1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relationships with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [453].
2. In entering the present experience, and in making manifest in self that which may cause the greater soul development in the present experience of the entity, rather would we in the first give some warnings as to the physical body and those impending influences in the activity of same. Not only from the astrological aspects that are manifested in the experiences of this entity, [453], but as to those things that have been builded in the experience of the entity in its sojourns, that it may the more perfectly manifest in a more healthy, in a stronger mental and spiritual environ. For, the body-physical is the temple of the soul in the material world. Hence the better that the body presents that which is the more perfect in its relationships to that which IS the active force in the mental, in the soul and the spiritual body, the greater may the soul develop in the better environ.
3. Hence, as related to those tendencies that exist in the physical body, for the lack of perfect functioning of the glands of the body, to build resistances necessary to make the strong, perfect functioning body (which IS the manner in which the body may manifest in the present experience), we would add the plain wet cell vibrations in the low electrical formations - which will create a more perfect balance in the activity of the glands as related to digestive system and assimilating system. In the application of the anodes, the first (or that from the positive pole) should be attached to the 3rd and 4th dorsal
453-1 Page 2
plexus in the body, and the negative anode (or that from the nickel plate) to the umbilicii plexus - or over the area specifically of the lacteal ducts, that the glands may be the better active. And we will find much improvement in the general physical condition of the body. This we would do, beginning at once, making the application each day; in the beginning from ten to fifteen minutes, and after the second or third week increase (keeping the plates and anodes clear) to twenty to thirty minutes. Then have the rest period. Then begin again.
4. As to the astrological influences that affect the body, both innately and that make for impulses through the earth's sojourn:
5. From Mercury, combined with Jupiter, we find rather the exceptional intuitive influences in the body in directions that relate to places, homes, conditions or things of the nature where certain characters of activities or developments may be carried on. Hence there are, in the influence of the entity, certain things or conditions, that may be found in special action that may be shown in stained glass windows, things that have to do with giving expression, make a peculiar feeling for the entity when beholding such. And to the entity most things builded in such a nature are able to be read or interpreted by the entity better than by many who profess to know more about such things.
6. From Venus with Mars there are peculiar influences innately as to the relationships of the entity with other individuals. Whom the entity chooses from such an indwelling influence to make her friend, she may have as her friend - but not always does the entity find that she may retain same. For, there arises with self, and within those whom the entity contacts, influences that are regulated or renegated to the activities of their relationships either in the earth's experience or in the activity of the mental developments, when little differences arise - then indifferences, from those differences. Yet, there may be builded in the experience of the entity with those very same influences, by applying the tenets or the applications of truths that are set in that which may be called not merely ideals, not merely ideas as relating to the characterization of such relationships, but there may be builded by taking those precautions or activities within self through the mental influences in the body, that which will make for the friendships, the relationships, the activities; whether they be for the home, the social activities, or in relationships that the entity may choose, that will come to mean a great
453-1 Page 3
deal more in the whole of life itself. For, oft, from these same innate forces that become active, the entity in its ideas and ideals has felt so alone, so far adrift from others as to wonder within self at times whether it has the right slant on what life is all about or not. This is from the experiences in the earth, applied with such an influence in the sojourns in the environs as given.
7. As to the appearances that influence the entity in the present, and the urges that make for the activities in the mental influencing of the body:
8. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Hinterland, or that lying between what is known as France and Germany; and during those periods when there were the upheavals and dissensions arising among the peoples.
9. The entity then was in that land which would now be called Lorraine, and in the name Henderich.
10. In the experience the entity suffered in body and in mind, yet the entity gained much through the experience; for the entity was among those that tended close to the activities in the services of the temples or churches or gatherings together in the period. And while the surroundings brought turmoils and strife, the abilities within the entity enabled the entity to quell or quiet the fears of the little ones - and oft of those that were bereft of their support and of their aid in the material things of life. The entity gained in being able to bring the greater comfort to those through the spiritual insights that were given by the entity in the experience.
11. In the present is often felt the activities within as related to the spiritual side of life which the entity may attain, and often the entity feels impelled to press on; yet some influence - such as has been given as being innate - holds back. These may be expanded upon the greater, if the outlook through the physical being warrants the activities in a more decisive way and manner in the present.
12. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Persian, during those periods when there were the overrunnings of the city by those Grecian peoples.
13. The entity then was among those Grecians that came into the land to conquer same. First by the stealth, begun by the attempt to undermine the teachers and the leaders that had begun with their dissemination of truths in that experience.
14. The entity was used in the ways and manners as to beguile some of those in that land, yet in the latter portion of the entity's experience - even with the turmoils arising - the entity changed in its attitude and joined with
453-1 Page 4
those peoples of the plains, rather than with those that would destroy the activities in that experience.
15. PHYSICALLY the entity may be said to have lost in the experience, yet in its soul and mental development it gained. For, through the periods the activities were in all good conscience, even though bringing destructive forces to the peoples in the plain; but when there was the conviction and the change had arisen in the experience, the entity with all good conscience, with all good forces of desire to not only undo the harm done but to aid in giving help even to those that tempted, tempered those activities in the experience, leading self in accomplishing that it might in the period; in the name Ujd-tin.
16. In the present from that sojourn comes much (Yes, the entity was a man in that experience) of the influences as to being capable of making associations in directions pertaining to the activities of large companies of individuals, or hosts of individuals; as interior decorating, as making for the activities that may associate self with those places where hordes or groups or certain characters of people meet. More in those places that are other than the home may the entity succeed in the present the better, in these activities; yet, in the SPIRITUAL forces from the experience, FIND SELF. For, turmoils of necessity arise, not only from the change in the activities but from the relationships that were brought in the experience; for the entity often distrusts those who would be the better friends.
17. Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the establishings of those teachings of the priest in the land, and the various edifices, the various temples, the various activities that were wrought during the changes brought to the peoples.
18. The entity then aided in classifying the characterizations of the interior decorations in the experience, in the name As-pthi-el; gaining and losing during the experience.
19. In the various activities and influences, the entity brought much to many; in the latter portion joining with some of those rebellious forces in Ibex, thus making for periods of the loss of confidence of others in the entity, and the loss of confidence in self BY the entity in its own abilities for development and relationships in the experience.
20. From that experience in the present are the abilities to make for relationships and conditions and activities with
453-1 Page 5
others that may bring to THEM, and to self, an accord for development, physically, mentally, socially. Hence those fields of activity that may relate to first that which has been given: Health in self, health in others. Health in the activity as related to the whole, as well as to individuals.
21. As to the abilities, and that to which the entity may attain in the present, and how:
22. As seen, in many fields are there not only talents but there are abilities. Yet lacking first is the PHYSICAL strength to see the activities AS they should be, in the whole.
23. First, then, create within self that which will make - in the physical-material world - a coordinating influence in the experience.
24. Then develop in those lines as related to the activities associated either in the aid to the individual or the adorning of places of meetings.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Should I get married? (A) Not until the health is very much better.
27. (Q) When am I most likely to meet my true mate? (A) When the physical activities of the whole body are such that there may be the outlook upon the activities of the life that may meet the needs or associations. If these are begun in the present, by the next birthday.
28. (Q) Is Tony my mate, considering the best happiness of both? (A) Let's change the physical body and see the difference in the outlook. This should not be looked at too lightly, considering the physical health first.
29. (Q) Should I consider going into partnership with my brother [...] in the management of plumbing business established by father? [1/24/34 See father's Physical Rdg., 321-2. Mr. [321] was present for his rdg. and said that his daughter, Miss [453], was going to follow the advice for her health as given in her Life Rdg.] (A) With the health or the general physical outlook upon life such as to make for the abilities within to function the greater, the outlook upon such things - and the activities and the abilities, especially to the decorative influences - these would be excellent. Would be very well, if the health is better.
30. (Q) After the health has improved, just what line of study should I approach? (A) As indicated, either in that activity towards making for self those influences that will enable the body to give the most of that it has gained in the study of self to
453-1 Page 6
others, or in the decorative field; whether in the home or in the application of self as related to the activities of others in their own welfare. This may be at first to the entity very indistinct, but as the changes come these will be VERY direct.
31. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File (11/23/33 GD's note: For your information, details as to the wet cell battery vibrations may be obtained from Mr. Gray Salter, Route 2, Box 20, Hopkinsville, KY.)
