1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe that are in the experience of the entity now known as [857].
2. In entering this present experience, we find the entity coming under both benevolent and adverse influences. Hence we will find there will be periods in the early developing, the early years in the experience, when there must be particular precautions taken as respecting the throat and the stomach. These are innate from that which has been from an experience in the earth, and in the present those precautions must be taken as respecting same. Coming under the influence we find of Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus; these, as we find, will bring or make for many changes in the early portion of the experience of the entity in the present, with the benevolent influences in Jupiter making for a greater expansion, of course, in the activities of the entity in the material and in the social and in those ways as of opportunities for expressions in its activities. These, to be sure, are innate and will depend upon the training during the formative and developing years of experience of the entity in the present.
3. We will find Mercury a high mental cunning, and activities that will make for those tendencies towards the artistic temperaments that will be expressed rather in body movements. Hence these should be, as we find, the greater developments for the entity in the expression of same in the material experience.
4. Those influences in Venus make for friendships, relationships in such activities coming in the early portion of the entity's teen and the early portion of the twenty year periods in the experience of the entity. These also must depend upon the manner in which the training or the
857-1 Page 2
activative forces are used that tend to make for the associations and the contacts that may be made by the entity during these special periods of experience.
5. As to the appearances in the earth, and that will influence the entity in the present, we find:
6. Before this the entity was in and about that place known as Williamsburg, in the land of the present nativity, during those periods when there were the establishings of the associations with other lands and with those of the same land as to the activity respecting the freedom of the land.
7. The entity then was in the name Carol again - Carol Fawncet; and gained and lost, aiding much in the help that the entity proved to be to those of its own household and the associations of those that made for the activities as related to the education and activity of those in those early periods of the experience. And these may be found about the present activity that which will bring it close in associations with those experiences. The entity lost when there were the turmoils over those experiences when the associations or the associates of the entity made for the separations through the activities in the land towards the farther north. this brought strife, turmoils in the experience of the entity; and making for those activities that made for the mental and spiritual activities to become less and less prompted by that which is the development of the soul forces in an entity.
8. Before that we find it was in that now known as the French land, during the periods of the Crusades when thee were the gatherings of those from many lands for the activities towards the preservations of tenets and the places in the Holy Land.
9. The entity was among those who aided in counseling those, yet being left and being made - as it were - an example to many that were the leaders in that experience, brought for the entity disorder and disturbance in the ideals as respecting what had been the promptings in those experiences of those who went as preservers for an ideal. Then the entity was in the name Berndein.
10. In the present there will be seen those tendencies or the necessities for the trainings for the developing periods, for this experience will make for those tendencies for the separation of self - in its developing years - from what may be termed orthodox activity, or as related to things pertaining to the moral or religious life; for the entity will be of its own self - or the innate activities - a free thinker, a tendency towards those activities to make for experiences and associations that to some might become
857-1 Page 3
questioned. To self it must be not as a law to self but will depend upon the manner in which the training of same is during those formative years.
11. Before that we find it was during the periods when the Master walked in the earth, and among those children that were blessed by Him on the way from Bethany.
12. The entity then beheld Him, knew Him, as one that drew children to Him and made of them and their lives an illustration of the manner in which people, men, women, everywhere, must accept those activities of their fellow associates. For if one would be forgiven as a child, one must forgive those that would - or do - err against self.
13. The entity heard that spoken by Him, "Lest ye become as little children ye will in no wise enter in."
14. Then the entity was of the household of Cleopas, in the Clementina; and in the experience gained throughout, gained in the mental and the spiritual developments as attained through the experience. Being in the early teens when the incidents in the activities of those the had become the leaders and the teachers in those people that were tested, trained, taught by Him, the entity made for assistance especially to Mark and Luke in their activities as they accompanied those that made for the giving out of the tenets during that experience.
15. The entity became very closely associated with Mark in the activities that made for the preservation of those tenets, of those lessons as we find in the gospel recorded by Mark.
16. In the present there will be seen those attractions to those teachings and those activities and lessons, yet unless - from other experiences - these are made as practical things and practical applications in the experience, these may make for stumbling blocks as the entity's own PERSONALITY defies its individuality.
17. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were turmoils and strifes, and those separations of the natives and the king's own household. The entity enjoined self with those in the Ibex rebellion, yet with those periods of reestablishing, those periods of the tentative activities towards the preservations of the material aids for dis-ease in the experience of individuals, the entity's activities were in not only the temple service but in what would be today called the hospitalization. These make for very definite urges innate in the experience, as that of the dance and the music in the temple, and as those still may be applied to the healings of individuals in their distresses
857-1 Page 4
or disorders in their lives.
18. As to the development, then, and that to which the entity may attain, and how:
19. First, as has been indicated, those precautions must be taken respecting the health especially through those periods of July and August of the present year, and again in October and to the middle of November; the first as respecting the digestive system, the second as respecting the throat and its relationships to activities.
20. Then the training through the formative years and the developing years must be in those lines that pertain to that which the entity gained as Clementina, when there were those tenets given that made for the greater development in the experience.
21. As to the activities in which the entity may make for itself rather an experience in the earth, these may be developed depending upon what is to be the motivative influence in the experience of the entity.
22. Then, let those about the entity make rather these:
23. As this entity has come into the earth for the expressions of that it, the entity, gained in its activities as specifically in the Palestine experience, then may they dedicate themselves for a service as not only by precept but by expressions for self THIS soul may have that opportunity for its expressions for self and the aid it may bring to others during this experience. For He gave that we through Him might have the greater understanding. Know that He doeth all things well.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) What is the entity's life work, and how may it be best trained for it? (A) Read just that as has been given. It may be either in the dance or the music.
26. (Q) Who was the entity during the Ibex rebellion? (A) Aided with those peoples of the natives that joined with the King's brother in the rebellion, in the name Apt Eisi.
27. (Q) Has the entity ever known its present parents and sister before? (A) We would have to have those; we have only the entity here. We may seek. As there is the dependence upon, as has been indicated, the early formative periods, we find the father associated only with the entity - of THIS household, and that during the period in Williamsburg.
28. (Q) What is the entity's seal and its interpretation?
857-1 Page 5
(A) The Cross, the hammer and the harp. These in the positions as of the seal or great seal of the Egyptian experience, but the Cross rising in the center, making for that interpretation that this must be the guiding factor and force through labor and that of service in harmony throughout its activity.
29. (Q) Has the entity ever been associated with [603] in any of its former appearances? (A) We haven't [603]. We may seek. In Egypt, we find, the associations there were very close.
30. (Q) Will they be closely associated during this period? (A) That depends upon personal applications and associations.
31. (Q) Is the name which the entity now carries a suitable one for its development? (A) As it has been before, it's a natural tendency for harmonious activities and experiences or vibrations for the entity.
32. (Q) Kindly give advice and council for the parents and guardians of the entity which would enable or assist them - (A) (Interrupting) As has been indicated, through those formative periods; first the physical - in July, August, of the physical body - the digestive forces; and in October and first of November as respecting the throat or the voice. And MOST of all those trainings by precept, by example, in those tenets of Him that said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
