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 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: Adams County, must be some town close by, near Geneva. New cycle, not bad!
3. [5082], July 3rd. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [5082], nee [5082].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records here, there are a great deal of activities of the entity in the earth plane, as well as urges latent from the consciousnesses in those realms of other dimensions than the earth. We would magnify the virtues, we would minimize the faults, but in interpreting the records here, we find from a composite view of the entity's urges latent and manifest, these are apparent in the characteristics of the entity.
5. One very independent and will succeed in whatever it undertakes. Given just half a chance the entity will make it work, but don't be so independent as to forget that others also have their virtues, as well as thyself. You are not the only one who thinks. While others may not be as deep a thinker, yet be as kind and as gentle with others as ye would like for others to be to you. For as is indicated in the law that changes not, the manner in which ye treat thy fellowman, ye are treating thy Maker. Thus each individual soul-entity meets its ownself and must give an account for the deeds done in the body and in the body-mind. For that ye thinketh in thy heart, so are ye.
6. The entity in its activities should have been or should
5082-1 Page 2
be associated with those who are in public places, as those associated with the theater. The entity itself could have made an actress that anyone might have been proud of. The activities in the present will depend upon the use of urges as may be indicated from the activities of the entity in the sojourns in the earth.
7. As to the activities which are latent and manifest from astrological sojourns or those periods of sojourns in consciousnesses when not in the three-dimensional or the material consciousness as in the earth, we find Jupiter as the ruling force. This entity is independent as indicated, yet even given to good works, always taking the part (though at times apparently very dictatorially) of the underdog or the underprivileged, or those lacking in something in the physical or the mental attributes of the physical or mental body. Thus, as the entity sets itself in the position of giving orders, be sure they are in keeping with the divine influences which are thy privilege to use. For he who puts himself on the Lord's side may conquer, may exceed, may excel others who apparently are materially much better qualified for such activities.
8. Then let thy yeas be yea and thy nays be nay, but in the Lord.
9. In Neptune we find also that consciousness of one well adapted in the unusual or the mysteries or the mysticism. These again are of the soul and are of the spiritual nature. Then let everything the entity does be done with all good conscience, but this doesn't mean having necessarily thine own way. For as has been indicated, others think as well as self, and there are at times ways that seemeth right and yet the end thereof may become death.
10. Thus the needs that this entity, as well as every entity (but this entity in its activities especially), be acquainted with, and walk oft in the way of life as manifest in the Christ.
11. As to the experiences in the earth, these, too, are part of that universal consciousness or, as has been indicated, considering both the spiritual (or the emotional of the soul), and the emotional of the body-consciousness. While all appearances may not be given, these will indicate the pattern which, as has been indicated, would be given the entity; and the more oft the pattern is analyzed and the parallel of self's desires and hopes measured with the Master, the better and the greater harmony will be the experiences of this entity.
12. How many of the promises do you know? Not merely sayings but as personal promises? Do make thy promises,
5082-1 Page 3
though in keeping with those promises He made. And the chief of these is, "If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments, and I promise that I will come and walk with thee day by day." This is a promise He keeps with those who keep and who love His ways. For His ways are not grievous, though they oft require the bearing of the Cross, but it is the only way to harmony and peace in the earth and, to be sure, the only way in the inter-between and the hereafter.
13. Before that the entity was in the land of the present nativity during those periods when there was the settling and the building up of the land.
14. The entity was among those who were new settlers in the area called "along the Wabash Valley." Thus to the entity we find that nature, growing of wheat, blooming flowers, corn silking, cows lowing are those peaceful, happy influences indicating contentment, the fulfilling of the law of plenty. Not that the entity doesn't see more than just the material expression, but a fulfilling of those promises, as through that experience the entity, as Rebecca Wahl, found help in ministering to the young of the neighborhood; not merely as a teacher, but as an instructor in those activities through the trying periods of the young of that day.
15. Hence the interest the entity has in young and those who are lacking, in mind or body, of the things for being as on par, as it were, with others.
16. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as or called the Grecian and Roman land, when there were those presentations from the Grecian land of the activities in higher places in the Roman land, as to the variations in the character of entertainment when individual rulers left off the battling together of man and beast, when man and woman became as actors in those experiences, and the emotions were expressed in regard to conditions that formed characters in the life.
17. Thus those abilities that might have been today expressed in what is called the stage, the drama or the like. These have had special interest for the entity, yet in the experience in the present these may be turned more to the drama of life. For in the realities, the dramas of those things wherein those who have been in such a state as to be subject to the law, and those karmic influences which bring to bear those burdens of illness, mentally or physically may the entity so contribute to those individuals in measures and ways beyond compare; not so much as the nurse, but as the companion, instructor, and director.
18. In those experiences the entity was known as Elane.
5082-1 Page 4
19. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Holy Land, and among those who were of the children or the daughters of Judah, during those periods when there were the establishings in the city where the great temple was built.
20. The entity was then acquainted with David and Solomon, as a contributor both to the decorations in the Palace of Bathsheba and in the house of the King in Solomon's period.
21. In the name then Rahalab, the entity gained through those activities because of the counsel, not merely in regard to the preparations in finery.
22. Thus the entity is at home with the lowly, as well as those in authority or in higher places. Use, don't abuse, those dependencies which arise from the associations in those periods.
23. Before that the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian land and among those who were purified in the Temple of Sacrifice and prepared in the service of the home builders in the Temple Beautiful, in the name then Exan-or.
24. As to the abilities of the entity, then, in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
25. How? By first knowing self and self's relationship to the Creative Forces of God. Then by applying self in such measures, in meting out to others that counsel, that help, that aid which may make those individuals to (if not by reasoning, by the very impelling force of kindness, gentleness, patience, brotherly love) become aware of same in their own experiences.
26. Ready for questions.
