1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here and those relations with the universe and universal forces; that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [365].
2. Great deal of development for this body in this experience; certainly made a very good looking woman for what she started with:
3. In entering the present experience from the astrological influences, we find these have somewhat to do with the urges innate and that are manifested in the personality of the present entity.
4. As we find, sojourns have a great deal more to do with how an entity is influenced in any given or particular experience than the mere position of a planet or the sun or moon; yet these influences are seen, or those that are psychically endowed or gifted - or in whom there has been a development of such abilities may, with such knowledge, give much that may be as the personality of an individual.
5. In this particular entity we find the ruling influence is Jupiter, and that some of the most pleasant experiences of the entity in this particular experience - in the mental, the material and the social life - should come from associations or connections made during the month of October 1932, and some of the most troublesome or aggravating social activities arising from associates and connections made in May 1923.
6. As to the activities that are innate and manifested in the entity, coming in the constellation - or astronomical constellation activity - of Virgo:
7. At times the entity has the appearance of being self-sufficient in its relationships with individuals; hence it is often termed rather eccentric, especially so in the
365-3 Page 2
choosing of friendships and associates.
8. There is also a tendency for the reasoning of relationships; hence the entity is termed rather of the materialistic turn of mind. This also gives the entity in the present experience the ability to train or to conduct the training of the young mind; yet it is often found that the greater successes are from intuitional activities rather than from a set rule. From the very nature of the mental experiences and activities, these conditions make combative experiences in the entity's activities or associations in the present; causing the entity to continue to seek plans, ways, means, manners of ferreting out of the necessary connection for developments in such a field of activity.
9. Also, under Jupiterian influence, the entity has a broad vision of things, conditions, circumstances, peoples; hence it may be termed one with a wealth of knowledge. However, knowledge is not always power without the intelligence or an intelligent approach to make practical application of it, as the entity has oft experienced.
10. From the same influence we find that there will be periods in the entity's experience when there should be considerable of this world's goods to be controlled or directed by the entity. To be sure, this depends much upon the application of will's influence in the affairs of the entity.
11. Coming also under the influence of Venus, with the knowledge, with the vision, with the characterization of activities in the experience of the entity, peculiar situations have arisen and do arise in the love affairs of the entity in this particular experience; yet these, in a manner these influences, rather than the love affairs), control a great deal the activity of the entity; for, the entity is one that is tender-hearted, yet at some periods others feel that the entity is very rigid and unfeeling.
12. Then, as to the influences from appearances in the earth, while they have been many, THESE - as we find - have the greater influence upon the present experience of the entity:
13. In the one before this we find the entity was during those periods when there were the settlings of the land in and about that now known as Pennsylvania.
14. The entity then was among those that were the early young born in this particular land or environ, from the settlers in the land; then in the name Von Rasler.
15. In the experience the entity gained and lost; gained through those periods when the application of self brought understandings both to the natives and to the young of that
365-3 Page 3
particular land.
16. And, the entity may be termed to have been among the first to establish particular periods or places for the training of the very young in this particular field or period; either that called the nursery or the kindergarten, for they both developed from much of the entity's activity; losing when there were those periods of oppression to some of the associates, hence the entity in the present - while gifted in abilities and intuitional influences - is often held in subjection or check by associations of individuals whom the entity hasn't the whole confidence of, or in.
17. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Roman, during those periods when there were the oppressions of the peoples for a belief in a tenet that had been presented to those that sought communion with the unseen forces and influences in a material world, from a spiritual world.
18. The entity then was among those of the nobility or higher classes, that - in a manner - adopted or became much imbued with those principles that were presented, and the contentment brought to those individuals in the activities of the peoples; hence the entity, often halting between duty, conscience and self-esteem, in the present finds in the mental self those peculiar affinities as in relation to the various understandings in sects, groups or individuals that follow some particular or peculiar line of thought respecting the religious or spiritual life; for, to the entity, religion and the spiritual life are often very much separate; yet from these experiences - and the manner in which the entity through the period sought the activity in the minds of groups, whether young or old, upon what is now termed psychological effects psychology, with its kindred branches of analyses, is an interesting field for research for the entity in its mental experiences, and will offer for self much that will bring understandings in the present, through satisfactory conditions being made more understandable in the experience of the entity.
19. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were turmoils in the land.
20. The entity then was among those that were of the household of some that rebelled in the period, yet with the return of the priest and the establishing of the Temple Beautiful - and those sacrifices that were brought about and taught by the priest and the followers - the entity became an associate in the Temple for the purification and concentration of the efforts of the young, for their
365-3 Page 4
activities in the early portion of their sojourn in that particular period.
21. Then in the name Nipsut, the entity GAINED throughout the experience; and in the present through the application of the tenets of the law of One that may be found in seeking the ways presented through closer associations with those in the active field of such endeavors, even as in that period, the entity may gain much for self that may bring contentment in the daily activities; which is the greater blessing that may be the lot of any soul in an earth's experience, for the ideals then are set - and the ways are led by the ideal, or the guiding influences in an entity's - a soul's - life.
22. Keep the way open. KNOW in what thou hast believed. Make the paths straight, and present the efforts of the mind, with the activities of the body, in a way of service to the Creative influences that are magnified in a work, a labor, of love.
23. Let each soul build its own house as if ITS beloved was to be the dweller therein.
24. In making such an activity there may come the joy that passeth understanding, in the ways the Son has shown in the earth, through Him that gave, "I will abide with those who keep my commandments."
25. Ready for questions.
26. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File
