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 are given the records here of that entity now known as or called, [5332].
3. In analyzing same there is much to be considered and here the entity is seeking much that it doesn't expect, doesn't give full credence in, and yet know that within self ye are an individual entity, a universe within self, with all the potential powers and faculties of the divine, as well as the hellish. And these ye may manifest through thy own will.
4. The entity must find in self, if it would accomplish more, the ability to open the hand to give out; and in the giving out may ye receive. For that which is of the spiritual, in giving ye receive. For it is as of love, of friendship, of those which are ever Creative; they grow within themselves by doing, and when it becomes as something it would close away from others, it becomes as something that would deteriorate within its own self.
5. Thus the entity is a capable individual, one given to scientific analysis, scientific study, the reasons for same; but the advancements, if the entity would find same, must be by giving.
6. Oft the entity listens; yes, too good a listener for its own good. For as the entity listens, it may oft turn the conversation into channels which would be much more
5332-1 Page 2
inspiring and much more helpful, but because of that little streak of selfishness, it refrains and thus oft loses opportunities. There are these influences the body should analyze and find: there is the body-physical, there is the body-mental and there is the body-spiritual. The spirituality, then, of self is expressed in the individuality of the entity and this is at times indicated. As has just been given, know what thy ideal is spiritually, mentally, materially. And then go about to practice same. For to know to do good, and to do it not, it is sin to that soul; and to know the manner in which ye may help others and refrain, it is hellish in thine own self, creating conditions which must be antagonistic in thine own experience with others. It is the law of grace and the law of recompense, the law of love.
7. Seek, then, first the Lord while He may be found and all others of the material, of the mental will be added in their proper place, their proper relationships.
8. As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, these have been quite varied. While all will not be undertaken here, these may indicate the pattern:
9. Before this we find the entity was in the land during the campaign in portions of Pennsylvania, during the Revolution. The entity was then in the name of Walter Hanson, and undertook the supplying of food during some of the most strenuous periods, being helpful in the aid for the ill, for those who should be clothed better of its own people. Thus the entity gained and has that which is innate, as of the thought of the fellow man and yet its selfish nature intervenes at times.
10. In the experience the entity gained and yet there is ever before thee good and evil, life and death, choose thou today.
11. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those periods of the spreading of the Roman rule. The entity was among those who were of the Alexandrian land where there was the setting of groups to oversee, to supervise for benefits of the Roman empire.
12. The entity was then in the name of Romanus, but of that land of the Alexandrians, but making peace to gain wherewithal that there might be better means for obtaining the material desires of the entity in the experience. He reckoned well in some; not so well in others. The doubts and the fears oft arise from these experiences in dealing with national and international conditions.
13. In the analyzing with those activities we will find, as given, the scientific or the means or the basis from which
5332-1 Page 3
things arise is of most interest to the entity. Keep this well but let not that selfish streak predominate, as indicated in that experience in the North African land.
14. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those activities in the Temple of Sacrifice, where there was the adding of things and the taking away of others to bring activities in the experiences of individuals.
15. Thus the interest in chemical forces, as well as the elements of the earth, the elements of the air and the water, all were parts of the entity's study, in the name Cheathelenuet.
16. In the experience there was wisdom but in the use of it came questions.
17. In the present there is wisdom. Understand to temper it with that which prompted the Master to give Himself for others.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Did I live a former life on Atlantis and have to do with Areal Navigation by levitational methods? (A) In former Atlantean experience the entity aided in the various things which brought about the destruction of Atlantis in its second experience; yes, the ruling forces with the radiation from the stones were parts of the entity's experience.
20. (Q) How can I proceed to render similar service when the war is over? (A) In the activities which have been indicated, don't become selfish! Study to show thyself approved. Direct thy ways in the ways of the Lord; these are the more perfect ways. And then the application of these may bring into the experience the interpreting of many influences and things which may be helpful for the fellow man.
21. (Q) Is this what is known as cosmic power, known then as the "night side of nature"? (A) Known then as the realms from the light.
22. (Q) How can it be applied to Aluminum? (A) Is this correct in asking? Is this not selfish? When ye have attained to the understanding "For others Lord," we will help.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing
