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 entity now known as or called [562].
2. In giving that from the records as we have here of this entity, we find there is much in the astrological aspects as well as in the mental or the urges from the appearances in the earth that will and does influence the entity in the present experience.
3. First, while we find there will be periods of unrest, there will be periods of anxiety, and there will be more than one wedded experience in the experience of the entity, the days in the earth - unless by its own hand - will be many.
4. In the astrological aspects, then, we find these as influences in the present experience:
5. In Venus we find the activities that will bring in the experience that which will be of a high ennobling influence in the associations of friendships, home, of its relations with others. These will arise to those points where the associations with friends, the associations with those in the marital life, will bring high experiences, broadening the vision of gentleness, love, and of those that make for the developments in this phase of the entity's experience in the present. For much has been gained by the entity in the sojourns in this environ, through the experiences, and the developments of relationships with varied individuals in activities that have required, have necessitated, the applications in these directions.
6. In Jupiter we find the breadth of activity of the entity both in the mental world and in the material world; even in the social world we will find many changes arising in the
562-3 Page 2
experiences during this sojourn. If these are applied in the manner which has been set in the experience it will make for advancements in the general application and experience of the entity. If these are used as the self-indulgences or self-exaltation it will bring experiences that would change much that has been set and which is set before the entity in this experience. Yet these arising in their benevolent influence for those that especially have sojourned in Jupiter, Uranus and the Venus influences, should find this present year as one of the most exalting in the material and the mental affairs for many a period; and should continue in opportunities for self-expression as well as in those activities that may bring for the entity not only the mental but the material and the spiritual advancements in same.
7. The Uranian influence we find makes for periods when the entity becomes, as it were, self-conscious, or as termed by others moody or self-conscious as of the little things that make for the changes in the experience in the mental life of the entity. If these are used from the spiritual aptitudes and spiritual applications they may make for greater advancements. This gives also the entity the developments in the experience in the psychic forces and psychic influences that surround or make for expressions in the experience of the entity. Let this rather ever be, as has been indicated, self-development; rather than being directed by other influences that may arise in the experience from without. For the creative energies and forces have given those promises that are safe in Him, that He will meet thee in thine inner self, and there may ye commune with Him, and through Him find that which will make for the greater spiritual, the greater psychical, the greater mystical development. While these will give for the entity the abilities in expression especially in the abilities in writing, as we find, if these are turned towards the Venus or the home influence it will make for the greater expression, the greater advancement, the greater development for the entity throughout this sojourn.
8. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and their influence upon the entity in the present, we find:
9. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods when there was the establishing of the land as a unit, or as a separate entity or unit from the surrounding territories.
10. The entity then in that period made for a helpfulness to those that labored in that direction, in the name then Dundee. While it was of those peoples that would be termed or were termed from their outward activities opposed to the
562-3 Page 3
separations, the entity in its activity made for those experiences that strengthened rather than weakened the cause of those for liberty and for the expression of themselves and for the advancement in the preparations for the material activities and for the conservation of the home, for the sureness of the state and the sureness of the position with the mother land during the experience.
11. In the mental and material things the entity gained, in the latter portion of the sojourn gaining in the spiritual development.
12. And in the present experience there are the abilities to be something of the historian as related to happenings that are of detail, and of the abilities in the setting of self for the activities in such directions. And in these may the entity in the application of self make for not only harmony but contentment and joy in the service in the home.
13. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the French, during those periods when there were the preservations or attempts of peoples in that land to preserve or to aid the Prince that was in exile in the land, or during those days of Charles the Second.
14. The entity then was associated with those that aided in not only the attendance upon, but those that aided in the land in making for the establishing of the Prince again in his own position as the heir to the throne.
15. Then in the name Marcelcia, the entity was associated closely with those that not only made for the preservation for the entertaining, for the activities, but also for those who set about to make for the establishing of the relationships, the establishing of the communications with those in authority in that experience; coming very close in contact with those that were associated with Cromwell in that experience and making for much that broke down much of that resistance during the experience.
16. In the experience the entity gained in the mental and material, losing somewhat in the spiritual advancements or developments; for these were turned rather into those things that made for self-indulgencies and self-aggrandizements of the material associations and experiences during that sojourn.
17. In the present it will make for, in those experiences when the entity has risen to rather that of power in the material associations, that which must be warred against as selfishness in the own associations or experience. Yet in those tendencies from the experiences in the earth and from those activities in same, the entity may make for the using of same for development in the present sojourn.
562-3 Page 4
18. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as the Persian or the Arabian land, and during those periods when there were many from what is now called the Grecian land that came to the city in the hills and in the plains for the teachings and for the understandings.
19. These found the entity in those activities not only for the material health but those for the expressions in its artistic temperament. And in the associations with the leader, the teacher during the experience the entity rose as to that of the close secretary - as would be termed in the present - to the teacher, for the ministering to those that came close in the activities of the entity's own peoples during that sojourn. Being of beauty in body, of mind, in activity and the artistic temperaments brought for the entity the abilities in that experience of controlling many from varied lands.
20. Again we find the expression, too, in what may be called the psychic, or the abilities in those activities to write and those activities to record as a historian might, or those activities as would record as to the necessary influences in the experience or what would be termed the psychic forces in the experience of others for their own advancement or their own development, whether in the material or the mental activities in the experience of others.
21. In the present this will make for the abilities for the entity to direct the young, to teach in and illustrating in the material or mental life of the young, for their advancement and their development in the present experience.
22. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the establishings of the spreading of those activities that made for the giving of others of that which had been compiled by the Priest in combination with those from other lands, and from those activities that had been set in motion and activity in the experience.
23. The entity then was a sojourner, or one acting in the capacity of the emissary to carry to other lands; being of the Priest's own people, or as would be termed in the relationships in the present as a niece of the Priest; hence followed the Priest into exile and in the reestablishment and in giving out to others. The entity advanced far during that sojourn, making for those relationships that brought about the establishing of those unto the third and fourth generation in the activities of the Priest in that particular land.
24. In the name then Is-Shepht, the entity gained and
562-3 Page 5
developed throughout; bringing to many understandings through the interpretations of their own mental abilities, their own mental capacities, and that there was a ruling influence or force in the experience of such individuals. The entity acted much in the capacity, as would be termed in the present, of one that was an analyzer of the abilities of others as related to their mental capacities and mental abilities.
25. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
26. First find in self what are the motivative forces in thy activities in thy daily life, whether as in relationships to those that thou may meet in the casual acquaintance or those that may become in the material things the closer relationships. For these must ever be of the spiritual import. For as the mind and the spirit are the builder, and as the spirit gives expression in materiality and in its activities that which will not only make for contentment in its own developments but making for an expression in the experience and in the lives of others, it will make for the greater advancement.
27. In the home, rather than in an expression of self otherwise, may the entity find the greater development.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) What is my true life's work and when will I begin it? (A) Already begun! and in that as indicated, of being able - by precept and example in self - to lead, to guide others to the greater hopefulness within that which is THEIR ideal, in their expression in the material things of life.
30. (Q) For what purpose did I come into the plane at this time? (A) For self-expression or those activities whereunto the greater development and the greater expansion of the abilities in the soul-self may find activity and expression.
31. (Q) Would it be the best for my happiness and development to marry at this time? (A) For the better development and for the greater happiness, the better to marry at this time. Yes, in this year!
32. (Q) In which incarnations have I been associated, and what urges brought me together with my mother, [573]? (A) In that experience just previous to this, the associations were in very close friendship, when the land was about to be separated from the mother country; when the one and the other were as the ones that leaned each upon the other in distresses, in sorrows, in joys, and in the activities through the experience.
33. (Q) With my grandmother, [...]?
562-3 Page 6
(A) In those associations in the Grecian experiences when the grandmother was then that entity who brought the entity into the associations and connections with the activities in the city and the hills.
34. (Q) Please explain to me my seal and the meaning. (A) As we find, this would be as the fern leaf and the activities of the stones as from the Pyramid and the raising of the sun upon same; giving in its expression the life as the growth from the base to the height, carrying with same the emanations from the rays of the sun in its expression upon material or matter.
35. (Q) How can I develop my psychic power? (A) By the intuitive forces that lie within, by the study very closely of those tenets as He has given in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th chapters of John. For put thy trust in Him and He will guide thee aright, in thine intuition, in thy expressions in the psychic or the soul forces of self.
36. (Q) To what colors and musical notes do I vibrate? (A) Lavender and gold; to these does the entity vibrate. As to the music or notes, the harsher - yet the idyllistic or the outdoor notes make for the greater influence in the experience.
37. (Q) Please tell me where I can get work that will bring me compensation? (A) Rather would there be the preparation for the HOME in the present.
38. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Study to show thyself approved unto God, rightly dividing the words of truth, keeping self unspotted from the world; avoiding the appearances of evil, in any association; and thou wilt find peace and joy in thine service with thy fellow man.
