1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [510].
2. In entering the present experience, and in giving that which may be helpful in the present experience, we would find that alone from the astrological aspects a great deal has been changed from those influences that are naturally - or have been accorded to - the activities upon the individual life through the position of the stars, planets, or even in the astrological aspects. For, will is that factor in the experience of each soul that determines whether it has responded to that it has set as its ideal such as to make for developments along those lines, or whether retardments have been the experience of such a soul-entity.
3. In this entity's present experience, while meeting many things, many conditions, many experiences that have altered the natural bent or trend of the activities of the entity, of the body, the greater portion of these has been with an eye single towards an ideal that is innate in the experience or soul of the entity, than into mere advancement in a material attitude or position in this plane. This has necessarily, then, made for rather those conditions that may be given as INNATE, or as mental attributes of the soul in the present from the astrological - or rather planetary sojourn. For each soul in its advent into this earth solar system, and becoming an indweller in the realm of materiality, becomes subject to the laws and the attributes of this present solar system, with the influences from the sun, from the sun's planetary companions in this present
510-1 Page 2
solar experience. Hence Mercury, Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, all are periods or spheres of development necessary for the soul's sojourn in its relationships to making for that soul-entity those experiences of application of the laws, as are called in the earth's plane, of making an intelligent application of the knowledge pertaining to the law of Creative Force, or God, in the experience of that soul. To each sojourn there has been given that as was attributed as of old, by the bards, the seers of the past, the initiates that have entered again and again in their endeavor to give that the sun, the stars in their position are given for signs, for seasons, for years, for days. Hence the indwelling of a soul into such a sojourn makes that indelible impression upon the soul that lives on, as to what is necessary or what has been the application of self respecting the environ and the knowledge, the understanding OF itself in relationship to the Creative Forces.
4. For this entity, then, in Mercury we find that influence making for an activity of the mental forces, of a mental acumen, giving abilities within the individual in the present that become exceptional in the manner of discernments and as of an analytical mind pertaining to the activities of other minds with whom it may come in contact or be associated with. Yet, as has been given, the entity in its application of such an innate influence may use or abuse such an innate qualification in its soul development.
5. In Venus also is found the activity that makes for the abilities to be tender when necessary, severe when necessary, and loving in those relationships that make for the adaptability of self in whatever environ, in whatever association may be the necessity or may be the activities of the entity.
6. Jupiter makes for the vast experiences in the mental and material fields of activity, also making for the peculiar interests that the entity may have in classifying individuals' activity into groups, into associations, into relationships with others that are mentally or physically equipped for certain commercial or certain activities to which the abilities of the entity (this body) qualify it to become, as it were, a judge, or one able to assort and to qualify individuals in such relationships.
7. As we find, the Neptune influence makes for the associations necessary about large bodies of water; peculiar activities with individuals who have recently crossed large bodies of water, or who may be relating themselves to such associations or such relations. Also for those innate
510-1 Page 3
feelings of the knowledge pertaining to mysteries, as to rites, as to sources pertaining to mysteries that have that flavor rather of the rites and the activities of others under the varied circumstances or experiences that may come into the experience of those sojourning in the material plane. Also interest in those things that pertain to the mysteries of life, as itself and as it relates to the psychological effect that such associations may have upon individual activity in and under any given circumstance or conditions.
8. These are rather qualifications, as may be termed, in the DEVELOPMENT of the entity in the present experience.
9. As to the sojourns in the earth and those that have their influence upon the activities of the entity in the present, these are they, as we find, that have to do with the present activities:
10. Before this we find the entity during those periods when there were turmoils in the land now known as France, during the period just previous to what is commonly called the French Revolution.
11. The entity then was among those peoples that were of the authority, or of those that had been - or should have been - the counselors to the king and to those that made for the relationships between the peoples and the ones in authority.
12. In the name then Burgette did the entity, in that activity, make for counsels with the father and with those of that period as to how much that happened might have been averted. That the counsel was good was later learned to the distraughtness to many. To the entity it brought rather discouragements, and the necessity of changing in the experience, as it were, its associations and its relations. In the contacts with some of those that led in the rebellions of the period did the entity find those things that made for sad physical experiences, yet bringing to the mental and soul forces abilities that made for soul development; yet the ability as an executive in the present comes much from that gained in that experience - and in the ability to deal with individuals of varied classes, yet those that would deal with the high or the low makes for the judgements as THROUGH the experiences in the astrological sojourns, making for qualifications that are exceptional.
13. Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the Persian or Indian, but rather then the Chaldean or Assyrian land, when a peoples were in exile from their promise land, and when there were made those overtures to those in power that there might be the return of those peoples to their native land, and to those activities that
510-1 Page 4
were to cause - and that have caused - thought of the spiritual activity in the earth.
14. The entity, as a niece to Zerubabbel, in the name Iexlia, gained in favor, gained in power, not only with the rulers in the Chaldean land but in the counsel that was given to those that - with the Zerubabbel and the high priest's command - brought those peoples into the promised land; aiding in setting to work those as the classifications of their own abilities in the various fields of activity necessary in that land, bringing order out of chaos in the eyes and in the minds of many; and thus in the physical experience endearing self to those that were to again carry on to that whereunto a peoples had been called in a manner to present in the experiences of their lives their concept of the Creative Forces in their experience.
15. In that sojourn the entity gained throughout the experience, for much of that which had been given by those patriarchs of old had come to mean to the entity that upon which all souls, whether pertaining to the spiritual life, the material things or the activities in a commercial world, must depend for those tenets and principles that had been set by those who were to be the lawgiver to a select peoples.
16. In the present the concepts of authority are founded most upon that INNATELY gained in that sojourn, yet at the same time making for the appreciations of the activities of others that in their own development must meet their OWN problems.
17. Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the turmoils through the rebellious forces that had arisen in that land.
18. The entity then was among the native peoples that, through those teachings of those that had overrun the land, became enamored of those and - joining in the activities of the king, of the priest - were persecuted through these associations; making for a period of consternation and turmoil and strife, and when there were the re-establishments of the priest and of those of the Atlantean land, and there was the comprehending that there was the truth in the oneness of the spirit force and its relationships to man, and that the manifestations of same could only be brought through the relationships of man to man, did the entity then again - in the name Ai-Eltu - gain in that sojourn.
19. From that experience we find in the present that of the nicety of the entity as pertaining to those that are in
510-1 Page 5
power and in authority, yet QUESTIONS ever any source of information unless it may be applicable in the HEART of self or SEEN applied in the EXPERIENCE of others in their daily life.
20. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
21. As is seen from those sojourns that make for the abilities in the spiritual life, in the material affairs, in the commercial things of earth, these bring only those things pertaining to the material things which, if founded in spirit, may LIVE in their own place in the affairs of men.
22. In that to which it may attain, then:
23. Make the application in the daily activities that others, knowing through the associations of self that same is founded in that which is Life alone, as in the spirit of justice and mercy and patience and truth, may bring in the hearts, in the lives, in the experiences of others THAT knowledge is INNATELY manifested in the experience of this entity.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) Which activities will give me the greatest spiritual and cosmic developments? (A) In those that have been given here. In letting those associations that the entity contacts in its field of activity become clarified in the abilities of individuals in their relationships, such that they are FOUNDED in the spiritual; not spiritualism, but SPIRITUAL truths as proclaimed by Him who gave, "There is today set before thee life and death, good and evil; choose thou," and, "If ye will be my people, I will be your God."
26. (Q) At which activities can I earn money and succeed in this life? (A) As has been given, that which will earn and live and make for the most is in that founded in Truth. While there may come through the abilities of the entity in many fields of associations, that which even in self may be questioned; yet such gains, such activity, though earning moneys, soon brings that with same that eats - and eats - and eats the soul and consciousness of such gainer. Then, find self in truth, in light; for in such may come peace, harmony, and that which is necessary for the soul development. For, as has been said of old, "What gain ye to gain the whole world and retard thine own soul?"

Look upon thine peoples when thou aidest them to reestablish, rehabilitate themselves and to reclassify themselves for activity in the rebuilding of the temple. Build THAT temple in thine own body, in thine own soul!
