1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personality of the entity now known as [949].
2. In entering astrologically, or from the astrological viewpoint, we will find there are many variations from that as would ordinarily from such information be experienced in this experience of this entity; for the sojourns of the entity and the application of will as respecting those opportunities in the experiences, have altered or changed the physical, as well as the mental and soul development of the entity.
3. In the astrological aspects, irrespective of the will, we find these influences in the experience in the present:
4. Through the experiences in the environ of Mercury, we find the unusual mental abilities of the entity.
5. In Jupiter we find those abilities especially in the musical field, and the musical talents of the entity, as well as those abilities for the meeting, and the attitude that is held oft from those urges from the experiences in that environ.
6. In Mars AND Saturn do we find those influences that make for those obstructions, and those hindrances that are apparent in the physical, as well as the active forces of the mental body for this experience.
7. In Mars we find those tendencies to become easily irritated, that arise from (apparently to others) no cause at all.
8. In Saturn we find those afflictions in the applications to the physical being.
9. In Uranus we find those influences that may make for an advancement in the present, or development, of the innate and occult forces of the entity as a whole. This, then,
949-2 Page 2
makes for the combination of unusual or unseemly conditions in many ways, as respecting the abilities of, possibilities of, or the developments for the entity in this present experience; yet, as may be seen from the application of the entity to those opportunities in the experiences in the earth's plane, there may be that builded in the present - by the application of the will respecting the universal, or the continuity of forces in life - that may make for a development that may surpass any influence that has yet been in the experience of the entity. [9/9/38 See 949-13, Par. 19-A amplification in re Uranus influences.]
10. In the ABILITIES in the present, those outward expressions will be found - as will be seen from the experiences in the earth's plane - in the field of music; especially the piano, or a stringed instrument that may make for the awakening in the experience of others the rhythm and music that may span the spheres, or the experiences of many another, as to awaken in them the promise that the Spirit will make alive those remembrances to do good "to thine brother".
11. In the appearances, then:
12. In the one before this we find in that land now of the present nativity, and during those periods about Salem that persecutions came to those for their beliefs, and for those various experiences of individuals. The entity then among those that were of that as was called the Conservatives in the experience, and a teacher among those that persecuted those that had visions or dreams, or - as was termed - the familiar spirits. In the name then Haverhill. In this experience the entity lost, for there were those attempts to impel or induce by force others to view their awakenings or experiences in the same light or manner as viewed by self. Gaining in that when there came those disorders physical, with the change of environ - and coming under the influence of those in a southern clime from there, that led in the affairs of the cities - that in Providence town - the entity gained through ENABLING those to build for developments in that experience. In the influence in the present may be seen a particular interest in politics, and the effect that changes in administrations of various groups have upon the affairs of the peoples, or the places; yet this is held rather as a study than as something to indulge in personally by the entity.
13. In the one then before this we find in that period when there were the persecutions in the city of hills, when those that held to a tenet or teaching were persecuted through the fighting with beasts. The entity then among those of the
949-2 Page 3
soldiery in that experience, and jeered oft at those that became afraid - or those that would submit without any outward show of resistance, and the entity lost through this experience. Not from that of doing duty, but from that of the jeering at those that held to an ideal. The body was BROKEN through those experiences necessary for the awakening in that sphere, where there may become known to the entity that necessary for the awakening of the inner man, and the development of the spiritual forces innate in each soul's companion forces, that bring in each experience that which is added to that gained or taken from, in a manner that each must meet that as BUILDED in their experience. The saving force as manifest through Him is the ability to serve and be of succor to another, in whatever position or place they may need, or are placed in. In this experience the entity lost throughout, and in the name Romana. In the present, those experiences that have to do with defending or defenses by soldiery, or the like, are of peculiar interest to the entity; and the readings and studies of the entity are often directed towards those channels that bring to the REMEMBRANCE many of the experiences of individuals, in near and in foreign lands, in defenses of principles.
14. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during those periods when there were the reconstructions of those lost forces through the turmoils that had arisen from the changes in the conducting of the governments. The entity then among those of the musicians in that temple called Beautiful; gaining through these experiences, though coming under the experience of change through the banishment and return, the entity remained true to that as had been held as necessary forces for developments of individuals, and gave much to the peoples in the period through the playing of the instruments of that period, both in temple worship and in the dance that went with same, as well as in the singing - or songs that were brought INTO experience by the entity; and many of them may make for the developments to the entity in the present, will there be that particular study - in the music of the entity - of those that pertain to the GLORIFYING of forces that act upon the imaginative and mental forces of individuals, in service or in action in defense of any particular principle. [See 949-13, Par. 18-A amplification.] Writing music! In the present from this experience we find those innate influences that make for ability of some composition work in respect to these; those seekings within of those forces as to represent beauteous descriptions in either music or in act, or in peoples'
949-2 Page 4
experiences.
15. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Peruvian, during those experiences when there were changes made by the influx of others from the sinking lands. The entity among those natives who resisted, creating for self that of hate, through resistances made in the attempts of others to not placate, not to override, but the entity - in the name Omuld - brought to self, to others, THROUGH that, the persecutions, the false accusations, that made for contentions. In the present those experiences or tendencies to be made mad too easily, and the conditions that would BUILD contentions arise too easily in the experience of the entity.
16. In the abilities and that to which it may attain in the present:
17. Where there are ideals builded and adhered to, and these placed within those realms of the Creative Forces - that deal with man's experience in the earth, and man's relationship one to another, that make for those developments through the continuity of life's FORCE flowing through same - may the entity gain in the present. Either in giving those that come through song or music, that may awaken much in the experience of others - but also serving in a manner that keeps self's OWN ideal first and foremost for self, without inducing or forcing another to see a like vision. Keep self aright. Be true to self and thou will not be false to any man. Remember, the Creative Forces make for a continual development in material AND spiritual forces.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) For what specific life work should entity prepare himself? (A) As a composer of song or music, that may awaken that in others as to do FOR others. SERVICE - in every sense!
20. We are through. Copy to Self " " file " " Ass'n
