1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the Universal Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development of the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, and those relations with the Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present appearance in the earth's plane.
3. In entering the earth's plane, while we find the entity under those influences from the astrological standpoint that are at an at variance to many conditions shown in the experience in the present earth's plane; yet we find from that as manifested, and as MAY be manifested through the experience, some exceptional conditions and proofs of both the astrological viewpoints as have been taken by peoples of many ages and proofs positive of that which may be created by WILL'S force as manifest through earth's plane and its influence in the experiences of the entity throughout the eons, or throughout the cosmic influence.
4. In entering, then, we find the entity under the influence of Neptune, Uranus, and Venus, with benevolent influences in Jupiter and in Saturn. From these influences we may find there are those exceptional abilities, those mysterious conditions, as surround the elements of the individual appearance, even IN the present earth's plane. Becoming, then, enigmatical to many, and oftentimes even to self, in the study of those conditions through which the entity would contemplate the building of self towards that of the advancement, or that of the conditions wherein there may be accomplished that which is set forward in the intent and
778-1 Page 2
purpose of the entity through its present earth experience; for, as is seen, there is given to all that which is gained or merited in its application of that in hand toward the manifestation of the powers that give life, light, and the experience of same in and through THIS material plane, or throughout those spheres through which an entity may pass to develop to that oneness as necessary to be One with that Creative Energy.
5. In the entering, we find in both Neptune and Uranus coming those particular interests as may be found, not only in mystery and in occult forces, but in that especial application of same. Especially in this individual life there will be found much of those conditions that will be out of the ordinary; for, as is seen under the Uranian forces, there has - and is yet to come - especially in the latter portion of the present year - those conditions that will bring exceptional OPPORTUNITIES for expansion to this entity, especially from across large bodies of water, and of the entity's VISIT to those old scenes - as would be termed from present experience - of the endeavors as the entity has had in this material plane; for many are the appearances - much has been the development - much has been the retarding - and much has been the advancing of the entity; for, as is given, these are as the application of will, which is the developing factor in and through the material plane.
6. In that of Jupiter and Venus there comes the long life, and the full one - in that between the thirty-third and forty- third (33rd and 43rd) year. Especially in this period comes the greater changes, the greater eccentricity of change - more unusual than would be ordinary in an individual life. [See 778-2, Par. 8-A, 9-A, on 1/5/35.]
7. As to that as manifest as personality in the present experience, we find:
8. One of exceptional abilities; gifted in almost any line in which the entity applies self to use for self or for others.
9. As to that of the weakness of the entity, this is along those lines of the mis-understandings of others as respecting the entity's intent and purpose, whether as toward friend or foe. [See 778-2, Par. 10-A, 11-A, on 1/5/35.]
10. The entity is one that easily makes friends and forgets friends.
11. One that easily acquires position, or one that may make self amenable to whatever the circumstance or degree of change that may come to the entity.
12. IN THE APPEARANCES:
778-1 Page 3
13. In the one before this we find in that period when there were many changes being made under that known as the rule of the destruction, or bringing about revolution in France. The entity then among those who were in and about the court, and of those who served in that of assistant to the one acting as the queen in that period. Sedate, calm, and ever giving much advice - GAINING through much of the experience in that period; losing in the fear of expressing self. Then in the name Lucia - and in the present we find these inner urges: The desire of the entity to know the inner operations of those conditions that direct the spirit force of each entity in high position. Not as pertains to religious or to political, or to economic or to social, but that inner desire to know what - WHAT - directs the forces of one in power or position (In the thirty-fourth year the entity will learn much of how this is applied in self and in others, for the entity will be among those of royalty). [See 778-2, Par. 5-A, on 1/5/35.]
14. In the one before this we find in that period when there were persecutions in the Roman rule, during the period of Nero's reign. The entity then again in that position of one near to those in the household of the king, and counselled often with those of wanton heart and mind. Losing through the experience in the aggrandizement of selfish motives, selfish purpose, and gaining plaudits of peoples. In the urge as is seen from this experience in the present life (as was passed then through Saturn's forces), that of the inner expression of self as pertaining to the fear of what others will say; this being far from that the entity wills to carry; hence we have a combativeness within the entity as respecting these especial conditions.
15. In the one before this we find among the plains of that known as the Indian country, and the entity then among those that were of the cult of Uhlman (?), and the entity gave much to the peoples in that period, only losing in the selfish aggrandizement of body. In this period we find the entity in the name Iolia. There may much yet be found in this land that is applicable in the periods of the present day. This the land of that of the Himalayas Range. The entity, as the priestess, gave much good to many of the peoples. Only in self did there come the destroying or destructive forces. In the urge from this experience, we find that desire for the mysteries of all religious cults as were studied by the entity in that period, being then one that may - even in the present experience - apply self in that way and manner in which the correlation of those truths as may be gathered together from the many various cults of
778-1 Page 4
the Eastern land - combined in such a way and manner through the efforts of the entity - as to bring much good to many peoples in the present earth's experience. Well that these be applied in the present experience.
16. In the one before this we find in that Egyptian period when there was the division (as would be termed in present day) of church and state. The entity then among those who followed the priest in that departure in exile, and ministering often to those who were with that priest, and coming again into prominence through the service rendered in that period. In the name Asiah, and the entity gained most through this experience in the earth's plane, and this - combined with that gained in the lessons in the one following - should be applied in the study and in the manifestations of the work that may be attempted, or accomplished by the entity, in the present experience; even as the student, the writer, the teacher, the exponent of those truths as are found in the applying of all religious forces as combined in unison to make known the oneness of the purpose of the Creative Force to bring about the whole Oneness of man's concept of this Creative Energy.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) How long will the entity be in this country? (A) As to those appearances, it would be until October or November, present year.
19. (Q) And then where is the body going? (A) East.
20. (Q) Does that mean Europe or India? (A) Europe and India.
21. (Q) Will the entity stay in India the rest of the life or come back here? (A) Apply that as has been given as respecting how the entity should act as regarding these. The entity is of its own free will, as was given. There are set lessons and truths as the entity may apply to self, and its duty to self, to give knowledge, truth and understanding, to others. Whether it takes far or near, apply self, would the entity build that necessary for the full complete development of the entity in this earth's experience.
22. (Q) How long will the entity continue in the present work? (A) Until it chooses to change! As given, there are those forces being set about wherein these changes may come - these definite conditions as appear from those of forces from abroad and from near. Application of self as respecting these is of self's will, and not of that as is read in stars.
23. We are through for the present.
