, among those who were of the household of the Priest. The entity was among the children chosen for the activities of presenting the ideas and ideals in a materially manifested manner. These brought rules and regulations, at times in the Temple of Sacrifice hardships, but in the Temple Beautiful a glorious experience for the entity, in the name Nan-Welor.
20. As to the abilities of the entity then, that to which it may attain and how:
21. Enter any work or service where there are research data, activities in that nature, whether pertaining to the woof and warp of silk or satins, or of other woven goods, or certain purely physical research activities, or the interest in the psychic or mental and spiritual phases. These are channels, then, in the application of self.
22. As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Is there any way in which I can continue to strengthen the position of my associates - those loyal to the company - against the seemingly corrupt faction? (A) Read what has been given. Not in political, but in a
5032-1 Page 4
true, sincere, spiritual relationship.
25. (Q) Would my resignation be a better contribution to the cause? (A) Not if you will apply yourself. People do not come into such positions by chance. People can by their own lack of confidence in others, lack of spirituality in self, remove themselves from such. But so live, as should each soul, that to the full extent of thy ability ye are all things to all peoples in a service for an ideal.
26. (Q) My natural way of doing things has never seemed to conform to the normal pattern of the people around me, is this a fault or queerness that I should overcome? (A) As has been indicated, these are pointed out. Then turn about face where it is necessary, or in finding thine own ideal, know thy God, whether it is self, fame or fortune, or place, but do find the spirituality. Then study to show thyself approved, a workman not ashamed, rightly dividing the words of truth, keeping self unspotted from the world.
