1. GC: You will give the relations 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 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, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions as I ask them.
2. EC: A fourth dimensional mind!
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now calling self [5118]. There are very interesting, very unusual symbols indicating the activities of this entity in its search for a more coordinating of those purposes and ideals with activities in the earth and the sources of same.
4. More and more should the entity study self; not merely from a pathological standpoint, but the effect of mind upon the physical structure. For, as the body studies the creating or the fertilization of the fluid in bodies when conception takes place, as to its growth and how it draws upon the pattern in the body from which it has taken its form, it may be seen that the body may be entirely different in structure - as to height, etc., or because of activity of certain elements upon which the body may feed in the physical, or because of that it may view - as in mind - as to the pattern.
5. These studies should give the entity a greater concept of self's analyzing of the control of individuals, as well as of how the body may use the structural portions of the body as leverage in releasing congestion in muscular forces, or how that because of pressures upon segments along the cerebrospinal system, in areas where there is the coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system,
5118-1 Page 2
there may be tensions relieved and better eliminations set up through the eliminating channels of a body.
6. For the study of man, mind and body, is the manner in which an individual entity may analyze or study human relationships one with another. Thus may this entity gain the greater concept of the good it may accomplish.
7. But as the entity analyzes, take this also into consideration: Man finds himself, or this entity, composed of a body, a mind (and that mind is a body, for it has its limitations) and a soul - or a three-dimensional consciousness. Yet only the physical body may be apparent physically. The mind may be apparent but not visible, not as in touch, but as in the feeling and the visioning of what the thoughts may be. Yet no one can tell another exactly what he thinks, though certain vibrations may be felt. For instance, the entity in its own experience may experience such activities as to find self in relationship with symbols that to the entity represent certain feelings and certain activities within the scope of the activity of others. But know that all arises from the spiritual attitude and aptitude of self, as well as other entities.
8. These, the entity should consider as it studies and analyzes others.
9. So many changes have been wrought in the urges latent from astrological aspects that there is little reflex from these for this entity in the present. Thus, we find the entity prone to judge by material results, rather than considering spiritual, mental and material as one. But know that all have their part in the formation of the individuality, as well as the personality of others.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, this entity has had many. Not all to be indicated here, but:
11. Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn. Hence those attractions that have brought the entity to the present environs. For the entity is a "sensitive", as indicated in the manner in which it studies the anatomical structure, as well as the mind structure. Not enough stress is put on the spiritual, for the sources. For, what comes in mind, in materiality, must first have been created in the spirit. For the earth was first without form and void. So is mind, or matter. It is first a desire, a consciousness, a fluid, a gas. It is united, it becomes, as it were, as a "feeling" for. So may the entity in itself find the same. These are of particular interest to the entity.
12. Then the entity came into the land with the hopes for seeking freedom from certain oppressions, from the seeking
5118-1 Page 3
of others to tell them that they should think.
13. Hence the entity in the present finds itself as one loving freedom, yet latent within self there is somewhat of a resentment when there are not agreements. Be more in accord with not necessarily the times or the day, but know that others can think as well as yourself, and it's worth listening to. Use that ye may apply in thyself, not selfishly, nor yet that ye may lord over others, but that ye may in the greater measure be a channel of blessings to others; spiritually, mentally, materially; not attempting to control others' thoughts but offering opportunities.
14. For know that no individual may be controlled unless he chooses or allows himself to be. Be sure that you are right and then go forward.
15. Then in the name Alexiacasan, the entity gained. For it set a united effort in the minds and experiences of many.
16. Before that the entity was in the Norse land during those periods when portions of the coastland were being overrun.
17. The entity then was one who set about to establish new activities, new endeavors for many groups of people.
18. Thus those things,of the soil, things having to do with social and moral law, are a portion of the consciousness.
19. The name then was Oson.
20. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land when there were those groups being set in other lands for various purposes and activities.
21. The entity was among those of the group that came into Egypt. With the establishing of the Temple of Sacrifice, the entity set about to use the tenets and truths that had been a part of the experience in Atlantis, of the children of the Law of One. These were used as suggestions in those periods, with the elements and drugs used as sedatives, for activities in the Temple of Sacrifice or for the surgery, in preparing individuals for definite services, by the removal of those things that would cause one to become different-minded because of the relationships to the activities in a pre-existence or pre-period of materiality.
22. The name then was Usdus-Tan.
23. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, as indicated there is a very high mental ability; one with the pattern for a searcher, one with many urges for carrying on, many urges for activity and study as to the activities of mind over matter, mind over activities in a physical body.
24. Do study the anatomical structure more in relation to spirit, mind and body, and we will find that the entity may make a greater contribution to the mental, spiritual and
5118-1 Page 4
material welfare for individuals in this particular experience.
25. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing
