1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited manifestedly in the personalities of the present entity, [543].
2. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under the influences of Aries with Aquarius, and those of Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus. These bring their influences through the entity's sojourn in this astrological environ, as well as the influences of earth's sojourn as related to these astrological aspects; bringing then rather that of an unusual manifested condition in the personality, from the unusual individuality of the entity.
3. In the experiences as we find, that in the one previous to this has in the PRESENT that of the greater influence upon the entity in the present. While these are of that nature to, there may be used in the present - for the adjusting of the physical realities in the entity - those that would bring the nearer normal physical condition for the body, USING AS same those of the peoples as would be termed in that experience, using THEIR REMEDIES or THEIR applications for THAT as seemeth to bring those of incoordination in the present experience, and this near the period when this SHOULD be begun, or those of the earth's storehouse supplies in this season that which if taken in the physical forces of the body, and with those rites of that peoples as practiced in that period wholly applied, will make an entire change in the entity's experience - see? That that is called the creeping vine, or passion flower, as it soon begins to bloom, and the first fruits of same are seen in the passion flower and the fruit of same - gather same, and while the seed are in the pod, and the flower upon the vine, make of same DRINK that, taken, will prevent those occurrences of the reactions in the system. It did in THAT experience, it WILL in this experience; for the entity then
543-11 Page 2
the Princess to Powhatan's peoples in Virginia, and the name Rising Star, and a half-sister then of that NOTED one Pocahontas. In this experience there was gathered that for the Princess, and as this was brewed in this manner - brew same only in earthenware containers, see? and make as this proportion; GATHERED, now, when there is seed in the fruit OF the vine and the BLOSSOM ON the vine also. Not until the fruit seed have at least PARTIALLY matured, see? This will be by the 15th to the 20th of September. In brewing, gather that as would fill a whole two gallon measure. Put into four gallons of rainwater as would be GATHERED IN the open. This may be preserved and then used when ready. Reduce this quantity, that is the gallon, two gallons of the passion flower, vine AND fruit, to the one gallon AND a half. Strain while still warm and ADD to same one whole pint of that brewed from CORN, as it SOURS - that alcohol from same. From Indian MAIZE, or corn, and PREFERABLY that of the yellow or RED variety. One whole pint, that is DOUBLY distilled - and the dose will be three to five teaspoonsful each day, this continued - CONTINUED, will rid this body of that oppression as held in Rising Star, as in [543].
4. In the application of the influences, we find in that of Neptune, and of the influences in the occult - these bring for UNUSUAL experiences in visions, in dreams, and in that of occult and mystic forces. Because the body ORDINARILY considered by OTHERS as one afflicted, the expressions or visions are not heeded; yet these ANALYZED will be found to be most VALUABLE to MANY as individual seeking TO KNOW the effect of OCCULT and mystic forces UPON the human family, and may be applied in the daily life as in those of truths as would be gathered BY those seeking such knowledge, but ALWAYS compare same to that truth, as to whether the Spirit of Truth, or the Spirit of Contention, is the motivative force in expression.
5. In those of Jupiter's influence, as we will see from the entity's experience in the earth's plane, those of a broad and varied influence the entity has wielded upon many lives.
6. In the abilities as will be seen from the entity's application of self:
7. One that may give to many the perfect understanding of the application of the HEALING forces as come through CHRIST, the Master, and while the entity has been - as would have been termed of old, while the entity IS - as may be termed in the present, one to have been said - possessed; (the PRESENT says AFFLICTED) the entity, were it able - will it arouse within self that that will be able to subdue the passions of those influences which have become inherent from
543-11 Page 3
the indiscretions of the youth of the parents of the entity [See 5/10/32, 5/14/32 Reports under 543-18 saying Miss [543] "seldom failed to have an attack when she rec'd a ltr. fr. home," and "She had the last two severe attacks since she has known she was going home."] - there will be brought the full knowledge and understanding that the truth IN Him makes one free indeed, and though the law says that, "I will visit the afflictions of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation," so also is that healing and that Balm in Gilead as comes through the gift of the Son INTO the world, that, "Though thy sins be as scarlet they shall be white like wool."
8. In those applications, then, know in whom thou hast believed, knowing He is able to keep that committed unto thee against that day. DO NOT arouse the passions that make for the indiscretions of the flesh; rather in the arousing awaken that of the soul within that may become fully conscious of the HEALING that is in His Wings. He that would be patient with THIS soul, he that would cover a multitude of sins, find in the awakening of that within THIS entity that may give that glory, that power, to the Father. For in Him IS life, the life that perpetuates good through its shedding abroad; remembering ever that those of just being KIND to the unfortunate, to those that do not understand, is shedding abroad HIS love. Rather than proclaiming mighty words that become bombastic to many, rather than proclaiming those glories that can only be reflections, let thy yeas be yea and thy kindnesses in His name.
9. In the experiences, then, we find as this:
10. In the one before this in this present land, and among those peoples that were found in the land by the first settlers. The entity then a Princess to those peoples, yet - as was termed - one possessed with those visions that came from the waters, as were from the moon and the stars, and howling of dogs as came about, as is seen in those activities in the present reflected in the entity's experience. In this the entity, the Morning Star to that great chief that made peace with the peoples as came in. The entity then became the companion of one of the settlers that came in, later in middle life, after the afflictions. The entity then, with Bamebridge [John Bainbridge - See EC's Life Rdg., 294-8, saying he was John Bainbridge. See 294-39, Par. 5-A, saying he landed in Va. in Yr. 1625.], gained much of those of the possessions in the land, and only through those of the inactivities and the littlenesses in this Bamebridge [Bainbridge] did the entity then lose, in
543-11 Page 4
losing faith, hope and confidence in the peoples of that color. In the influences in the present, we find from the experience those of the afflictions in the present, and the little faith and hope at times as held in individuals, and in the applications as may be made for the resuscitation of forces; yet with these brought into that of a light of understanding as is set IN Him, MAY the applications be made even as they were in that appearance.
11. In the one before this, we find in that land now known as the Grecian, and among those peoples and during that period when there were the expressions given as to the glory of the PHYSICAL body, and the entity then among those that were the dancers of the period, and gave much expressions to the peoples; not gaining, not losing, yet counted as naught for the entity's appearance in that experience, for the entity held to the carnal forces rather of the experience; while the ACTIVITIES gave much to others in the understanding, yet to the entity then became as nil. Being, then, a companion of, or associate rather with, that of Pliny [?], in the name then of Perlyanne. The entity neither gained nor lost, yet advancing not in that experience. In the present may be seen that of the seeking for that not understood; to many this seems as but rashness to the entity, yet seek - SEEK - does the entity attempt to find WHERE is the outlet.
12. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during that period when there were uprisings, downsittings, in that land. The entity then among those that, being of the peoples that, followed those that had been in exile back into the land, the entity then becoming close associated with those in the temple's worship, and the temple's service, the entity becoming a means of an exchange of ideas with the peoples in the land from which, or the Nubian land from which she came, and in the name then Al-Anne. In this experience the entity gained throughout, yet HOLDING most to those of the material forces as brought those of the beautiful forces later, and afflictions still later, that the entity finds in the present that, that will there be holding to that something elusive, may there be gathered an understanding in the mental and spiritual and physical world that will bring an understanding that, INEXPLAINABLE as it may be, brings contentment and - most of all - PEACE. In peace - may that be as the greater word in whole human experience, for when turmoils either of the material, the mental or the spiritual world, bring that that is riot in any of the phases of human experience, and peace has flown away, then do turmoils
543-11 Page 5
arise. Peace - "My peace - I bring unto thee," is the greater promise that has ever been made to man.
13. In the entity there comes, then, in that seeking, IN that understanding will come peace, both to the mental and TO the physical body. "SEEK and ye shall find" is as a promise, as was "My peace I give unto thee."
14. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Atlantean, and in that period when there had been builded those developments of the peoples in the land. The entity then among the rulers of the land, being associated with those that WERE AS the rulers that were later divided into male and female. [See especially 543-18 Reports 3/15/32 through 5/15/32, in re being treated magnetically for "possession" by Miss [295], who had been told in 295-1 that she had been a princess in Atlantis.] The entity then, in attempting to seek or to follow close in the line of these, there was brought that of the first dissension, in the dissatisfaction of the inabilities to change its body to that as would entice or bring those influences into the lives of those the entity contacted, and the first stumble began, and in this the entity lost. As was seen and was given, even that given that made the separation may make the body whole.
15. In the abilities of the entity and that to which it may attain, and how:
16. In applying those truths that the entity may contact from individuals, weigh them well, and are they that make for a continuity of the Spirit of the CHRIST child, HOLD FAST to that! Are they that partake of either mental bombastic forces, as would make for a considering of 'what will others say?', or 'what will one in position do?', beware of! for in HIM is light, in HIM is Truth. As these are attained may the entity arise again to that position wherein it may, through the little kindnesses, the little kind words spoken here and there, bring the blessings that the entity would seek for self, in that peace with Him.
