This reading excerpt, taken from ‘life’ reading 5155-1, was given in May 1944 for a 60-year-old female (Housewife, Student of Unity). Mrs (5155) was not present for the reading.
The reading commenced with a general explanation to Mrs (5155) about how the records are chosen, and how she should be ‘slow and sure’ about her life choices:
‘In interpreting the records here, these we choose with the desire that this information may be made a helpful experience for the entity, enabling it to better fulfill the purposes for which it entered this present experience. For, experience in the earth are not perchance, but that each entity, each soul might use that environment in which it may find itself to the glory of God and to the honor of self. Thus each soul in the appearances in the earth in the present should consider this as an opportune time for each soul to so manifest that it may indeed make manifest the love of the Creative Forces or God in its activities with its fellow man.
In the experiences of this entity a composite of same makes for those conditions that bring the helpful forces for others. In this activity we find one oft considered slow in understanding or interpreting; not lack of interest, not lack of abilities, but that as has been gained by experience of the entity in the earth's plane. Slow and sure must the entity be about those choices or determinations made as respecting things, conditions, peoples, belief, tenets and the activity of the entity.’
The reading then continued with these observations, including emphasis on ‘first the analyzing of self and ideals and purposes’:
‘One endowed with a great many of those virtues which if applied properly may bring harmony. Yet, as there has been experienced in the sojourns through the earth, as well as in the present experience, there come many ups and downs. Yet if the entity will remain true to those truths and tenets (there isn't any use in raving at the other fellow), there will come to the entity surety and safety in the purpose of self and in the ideals which will gradually be applied in self, if there is first the analyzing of self and ideals and purposes, using the tenets and the teachings as were expressed by the Master of men in the sermon on the mount. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, " blessed are they who make for those things in their activity. Learn first that the Lord is one. There are not great changes, for all that ye may learn of the Father God, is already within self. For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God, and as ye meet Him there ye may gain in thine own consciousness the satisfaction of walking and talking with Him.’
The reading then addressed Mrs (5155)’s astrological influences:
‘Astrologically we find Saturn, Venus, Jupiter as the impelling forces.
We find in Saturn the great changes in those environs or surroundings, as also in tenets to which the entity may turn and has turned its attention from time to time. Thus in patience and persistence, do ye learn and become aware of thy soul being as one with God.
In Venus we find the love, the mother love, universal love, beauty and harmony. Well if the entity would learn to play stringed instruments, for harmony in the life; as the zither, guitar, the harp, the violin. And of those which appeal to the entity in the manner of music may be parts of the entity's experience in the earth, and these will aid the entity in contributing too, through the means or channels where the spoken word or writing of cards may aid others. The entity would do well in making or forming verse for Christmas greetings. These the entity might do well.’
The reading then examined four prior lifetimes for Mrs (5155) – in the US (in Virginia), prior to that in the US in ‘the Low Countries’ (coastal South Carolina and Georgia), in the land of Saad (now Saudi Arabia?), and in the Atlantean Land.
The reading then offered these comments about Mrs (5155)’s present opportunities:
‘In the purpose, in helpfulness to others, in writing, in finding first SELF, in studying to show thyself approved unto God, a workman not ashamed, rightly stressing the words of truth and keeping self unspotted from the world, we will find this experience worth while. The entity may thus attain to the consciousness of a life well spent, entering into the joy of thy Lord.’
Three questions were then asked, including these two:
‘(Q) Will I overcome death in this incarnation? (A) There is no death. Death is only overcome by Him, who has overcome death. It is our promise, and when ye abide in Him sufficient to that, ye with Him, as the resurrection, may indeed overcome death in a material sense.
(Q) Will my life in this incarnation ever get joyful and satisfactory? (A) When ye have found the voice within.’
