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 [801].
2. In entering the present experience we find the entity is indeed one that may be said to be in the influence of - in the astrological understanding - the cusps. While such influences are different, according to the information concerning same that has been given by many, we find that those who are near to the rising of one influence and the submerging - as it were - of another - are oft in those experiences where, from the mental abilities or mental developments, they are in a strait, as it were, as to what should be the activity. For there are the tendencies for such individuals to reason through the influence of those urges that arise from Leo or of the head, or Pisces as of the spiritual import. Hence to such individuals we find those influences of virtue, morality, activities of individuals as related to these mean much more - or their import are of a great deal more influence in the experience of such an entity than much said by this, that or the other person. Such individuals, then, have within themselves that innate ability to become really a judge of human nature; and such individuals in such capacities in any activity or experience in the earth may make for themselves and for others a teacher, instructor, detective, or one of such natures or such fields of activity that are beyond most individuals.
3. From the astrological standpoints, then, we find these as urges - or as sojourns of the entity or soul in these influences and environs, thus bringing to the mental activity of the entity, [801] called in the present, these in the experience:
801-1 Page 2
4. In Jupiter we find the ennobling influences, the seeking for those channels or activities wherein there may be the betterment of not only the material surroundings but that there may be the growth in the mental capacities, mental abilities of the entity. While these come as experiences rather than those that may be had only by the influence of tenets, these are innate; and as these have their influence upon those individuals in such sojourns there should come in the next sixty to ninety days (for then we find Jupiter rising to those positions that, as the choice is made by the entity, there should be) the settling of many of those things respecting the life's work of the entity during this experience or this sojourn. For the opportunities through those months especially of the latter portion of March, through the month of April and May in the present year, should bring the setting or the definite planning by the entity of those activities that should be - and will be - the greater experiences. Not that they will all be of one accord, but - as is often indicated - these are the beginnings, and then the growths come from the activity and the application of an individual to opportunity in its experience. These, as we find, have been adverse especially from those periods of October thirty-two ('32) when there were those experiences in the activities of the entity that brought contentions, misunderstandings, conditions that became as adverse influences in the experience of the entity. These, as we find, will deal with those things under which the entity has grown in the experience, or during that experience.
5. We have had also those sojourns in the influence of Venus, that makes for the peculiar or unusual associations in filial, martial, marital, or in those relationships in all love's influence that has had its bearings upon the entity in these experiences. For, as we find, the entity chooses - as has been indicated - its friends, rather than having the friends thrust upon it; for while the acquaintances that may come through the Jupiterian influence are of a wide field of experience and varied in the activities, those whom the entity seeks as the greater friendships mean the greater loves in the experience of the entity. In those influences we find these overshadowed by Mars, making for the experiences when madness, wrath, temper, the activities in such things bring the adverse influence for the entity. And these have had, may have - depending upon the choice or activity of the entity - those things that bring unhappiness, those things where the experiences or associations become such as to make for
801-1 Page 3
distraughtness in the experiences; yet the benevolent influence of Jupiter, with the receding influences of Mars in these periods through the coming months just before the entity, should make for the settling of many of old scores, as it were, by the correct choice of the entity in its mental, its material, and in its associations in its activities. These, to be sure, are as urges. As to what the entity does with or about such makes for that which comes into the experience as a physical or material result. For urges from astrological sojourns, or from those experiences, are as the MENTAL urges; not as the PHYSICAL. And the choice of these brings into the experience in the physical the material activities of the entity.
6. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those that have their influence upon the entity in the present, that deal more with the emotional forces of the body itself and not in its quieter or its saner intuitive influence, we find:
7. Before this the entity was in the earth during the periods of the settlings in the present native land of the entity, when there were those disturbances between the first settlers of the land in that particular portion and those in the lands north of same - or during the time of what may be said to be the French and Indian warfare, among the settlers in that land.
8. Then in the name Fredrice, the entity was among the leaders that aided in settling as to the boundary lands of that particular portion; gaining and losing during the experience, for such activities made the opportunities for self-indulgence, self-aggrandizement, and many of those that suffered physically or in the mental did so because of the mandates or edicts of the entity during some of those periods of activity. In the latter portion of the entity's sojourn, in what is now known as Erie, Penna., there were made many of those expressions and the attempts of the entity to rectify within the own self's conscience much of the damage done; and to some of the people in that particular land it brought a development - thus a development in the entity's experience.
9. In the present from that experience we find the influences wherein differences and indifferences have arisen, do arise in the experience of the entity in its associations. And it oft appears to the entity as if grudges by others are being used as the means for changing the relationships of self and those whom the entity has in a manner come to trust or rely upon for their activity, association and connection with the activities of the
801-1 Page 4
entity.
10. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the French, during the periods when there were the uprisings and the attempts of those people to aid Charles the Second to return to the throne of his father, when there had been the rebellions of those people in the English land.
11. The entity then was among those who aided to reestablish those people, in the capacity of the courier - or, during those periods, the go-between with many that were in power both in the British land and those who were the aides to the young prince.
12. Then in the name Armarello, the entity gained through the greater portion of the activity; for in the establishing of the claims of others, in those aids even at self's own sacrifice to make for the activities that would bring the greater service to the greater number of individuals, did the entity - from the soul and spiritual forces - make for gains or developments within self.
13. And in the present may be found a development for the entity in the material, the mental and the spiritual welfare, with the associations add activities in relationship to individuals or to groups that are seeking for their activities or the accomplishment of any special purpose or service or activity in the present. Hence we see from that experience and those activities and developments of the entity, the fields of the greater service for the entity in the present would be in any of its associations dealing with peoples or between peoples of this land or that land, or those activities turning to what may be called a diplomatic service, or as a representative of the land, or with those acting in the capacity of such; or in those relations in the capacity as an aide to those where there are the larger establishments for the entertaining of guests, or as to the hotel activity as a clerk, as a manager; which, according to the activities or sojourns of the entity, may make for the greater expansion in the experience of the entity. But, as we find, those that would tend towards the service in the capacity of an attache of, or associated with an embassy in a land, or as related to such activities, would bring for the entity those opportunities for the expression of the abilities in those endeavors.
14. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Persian or Arabian, during the periods when there were the buildings in the city of the hills and plains, when there were the gatherings of many peoples from many lands for the succor and aid that was given by those
801-1 Page 5
peoples in that EXPRESS activity.
15. The entity then was among those of what is now known as the Grecian land, who came with those peoples who would override or who would destroy the activities in that particular expression. Yet, though they brought destruction to many, the ENTITY gained in its associations with the ruler in that particular experience or activity. For, though those destructions brought many people into hard lines, owing to the destruction of portions of the land by the soldiery with whom the entity came, the entity - receiving succor and aid and help and understanding - became very closely associated with the leader Uhjltd, aiding in CARRYING the tenets and the teachings and the activity further into that then known as the Chaldean land, or towards the Indian land and what is now the eastern portion of southern Persia.
16. In the experience the entity, in the name Ishmaelli, gained in the spiritual import, in those urges that make for the high expression and high ideals of morality, of love and the expressions of same into material influences and forces. Hence if these are kept as ideals, though the way in the material life may appear to be all the harder, there may come a satisfying, an expression of the inner self that brings peace and harmony that makes for the life or the expression of life becoming more and more worth while in the experience and in the expression of same.
17. Before that we find the entity was in the Atlantean land, during the periods when there were many of the divisions that called for and produced the destructive forces in that land. Yet when there were the expressions of those in power to raise those who were of the menial class, or the workers in the fields of activity that brought what is known as the agricultural or the social service, the entity was the intermediator for the own peoples of the lower class or caste to those of the higher. And through such associations there were made those abilities that innately and expressly find themselves in its associations; as to the courtesy, the kindness, the activities that may become the keynote for the expression of self in the present.
18. The entity was not among those to be sent to the Egyptian land, but rather among those that went to the western portions of the land and eventually to that known as the Yucatan and the Central American land; for in those sojourns the entity was active in establishing a development in the agricultural field, or the growth of those things that made for the sustenance in the new land. The entity
801-1 Page 6
gained particularly in the latter portion, for then being carried to those positions of power and authority he aided in the activities that made for the establishment of the studies as to the Laws of ONE in that particular land, being in the name then Amielee.
19. As to the abilities of the entity in the present and that to which it may attain, and how:
20. First, as may be said from the experiences, the ideals or ideas are high. The ideals would be set first rather in those things that are of the spiritual import and intent. Working with these as the background for the mental and material applications in self will bring for the entity the greater spiritual, mental and physical development; particularly in either those activities in which the entity may bring for self its relationships with those that are in authority as the consulate service or the embassy service. And the training for such in its own present surroundings may make for that in which there may come the greater opportunity, the greater development in the present.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) How will I be able to get into the type of work that I am best fitted for? (A) In the associations in the present surroundings there are those abilities for the developing or the tending towards the study of those things that fit the body for the activities in that particular field of service, whether chosen in the embassy service or in the activities or associations with those in the consulate service; choosing as to how and to whom these should go. As the association has been in the government relationships, there are those particular training schools in the present surroundings for such an activity. And once this is begun, it means the constant advancement in those activities to a more satisfactory relationship. First, of course, as the clerk, as the secretarial activity. Hence those things that make for the preparations in these directions are the fields and the direct manner in which these would be made.
23. (Q) Should I continue at school and what should I study? (A) As these are a portion of the preparations, or that may be made a portion of the preparations in school, it would be well.
24. (Q) Which particular school would be best? (A) In those that are presented by the government's activities for the preparation of individuals in these particular lines of service.
25. (Q) Should I marry for money or love?
801-1 Page 7
(A) Let this ever be for the love that is a real deeper portion of the entity's inner self. While outward appearance may at times be those things that may satisfy for the moment, there is innate within self a rebellion at such conditions.
26. (Q) Should my mother and I settle our trial out of court if offered a settlement? (A) As we find, there will be - there are those negotiations opened whereby there may be - the opportunity, and which would make or become the greater blessing to all and the greater opportunity for an amicable, equitable settlement OUT of court. While these are in the present very adverse from the outward appearances, as we find, with negotiations opened with those that are in the position for the activity, with the coming months there will be the way in which the greater help can come to all concerned.
27. (Q) Should my mother go into business? (A) Not before the spring, if then; for by then we find changes may come about.
28. (Q) Please give counsel regarding choice to be made by entity in coming months, as referred to. (A) As the opportunities come through the general activities that arise from the innate urges, we will find that those things that have their basis in spiritual import are of the creative forces and thus the more lasting. While we may find those periods when for the moment, or for the material blessings, the choice might be in this or that direction for the moment, that has little to do with other than just material things - the choice in such directions might be in the limelight. But those directions where the spiritual import is the impelling force are to be chosen by the self. Let thyself be guided by those things that come to self in thy quieter moments, as ye meditate upon those conditions in self's experience that make for the adhering to the spiritual lessons thou hast gained from day to day.
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
