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, 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 [5145].
3. In giving the interpretation of the records here, as we find there are many commendable experiences of the entity through the material sojourns, as well as the part in the universal consciousness of the entity; that is, the experiences inter-between in the appearances of the entity in the earth.
4. We would magnify the virtues, we would minimize the faults of the entity; yet not to the extent as to not indicate those faults or failures in the experience in the present, or in those sojourns through the varied experiences in the earth.
5. Astrologically we find one given to a great deal of study openly, as well as to self alone, as well as to those things which pertain to spiritual manifestations in and among the material relationships, as is seen from the latent urges.
6. The entity is a student consciously and unconsciously of mathematical problems, and yet most of these in the present environ being manifested in the one direction, the entity belittles or belies many experiences of the same character or nature.
7. The urges which arise from astrological sojourn in
5145-1 Page 2
Neptune make the entity one, as it were, closely identified with things that have to do with water, those products in and over same. Thus, as we find, as application of self in the directions, or directing of conditions which pertain to same, would be the channel through which the urges latent and manifested may have the greater outpouring of abilities of this entity.
8. As to the activities then, as would have to do with things or conditions pertaining to water, as one in associations and activities where there is the exchange of commodities, the experiences of sailing into and being a part of the life experience in many climes and many lands, these all become part of the consciousness and experience of this entity.
9. Things as would pertain to law, or the influences which may become a part of any entity's experience in which the activities have to do with, pertaining to, water, on water, over water, all are part of this entity's consciousness.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, while all may not be given, these indicate the latent and manifested urges and the abilities of the entity to make application of same in such manners as to bring about the consciousness of the well-being of many.
11. Then, in those changes as should be wrought by the entity in the next few years, those things pertaining to activities in which the mental capacities of the entity may be "put to", as it were, in analyzing manners in which to control or to direct the efforts especially of those activities close to the sea should be part of the experience.
12. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, and among those who were sent from a foreign land; not so much as to the expectancy of the entity, through these experiences in a hard, cold, cruel, undertaking in the world activities.
13. The entity through the experiences, though, was a director to those people who had to do with those periods of experiences just following those in the early portions of 1799. In those experiences we find the entity measured up to, and meted, those things which are a part of the consciousness; and yet these not becoming standards in the experience of the entity.
14. Yet, with the application of self in the study of the relationships to those things which pertain to intuition, those which pertain to unusual characters of mechanical instruments, all of these should be parts of the entity's consciousness; not so much as the inventive nature, but
5145-1 Page 3
rather those which would prove or add to the tenets of certain laws pertaining to expansion of individual efforts on their part.
15. In the experience the entity found those activities pertaining to both field and shop, and these brought to the entity a confusion or a misuse oft of those manners of activities which became a part of the entity.
16. In the name then Thomas Walsh, the entity became as one who cared for a signal light for the activities on the sea.
17. Hence in the present, the activities upon large bodies of water become a part of the consciousness of the entity in its entirety. Yet the use of these has not been applied wholly as it should be in this experience. More, then, as may be the controlling or directing of activities which may become creative in themselves, as those things which pertain to the proper consideration of those who work as well as of those environs of the entity.
18. Before that we find the entity was in that land when there were the journeyings of those peoples from Egypt.
19. The entity was then among the sons of the children of Israel, and the keeper of the records for its own peoples. In the experience the name was Jahpiel.
20. Before that we find the entity was in those activities as related to the Atlantean land, yet the activities brought the entity into confusion because of those experiences of the sons of Belial and the daughters of the Law of One and the activities of the sons of Belial in those experiences of the children of the Law of One.
21. These, in their very combinations, bring a sympathy here to those influences which would arise from unusual experiences of the entity, and these have at times been a part of the experience and may yet be if the entity will spend some time alone, whether it be in the home, in travel, or in the supply of elements through the applications of such for the activities in the entity's experience.
22. In the name then Arnev, the entity gained, for patience was then a portion of the activity of the entity.
23. Before that we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity when there were those periods, (as are oft called by some as the periods) of material expression without proper consideration of the activities which would bring about such.
24. In the experience the entity gained through the patience, kindness with others.
25. As to the abilities in the present, do change in the environ and let the ins and outs be rather in those consciousnesses of the necessity of the study of life
5145-1 Page 4
itself, as is related to creative influences or forces.
26. Keep self, then, inviolate. Do not find faults with others. Do not condemn. For with what judgment ye mete to others, it is measured to thee again.
27. There are abilities to be a gardener, a mathematician; apparently very opposite, yet one and the same; a lighthouse keeper.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) If I have latent talents, how should I pursue their development? (A) As has been indicated, there are latent talents. As to the manner of developing them, let it be through the trust in, faith in, applying self in, the things that give expression to those talents.
30. (Q) Am I in the type of work or trade best suited to my ability? (A) This must be achieved through the efforts of the own self. Do analyze self in the changes. These we find would be wrought when the term, as might be called, is completed. Then, with those suggestions which may be a portion of the entity's experience, there may be brought about greater conviction of purpose and the activities which will bring about the best environ for this body.
31. (Q) What was the purpose of my entering the earth plane at this time? (A) To meet self respecting impatience, learning to be tolerant with all, keeping self in that manner in which there may be the use of the talents as a minister, a teacher, a lawyer, or in those things which would have to do with the activities upon the sea.
32. (Q) What is the pattern or symbol for this entity? (A) As has been indicated.
