1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are recorded here in the experience of the entity presenting itself as [892].
2. In giving that we find recorded respecting the activities of the entity in the earth, and interpreting those experiences of same in its sojourns through those environs about the earth in the interim, we find it well that these be considered from their astrological aspects as well as from the material or earthly sojourn.
3. As to these relations, then, we find rather than the position of the planet, the zodiacal signs, the relationships in the sun, the moon, or those influences set from the position of the planet at birth, it is the entity's sojourning in their environ that makes for the influence such conditions have - rather than merely a position of same at time of birth. For if it were alone the time of birth, those influences would always remain either adverse or of the constructive nature; yet - as is experienced - these change, dependent upon the entity's entering those experiences in a sojourn when it - the influence of a sojourn in the environ - becomes as a benevolent or as an adverse influence; dependent upon the manner in which the individual, the soul-entity, applies those influences, those opportunities, in material activity.
4. As would be from a knowledge of a language, a dialect of a normal activity in any environ about an earthly sojourn, the knowledge without the application brings not that as is the result of the knowledge. Hence as we find for this entity in this appearance, these are as influences in the INNATE or the soul force - or as those that come as the deeper urges, but irrespective of what the entity does about same; but the entity having sojourned in these environs,
892-1 Page 2
these conditions - as from the expression or consciousness there - find an active influence in the mental expression of the soul-self of the entity:
5. Jupiter makes for a seeking, a breadth of vision in many fields of activity; in those that delve into the inmost expressions of mass, group or individual. Yet these have been at an adverse influence in the experience; for Saturn having also an expression in the entity's sojourning there has made for many changes or many influences that make for hindrances to the greater abilities of the entity in the seeking in those directions. Yet these should, in the coming months and year, show for a more benevolent activity.
6. Also the entity's sojourn in Uranus and Neptune makes for its interests in those things of the mystic-occult natures that deal rather with the initiate and the influences that prompt from the baser as well as the spiritual and the higher influences in the activities of entities, of individuals, of the greater masses.
7. The associates in those environs also make for the interests of the entity, innate and manifested, in the higher influences in spiritual welfare of others; yet making, in the manner of application, as it were, that which has closed the entity to many of its own possibilities in these directions.
8. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those that make for the greater influence in the expressions of the entity in the present, we find these from the records here:
9. Before this we find the entity was in that land about what is now known as or called Salem, or Province Town, during those periods when there were those that were experiencing the influence of an outer-influence in their material expressions.
10. The entity then was the minister of a peoples there, that was first questioned as to his own activity and then - belittling his own abilities - called into question many of those that were of his own household, even; and of those peoples that were of his own charge, in the name then Abanethey.
11. And there may be found, in that particular influence and surrounding, a record of those activities there.
12. That experience brought many of the questionings in the experience of the entity, making for a period of retardment rather than advancement during that sojourn. Yet in the latter portion of the experience, in the attempt to make for the correction of much that had been set in motion by self, the entity gained by the very purpose and aim of its activities. Though overridden by those in authority and
892-1 Page 3
those that were in the State - or as the rule in same, which caused the entity to suffer in body.
13. In the present from that experience, such influences - such experiences that have had to deal with individuals, whether in vision, in spirit, in dream, in metaphysical, in the esoteric and esoteric influences - become questionings first, of studying when apparent, of making for a portion or partial application when found to be of those natures that answer to that something builded innately within the self from that sojourn.
14. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Roman, during those periods when there were the attempts, when there were the beginnings of the declarations by those in authority - as Constantine.
15. The entity then was associated in the capacity of what today would be termed the physician for the court, though then as much the barber, or as much the clerk, or as much the footman; yet these were those activities of the entity then for that ruler.
16. With those declarations of the ruler for the activities as associated with the tenets of the church, or the tenets of the attempts of those peoples to make for the declaring of same as a portion of the State activity, the entity urged to make for this as the declaration. Yet when there came many of those changes that were wrought by the change in those of authority in other lands, the entity attempted to withdraw the support; making for a period of disruption in the household of Constantine.
17. And the entity finds in the present those experiences, feelings and expressions pertaining to rote in the affairs of church or state, as a thing that at times the entity feels gives expression to or innately finds as an activative force that these should be one; and again as far, as far from same as is possible.
18. Hence those tenets that were gained by the entity, as Abbe Delehum in the experience, that each soul, each entity, each body must be accountable first unto itself and the promptings of its own conscience, and then to that authority that it has CHOSEN as its means, manner or way of expressing itself as to its fellows; whether this be in church, in state, in nations, or in the affairs that pertain to greater relationships in the earth.
19. This gives to the entity also in the present those interests in the promptings of the affairs of international activity, yet the entity remains most in the study or the seeking of its own expressions; though these things find their part in the meditation and in the thought of the
892-1 Page 4
entity.
20. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Persian or Arabian, in the city of the hills and plains when the teacher of the nomads had arisen to one of power or accomplishments among the Egyptians, the Indians, the Persians, the Caucasians, the Mongoloids (that are names to designate merely their position, for each save the Egyptian bore different names during the experience).
21. The entity was among those of the Persian peoples that made a study of, and an association with the leader Uhjltd in that experience; being among those that made the records. And among the treasures that may be found in those caves and those portions of the city outside of that town in Arabia, called Shushtar, there may be found much of the records that the entity made; for it was what would be termed in the present as the Town Clerk during that experience.
22. Through that sojourn the entity gained; for there was the greater understanding of the Law of One, the expression of those things that are as the fruits of the spirit that may find expression in matter by the relations or activities of the individual towards its fellow man - these found the greater expression in the entity during that sojourn, as Abiduel, and made for those periods of manifestation during that sojourn.
23. In the present from that experience comes the ability for the interpretation of relationships with individuals as to sects, individuals and groups as to nations and their environments, as to cities and their environments. Hence the entity in a field of activity that would deal with the moral as well as the social and mental relationships of groups as accorded to law and order in city, state or nation, may make for an activity in which the entity may find in the present among its greater expressions and greater developments.
24. Before that we find the entity was in that now known or spoken of as the Atlantean land, during those periods when Poseidia or portions were in the rule after the first upheaval or separations of the land or continent.
25. Then the entity rose to the position of power as a representative of the Law of One, as disseminating to the developing individuals or peoples that were in their form of evolution from the lower forms to their activities when there was the discarding of appendages and relationships with the forces of the animal nature in the experience. And the entity made for great advancements, yet making for the uprisings with the sons of Belial that warred against the entity as the ruler Ihuel (as would be in the form of
892-1 Page 5
spelling in the present) made for the entity's advancement in the mental, the material, the spiritual self. For then the entity made for the giving to all the purposes for which the self was to make the sacrifices necessary for the alleviating of not only the material surroundings, but keeping that purity in self as to make for the oneness with the Creative Forces in the expression in matter.
26. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
27. First in self find what are the promptings for thy activities, in relationships to thy fellow man. Know thy ideal; not of mental or material import but of the spiritual. For MIND is the builder, the Spirit is the motivative force and is the turning of self to the things of the spirit; then may the promptings make for that in the experience in whatever direction the activities may be taken, to be of a CONSTRUCTIVE nature in the experience of the entity. And only these bring peace, harmony, joy of life, of service, of activity.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) How successful will the entity be with the lawsuit case coming up - supposed to have come up the 8th, and will come up any day now? (A) It's been deferred until the 17th, and should arise then; and, after a period of delay again, there should be satisfaction.
30. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
