      “Hence, as there continued to be the rebellions and the exodus of the peoples from Atlantis before the final destruction, the entity [Hept-supht]—becoming interested in those activities of the Egyptian priest—got himself embroiled with what was going on in Egypt more than Atlantis.”

      But before Hept-supht left Alta for Egypt, many changes had taken place in Egypt, many that would call on Hept-supht’s skill communicating with people of different views and manners. He arrived in Egypt shortly after two rebellions and after the high priest had returned from banishment and was reestablishing himself.

      Cayce told the story this way:

      “With the return of the high priest, which came at the same time or days in which the entity Hept-supht established itself [sic] as a native of Egypt, the entity began to work with the high priest, the native co-ruler [Aarat], and the young king [son of Arart, who both banished and reinstated Ra-Ta] to bring order out of the general chaos that existed through these troublesome turmoils and periods; and aided the most in directing those that began to be the heads of the various departments in the establishing of the truths or tenets, or practical application of the laws (as would be termed in the present) pertaining to those things that made for chemistry, building, commerce, labor, economic conditions, then the schools, the educational centers, and the varied activities that would be classified in such experiences in the present day—the arts, in the broader sense; as workers in precious stones, silver, gold, and the more delicate metals that required the more intrinsic activity of individuals—and music, and the instruments thereof, the recordings of the varied activities necessary that they might be handed down.

      “Hence, of particular interest to the entity is the manner in which a record is kept of the activities of every branch of man’s mental or spiritual activity. For, the entity then aided in these directly; hence came in contact, in direct touch with all those who headed or aided in mental or physical activity to produce that which would be helpful to the coming generations in retaining and maintaining that standard set by those as they had journeyed along the way.”

      “Hence the entity aided the priest in activity, but he aided the populace the more. And, as we have given, aided much in the records; not only of the period but as to how the varied activities were to be in the land pertaining to the records of that which was to be, as well as that which had been, and the records in that monument or tomb or pyramid yet to be opened [the Hall of Records, more on this in a later chapter]. Records also of those that were transferred from the destruction of the Atlantean land. For, the entity was still in charge of these records when the last of the peoples of Atlantis journeyed to the various quarters of the globe; but Alta, Zeus, Zephyrus, and the recorder of Alta were friends, associates—yea, descendents in the flesh with and of the same as the entity.”

      This last comment refers to a set of Atlantean records carved on stone tablets that were under the care of Hept-supht. Also, the last comments reveal how spirit-mind gods were manifesting in the “flesh” dimension or 3-D physical world. This was a strange time, one that we today consider to be mythology, but from Cayce’s perspective they were real beings, events, and activities. Even Jesus affirmed that we are gods (John 10:34), referring to Psalm 82:6, “You are gods, all of you are sons (and daughters) of the Most High.” Long, long ago we were all made in the image of God, and as many ancient cultures record, we were the children of God, godlings within the infinite God. However, as materiality and physicality took an increasingly dominant place in our consciousness and perception, we became almost totally consumed by our physical form and nature, losing the godly as it dropped into deep, unconscious levels of our minds. Cayce prophesied that we will soon regain the awareness we had in prehistoric Atlantis and Lemuria.

      The reincarnated soul who had been Hept-supht asked Cayce to give him an idea of how powerful he once was:

      “(Q) Give in detail the psychic powers he developed at that time?

      “(A) This would almost be impossible. To put such into words would be as impractical as it would be to describe what the multiple of colors as related to vibrations brings, reduced to its eleventh or nth degree.”

      What a curious comment by Cayce. In one of the Atlantis Series readings (340 series), Cayce stated that high psychic ability was so natural to Atlanteans that we today could barely comprehend such an existence! Apparently, Hept-supht had this level of psychic awareness and power. Can we image a condition in which we would know the thoughts of everyone around us, the location of people at great distances from us, the movements of nature, the weather, the trees, the animals—and even influence them with our minds? Cayce continued:

      “Yet, as may be seen from that given, psychic is so often misconstrued. For, it is of the mental or soul, and was that which was mostly employed in the experience by the entity, when it would be compared to the materiality that is necessarily employed in this material age—or in an age when ‘Only that I may see, or touch, or feel, or taste, do I comprehend.’ ”

      In several readings Cayce stated that, as difficult as it may be for us to accept, the “unseen forces” are more powerful than the seen. The mind is so much more powerful than we know today. As even Jesus pointed out: “If you had the faith and did not doubt, you could say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and it would done.” (Matthew 21:21) Few of us believe that today.

      Let’s read one more of Hept-supht’s readings before analyzing them further. Gladys notes on her steno pad that the suggestion given to Cayce was, “Soul-mind seeking further information on his Egyptian incarnation as Hept-supht and its influence in the present. Questions.” After this suggestion, Cayce, in trance, repeated the suggestion and then said, “Hept-supht—Help Keep It Shut,” revealing for us the meaning of this strange, ancient name. The reading then proceeded:

      “Yes, we have the entity, the soul-mind and the experiences in the earth of [378], as known in the present. [Numbers replaced personal names in the files to provide privacy.]

      “Ready for questions.

      “(Q) Give spiritual help to develop the psychic powers, which will enable me to become a fitting channel for God’s work, now.

      “(A) In the application of that which has been the experience of a soul through sojourns in the earth, these should not be taken only for their historical setting.”

      From Cayce’s trance state, past-life information is not just for the historical perspective or to know who we were but for the wholeness of our soul and the awakening of our larger mind, one that has a broader memory complex than a single incarnation on earth. Our soul also has a bigger mission than our single incarnate life.

      “As the entity in the present makes the application, or sets in motion the experiences of self in its contact with those [past-life] influences that may be contacted, so will the growth be; so will there be unfolded to the entity those experiences throughout its own appearances, not as to the histology or the genealogical conditions but that which is much deeper—or that known as individuality. And so does growth come.”

      Next, Cayce states it clearly: “As we apply, make use of, set past-life knowledge and influence in motion, then more comes to us. As more comes, we grow in our understanding, our deeper understanding, not our historical or genealogical knowledge. Or, as we have given as to how a soul becomes conscious, aware, of its contact with the universal-cosmic-God-Creative Forces in its experience; by feeding upon the food, the fruits, the results of spirit, of God, of Life, of Reality: Love, hope, kindness, gentleness, brotherly love, patience. These make for the awareness in the soul of its relationship to the creative force that is manifest in self, in the ego, in the I AM of each soul, and of I AM СКАЧАТЬ
