1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here and these relations surrounding same, and the indwelling in the earth's plane and those relations as are shown and exhibited in the personality of the individual at the present time.
2. In the incoming into the present plane, we find one under the influences of Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Saturn. In the relations then as this gives in the present plane:
3. One that has the ennobling influence in the lives of many in the present earth plane, all for the good, and the influence as is manifested in precept and example is exemplary before the Forces, for the development is in that manner and way that brings the better influence to the individual, yet one seeking to keep much to self and inclined to be recluse in action and manner, and with many brings the not understandable conditions to the body.
4. One that is given to study much into the relation of every force as is manifest in the earth's plane. One with the Mars influence gives slowness to anger, with the Jupiterian force, yet one holding the grudge in a manner until through the Mercury influence the mental reaches that balance that makes same banished through the Saturn forces as of an earthly nature, and not to be harbored in a mind given to spiritual-mindedness.
5. One who, with the Mercury influence then, studies into the mysteries of the mental forces and the action of physical, in the material world, and the action of physical, spiritual and elemental forces in a material world.
6. One given to think a great deal of the beautiful things in nature and in life, yet not seeking to make them a portion of self, save in the spiritual manner.
7. One given to bring much good to the ones upon whom the entity would give thought and counsel.
8. Then the appearances in the earth's plane show how these
228-2 Page 2
are manifest in the present personality, and why the entity seeks to give such as is shown in the present earth's plane.
9. In the one, then, before this we find in the time when the first settlers came to the now United States' shores, in Massachusetts, and the entity then among the first to land in then called Plymouth, and in the name of Alex Alden, and the personality as is shown in the present earth plane, that of the ability not to be shaken in the faith as is once founded in self, except through the mental forces as would show a reasonable action in the premise that is attempting to be established. The entity there we find in the developing stage, and though in the earth plane as only a young man, dying in that time at only twenty-two.
10. In the one before this we find in the early portion of Louis the 14th, and the entity then in the armed guards about the place where the King held the official residence, and among those who defended the principles as were given by the royalty. In that we find the entity then in name of Doran [?] - D. [de?] Doran [?], and the entity sought the development, yet overpowered by the influences as were brought into the life. In the present personality we find the entity seeking to know the personal forces as manifest in each whom would become in close friendship with the entity. Then producing, as it were, one slow to make new friends.
11. In the one before this we find in the plains of now the Arabian country, when there was war made on the ruler then of Persia, and the entity then as a soldier in the army of the nomads, and under the rule was the guard or secretary to the ruler who lost life in attempt to again bring the ruler, or the one whom the entity served, from bondage. In the name then Khurdus [?] Uhjltd, and one in the charge of the affairs of the leader Uhjltd. In the personality then, we find in the present the seeking to be the one to gain much knowledge of every character and nature, whether pertaining to that field in which the entity labors, or in others, and to correlate such knowledge in a manner wherein would be beneficial to self and others.
12. In the one before this we find in the Egyptian forces, when the second Pharaoh ruled in that land, coming from the plains as the guard to the ruler and the courts, then giving the first laws to the people as regarding manner of life in earth and that expectancy in death. The entity then in the name of Rhaha, [See 341-9, Par. 13-A on 6/2/25 giving further details] and in that plane we find the entity developed to the position of taking the place of the deposed first high priest in that time, and gave much judiciary
228-2 Page 3
knowledge to that people. In the personality then shown in the present life, we find still that seeking of all forces pertaining to judiciary subjects, and especially as related to the physical, moral and spiritual life of individuals.
13. In the one before this we find in the land of now the Peruvian country, in the second rule of the Ohlms [?] [Aymaras], and the entity then the ruler in that plane, and giving much of the earthly splendor to the country, retarding self in that time through the relations as had with those of the lower class, or caste, and then we find the entity in the name of The Great Ohlm [Aymara]. In this, we find in the present the desire to see much splendor in others, and in many places, yet shunning those of the opposite sex in a manner, yet desiring ever to bask in the better judgment or thought of such people.
14. In the one before this we find among the first in the land of now the East Indian, in that time when the peoples from the mountains covered the plain country, and among those who first established a dwelling other than among the caves and rocks. In the name at that time we find in that as would be called at present Ouijahbekzd. In the development at that time the entity was among the first of the land and gave much to the peoples, though under stressing times and the entity suffered much in the earthly existence through harm that came through those enemies that sought the life of the entity, and we see in again the present earth's plane the care as shown in selecting those with whom the entity would be closely associated in any manner, studying the character of such individuals [the opposite sex?] with care and attention.
15. Then, in the one before this, we find among those who first came into the earth's sphere before it became inhabitable to human life. Only then as the vision did the entity (spirit entity) view the earth's sphere, and in that passed to the other spheres about the earth.
16. As to the abilities then in the present earth's plane, we find these then run in many channels. The entity is especially adapted to that of any scientific work of any character, needing the attention of one who looks closely into the details of such work. In that as the mathematician, in that as the critic of any work, whether of one class or another. One that may make self in the class as a critic far beyond the field as is now seen in the entity.
17. Then, as to how, class the work of self in that specific line, following closely in that as is obtained in mental and occult forces, for the entity obtains a spiritual insight
228-2 Page 4
into spiritual and material conditions. Then to use this, study to show self approved unto Him who giveth all good and perfect gifts, forsaking not that as is set in Him who came into the world as the propitiation for the sins of the people.
18. We are through.
