1. EC: We have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [275].
2. In entering the present experience, we find the entity astrologically coming under the influences of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune. In the aspects as these bring in the influence of the entity, these as are builded, these as are latent in the present experience:
3. One refined of tastes; the mental abilities are keen; love's influence bringing the greater experiences in the entity's experience in the earth's plane.
4. Those influences innate are as the seeking for something in a constant manner in the developing of abilities of self, mentally and physically.
5. The influences in Venus and Jupiter bring in the experience, through mental application, often a dreaming - or BUILDING that called air castles, or that as of visions into the imaginative forces of the body's experience.
6. Hence in the fields of endeavor in the present experience, that of the pen - or writing - as related to influences of dietetics on the body, and of the USAGES of those things as will make for the applications of conditions in the life as preventatives, rather than of cures - both as applied in the MENTAL and as DEVELOPMENTS in the physical.
7. In the appearances, and the influence these will have - or may have - dependent upon the application of will of the entity as respecting various experiences that will come THROUGH this present experience:
8. In the one before this we find in the land of the present nativity, and during those stirring periods when there were the raids and the invasions of those peoples who would dislodge the settlers in this new land, while the entity of the native - or of those born to the first settlers, and in the name Zangrill. In this experience the entity gained in
275-11 Page 2
many manners, especially as to the abilities to apply the hand to that of decorating, sewing, and of knitting or spinning, and such of those things that pertain to the crude manner of the preparing of apparel are especially interesting to the entity. In this experience the entity gained in that as pertains to the religious influence. Not from purely that of the imaginative, but as WELL that as is BUILDED by the personal application of the relationships of individuals to other individuals; and to the entity, in this direction, it matters not the claims of one - but the actions, to the entity, speak the influence as one may hold, or one may expect to influence the entity with. So, pretty speeches mean little to the entity - though the mannerisms OF others influence the entity much.
9. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the destructive forces made manifest materially in the land when peoples were persecuted for their religious beliefs. [Nero period?] The entity was among those of the household of a ruler who participated in this character of influencing the peoples of that period. Hence in the arena the entity watched MANY an individual perish, and especially was there that expression that brings in the present an influence as to rending of limbs. In this the entity lost. In the latter portion of the experience the entity gained in the manner in which the entity suffered. In the name Partheniasi. In the present the influences as seen are those of outdoor sports, those that partake of that which would remind one of such experiences produce an inexpressible feeling of fear, often causing sensations in the body of the entity - especially if blood be drawn. While the influences also make innate that of the DESIRE TO render aid to the suffering, rather in the field of preventative measures would the ENTITY gain the most, and present a better development from same in the present experience. [See Par. 18-A, below.] [5/16/31 See 275-19.]
10. In the one before this we find in that early portion of that known as the Grecian rise of civilization, during those periods when there were the first considerations of the body beautiful, even in the isles where much of such was enacted; not as wholly of play, but rather as of a portion of the study of that which became as the period of statuary. The entity was among those who participated in the study of same, and in many of those periods was the entity's body-beautiful made into figures - as were later transferred as reliefs in various developments of the architectural designs. In the name Xera. In this experience the entity gained in the early portion, losing only in aggrandizing of
275-11 Page 3
selfish interests. In the present, the innate love of figure, statuary - especially that as defines the body as relating to the various aspects of natural or nature's expressions. In the first of those that bring such, may the entity gain in development of that, as a student of, an interpreter of, that meant by such artistes in their expressions.
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during that period [of Ra-Ta] when there was the height of the first understanding - in an expressive manner - of man's relationships to his Maker and man's relationships to his fellow man. In that first school established as a curative and as a preventative, did the entity act in the capacity of an aide to those who ministered in this period. In the name Ai-Si. The entity gained through this experience, and many were the combinations of delicacies as were given to those recuperating from fevers, from injuries external in battle, and those various conditions that dealt with the developments of the INNER man. The entity gained through this experience, and in the present that as may be applied in the same direction would be the field for development. Not until the entity has passed its twenty-eighth year should union, or those of the opposite sex relationships be oft considered - for those developments in body-mind, in body-physical, must in the present bring that to which the entity may attain, as in a life of USEFUL service first being set, that the entity may gain the more in the present.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) In what vocation will entity be most happy and successful? (A) As has been outlined, in that of a writer as pertaining to dietetics, or of preventative influences in the experiences of individuals for their physical development; keeping in mind, in heart, in spirit, that the ideal must be set high, and that in keeping self and self's application of abilities as gained, by the use of knowledge had, knowledge sought, knowledge attained, the entity gains an insight of ITS relationships to others and of the highest service it may give to others, and keep its relationships with the divine.
14. (Q) Where should she study? (A) BEGIN where she dwells.
15. (Q) Describe type of man with whom entity would be most happy in marriage, and where will she meet him? (How many children should she have?) (A) Time enough for that yet!
16. (Q) What musical instrument is body most talented for?
275-11 Page 4
(A) The harp.
17. (Q) Has entity any hidden talents? (A) As has been outlined.
18. (Q) Has entity any bad faults, and if so how should she correct them? (A) These have been pointed out, as to how mis-application of those attainments in self HAVE brought - as laughing at another's sincerity [in Rome] has brought - physical defects. As does the holding of grudges, as does selfish interest, as does that as hinders build - so may those that are constructive develop. We are through.
