1. EC: Those relations with the universe and universal forces as are latent in the present earthly Entity.
2. In this relation there are many conditions that would be well for this Entity to clarify in own present consciousness, for the proper application of that, that may be given here concerning the earthly sojourn in the present experience and in other experiences.
3. That much has been accomplished by the Entity, much is yet to be accomplished in the present experience, and with the better understanding of the relationship of the universal forces as pertain to the innate desires. Innate experiences that come to the Entity in the form of experience in various ways, even as welling up in the inner self without finding outward expression of the self in word or deed. Yet would many of these be put into actual operative force would bring more of that peace that passeth understanding that troubles the inner self at times of this Entity.
4. In the various spheres of experience that come as interim between earthly manifestations there are those various spheres of thought that have been builded, intacted in these planes through which the Entity experienced that consciousness of being that is so desired in the physical plane of experience - and in the physical apparently finds so little through which this may be put into operation, without obstacles that seem like is beyond control.
5. Here we would find in the purely astrological aspects of this Entity, [105], that those would not conform to the charts as have been drawn by those of the Chaldean or Egyptian [word(s) missed] but rather they are the individual experience, the real experience that is the real application, or will be the factor in human experience that weigh, urges with application of knowledge known, have or desire, rarefy or expression or manifestation in the lesser or greater degree in the physical sense. Then do not get false impressions by comparing earthy or earthly material
105-2 Page 2
sense with the sense of Mercury or Venus, or that Uranian force compared with earth's forces.
6. PRESENT INCARNATION, in entering the earth plane in this present experience, we find the Entity coming under the influence of Mercury with Arcturus, of Venus with Jupiter, or Uranus with the Pleiades, hence one that has ever been considered in the present experience, of extraordinary application in literature, in understanding, in folklore, in the ability to gain possession of mind, mental or mathematical science [word(s) missed] yet same conditions bring many materially disappointing conditions on the part of many of the Entity's close friends or associates, and at times bringing disappointments in the own self, through that of deferred expression of self, to make self heard, known, felt or to raise in a manner the voice of self above the ones that depend even in mental or in carnal or in the physical sense upon the efforts of the Entity.
7. In the comparison then we find here that with the variations in the Entity's experience using that of the experience in Mercurian forces to Arcturus brings an (as?) innate force in the present experience that of not only high mental force, yet as measured with Arcturian experience, an excellency above ordinary, yet without the full innate force to impel when hindrances arise from the purely physical side having gained the mental and spiritual place to the extent that carnal mind, carnal or earthly forces shadow so many of the ideas and ideals, until the Entity falters from within.
8. In the experience as is seen through these universal forces, one that will have a long life in the present plane; one that has many joys in self and in the efforts of those guided by the Entity in attaining insight into forces that have to do with that called "Creative-Elemental-Physical-Mindedness."
9. In this sense the Entity finds the greater advantage in self through the experience of the earthy plane, hence many conditions as are seen through the Uranian influence with that of Venus brings the pure love of all forces that are of the scientific turn, as well as all occult influences upon the life not only of the mental body, but upon the entity as a body. These and the dissemination of the truths gained by the Entity in self's own material consciousness should be the work, the labor, the expression of self in this present plane, for in losing self in service for others, that have only an inkling of the oneness of life, of time, or the all-creative energy, the Entity builds in self that of the oneness with self and that universal all creative force, and will gain the consciousness of being self, yet a portion of
105-2 Page 3
that All-Creative force, which is known or called by man "God".
10. One that loves home-home ties, home influence, and this love often brings unpleasant memories, that are as the pictures the Entity finds self capable of putting into words and verse, and these are good for self and will be good for others. Ever will the Entity set this truth before self, and burn same in the innermost recesses of the being. Thoughts are things, and may be miracles or crimes in action. These come that all growth in whatever direction this thought of the mental body, or the spiritual body, may be directed by the attributes of the mental, spiritual or physical body.
11. The appearance in the one before, we find in the body when the Master came. The Entity then was in the household of the Phoenician, as a maid servant, whom the Master blessed with the household. Entity in name of "Iaundia" and the Entity gained through this period, even though fear always remained over the Entity's ability to express or manifest that desire to be giving to others, the position, physical, the mental abilities of the Entity did not coinside. In the present experience the urge is seen of the weightiness that is ever felt by the Entity of the words spoken by that Holy one, and the manner in which same has been diverted by many of the writers of same, is as a thorn in the flesh often to the Entity, yet would the Entity bring that peace that passeth understanding, clinging close to those truths as is set in the words of that one: "He that believeth in Me, or that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out, for even as I am in the Father and ye in Me, we are then one with the Father that doeth His will."
12. In the one before this we find in that period when the first understanding of the relation between the All-Creative energy to the putting aside as filial and as penal laws among the people, in the land now known as Egypt, and the time 10,500 years before the Prince of Peace came, as counted by men.
13. The Entity then in the name of "Miium" and the Entity waited on the Priest, and the Teacher that gave the lessons as laws, and as the first of those that came as the rituals of the peoples minds to the understanding of the Creative energy. In the division that arose the Entity sided first with the Priest, then with the Teacher and Ruler, and had much to do with the reconciliation that made a united service in that period. In the present urge the Entity savors often and wavers often between that of the purely mental application and of materialistic, necessary in the
105-2 Page 4
lives of carnal man to gain a lesson, hence though the Entity often denies this to self, innate there is that element of a fear of supernatural or superstition, or as some would term same. But when this is analyzed, it is not superstition, but the wavering between the elements the Entity experienced in an age when ritual and the spiritual warred in trying to express self in the word and in the deed. The Entity gained and lost through this experience.
14. In the one before this in the land known as that of Atlantis, the Entity was a teacher among the people of that period, and among those destroyed in the overflow of the land, and again will the Entity be in Earth's sphere when a change comes to same. In the name of "Isshuta" the Entity lost through this experience through fear, created in own self by that misleading when the truth was known in the present innate. Fear often hinders.
15. In the application of abilities of the present Entity this is given, lies in the dissemination of truths to those that waver, and Entity thereby gaining that inner knowledge of [word(s) missed] as [word(s) missed] in the Teacher, there will come the peace happiness and joy that goes to self in knowing that the experience, not life, is well spent and life gained more abundantly. [GD's note: The bracketed "word(s) missed" indicates the stenographer's inability to take down all the words.]
