(Bert C.: “My true feelings, despite what I might project consciously?”)

(Bert C.: “I think I understand then, that all of these different levels of my consciousness are being communicated — not only by me consciously, but also telepathically.”)

You have always been involved with questions concerning good and evil, and you had two existences in two civilizations in Egypt. In one of these your friend over here (Bert C.) was involved. It is too late to go into that incarnation this evening and besides neither of you are ready to benefit from it yet. It is not a fascinating story to be told only for your enjoyment, but it will help when you can understand it.

As Ruburt would put it, your sidekick over here (Jim’s wife, Jean) did not go along with your ideas at all in that life. She was a male at that time, however, and you were a female and a priestess. So was your friend (Bert C.). As a male in that life she had an expanding effect upon your personality, but you were very given to ritual and a belief in magic acts, and to the idea that existence in itself was evil and wrong. You were indeed a member of the sect now called Gnostic.
