Time of Reading 3:35 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
1. GC: You will have before you the entity [357], born May 24, 1902, in Lynnhaven, Va. You will give an aura chart of the entity, indicating the symbols, colors, and the meaning of each, that they may be made into a drawing that would be of help to the entity.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [357].
3. In giving an aura chart for this entity - these are chosen from the records of the experiences of the entity in the earth; indicating the time or place by the picturizations or charts, and the manner of application by the signs or symbols of the planets and the characters in same.
4. As to its beauty, much will depend upon the artist's concept of same. The characters or periods indicated should indicate to the entity, in the time or place, the high points of the entity's experience through that particular sojourn.
5. We would magnify the virtues, minimize the faults - as should be the purpose and practice of each individual entity.
6. Then for this entity:
7. The central theme or figure in the lower portion should be a view of the Nile, as a vignette - not encased in a circle or oval, but indicating a broader vision, as in a vignette - but this at a season when waters would be low, indicating foliage and reeds as would grow along the banks of same.
8. In the foreground would be an ibis, standing in the edge of same, but with the head erect - as listening. And make this the crest ibis, or with the topknot.
9. Across the Nile, in the far distance, put at least three small pyramids - as in the distance.
10. On the opposite bank, and as viewing the scene before it, would be a figure - seated - in the oriental dress,
357-14 Page 2
alone, and one hand leaning on same, as if meditating upon the scenes indicated in that given.
11. This may be rather colorful, and while indicating thoughts in retrospect, all depicted should be symbolizing the activities of the entity through that experience.
12. To the left put the symbol of Mars; not red, yet indicating that tinge, and about same the signs of Aries - in small figures but black.
13. Upon the right would be the symbol of Mercury; white, gray and gold; with the symbols about same of Pisces.
14. These indicate the period, but as in retrospection; anger in the beginning, understanding in the completion of same.
15. Above this, as the central figure, put the "city in the hills;" thus indicating a sunken city, one whose greater portion of streets or buildings are carved from sides of hills.
16. Towering upon the right side of this would be a place of rest, or a low structure upon which would be depicted those in varied positions recuperating from forms of illness; three to four figures, a couch with a figure in same, a chair, and a seat, would be well. These may indicate varied stages of development, and a figure emerging from the structure as if waiting on or ministering to the needs of those, that would carry the expectancy of hope, help, in the expression.
17. Upon the left put Mercury; silver, and a light shade of green; with the signs about same of Leo, small and black.
18. Upon the right would be the symbol or sign of Venus; purple and gray; with the signs about same of Libra.
19. This again would indicate the place, the activities, and the manner of administration to same; showing the unfoldment, the developments of the entity.
20. The central figure above that would be the shore of Galilee, indicating the Master's teaching from Peter's boat; with the crowds of young and old gathered, listening to the teaching.
21. One figure would be indicated as making literal notes of that being said. This, too, should be very colorful; indicating the central theme of this chart. In the dress of the characters indicated here the artist may "let itself go." For, these may vary a great deal. Remember, there would be a great deal of color, though not too much of red - just sufficient to indicate color in the dress of the throng or crowds; not only the dress of the priest but of the scribe, of the farmer, of the fisherman; those old in years and young in years. No animals would be indicated in the
357-14 Page 3
picture; quite a contrast in the dress of the central figure, or the Master, and the rough and ready Peter.
22. Do have a small sail, but furled and not unfurled.
23. Do have some birds in the air, as well as clouds; though not either the sun or the moon, for He was and is the light of the world.
24. Indicate the varied expectancies in the faces. Though they may be small, they may be made expressive. And the tenseness in that figure making notes should stand out; this not as a figure in the center but rather to the side, but close to the edge of the sea.
25. Upon the left side put the symbol of Venus; purple and green - not the same shade as below this, but as of the healing green. About same put the symbols of Sagittarius.
26. Upon the right put Mercury; gold, white and silver; with the sign or symbol about same of Cancer.
27. This would indicate the period, the time, the unfoldment, and the manner of application in the experience of the entity.
28. In the center above this put groups of individuals moving through a forest, leaving in the distance an island and a house - though these should be in the distance; indicating a place, a wonderment. This, too, may be made not so colorful but sufficient to indicate the feelings of those as wanderers.
29. Upon the left put an ax and a staff across same, and then the sign of Saturn. This would be gray and green, with its ring sufficiently colored in golden to outline same; and the symbols about same of the archer. These would indicate the manners of activity.
30. Upon the right would be first the shepherd's crook, crossed with the cross; not too heavy, but golden; then upon the right - as to the manner - the earth sign, in silver and gray, with the symbols about same of Aries.
31. These would indicate an experience, the ax as the way, the staff as being led, the cross and the crook as the stay of the entity in the experience.
32. The attainments:
33. A cloud should cover, upward above this, uniting with stars - at least three upon either side, toward the top, and upon either side of the Book - open - with a director, as of the olive branch, just below same, and a mark directing or marking a place, and across same HOLY BIBLE.
34. Then upon the lower portion on either side, very small, put cornucopias, as of pouring out faith, hope, patience. These, of course, would be turned to pour same upon the life that has been depicted below.

35. This, as we find, is the aura chart of [357].
