1. EC: (In going back over years to birth date - "'29, '28 - Some hard seasons! '27, '26," etc.)
2. Yes, we have the record of the entity here, and those relations with the universe and the universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personality and individuality of the entity called [846].
3. BRIGHT, bright indeed are those surroundings that portend for a great awakening for the entity before this time next season!
4. In entering the present experience in the earth, through those associations of the entity's activities in the earth, and in the interims sojourn in this solar aspect, we find - for the more perfect understanding:
5. Know that the sojourning of the entity or soul in those environs about the earth, or of which the earth is a part, makes for those things that INNATELY influence the entity in its associations and activities in the present experience, or in any experience. For, as there is seen from association of ideals, of ideas, and their relative relationships with the activities of an entity, it becomes a portion of same - even as a brogue or as a habit, or as an activity that becomes a part of the emotions or motions of a body. This is an illustration. Not that it manifests, save in the INNER self.
6. As we find, there are the influences of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Uranus in the experience of the entity. And soon there enters the experience in those periods at the birthday in the present year when Jupiter, with Venus' sojourn, makes for the greater awakening or greater development in the application of the entity in this earthly sojourn.
7. One, then (but this is irrespective of what the entity does about the urges), with a high temper; that may make for
846-2 Page 2
a great expression or may make for those influences that would become stumbling experiences in the activities of the entity.
8. From the activities of the Uranian sojourn, the entity is interested in that which makes for the emotions in the experience of peoples; whether they are of the mystic, occult, scientific, or ORDINARY individuals - as would be termed in common parlance. This makes for the eccentricities of the entity in its relationships with individuals. And it depends upon the application of same as to whether these become as stepping-stones for the higher emotions or higher activities, or whether they become as stumbling-stones over which the entity may - in its application of its ideal - become as one tripped upon its own self.
9. In Jupiter we find the greater vision, the greater abilities in specific fields of activity; not only from that as accomplished by the entity in its activities in the earth (as will be seen) but through the application of that as attained in its sojourn in the environment.
10. Venus makes for that which becomes the bright or shining light in the experience, and in its development; that is, its love for its fellow man, and the manner, the way, that it would make for the greater education - or application of education - in the experiences of individuals; as well as love for children, love for those that have their problems and their stumbling in their own selves and in those things that make for the experiences of problems in their own activities.
11. As to what the entity has accomplished, or may accomplish in the experience in the present as respecting these urges, has depended and will depend upon what is the basis of its ideal. Not as an idealist, but rather as one making the application of the motivative forces towards constructive influences in the experience of individuals as associated with the activity of the entity in its relationships with others.
12. As to the appearances in the earth and those that influence the entity in the present, we find:
13. Before this the entity was in that now known as the Vineland, or THEN known as the Vineland - now the eastern land, in and about Provincetown and Salem.
14. It was during those periods when there were the questionings of many that had to do with those things which partook of the unseen influences in the movement, in the activity, in those things that many spoke of - as of possession, as of activity.
846-2 Page 3
15. The entity neither accepted nor rejected such, yet was counted among those that were questioned because the entity saw fit to befriend those that were in need of a friend. This in the MATERIAL applications brought destructive forces, but in the mental and spiritual force it made for a development through that sojourn; though it was only of a short duration, for the entity only reached then the age of twenty-three. And there may be found the record in the old Salem churchyard of Sally Hellinger (?), who was among those that were dipped once too often - that brought about pneumonia, as would be called today. The record may be found there, bearing Sally Hellinger (?) - twenty-three - fourteenth of April.
16. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Roman, during those periods when there were many changes being wrought in the experience of the peoples as related to the foreign lands or to those environs that were produced by the influx of those from other lands into the activities of Rome and its peoples at the time.
17. The entity then was among those that were brought from what is now know as the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the attempts of that queen to prevent the overthrow of the activities during that experience.
18. The entity, then, was an aide to, or a waiter upon, not as a servant but rather as the companion of, that queen; and was in the name then She-Hepho.
19. In the experience the entity became as a companion, or the wife (later), of one of the ruler's guards in that period.
20. Hence the story, the tales, the history of Cleopatra and those activities of that particular land have been at times a thing tabu - at others as an experience through which the entity has passed.
21. And we find an association very close in the present with those activities with the entity and the helpmate during that experience; and this may work out for a great development for both. For as the light comes, not as for the political power - as is associated with the individual in its activities in the present - but as these changes come in the associations and life, it may make for an advancement of the entity - that was in the name She-Hepho during the Roman experience of the first Caesars.
22. In the present from that sojourn, the stories of those activities and body-adornment, the beauty of body, those things that pertain to life in its very essence, become a portion of the entity's experience; and are sought in its activity.

23. Before that we find the entity was in that land now know as or called the Promised Land, during those periods when there were the settlings of the land, when first the land of promise came to be a portion of Abraham's or Abram's and Sarai's activity.
24. The entity then was among the daughters of Heth, of those peoples in that land, in the name then Beloi, and was very closely associated with Sarah, Abraham, Lot, and those people that settled in the plains about those plains of Abraham. And the entity's daughter became then the leading among those that made for the combinations of the peoples of Isaac's son and those of the Canaanite land.
25. In the experience the entity gained, for it PROCLAIMED man of those tenets or lessons or philosophies, or activities - as would be called in the present - as to establishing the relationships with individuals, and what became as the Creative Forces or that philosophy of life as pertaining to the Creative Energies as given out by Abraham during he period. The entity proclaimed same to the peoples roundabout, and made for the closer companionships with those first leaders of those people set apart for an activity in the earth.
26. In the present the entity finds those histories, those things that pertain to those promises to those peoples, as a portion of self; and much of that given becomes innate in the activities of the entity in the present. And hold thou to that which becomes a portion of the counsel, not only of Sarai or Sarah but that as was proclaimed by Abram or Abraham, which comes to thee.
27. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were turmoils and strifes that arose from the banishment of the Priest, that had attempted to establish what might be called law and order as related to the spiritual life - not only of those that had sojourned there but of the native peoples.
28. The entity then was among the natives that joined with those that made for the rebellions in the land. Yet with the return of the Priest, with the establishing of the natives in those positions that made for the unity of the influences upon the activities of the natives and of those that were sojourning from other lands - during the periods of the tenets that were given that became the hospitalization, that became the first of the schools, that became the medicinal properties, and as the temple Service - the entity joined then with those that made for the establishings of the communicative forces in the varied lands and various places to which the various tenets were
846-2 Page 5
sent. For they were studied not only in the Indian land, the Mongoloid land, the Caucasian land, but the Incan land and those far beyond the seas. The entity then sent out much, in the name then De-La-Ar.
29. In the present from the experience we may find much that is in the abilities to give expression for the activities of others in their varied relationships with their fellow man.
30. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
31. It has been indicated that first there must be set in self that which is the basis for its ideal; not as in flesh, not as in attainment, not as in position, power, fame, fortune; but the IDEAL In the spiritual sense. For the Mind is the Builder. And ye are coming into that bright light, white light of thine experience in thine loving service to thy fellow man, that has made, is making for the advancements in thine own material self, in thine own mental self; and a growth in thine own soul-understanding.
32. In those things, then, that deal with not only the better social relations with the fellow man, not only those that make for the comforts and ease for the fellow man, but that which satisfies that inner longing for not only the unseen but to SEE, to know, to experience, that the love of the Father for the created is made manifest in that HIS children do one for another.
33. Ready for questions.
34. (Q) Was there an incarnation in India? (A) The entity sojourned there from the Egyptian; we do not find any sojourn there.
35. (Q) What significance is there in my name, Sarah [...] which has always been my inspiration? (A) As there were those activities as Sarah - Sally - that made for the promptings within self to be able to live, and - yea, to die for an idea, an ideal, hence the name becomes as a motivative force in the present experience.
36. (Q) What significance in my bringing up, and am I working out of such conditions correctly now? (A) As may be seen by the various experiences, each soul meets in its sphere of activity that it has created or made for itself. Yet these are being worked out, and - as indicated - a bright light shines about and before the entity.
37. (Q) Am I in the right line of work and can it develop into bigger, more worth while things? (A) In the right line of work, and may develop into that of a columnist - or those things that may be compiled in BOOKS, that will make for inspirational activity in many.
846-2 Page 6
38. (Q) I want to know about the man I love, and how things will work out for us, and how soon. (A) As indicated, he was the companion and associated with the entity in the Roman experience; and it is well.
39. We are through for the present. Copy to Edgar Cayce " " Ass'n file
