1. EC: (Going back over the years - " - '24 - '23 - '22 - '21 - These are happy years! '20 - '19 - " etc., on back to '88.)
2. 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, now known as - or called - [752].
3. In giving that which may be helpful from the experiences and from that record which is written by the activities of the entity in the material plane and through the mental sojourns, well that the entity understand from what source the information may come to the self at this time.
4. As thoughts are deeds in the mental world, as are the activities of a physical being as related to the associations, the relations, the words, the activity in a material world, so do they leave their impressions and the titles and the activities of each entity are thus written upon the skein between time and space, that may be indeed a record ever for the entity to meet, to experience throughout its activity in whatever consciousness the entity may be. And the entity becomes aware of that which may be helpful, or as to that which it may take into consideration, by the application of that it as knowledge has experienced in any realm. As there is the sojourn of the entity-soul in varied spheres of activity about the earth, or that known as the earth's own association or companions in stellar space - as the planets upon whose environs the soul-entity may take or have its experience in such realm of activity, so we have that which has been and is a record of the experience of the entity in those environs. For in those environs are created the impulses that to the inner self makes for those innate
752-1 Page 2
urges of desire that there be this or that character of experience in the realm of the activity of the entity in a mental or material plane, just as the sojourns in the physical or material plane through the realms of the consciousness in the emotional influences of a body find their expressions in the daily activities. And thus does an entity build for itself in a material realm its own environ and its own hereditary influence. For as in materiality the sojourns in the planetary influences are as hereditary, or those in the earth's sojourn as that of an environ.
5. So, from those influences, as we find for this entity in the present experience, from the astrological sojourns:
6. The mental influences of Mercury have made for a high mental ability of the entity; while some conflicting influences or sojourns in Venus with Saturn and Jupiter influences show that the entity has not always made the wise choice in the activities from the inner urges. For while the Venus influence creates that inner urge as of an appreciation of the beautiful, of those influences in the lives of individuals in the associations in beautiful friendships, in beautiful relationships, the adverse influence from Jupiter has made at times for periods wherein the entity has found - as in the earth's experience in the present - that friendships, loves in the body, have become stumblingblocks, and those things that have made for some of the fearful experiences in the mental sojourn. Yet, as the entity has turned and does turn to the inner urges, and these doubts and fears are laid aside, there is the beauty of the love that has been described by the poets; such that though the body may be burned upon the sacrifice, although the body may be made for influences that would deter, love remaineth within - friendships remain as the stronger ties in the experience of the entity, even than those of blood or flesh relationships at times. Hence those that from the innate influence of the entity may claim the entity as a friend may know indeed that the entity is as one that would remain true, closer even than the brother.
7. The influences from the sojourns of the entity in Jupiter have made for the broad expanse of associations and relations, and those activities of individuals with whom the entity has been associated deal with things of large fields - that have a great influence upon the lives and manners of living of many individuals. Yet these with their adverse influences have made for times when the entity has withdrawn within itself, through those very fears that have arisen from the adverse Venus experience. Yet, whether the abilities and the activities may be in the relationships of
752-1 Page 3
letters or of writing or the experiencing of the judgements as in the relationships of groups or masses or classes, ever would the entity judge rather for the other fellow than for self. For, not only through its sojourns in the earth but in the environmental influences about the earth, the entity has gained the virtues of patience and tolerance. If these are kept in that same attitude in which the entity has thus far experienced in its application of that it has attained respecting the Creative Forces in the material and in the mental world, they will bring happiness and joy in the very activities that will shut away, will mark from the entity's experience all of sorrow and sadness. For, as has been given, he that loveth his brother may indeed through patience become aware of his soul and its activity in even material things. For the entity having endured even from the beginnings may know, even as He has given.
8. As to the associations from the activities in Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, with Saturn rather as the impelling or changing influences that have brought such in the experience of the entity, these have come rather at regular cycles of experience in eight years; or the multiples of eight. And, as the entity will experience by turning into its inner self from the mental approach, at those ages of eight and sixteen, especially in twenty-four and thirty-two, there have been those periods when there were the greater changes in the experience of the entity's association - ESPECIALLY as to its relationships with those things that deal with that accredited to Venus in its activities in the affairs of individuals in the earth; or the material or marital or friendship, or relationships that deal with such activity.
9. As to the experiences in the earth and those that influence the entity in the present, we find:
10. Before this the entity was among those during the periods when there were the wanderings, as it were, to the land of the entity's present nativity; when the first sojourners from the eastern part of the land journeyed westward to those lands where GOLD was to be found.
11. The entity then was among those who hated, as it were, the roughings of those that would journey forth; yet from the very associations and activities it was forced - as it were - to accompany those that journeyed hither, in the name Carew. And about the land of the birth in this experience may there be seen some of those activities that in the latter portion of the entity's sojourn there brought such to those people who have fared the better. Yet innately were there the determinings within self that in the activities it would journey rather to the hills and the lands in the far
752-1 Page 4
or fairer portion of the land. Hence to the entity the eastern portions have their peculiar influence, and oft has the entity in its changes and in its sojourns in the various portions of this present land - especially when in other lands or in other climes - turned within self for the inner urges that arise from the emotions. And when there are the beauties of nature and the beauties of life, as they influence and arouse the emotions of the body, those various activities of the entity in that sojourn bring forth a longing for its OWN activity in that experience.
12. So the entity gained some and lost some through the sojourn, yet in the MENTAL or in the emotional does that sojourn have its effect. Especially when the entity through any association or relation finds an individual, whether in a home, in an office, in a crowd, in a nation, in a state, forced by the will of another irrespective of the entity's OWN activity, rebellious influences arise in the entity's own self.
13. Before that (among those that influence the entity in the present), we find the entity was in that land now known as the Roman, during those periods when there were the changings of those rulers in that land; when there was the acceptance or adoption of the rulers as in Constantine's sojourn.
14. The entity then was among those people greatly influenced by the activity, for the entity then was in the household of those very close to that ruler, and was IN THE NAME Constantene.
15. And the entity found those things very much awry in the experience of the entity as to the social and ruling influences that prompted people in their activity as to relationships of their moral and their material life, or the penal activities of the law and the moral activities of law and those pertaining to the social order of things. For, though there were many in the association and activities of the entity that professed in this or that direction, there was much of selfishness and much of the aggrandizing of selfish interests that went on about the entity. Hence the rebellious influences that arose in the experience of the entity, and in the last portion of the experience its declaration for the peculiar activities that made for the separations of the first of those that consecrated themselves to the cloister activity; or what became known as the sisters of Mercy. The entity separated itself and those about it.
16. In the experience the entity gained much in the mental, the material and the spiritual developments. And in the
752-1 Page 5
present is oft found that sacredness to individuals of whatever faith, clime or activity, that dedicate their lives, their bodies for an individual service, whether to individual groups or to a cause, or to that which will bring a greater influence and a greater blessing of any nature into the experience of individuals and lives of others. The entity finds something, as it were, that answers from within as it would give to such an one its own blessings.
17. Before that we find (among those that influence the entity in the present) the entity was in that land now known as the Persian, during those periods when the city in the hill and in the plain was being established by those that had gathered about that leader - though they had come from many lands.
18. The entity was among those of what is now the Persian land, and about the upper Chaldean land. Then the entity was a princess in that land, yet with the preachings, the teachings, the ministerings that were heralded far and near - as to that teacher, that leader in the hills and the plains - the entity journeyed forth with those of its own retinue, of its own kingdom, that there might be gained, as it were, something anew that might be helpful to its own peoples, its own lands.
19. Hence in the innate influence in the present from that sojourn we find the more delicate interests the entity-individual has in those that are in political power in the various fields of activity throughout the earth, and as to what impels - or that force behind each of those who are as rulers that motivates that influence in the lives of the individuals. Not as to the personal, not as to the power, but what is the motivative influence in those that rule.
20. The entity then was in the name Princess Sunsui; and in that land may there still be seen much of that the entity set as an influence in those people - that has been heralded far and near, as to the ability of these peoples to become more compatible with other individuals and other nations than many. And the interests in the present the entity has in things that partake of the nature from such lands are innate and manifested in its urges.
21. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the dispensings of those teachings that had been compiled - as it were - by the priests and by those of the Atlantean land, and the combination of those; especially in those effects upon what became the first of the peoples that aided in the bodily help that came through the establishing at
752-1 Page 6
that period of the hospitalization for various activities from the application of the material forces in a material world for creating the greater balance and the greater coordination of the unity of influences in such activity did the entity interest itself.
22. Hence we find in the present from the activities of the entity, then known as Ashehatshui, there comes the influence that is seen and felt as to the associations of that period. For the entity then helped the young, or those in any walk of life not wholly in correct balance; or the entity aided in those schools or hospitalizations for the indigent, the lame, or those that were maimed - the children, especially.
23. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
24. First, as may be seen from the experiences of the entity in the earth and by the comparison of those things that are as innate urges - that is, the fears, the doubts, also the hopefulness, the faithfulness within self, find - to self - that which is its SPIRITUAL ideal.
25. And as it finds its counterpart in the activity of individual or group, lend self in those interests that may bring material fruition of such an activity. And im same may the entity find, as it did in those bringings for its own peoples, a joy and a harmony; it may bring to its self a life in this sojourn, in this experience, of knowing within self that it - the entity - has made its own portion of this universe a brighter place for the entity having labored therein. For these be they that are the fruits of the Spirit: Mercy, joy, faith and hope, longsuffering, fellowship; these are without the law, and bring - to those that do these things - an understanding that passeth the knowledge of man.
26. For with the communions from within where He, thy brother, thy God, has promised to meet thee, may ye come face to face with that thou hast to do in this material sojourn.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) Will the alimony case now being handled by Mr. Fullerton of Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro, of Bush St., Standard Oil Bldg., San Francisco, Calif., bring about the income to insure comfort for my family, and the opportunity to bring about my own development? (A) As we find, this - to be sure - depends upon the sincerity and with what dexterity these handle the situation. But, as we find, if this is urged by the entity - if these are urged by the entity, from the urge within, it will bring this to pass.
752-1 Page 7
29. (Q) Should I marry again? (A) This, to be sure, depends upon whether there is found that which answers without question those doubts and fears that have from the sixteenth year come into thine experience. For to each soul there is the helpmeet that is as that which brings the complement one to another in the service for the fellow man. In such may joy and peace and harmony be found. These choices must be within self.
30. (Q) What type of person would you advise me to seek? (A) Such an one that answers in those directions pointed out.
31. (Q) What would be the proper time for such a marriage? (A) Thirty six ('36).
32. (Q) Where should I make my home for the better vibrations and development? (A) East of the Appalachies. [Appalachian Mts.?]
33. (Q) Have I been associated with my son in previous incarnations? (A) In those associations as indicated when there were the Princess' activities that brought to its own peoples an understanding and joy that aided the son, who was then that one who directed the affairs of the Princess.
34. (Q) Will my son graduate as a lawyer this June? (A) He is fitted in that direction, and should. As the entity directed that one who is the son now, in those periods of activity when he judged wisely among the peoples of the entity's own realm, so has the suggestion been - and not with a hand as of urge other than the urge that the greater may be the right for Right's sake among the fellow man. Hence in that urge for the son, make it for the greater for corporations in the relationships with those that depend upon same for their expressions in the material world.
35. We are through for the present. [See 752-1, Par. R1.] Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
