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: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [5353].
3. As we find, there are many gifts which are a part of the development of the entity, and the greater abilities are as yet being overlooked. They are unusual in many directions; arts, literature, every form of architectural patterns, mosaics of all characters are all in the urges of the body. Yet, as we find, the body would find writing along those lines of Hawthorne (Nathaniel) are the urges which were put into application in the association of the entity as an entity, rather than as an individual or as a materialized individual. For here we find Hawthorne an entity surrounded by, followed closely with, this entity as an activity. Thus the special interest this now known as [5353] has in psychic or mystic or the unusual influences, and thus if there will be the application of self there may be, in mosaics and in literature, real success and sufficient success in art to illustrate the entity's own books. These would make for that which would be unusual, wonderful in its import there, if following those lines as indicated; giving that to others which will make a great contribution to the activities in literature, even as great as was made by Hawthorne.
4. As to the appearances in the earth, as may be indicated from the experiences, these have been quite varied and these have been quite different.
5. For in the one before this it was not as a materialized
5353-1 Page 2
individual but as a soul-entity working with a great soul.
6. But in the experience before that we find the entity was in the periods during the first of the English interest in the Crusades. There we find the entity among the Monks who were interested in activities especially that had to do with the preparations of houses, home, shrines, places, and special service or activities in the colored mosaic for baths and the like; but a Monk.
7. Thus we find in the experience the entity one who chooses periods and times when it must shut itself away from others, and then the periods in which there must be a greater association with others, that there may be a stemming or a loosening of the energies and the relaxing of self physically that it may attain greater vision.
8. The name then was Hekeler.
9. Before that we find the entity was in the land during the periods of the first century, first years after the Christ was in the earth. The entity was among those who were neither too hot not too cold as pertaining to the teachings but rather among those of the peoples of the Roman land who were in those fields of service in the lands of the Roman or Palestine areas, and thus acquainted with the orthodox Jews, those who were swayed by their associations with the Romans, those who were partaking of those customs of the East.
10. And thus we find the entity questioning in self as to what is the source of morality, and yet there are those abilities from these experiences in composition which would be well to apply in the present.
11. Then we find the entity was in the Persian and Arabian land.
12. Thus we find at times dress or custom as a bit out of the ordinary.
13. Here we find the entity, in the activities in the "city in the hills and the plains," acquainted with many of the activities and the customs of the peoples from the Grecian land and the teachings of the nomads as well as the Persians. The entity was then a merchant and yet becoming rather as one who drew the art of the time.
14. And thus may the mysteries of the east, as well as the interest in the psychic and the unusual be apart of the experience of the entity.
15. The name then was Henelez.
16. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those preparations of individuals for the various activities through those periods following the rebellion or the periods of building back to nearer to normalcy after the uprisings. The entity was among those
5353-1 Page 3
who were associated with buildings and especially those where precious stones were made a part of such activities.
17. The name then was Leonerder.
18. As to the abilities of the entity, then, mosaic, but most of all the ability as a writer in the pattern of Hawthorne.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) How have I been associated in past incarnations with the following, and how may I be of most help the them now: My wife [5354]? (A) These should be paralleled. We will find that there were the closer associations in Egypt and Persia. Most in the experience that didn't mean much to this entity.
21. (Q) My son, [3204]? (A) In the Persian especially, for then ye were brothers, the son was the younger, but ye worked well together.
22. (Q) My stepson, [3205]? (A) Closely associated in the Egyptian, as well as partially in the experience in the Persian and in English period.
23. (Q) My stepson, [3203]? (A) These we don't find so closely associated, knew of, but rather aloof.
24. (Q) My mother-in-law, [3006]? (A) In the Egyptian and help may come to each through cooperation in these activities.
25. We are through for the present. Two copies to [3006] Copy to Ass'n file " for indexing
