1. EC: We find this soul, body, spirit or the entity as at present completed upon the earth plane in the evening, and these we find conditions in the astrological forces in reference to inclinations and destiny irrespective of will force. Those influences under which this body come are those of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, with phases of Venus forces giving afflictions. Those of Sagittarius also giving afflictions coming under the zodiacal sign of Aquarius. The influences then as we find come:

2. One well builded in body and mind, yet often under those Sagittarius forces that give the pains in physical to digestive tract and the head, when under the Aries sign with the Moon's phases. In the forces then we find will entering much in the developing to the present time.

3. One given to the love of the arts.

4. One given to the love of the social life in strange connections.

5. One given to the ennobling forces in the love of arts or of spiritual or soul elements.

6. One given to bring much joy to many peoples, in those especially in the sign of Scorpio and Gemini.

7. One that is above the normal in the forces as are manifest through Jupiter elements.

8. One that is destined to have many inconveniences in life's pathway by the conditions as presented in Venus under unfavorable conditions.

9. One that, however, in the ennobling influence of Jupiter's forces, with Mercury, finds much that will be builded upon those influences that have apparently been detrimental.

10. One that should ever keep in the straight and narrow way that leads to the developing of the soul and spirit forces in this present plane.

11. One whose greater force lies in giving the incentive to others to follow in that straight and narrow way that leads

to the understanding of the One that gives Peace, Joy and Life to the World.

12. One whose vocation lies in that of the arts, and in the developing of others to understand the beauty of the soul and spirit forces of themselves.

13. As to the will's influence as has been manifested into the body at the present time, we find much that has been of good, much that has brought the understanding to self of self's attitude that has its effect in the physical plane.

14. In those of appearances as in this plane, we find before this in that of the time when Nero ruled in that land and brought much destruction to those that cleaved unto the straight and narrow way. In this we find the name of Pontalu [?] [Polito? as given in 779-9.], and was of the guard who saw much destruction to the physical bodies of those who served the Prince of Peace. In the present sphere we find that love for those who give themselves to the study of those elements that were taught as then, with ever the inmost feeling or desire to make self a part of such, yet just keeping away in the outward show of such.

15. In the sphere before this, we find in the plane of the forces when the rule in the land now known as Arabia was under that of Cyrus, and was the soldier in that land, yet the artisan that gave the force, the incentive in building of the wall that turned the tide that allowed the forces to march into the city that the waters passed through, and in the present sphere much of the inclination to be the worker in stone, as is seen, as reached from that condition, and the inward feeling to study the water courses and of the manner that they are controlled.

16. In that before this, we find in the region of Atlantis when the Poseida forces shone in the greater rule, and this entity then was the ruler in that country.
