1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent in the present experience. In the entering, astronomically we find the entity coming under the influence of Aries, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, with adverse influences in Neptune and benevolent influence in Arcturus and in the Uranian activities - especially as related to influences as come with Jupiter and Uranus when square with Venus, for we have an influence at the time that would be unusual as to Uranian, Jupiterian, and of Venus - for these are as BENEVOLENT influences for THIS entity. Being then out of the ordinary in the Uranian influence.
2. In the influences - these, as seen, may be given only as tendencies as may be builded in the present experience, and these may be altered or changed by the training or the environmental conditions, as well as the will of the entity. The TRAINING, then, may be in accord with the tendencies and thus bring harmony, peace, and an influence worth while, or the entity may be trained in opposition to tendencies and bring consternation and troubled conditions in the entity's experience in the present earth's plane, even to the extent where there may be physical forces affected in the individual - as has often been pointed out.
3. Tendencies, then, as we find with this entity:
4. One whose influence as to days and numbers - Wednesdays being the days of the greater influence as to tendency toward good. This as to numbers: 6, 15, 24. Either of these numerically bringing then the 6, or the doubles of 3's, in the entity's attitude toward elements - as would be influence in that of numerical conditions.
5. Those of the tendencies toward that of strong, healthy, bright, and toward that of the art and of the influences OF
759-1 Page 2
art in the life. This, then, covering a vast field - and may be brought into any of the channels as would be in keeping with that of the tendency, especially of delving into wood and its relations with those of arts and those of the precious stones, and as related to the influence OF such in the lives of individuals as are makers, keepers, or as those that are bringing about such changes in the material forces and conditions of the universe in its whole to such conditions. Then, training and keeping is such lines will bring to the body those of conditions that will be the more satisfactory in the present experience.
6. Those of which the body are to be warned and kept from:
7. Those of water and of influence - any influence - that water or waterways bring in the elements of the material experiences for the entity; though there will be the natural tendency to investigate such by the entity, and these should be gradually discouraged rather than assisted towards such. Not discouraged in the manner as forbidden; for to forbid a thing to the entity is to make it determine to know the end of that thought as is sought concerning same. Rather, then, by reason and by explanation of elements that are detrimental to the best interests OF the body, so train as to keep these in the background, but not forbidden.
8. In the abilities of the entity, these may be seen from those influences as has been in the experiences through which the entity has passed - for the entity would make a GREAT physician. In the appearances, then -
9. In the one before this we find in that period when the preparations were being made for revolution in the present abode of the entity, when there was the suasion from withdrawal, or the establishing of a liberty loving people into that of a oneness in purpose of OWN rule. The entity in the name Ivan Dorr. The entity then in that position of ruling those that were disabled in a physical and material sense in the land now about which the body has again entered, and in the heights as are above the city there may be seen evidences of this entity's labors in the physical sense - on the mounds above the palisades. In the influence this has in the present experience, that tendency of the investigator as to intrinsic values and of intrinsic worth; yet not ALWAYS measuring same by MATERIAL worth. Get the variation! for this, as will be seen, will be an outstanding condition in the entity's development; that is, a busybody, an inquisitive body, but not one that may be termed a meddler into other peoples' affairs for the curiosity of the thing.
10. In the one before this we find in that period in the
759-1 Page 3
Roman rule when there were persecutions for the individuals who acclaimed the faith of the Nazarene. The entity then among those who were in power to administer the punishments meted out, and became a believer through the faith as shown by those so persecuted. Then in the name Eldoirn, and in the employ of the persecutor Nero. In this experience the entity gained through that of the ability to change the mind, and to act as the change would indicate in the physical and mental experiences of the body, DEVELOPING high in this experience; and in the present there may be seen that of one determined and one set; one not loathful in activity or in mind, but one that should be trained rather to play as well as labor physically, for one in THIS development may become one-sided - without the proper guiding of a whole, full, oneness of purpose. In the influence as will be seen in the developing of the entity, one that will be set - yet will not be so set, unless improperly trained, as not to be able to be shown that one is ever in the state of development, or of growth, in mind as well as in body. One that may gain the inner knowledge of spiritual effects in the material plane and make physical application of same.
11. In the one before this we find in the rebuilding of the Holy City. The entity among those who ministered to the needs of the ailing and the sick, and was the physician in this period to Ezekiel - who led this return. In the name Zedkahi, and the entity gained and lost through this experience - gaining in the application of self to those who labored in the cause; losing in the selfish stand as taken against those who persecuted the builders - and brought to self condemnation for self in the attitude assumed. In the influence in the present experience, the tendency toward the desire to know as concerning physical ills - yet loath to give sufficient time to learn well. This, as seen, is as contradictory to some influences given. Hence that of the influence to guide in the moulding stage to where sincerity and purpose must be, one, and the full knowledge before the application can be that as a basis for full development.
12. In the one before this we find in the land now known as Egypt, and the entity the offspring of the priest [Ra-Ta] who was banished in this period, and coming into power - that brought the dissension in later periods. The entity in the name Isoda, and there still may be found among those of the entity's doings - among the records as made and kept through the establishing of the school, or Islo as called then in that period, that were placed among the effects of Araaraart in the mount not YET uncovered. In that period
759-1 Page 4
the entity gained as a servant. Lost as attempting to administer the medicinal forces and learning as was gained in this Islo, or school - for the entity attempted to apply that in the material sense that were of the night side of life, or to apply the forces of the night side to the spiritual needs, and thus brought the first dissension after the re-establishment of a union in that land.
13. In the influence in the present experience, there will be found some understandings, some consternations, as to occult and occult influences - yet these, as given, with the ennobling influence in Jupiter and Venus, may bring renown, fame, fortune, and gain to the SOUL of the entity, in the study of those same tenets as were given in that period. Love, then, and nobleness, then, are the elements of success in the spiritual, mental, and physical life of this entity, [759].
14. Keep thine self in the ways that go up to the mountains, and not by the shadows of Armiza [?] [Amasa?] or into the tents of Kishlan [?] [Cushan?]. Rather to the house of David cling.
15. We are through for the present.
