1. EC: We have the body and those relations with the universal forces as are latent in the present entity's sojourn in the earth's plane.
2. In entering we find the entity comes under the influence of Jupiter and Mercury with benevolent influences in Uranus and in Venus; hence we will find there will be many unusual conditions as will surround those influences as will be exhibited in the life of the entity. Yet as we find, there is also presented, through those cosmic influences and through the astrological conditions, those of the warnings as would be presented for the development of the mental, the physical and the spiritual influences as will become manifested through urges as will be exhibited in this body. Principally these have to do with those conditions regarding temper and the exercising of same as regards the will's influence. Not, then, that the will of the entity shall be broken but that same shall be guided in those directions that will bring the more benevolent and more powerful influence in the life through the Jupiterian influence.
3. Again we find that there will appear the square of those conditions between Mars and Uranus with Jupiter in the twelfth year in which the warning is especially against the relations of the entity as regarding firearms. For, as will be seen from the appearances in the earth's plane and those influences as were brought to bear, there will be the necessity of the correct influence towards same rather than that bringing detrimental influence or misunderstanding of the correct application of self toward those conditions.
4. As we find these greater influences are to be the ruling forces in the development of the entity:
5. There appears, as we see, the greater influence in Jupiter and in Mercury, with the benevolent influence in Uranus which becomes as exceptional conditions in the urges;
142-1 Page 2
being then very decided in the likes and dislikes, being inclined toward those conditions and positions of estate and of high mental and physical influence; inclined then toward aspiring to same through the abilities of the mental.
6. Hence the injunction as is given toward the direction of the will's influence in the life as respecting control of temper. For in this there may be brought those detrimental conditions especially as regarding the misapplication of station or position, rather than inclined towards those not of the plebian but of those in the position of the leader. For the natural intent of the entity is toward that of the natural leader in the mental, in the social, in the political, in the financial forces of those who surround the entity.
7. Remember, then, in the astrological forces and influence, that the assurance of the elements of the training are in the first twelve years of the present experience in this earth's plane.
8. As to the appearances and influences as urges that will be presented in this entity:
9. In the one before this the entity was in that known as Hamilton, who presented the financial conditions to this present generation and peoples, and who in honor served mankind; in self's own personal interest lost in expression of defense of honor of that position held. [Alexander Hamilton]
10. The urge seen in the present experience will be the exceptional interest in the financial conditions of those with whom the entity may be associated and of the mental study of those conditions related to same.
11. Before this we find the entity was in that period when there were wars being made in that country now known as the Grecian. The entity then won in the defense of her taken as hostage for the followers of one who brought about the wars in that land.
12. Then in the name Ioniah, in the defense of principles, the entity gained through that experience; being and becoming beloved by her whom the entity defended, and giving self in the service to same. Hence the urge as will be seen in the present experience will be that particular love shown for the mother [[136], Helen of Troy during Trojan period, now his mother], which is the urge seen through that experience.
13. Before this we find the entity was in that period of the return to the Holy City, the entity then being among those who were in the service of the temple as repaired and became the Scribe to the High Priest.
142-1 Page 3
14. Then in the name Iticai, the entity gained through the experience in that the service brought to the entity the abilities to give succor and aid to those who would learn the laws anew.
15. The urge as will be seen in the present experience will be that respecting the religious trend of the entity, and the especial interest in the law as set forth in same, especially as applying to populace.
16. Before this we find the entity was in that period when there was a division, as may be termed, in Church and State in the Egyptian rule. The entity then was the offspring of the councillor who gave to the ruler the laws set forth by the priest and adopted by the people and the ruler. [Son of present father, [900], during the Ra-Ta period?]
17. Though in that position of being oppressed in that period, the entity gained in its influence over the peoples, and in its position as the guide or scribe to the people gained in favor and in power in misapplying same in self's interest.
18. The name then was Ioaudi, and there may be found the writings of the entity in those tombs being opened at the present time in Memphis, of that country; and these will become a portion of the study of the entity in this present experience which will carry the entity to foreign lands.
19. As to the abilities, then, in the present, we find these are to be builded, rather than as exhibited in the present time, through those influences brought to bear upon the urges and the desires as are expressed by light in the field of the study in law and in the financial forces and principles of the land and all other lands.
20. In the application of those things necessary for the development, keep the entity's mind ever near those laws as were set forth in the re-writing of that which has been written by the entity, and which was compiled much in that which the entity taught in the newly constructed temple.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) In the astrological phases it has been given by one from that plane "for we knew this entity before, for he comes from among us." What plane would he come from, or planet? [See 136-59, Par. 6-A, 4/28/27.] (A) Jupiter, for in this as given, there is seen the plane of the just, and of those who present the powers in the earth's sphere.
23. (Q) As regards the message it has been given he will have to give to the Jews. (A) This applies to these as we have shown, that the first laws set forth to the people of the earth were seen in the
142-1 Page 4
experience in the Temple, the reconstruction of the Jewish law to the Jewish people in their promised land. In the present it is seen that the study of the first laws, and the application of the laws as reconstructed, come to the Jews and to those who love the Lord.
24. (Q) As for the cosmic influences, what are the influences of cosmic entities upon this child, such as its maternal grandmother, [139]? (A) Through those associations in that sojourn as has been given that "he comes from among us," it is as that influence held and sought in the earth's plane, and may be seen in the steady expression as may be gained by the entity seeking to find that inner association with that consciousness, becoming and being made a portion of that not [knot?] between the cosmic and material. For this is as the closest relation as may be seen in the study of same.
25. We are through for the present.
