1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth's 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 [5102].
3. In analyzing the urges latent and manifest in the personality and individuality of the present entity, we would give: Here is an entity marking time, yet there needs to be through this experience in the earth, combined with the abilities and the faults, a real decision made by this entity as to whether and as to how much the personality of self may include, in the individuality of the entity, creative forces.
4. As we find, then, these are latent and manifested urges from consciousness in realms which may be termed astrological aspects and yet this is not the true word or the meaning of same. For it is the consciousness of the entity in other phases or dimensions that cannot be expressed in words of three-dimensional meanings, and thus we give them general terms or names, as: Mercury, the high mental ability of the entity, judgments of the entity.
5. Mars, the abilities of the entity to supervise, to follow directions, to be true to a purpose and to an ideal, or to take rules and regulations and through the activities of self in its associations with others conform to patterns set, and thus, as may be indicated, this is the general pattern of the entity's experience in this period or
5102-1 Page 2
sojourn.
6. The greater abilities of the entity, then, are in following directions, and in the choices of associates, the choices of that which is to be the pattern, that which is to be the obligation, the duty, and work of the entity in this experience.
7. Thus as an overseer, as an advisor, as one who may make for the better carrying out of directions by an organization or a group, is a channel of activity in the material plane and in the mental and spiritual plane. These should be rather the mental and spiritual activities of the entity which may be set in what may appear as at first trite, or as idealistic, and yet know that these are the basis from which, through which an individual entity, a soul, may obtain, may have soul development in its experience in the material plane as well as through those periods of progression in spiritual planes.
8. Thy body is indeed the temple of the living God. Thus it is to be treated as such, to be considered as such, and that which ye entertain being the ideals and not mere ideas of Him, who is the truth, the way, the light, the understanding. And as ye apply those principles in dealing with thy fellow man, in the same manner directions must be followed. And as these are followed spiritually, mentally, materially according to the pattern set, may the soul, may the entity grow, may the personality be so magnified in the study of the personality of the God-Force which may manifest that the individuality of self becomes more and more in attune with, in accord with the divine purposes for the entity in this material plane.
9. As to the appearances in the earth, while not all may be given, it is to this general pattern which has been indicated that there is to be the experience of the entity through this particular sojourn.
10. Before this the entity was among those who were of those groups who fled from what is now Chicago or Fort Dearborn during those periods of evacuation or destruction. The entity settled then in the land nigh unto that of the present environ, between what is now the entity's sojourn and that known as Cincinnati. [[5102] was residing in Dayton, Ohio, at time of reading.]
11. The entity then began the aiding in the building and contracting and grouping of individuals together.
12. These, then, are the channels which may be magnified in the experiences in the present sojourn; thus enabling the entity to be an advisor, an overseer, one with judgments as to controlling or to ruling or as to working together with
5102-1 Page 3
groups on things that would have to do with safety, or the building up of those activities which make for better relationships between groups for pleasant environs.
13. In the name then Uriel Harris, the entity made manifest the ideals of united efforts to make for greater harmonies in group activity.
14. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian when there were those directions being given through the Roman land when the northern portions of that land were under the directions of the entity, a native then, in the name of Hernedez. The entity made for those associations with those set in authority in the land, and thus while it gained some of those ideals it also gained some of the dislikes for the individuals who would coordinate and cooperate with others in authority and with other powers. Yet the entity learned the lesson there, and the activities there were well.
15. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Holy Land during those periods when there were the settlings in the land by the children of Promise, and when there were those chosen who were to go out and spy or to gather information as to the various portions where the children of Dan and the children of Nephtali were to settle. The entity was among those chosen by Joshua, and again the entity learned from the admonitions given by that teacher, that leader, in that of obedience to material, to mental and to spiritual interpretations.
16. The entity was then in the name of Armehn.
17. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian during those periods when there were the attempts to re-establish the activities of the Priest to coordinate the disputations and disputes which had arisen between the King's own household, as well as natives and the sojourners from the Atlantean land.
18. The entity aided the Priest in bringing, as it were, united efforts on the part of the various leaders chosen to counsel with the Priest. At that period the entity was in the name Set-Ilen.
19. As to the abilities of the entity, then, that to which it may attain and how:
20. As indicated, there are both the material and the mental and spiritual aspirations. These are to be made as one. For that which is the treatment of the fellow man is the manner in which ye treat thy Maker.
21. Study then, the promises, the laws of the universal nature. Apply them in self and in the relationships with others and ye will have it said of thee, "Thou hast finished
5102-1 Page 4
the course, thou art welcomed into the realms of those who will be and are blessed."
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Am I doing that in which I can be of most service to my fellow man, as well as satisfactory joy or work and compensation, or should I change? (A) Keep in those channels in which ye are the go-between, as between the activities of men and those who are set in authority in high places. These are the activities in which the entity may succeed the most.
