God moved, the spirit came into activity. In the moving it brought light, and then chaos. In this light came creation of that which in the earth came to be matter; in the spheres about the earth, space and time; and in patience it has evolved through those activities until there are the heavens and all the constellations, the stars, the universe as it is known—or sought to be known by individual soul-entities in the material plane.

Then came into the earth materiality, through the spirit pushing itself into matter. Spirit was individualized, and then became what we recognize in one another as individual entities. Spirit that uses matter, that uses every influence in the earth’s environ for the glory of the Creative Forces, partakes of and is a part of the universal consciousness.

Reading 262–119

Just so have we seen and comprehended how that there is the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the movement; as when God the First Cause—called into being light as a manifestation of the influences that would, through their movement (light movement) upon forces yet unseen, bring into being what we know as the universe—or matter; in all its forms, phases, manifestations.

Reading 262–99

When the earth became a dwelling place for matter, when gases formed into those things that man sees in nature and in activity about him, then matter began its ascent in the various forms of physical evolution—in the mind of God! The spirit chose to enter (celestial, not an earth spirit—he hadn’t come into the earth yet!), chose to put on, to become a part of that which was as a command not to be done! Then those so entering must continue through the earth until the body-mind is made perfect for the soul, or the body-celestial again.

Reading 341–1

In the days before this we find the entity was among those in the day when the forces of the Universe came together, when there was upon the waters the sound of the coming together of the Sons of God, when the morning stars sang together, and over the face of the waters there was the voice of the glory of the coming of the plane for man’s dwelling.

Reading 2497–1

In the one before this, we find in the beginning, when all forces were given in the spiritual force, and the morning stars sang together in the glory of the coming of the Lord and the God to make the giving of man’s influence and developing in the world’s forces.

Reading 294–8

. . . in the beginning, when the first of the elements were given, and the forces set in motion that brought about the sphere as we find called earth plane, and when the morning stars sang together, and the whispering winds brought the news of the coming of man’s indwelling, of the spirit of the Creator, became the living soul. This entity came into being with this multitude.

Reading 364–10

From that which has been given, it is seen that individuals in the beginning were more of thought forms than individual entities with personalities as seen in the present, and their projections into the realms of fields of thought that pertain to a developing or evolving world of matter, with the varied presentations about same, of the expressions or attributes in the various things about the entity or individual, or body, through which such science—as termed now, or such phenomena as would be termed—became manifest. Hence we find occult or psychic science, as would be called at the present, was rather the natural state of man in the beginning. Very much as (in illustration) when a baby, or babe, is born into the world and its appetite is first satisfied, and it lies sleeping. Of what is its dreams? That it expects to be, or that it has been? Of what are thoughts? That which is to be, or that which has been, or that which is? Now remember we are speaking—these were thought forms, and we are finding again the illustrations of same!

. . . These, then, are the manners in which the entities, those beings, those souls, in the beginning partook of, or developed. Some brought about monstrosities, as those of its (that entity’s) association by its projection with its association with beasts of various characters. Hence those of the Styx, satyr, and the like; those of the sea, or mermaid; those of the unicorn, and those of the various forms—these projections of what? The abilities in the psychic forces (psychic meaning, then, of the mental and the soul—doesn’t necessarily mean the body, until it’s enabled to be brought into being in whatever form it may make its manifestation—which may never be in a material world, or take form in a three-dimensional plane as the earth is; it may remain in a fourth-dimensional—which is an idea! Best definition that ever may be given of fourth-dimension is an idea! Where will it project? Anywhere! Where does it arise from? Who knows! Where will it end? Who can tell! It is all inclusive! It has both length, breadth, height and depth—is without beginning and is without ending! Dependent upon that which it may feed for its sustenance, or it may pass into that much as a thought or an idea. Now this isn’t ideal that’s said! It’s idea! see?)

In the use of these, then, in this material plane—of these forces—brought about those that made for all manners of the various forms that are used in the material world today. Many of them to a much higher development. As those that sought forms of minerals—and being able to be that the mineral was, hence much more capable—in the psychic or occult force, or power—to classify, or make same in its own classifications. Who classified them? They were from the beginning! They are themselves! They were those necessities as were in the beginning from an all wise Creator! for remember these came, as did that as was to be the keeper of same! The husbandman of the vineyard! Each entity, each individual—today, has its own vineyard to keep, to dress—For who? Its Maker, from whence it came! What is to be the report in thine own life with those abilities, those forces, as may be manifest in self—through its calling upon, through what? How does prayer reach the throne of mercy or grace, or that from which it emanates? From itself! Through that of crucifying, nullifying, the carnal mind and opening the mental in such a manner that the Spirit of truth may flow in its psychic sense, or occult force, into the very being, that you may be one with that from which you came! Be thou faithful unto that committed into thy keeping! Life itself is precious! For why? It is of the Maker itself! That is the beginning! The psychic forces, the attunements, the developments, going to that! As did many in that experience. And Enoch walked with God, and he was not for God took him. As was many of those in those first years, in this land, this experience.

(Q) (General question) Please explain the existence of darkness before the existence of light.

(A) This has just been explained, to those who will read that given! That man, or war, or sin, or separation in glory of those that were heedless. Then, that there might be the way for those—What has been given as the most meaning of all that written? He has not willed that any soul should perish, but from the beginning has prepared a way of escape! What, then, is the meaning of the separation?

Bringing into being the various phases that the soul may find in its manifested forms the consciousness and awareness of its separation, and itself, by that through which it passes in all the various spheres of its awareness. Hence the separation, and light and darkness. Darkness, that it had separated—that a soul had separated itself from the light. Hence He called into being Light, that the awareness began. Hence we look out and see the heavens, the stars; and, as the psalmist has said: “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth his handiwork, as day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge.”

(Q) Comment upon the following. Is it worthy of expansion; that is, does it carry any light of truth? The Creator, in seeking to find or create a being worthy of companionship, realized that such a being would result only from a free will exercising its divine inheritance and through its own efforts find its Maker. Thus, to make the choice really a Divine one caused the existence of states of consciousness, that would indeed tax the free will of a soul; thus light and darkness. Truly, only those tried so as by fire can enter in.

(A) The only variation that we would make is that all souls in the beginning were one with the Father. The separation, or turning away, brought evil. Then there became the necessity of the awareness of self’s being out of accord with, or out of the realm of blessedness; and, as given of the Son, “yet learned he obedience through the things which he suffered.”

Reading 281–42

As an illustration (this merely illustrating, now): It is hard for an individual, no matter how learned he may be, to conceive of the activities that exist only three miles above the earth. Why? Because there are no faculties within the individual entity in the present capable of conceiving that which is not represented within his individual self.

Yea—but the individual of that period was not so closely knit in matter. Thus the activities of the realms of relativity of force, relativity of attraction in the universe, were an experience of the souls manifesting in the earth at that period, see?

Thus we find that the experiences of individuals of the period, seeking for the understanding as to the evolution of the souls of men, might be compared to the minds of individuals in the present who are seeking an understanding as to man’s use of physical or atomical structure in his own relationships.

Then, the individual of that experience or period was not necessarily one other than a soul or entity seeking the knowledge as to the relationship of that which would sustain and gain for man the abilities not only to continue the physical evolution but the spiritual or soul evolution as well.

Reading 518–1

Before that we find the entity was in the Atlantean land during those periods when there were the separations of the peoples from the high and the low estates of the varied developments that were in that period of man’s experience in the earth, when there were the sons of the High; or, as given in holy writ, “The Sons of God looked upon the daughters of men.”

The entity was among the sons of God, yet looking upon the daughters of men and making of self in those associations those periods when faith was broken with others, and when there was the belittling of the tenets and the truths in the powers that had been given among those peoples for the manifesting of that which would cleanse their souls that they might be one with the Creative Forces in this material world and in the spiritual forces also.

Reading 294–189

For when the purposes of an entity or soul are the more and more in accord with that for which the entity has entered, then the soul-entity may take hold upon that which may bring to its remembrance that it was, where, when and how. Thinkest thou that the grain of corn has forgotten what manner of expression it has given?

Think thou that any of the influences in nature that you see about you—the acorn, the oak, the elm, or the vine, or anything—has forgotten what manner of expression? Only man forgets! And it is only in His mercy that such was brought about. For what was the first cause? Knowledge—knowledge! What then is that cut off in the beginnings of the Sons of God? Becoming entangled with the daughters of men, and the Daughters of God becoming entangled with the sons of men! As in Adam they forgot what manner of men they were! Only when he lives, he manifests that life that is the expression of the divine, may man begin to know who, where, what and when he was! That there may be read from the records of God’s Book of Remembrance, as from here, in the keepers of the records, is true—if thy purpose, thy desire, in heart, in soul, is for the love of God as may be manifested among the sons of men; but these may read only by those in the shadows of His love.

Reading 262–119

(Q) Explain the “Sons of God—Daughters of Men—Sons of Man.”

(A) This, too, has been given again and again. As has been indicated through other associations, the influences of those souls that sought material expression pushed themselves into thought forms in the earth. And owing to the earth’s relative position with the activities in this particular sphere of activity in the universe, it was chosen as the place for expression. Think—universe, eternity, time, space! What do these mean to the finite mind? More often than otherwise they are just names. More often we think of spirit as just a name, rather than experiencing it. Yet we use it, we manifest it, we are a part of it. Taking thought doesn’t change anything! It is the application of the thought taken that makes the change within ourselves! Then, as those expressed they were called the Sons of the Earth or Sons of Man.

When the Creative Forces, God, made then the first man—or God-man—he was the beginning of the Sons of God. Then those souls who entered through a channel made by God—not by thought, not by desire, not by lust, not by things that separated continually—were the Sons of God, the Daughters of God.

The Daughters of Men, then, were those who became the channels through which lust knew its activity; and it was in this manner then that the conditions were expressed as given of old, that the Sons of God looked upon the Daughters of Men and saw that they were fair, and lusted! What did the Christ say? “Ye say in the law that ye shall not commit adultery. I say unto you, he that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery already!” Understandest thou? Then, what did it mean? Only that such channels offered ways and means for the expression of those influences claimed by Satan, the Devil, the Evil One, as his. But He, the only begotten of the Father, the Christ, has become the Way, the Light, the Truth, the Water, the Bread, the Vine! and all of those are of Him who become channels for manifesting, or through which there may be those expressions that are of love and faith and hope! Hence the two influences that are ever before thee; good and evil, life and death; choose thou!

Reading 257–201

For that is the purpose of the soul’s being in the beginning. Hence without beginning, without end.

Hence as we find, when souls sought or found manifestation in materiality by the projection of themselves into matter—as became thought forms—and when this had so enticed the companions or souls of the Creator, first we had then the creation in which “God breathed into man (God-made) the breath of life and he became a living soul,” with the abilities to become godlike.

Hence we find the first preparation or estate, or manner in which those souls might through material manifestation acclaim—by the living, by the being—that which was and is and ever will be consistent with the purposes of creation—was given into the estate of man. [Atlantis?]

The entity was among those first who through those channels came into consciousness, awareness of the relationships of the material man to the Creative Forces; that came into material activity during the early portions of man’s consciousness of being an independent entity, or body, in a material existence. [Atlantis?]

The position as the continent Atlantis occupied, is that as between the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand—and the Mediterranean upon the other. Evidences of this lost civilization are to be found in the Pyrenees and Morocco on the one hand, British Honduras, Yucatan and America upon the other. There are some protruding portions within this that must have at one time or another been a portion of this great continent. The British West Indies or the Bahamas, and a portion of same that may be seen in the present—if the geological survey would be made in some of these—especially, or notably, in Bimini and in the Gulf Stream through this vicinity, these may be even yet determined.

What, then, are the character of the peoples? To give any proper conception, may we follow the line of a group, or an individual line, through this continent’s existence—and gain from same something of their character, their physiognomy, and their spiritual and physical development.

In the period, then—some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand years before the entry of Ram into India—there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had first noted that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth’s sphere or plane of those peoples into male and female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the physical sense, these were much rather of the nature of thought forms, or able to push out of themselves in that direction in which its development took shape in thought—much in the way and manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became hardened or set—much in the form of the existent human body of the day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form as the red, or the mixture peoples—or colors; known then later by the associations as the red race. These, then, able to use in their gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their individual surroundings, passing through those periods of developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow, the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion of the globe than in others—and while the destruction of this continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains—as has that influence of those peoples in that life of those peoples to whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or influence the lives of those peoples to whom they came. As they may in the present, either through the direct influence of being regenerated, or re-incarnated into the earth, or through that of the mental application on through the influences as may be had upon thought of individuals or groups by speaking from that environ.

In the manner of living, in the manner of the moral, of the social, of the religious life of these peoples: There, classes existed much in the same order as existed among others; yet the like of the warlike influence did not exist in the peoples—as a people—as it did in the other portions of the universe.

Reading 262–57

(Q) Please explain the statement given in Genesis, “In six days God made the heaven and the earth and rested the seventh day.”

(A) That each may interpret this to his own comprehension is rather that each becomes aware of the power of the Father in His manifestations in the earth. When it is considered (as was later given, or written even before this was written) that “a thousand years is as but a day and a day as but a thousand years in the sight of the Lord,” then it may be comprehended that this was colored by the writer in his desire to express to the people the power of the living God—rather than a statement of six days as man comprehends days in the present. Not that it was an impossibility—but rather that men under the environ should be impressed by the omnipotence of that they were called on to worship as God.

Reading 5748–1

Yes, we have the work here and that phase concerning the indwelling in the earth’s plane of those who first gave laws concerning indwelling of Higher Forces in man. In giving such in an understandable manner to man of today, [it is] necessary that the conditions of the earth’s surface and the position of man in the earth’s plane be understood, for the change has come often since this period, era, age, of man’s earthly indwelling, for then at that period, only the lands now known as the Sahara and the Nile region appeared on the now African shores; that in Tibet, Mongolia, Caucasia and Norway in Asia and Europe; that in the southern cordilleras and Peru in the southwestern hemisphere and the plane of now Utah, Arizona, Mexico of the north-western hemisphere, and the spheres were then in the latitudes much as are presented at the present time.

The man’s indwelling [was] then in the Sahara and the upper Nile regions, the waters then entering the now Atlantic from the Nile region rather than flowing northward. The waters in the Tibet and Caucasian entering the North Sea, those in Mongolia entering the South Seas, those in the cordilleras entering the Pacific, those in the plateau entering the Northern Seas.

When the earth brought forth the seed in her season, and man came in the earth plane as the lord of that in that sphere, man appeared in five places then at once—the five senses, the five reasons, the five spheres, the five developments, the five nations.

Reading 900–227

The earth and the universe, as related to man, came into being through the mind—mind—of the Maker, and, as such, has its same being much as each atomic force multiplies in itself, or, as worlds are seen and being made in the present period, and as same became (earth we are speaking of) an abode for man, man entered as man, through the mind of the Maker, see? in the form of flesh man; that which carnally might die, decay, become dust, entering into material conditions. The Spirit the gift of God, that man might be One with Him, with the concept of man’s creative forces throughout the physical world. Man, in Adam (as a group; not as an individual), entered into the world (for he entered in five places at once, we see—called Adam in one, see?), and as man’s concept became to that point wherein man walked not after the ways of the Spirit but after the desires of the flesh sin entered—that is, away from the Face of the Maker, see? and death then became man’s portion, spiritually, see? for the physical death existed from the beginning; for to create one must die, see? In this, then, there is seen, as the body, in the flesh, of the Christ, became perfect in the flesh, in the world, and the body laid aside on the Cross, in the tomb, the physical body moved away, through that as man will know as dimensions, and the Spirit able then to take hold of that Being in the way as it enters again into the body, and as it presents itself to the world, to individuals at the time and to man at present.

Reading 364–9

(Q) Was Atlantis one of the five points at which man appeared in the beginning, being the home of the red race?

(A) One of the five points. As has been given, in what is known as Gobi, India, in Carpathia [?], or in that known as the Andes, and that known as in the western plain of what is now called America—the five places. In their presentation, as we find, these—in the five places, as man (Let’s get the difference in that as first appeared in what is known as Atlantis, and that as man appearing from those projections in the five places—and, as has been given, from their environ took on that as became necessary for the meeting of those varying conditions under which their individualities and personalities began to put on form)—one in the white, another in the brown, another in the black, another in the red. These, as we find, taking that form—Would snow be the place for the black? or the sun the place for the white? or the desert and the hills for either the white or black? as were partakers of those things that brought about those variations in that which enters, or becomes as the outer presentation, or the skin, or the pigment that is presented in same.

GC: You will have before you the material, or information, given through this channel on the Lost Continent of Atlantis, a copy of which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions which I will ask regarding this:

EC: Yes, we have the information as has been transcribed here. Ready for questions.

(Q) How is the legend of Lilith connected with the period of Amilius?

(A) In the beginning, as was outlined, there was presented that that became as the Sons of God, in that male and female were as one, with those abilities for those changes as were able or capable of being brought about. In the changes that came from those things, as were of the projections of the abilities of those entities to project, this as a being came as the companion; and when there was that turning to the within, through the sources of creation, as to make for the helpmeet of that as created by the first cause, or of the Creative Forces that brought into being that as was made, then—from out of self—was brought that as was to be the helpmeet, not just companion of the body. Hence the legend of the associations of the body during that period before there was brought into being the last of the creations, which was not of that that was not made, but the first of that that was made, and a helpmeet to the body, that there might be no change in the relationship of the sons of God with those relationships of the sons and daughters of men. In this then, also comes that as is held by many who have reached especially to that understanding of how necessary, then, becomes the proper mating of those souls that may be the answers one to another of that that may bring, through that association, that companionship, into being that that may be the more helpful, more sustaining, more the well-rounded life or experience of those that are a portion one of another. Do not misinterpret, but knowing that all are of one—yet there are those divisions that make for a closer union, when there are the proper relationships brought about. As an illustration, in this: In the material world we find there is in the mineral kingdom those elements that are of the nature as to form a closer union one with another, and make as for compounds as make for elements that act more in unison with, or against, other forms of activity in the experience in the earth’s environ, or the earth’s force, as makes for those active forces in the elements that are about the earth. Such as we may find in those that make for the active forces in that of uranium, and that of ultramarine, and these make then for an element that becomes the more active force as with the abilities for the rates of emanation as may be thrown off from same. So, as illustrated in the union, then, of—in the physical compounds—that as may vibrate, or make for emanations in the activities of their mental and spiritual, and material, or physical forces, as may make for a greater activity in this earth environ. Then, there may be seen that as is in an elemental, or compound, that makes for that as is seen in the material experience as to become an antipathy for other elements that are as equally necessary in the experience of man’s environ as in the combination of gases as may produce whenever combined that called water, and its antipathy for the elements in combustion is easily seen or known in man’s experience. So in those unions of that in the elemental forces of creative energies that take on the form of man, either in that of man or woman, with its natural or elemental, see? elemental forces of its vibration, with the union of two that vibrate or respond to those vibrations in self, create for that ideal that becomes as that, in that created, in the form—as is known as radium, with its fast emittal vibrations, that brings for active forces, principles, that makes for such atomic forces within the active principles of all nature in its active force as to be one of the elemental bases from which life in its essence, as an active principle in a material world, has its sources, give off that which is ever good—unless abused, see? So in that may there be basis for those forces, as has been, as is sought, thought, or attained by those who have, through the abilities of the vibrations, to make for a continued force in self as to meet, know, see, feel, understand, those sources from which such begets that of its kind, or as those that become as an antipathy for another, or as makes for those that makes for the variations in the tempering of the various elements, compounds, or the like; so, as is seen, these—then—the basis for those things as has been given here, there, in their various ways and manners, as to the companion of, and companions of, that that first able—through its projection of itself and its abilities in the creation—to bring about that that was either of its own making, or creation, or that given in the beginning to be the force through which there might be that that would bring ever blessings, good, right, and love, in even the physical or material world. See?

(Q) How long did it take for the division into male and female?

(A) That depends upon which, or what branch or line is considered. When there was brought into being that as of the projection of that created by that created, this took a period of evolutionary—or, as would be in the present year, fourscore and six year. That as brought into being as was of the creating of that that became a portion of, of that that was already created by the creator, that brought into being as were those of the forces of nature itself. God said, “Let there be light” and there was light! God said, “Let there be life” and there was life!

(Q) Were the thought forms that were able to push themselves out of themselves inhabited by souls, or were they of the animal kingdom?

(A) That as created by that created, of the animal kingdom. That created as by the Creator, with the soul . . .

(Q) Please give the important re-incarnations of Adam in the world’s history.

(A) In the beginning as Amilius, as Adam, as Melchizedek, as Zend [?], as Ur [?] [Enoch? GD’s note: Perhaps Ur was prehistory person [364–9, Par. 3-A] who established Ur of the Chaldees? I don’t think he was mentioned anywhere else in the readings as an incarnation of Jesus.], as Asaph [?] [Songs of Asaph? See Ps. 81:5 indicating that Joseph and Asaph were one and the same?], as Jesus [Jeshua]—Joseph—Jesus. [See 364–9, Par. 3-A.] Then, as that coming into the world in the second coming—for He will come again and receive His own, who have prepared themselves through that belief in Him and acting in that manner; for the spirit is abroad, and the time draws near, and there will be the reckoning of those even as in the first so in the last, and the last shall be first; for there is that Spirit abroad—He standeth near. He that hath eyes to see, let him see. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear that music of the coming of the Lord of this vineyard, and art thou ready to give account of that thou hast done with thine opportunity in the earth as the Sons of God, as the heirs and joint heirs of glory with the Son? Then make thine paths straight, for there must come an answering for that thou hast done with thine Lord! He will not tarry, for having overcome He shall appear even as the Lord and Master. Not as one born, but as one that returneth to His own, for He will walk and talk with men of every clime, and those that are faithful and just in their reckoning shall be caught up with Him to rule and to do judgment for a thousand years!

Reading 364–6

(Q) How large was Atlantis during the time of Amilius?

(A) Comparison, that of Europe including Asia in Europe—not Asia, but Asia in Europe—see? This composed, as seen, in or after the first of the destructions, that which would be termed now—with the present position—the southernmost portion of same—islands as created by those of the first (as man would call) volcanic or eruptive forces brought into play in the destruction of same.

(Q) Was Atlantis one large continent, or a group of large islands?

(A) Would it not be well to read just that given? Why confuse in the questionings? As has been given, what would be considered one large continent, until the first eruptions brought those changes—from what would now, with the present position of the earth in its rotation, or movements about its sun, through space, about Arcturus, about the Pleiades, that of a whole or one continent. Then with the breaking up, producing more of the nature of large islands, with the intervening canals or ravines, gulfs, bays or streams, as came from the various elemental forces that were set in motion by this charging—as it were—of the forces that were collected as the basis for those elements that would produce destructive forces, as might be placed in various quarters or gathering places of those beasts, or the periods when the larger animals roved the earth—with that period of man’s indwelling. Let it be remembered, or not confused, that the earth was peopled by animals before peopled by man! First that of a mass, which there arose the mist, and then the rising of same with light breaking over that as it settled itself, as a companion of those in the universe, as it began its natural (or now natural) rotations, with the varied effects upon the various portions of same, as it slowly—and is slowly—receding or gathering closer to the sun, from which it receives its impetus for the awakening of the elements that give life itself, by radiation of like elements from that which it receives from the sun. Hence that of one type, that has been through the ages, of mind—that gives the sun as the father of light in the earth. Elements have their attraction and detraction, or those of animosity and those of gathering together. This we see throughout all of the kingdoms, as may be termed, whether we speak of the heavenly hosts or of those of the stars, or of the planets, or of the various forces within any or all of same, they have their attraction or detraction. The attraction increases that as gives an impulse, that that becomes the aid, the stimuli, or an impulse to create. Hence, as may be seen—or may be brought to man’s own—that of attraction one for another gives that stimuli, that impulse, to be the criterion of, or the gratification of, those influences in the experience of individuals or entities. To smother same oft becomes deteriorations for each other, as may come about in any form, way or manner. Accidents happen in creation, as well as in individuals’ lives! Peculiar statement here, but—true!

(Q) Are the places designated for the beginning of the five races correct?

(A) As we find, these are changed, in that: Those in the Gobi, the yellow. The white—rather in the Carpathians than India, though this is the change to which they are made. The red, of course, in the Atlantean and in the American. The brown in the Andean. The black in the plain and the Sudan, or in African.

(Q) Where was the Carpathian region?

(A) Aarat.

(Q) Where is the location? Is it on the map today?

(A) Southern part of Europe and Russia, and Persia and that land. Caucasian mountains.

(Q) Why was the number five selected for the projection of the five races?

(A) This, as we find, is that element which represents man in his physical form, and the attributes to which he may become conscious from the elemental or spiritual to the physical consciousness. As the senses; as the sensing of the various forces that bring to man the activities in the sphere in which he finds himself. This, to be sure, may be expanded upon. This must bear in the same relation to that as did exist, to the promise that He will come again. Does any individual group think of themselves so exalted as that only to one peoples will He appear as in the beginning, so shall it ever be, that man’s indwelling must recognize that not only must his desires carnally be crucified, but all elements that make for the awareness of the spiritual manifestations in the material plane!

(Q) Did the appearance of what became the five races occur simultaneously?

(A) Occurred at once.

(Q) Describe the earth’s surface at the period of the appearance of the five projections.

(A) This has been given. In the first, or that known as the beginning, or in the Caucasian and Carpathian, or the Garden of Eden, in that land which lies now much in the desert, yet much in mountain and much in the rolling lands there. The extreme northern portions were then the southern portions, or the polar regions were then turned to where they occupied more of the tropical and semi-tropical regions; hence it would be hard to discern or disseminate the change. The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What is now the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin, was then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the regions that are now portions of Nevada, Utah and Arizona formed the greater part of what we know as the United States. That along the Atlantic board formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of Atlantis. The Andean, or the Pacific coast of South America, occupied then the extreme western portion of Lemuria. The Urals and the northern regions of same were turned into a tropical land. The desert in the Mongolian land was then the fertile portion. This may enable you to form some concept of the status of the earth’s representations at that time! The oceans were then turned about; they no longer bear their names, yet from whence obtained they their names? What is the legend, even, as to their names?

(Q) Are the following the correct places? Atlantean, the red.

(A) Atlantean and American, the red race.

(Q) Upper Africa for the black?

(A) Or what would be known now as the more western portion of upper Egypt for the black. You see, with the changes—when there came the uprisings in the Atlantean land, and the sojourning southward—with the turning of the axis, the white and yellow races came more into that portion of Egypt, India, Persia and Arabia.

(Q) There was no original projection in upper India?

(A) This was a portion rather of the white and the yellow as represented. Let these represent the attributes of the physical, or the senses and what forms they take, rather than calling them white, black, yellow, red and green, etc. What do they signify in the sensing? Sight, vision—white. Feeling—red. Black—gratifying of appetites in the senses. Yellow—mingling in the hearing. What is the law of the peoples that these represent? Their basic thoughts run to those elements!

(Q) Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs and costumes of the people of Atlantis during the period just before this first destruction.

(A) These, as we find, will require their being separated in the gradual development of the body and its physiognomy as it came into being in the various portions of that land, as well as to those that would separate themselves from those peoples where there were the indwelling of peoples, or man—as man, in the various areas of the land, or what we call world. In the matter of form, as we find, first there were those as projections from that about the animal kingdom; for the thought bodies gradually took form, and the various combinations (as may be called) of the various forces that called or classified themselves as gods, or rulers over—whether herds, or fowls, or fishes, etc.—in part that kingdom and part of that as gradually evolved into a physiognomy much in the form of the present day may (were one chosen of those that were, or are, the nearest representative of the race of peoples that existed in this first period as the first destructions came about). These took on many sizes as to stature, from that as may be called the midget to the giants—for there were giants in the earth in those days, men as tall as (what would be termed today) ten to twelve feet in stature, and in proportion—well proportioned throughout. The ones that became the most useful were those as would be classified (or called in the present) as the ideal stature, that was of both male and female (as those separations had been begun); and the most ideal (as would be called) was Adam, who was in that period when he (Adam) appeared as five in one—See? In this the physiognomy was that of a full head, with an extra eye—as it were—in those portions that became what is known as the eye. In the beginning these appeared in whatever portion was desired by the body for its use! As for the dress, those in the beginning were (and the Lord made for them coats) of the skins of the animals. These covered the parts of their person that had become, then, as those portions of their physiognomy that had brought much of the desires that made for destructive forces in their own experience; and these then were of those about them that were given as meat, or used as same—that partook of the herbs. These were those same herbs that the seed were to have been for food for the man in self, and only those that partook of same may be called even clean—in the present day. Those that supply those same materials that are the proper building for the forces within the anatomical forces, or physiological forces, of a developing body; for these carry all the elements in their natural state. Little of minerals should ever be the properties within the system, save as may be taken through the vegetable forces, save where individuals have so laxed themselves as to require or need that which will make for an even balance of same.

(Q) Explain the information given regarding Amilius [?], who first noted the separation of the peoples into male and female, as it relates to the story in the Bible of Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden giving the name of the symbols Adam, Eve, the apple, and the serpent.

(A) This would require a whole period of a lecture period for this alone; for, as is seen, that as is given is the presentation of a teacher of a peoples that separated for that definite purpose of keeping alive in the minds, the hearts, the soul minds of entities, that there may be seen their closer relationship to the divine influences of Creative Forces, that brought into being all that appertains to man’s indwelling as man in the form of flesh in this material world. These are presented in symbols of that thought as held by those peoples from whom the physical recorder took those records as compiled, with that gained by himself in and through the entering into that state where the entity’s soul mind drew upon the records that are made by the passing of time itself in a material world. As given, these are records not only of the nature as has been termed or called akashic records (that is, of a mental or soul record), but that in a more material nature as set down in stone, that was attempted to be done—has been attempted to be done throughout all time! Why does man now set in stone those that are representatives of that desired to be kept in mind by those making records for future generations? There are many more materials more lasting, as is known to many. In the records, then, as this: There are, as seen, the records made by the man in the mount, that this Amilius [?]—Adam, as given—first discerned that from himself, not of the beasts about him, could be drawn—was drawn—that which made for the propagation of beings in the flesh, that made for that companionship as seen by creation in the material worlds about same. The story, the tale (if chosen to be called such), is one and the same. The apple, as ‘the apple of the eye’, the desire of that companionship innate in that created, as innate in the Creator, that brought companionship into the creation itself. Get that one! In this there comes, then, that which is set before that created—or having taken on that form, able of projecting itself in whatever direction it chose to take, as given; able to make itself of that environ, in color, in harmony, in whatever source that makes for the spirit of that man would attempt to project in music, in art, in any form that may even be conceivable to the mind itself in what may be termed its most lucid moments, in its most esoteric moments, in its highest animation moments; for were He not the son of the living God made manifest, that He might be the companion in a made world, in material manifested things, with the injunction to subdue all, bring all in the material things under subjection—all under subjection—by that ability to project itself in its way? knowing itself, as given, to be a portion of the whole, in, through, of, by the whole? In this desire, then, keep—as the injunction was—thine self separate: of that seen, but not that seen. The apple, then, that desire for that which made for the associations that bring carnal-minded influences of that brought as sex influence, known in a material world, and the partaking of same is that which brought the influence in the lives of that in the symbol of the serpent, that made for that which creates the desire that may be only satisfied in gratification of carnal forces, as partake of the world and its influences about same—rather than of the spiritual emanations from which it has its source. Will control—inability of will control, if we may put it in common parlance.

(Q) What is meant by automatons who labored in that experience? Were they individual souls developing, or was it spiritual evolution?

(A) Both, and neither. They were the offspring of the Sons of God with the Daughters of Men, or vice versa.

(Q) It is given in the horoscope reading, the entity’s first appearance on earth was when the Sons of God came together to reason in the elements as to the appearance of man in physical on earth’s plane. Explain what is meant by the Sons of God and how they came to reason about man’s appearance on earth.

(A) In the evolution of those conditions relating to the development upon earth’s plane, and the time came for the dwelling of man in physical forces, the Sons of God came together. As is given, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning. All those forces that, co-related, make the Universal Forces in the spheres about the earth were brought together, as in one. This entity, in its present earth plane, one among that sphere, and able in the present sphere (earth plane) to co-relate through that Divine in the entity to manifest such conditions in an earth plane. As this force, then, became manifested in the earth’s forces (material forces), this entity became one manifest in the flesh, presently known in flesh as [137]. These conditions, as we find, come with those relative forces of the spirit manifest in the spirit.
