1. EC: (On going back over years and arriving at birth date - "[980] - Franklin - FRANKLIN -")
2. We have the entity here, now known as or called [980].
3. In entering the earth's plane in the present experience, while there are those definite innate urges from the astrological sojourns, these - to be sure - are inclinations and conditions that arise in the experience in which the entity chooses, through the activity of will, to either entertain such urges or to take those conditions arising from the earth's experiences of the entity.
4. And these make continually within each and every entity those conditions wherein a choice must be made; either the easier way for the general conditions as related to the material affairs, or the way wherein the promptings of the innate self guide - as the influences are directed by the IDEALS of the entity in relation to that it is accomplished in an experience in its activities through or by the Creative Forces.
5. Hence for this particular entity, now called [980], these:
6. From Mercury we find high mental abilities; sensitive to reactions or the mental activities of those about the entity. This is a very decided condition in the mental activities of the entity. As an illustration, the entity on entering a room in which there has been a great deal of discussion pro or con on subjects in which the entity has been or is vitally interested, may feel - or there will appear to the entity, through the vibrations in the mental activities - much that has been discussed, though the entity has not heard same. This is a very definite experience that the entity has had oft in its activities.
7. From the sojourns in Jupiter we find the influences for
980-1 Page 2
associations with groups and individuals that are of a definite nature; as joining certain groups, certain associations, or affiliating the self and its activities with certain groups in certain lines of study. These are definite urges that arise within the experience.
8. Hence the entity in joining any association or any ORDER would make an excellent member or leader in such affiliations.
9. These always have a definite place, then, in the experiences of the entity, that may come for fruition or for activity in the mental and superficial or unseen world to materiality.
10. In Venus we find the influence making for a very SYMPATHETIC disposition or nature; and one that makes for the abilities in the activities (and in which the choice has been made for the entity and by the entity as to its activity in the present experience) towards relieving or aiding conditions where there is specific or definite suffering, specific or definite conditions and relationships.
11. Hence the entity invites confidences of others, and makes for a very sympathetic activity in the chosen profession of the entity; and in those directions where the entity should (as seen not only from the astrological but the earth's sojourns) make for a coordination or a combination of these.
12. Hence one that is well-fitted or endowed through its own development mentally, and through those developments in the earth of the natural sensitive urge through the sensory forces of the body, to be active in that which may bring for the entity a HARMONIOUS experience. Not that it will not meet oppositions in such directions, but ever will it be seen that the choice of the entity in any opposition will be for the individual attention or the immediate relief for those so needing same.
13. As to the appearances in the earth, or those that influence the entity in the present, we find:
14. Before this the entity was in that land or city known as Philadelphia, during those periods when there were the establishings of the land for, and the association for, the relief of oppression according to or on account of the religious experiences of a group with which the entity was associated or affiliated then.
15. These made for the activities that were in accord with that which was presented by William Penn; the son of the entity, that then made for an activity in the very latter portion of the experience in or about that particular land.
980-1 Page 3
16. In the experience the entity gained; for ever, even in the land of its nativity, did the entity make for that which would give more and more freedom of speech, more and more freedom of activity, to those that had consecrated or dedicated their lives for DEFINITE work in ANY given line that pertained to the bringing to the individual or group the better understanding of its relationships to the outer world or to the fellow man, and of its relationships to the Creative Forces within.
17. Then the entity, in the name Penn, gained throughout. And the abilities in the present in those directions of making adjustments in the physical body, in the mental body, in the material world for individuals, come rather as the natural outgrowth from that experience; or that development which may find a manifestation in the present.
18. Yet, as we find, within the bounds or borders of the State of Pennsylvania would there be the more COORDINATING and more sincere activity on the part of the entity to give to those whom the entity would oft contact in those associations.
19. Hence in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or the like, would be the better place of association or relation for the activity of the entity. As WE find, the better would be in Philadelphia.
20. Then, before that, we find the entity was in that known as the French land, during the periods when there were the turmoils that arose from the gatherings together of those in that particular land - as associated with others - for the Holy Wars; or those that stood for a definite understanding as to the defense that should be made for the land of the nativity of that set as the ideal in the experiences of others.
21. The entity then was young in years, yet made for much that kept alive the spirit of that which PROMPTED those activities in the early portion of the entity's experience or indwelling in the land.
22. Yet, as failures came, as there were those turmoils from the manner in which those who were left were treated - and how they were goaded to activities in various ways and manners, the entity became more and more the MATERIALIST.
23. Hence those PECULIAR experiences that the entity has entertained and has had respecting its religious associations and affiliations in the present experience. These have brought about much that has made for questionings; though the entity in that period engaged in activities that made for the correlating as much as possible
980-1 Page 4
of the spiritual understandings with material relationships. However, the greater portion of the experience, in the town Neuelley, was used by the entity in an activity of distributing HEALING properties; as a merchant who aided in BLEEDING people, that aided in making the applications which would heal in the various activities.
24. Hence that of the surgeon has innately been a portion of the entity's INNATE feelings oft, or that which would make for specializing in bone surgery or the like. Such urges arise from the experiences in that sojourn.
25. Then in the name Peneuel, the entity gained and lost; as may be indicated by the turmoils which arose in the experience of the entity.
26. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Arabian or Persian; during those experiences when the 'city in the hills and in the plains' was drawing many of those who came for the understanding first of the healings of the leader in that particular land.
27. The entity then was that one TO whom much was committed as to the housing of the individuals, or the specifying as to the needs (which the entity established) of segregating the peoples who came for physical healings into various groups, according to the particular type or character of contamination or contagious or infectious force requiring such separations. These were the activities of the entity during that experience.
28. Then the entity was among those peoples of the same tribes to which the leader Uhjltd had belonged; then the Arabians or Persians or the Bedouins of that particular period; belonging, though, to the family of the leader's father; then being rather then, what would be called now, a COUSIN to Uhjltd - as would be the established relationships in the present.
29. This made for a close relationships during that period, and the entity gained throughout the activities in that experience; and aided in giving others instructions and understandings as to how there might be brought about - through the application of material things in the experiences of individuals - more and better accord in the mental and spiritual life to things that might become a portion of the activity.
30. In the name then Ajhujtn, the entity - it may be said - gained throughout; ESPECIALLY in those activities of aid to the fellow man in bringing those experiences that would make for the greater mental and spiritual as WELL as the physical development of the peoples.
31. Then, before that we find the entity was in the land now
980-1 Page 5
known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the reestablishings after the return of the Priest to the land; when there were the beginnings of the correlating of the tenets from Mongolia, Caucasia, India, Oz and Mu - or that now known as the American land, or the Zu of the Oz.
32. The entity then was that one who AIDED the established undertakings for the hospitalizations in that particular portion of the experience.
33. Then the entity was a teacher, a lecturer; aiding those that made for the developings of that later to become known as the BEGINNING of the PHYSICAL healing to or for BODILY ills.
34. In the name then Par-Cel-Celus, the entity made much experimentations; the entity builded those things that made for antagonisms with those who returned with the Priest and some of those who came from the Atlantean land, as well as some of the natives of that particular period when there had been turmoils and strifes.
35. Hence we find political influences, antagonistic groups, may in the present become a stumblingblock to the entity.
36. Keep, then, rather the level head when others about thee make for those things that bring about contentions.
37. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
38. It may be seen throughout the experiences in the earth that the entity's abilities lie in the directions in which there has been the choice for the activities in the present.
39. Then, in those particular fields that make for such activity; and especially in or about the 'city of brotherly love' may the greater contentment and good come.
40. Much might be said to the entity as respecting that LACKING in the religious preferences. But these as they are chosen, and as has ever been the experience, must be COORDINATED with that the entity DOES - rather than those about the entity.
41. (Q) Am I doing justice to myself or family by staying in New York City? (A) We would go to Philadelphia.
42. (Q) How should I go about it, and when? (A) Establish relationships with some particular activity that is in line with the desire for that PORTION of the development of the entity's abilities and choice of profession. When? October; or in the latter portion of the present year.
43. We are through for the present.
