1. EC: (Going back over the years to birth date - " - '24 - Stirring times! '23, '22 - Changes came in '23, '24," etc. - "Quite a difference! '97, '96, '95 - '93 - An INTERESTING life!")
2. Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, called [990].
3. The experiences in the earth, we find, have been through periods of great changes that have come about in activities rather as a forerunner of conditions.
4. Also the activities through the astrological influence have brought the abilities latent and manifested in the experience of the entity in the present.
5. These, as we find, are the astrological influences, but irrespective of how the entity has applied same. Some will be found to be in accord with what has been the application; others will be as latent urges yet not developed or manifested in materiality.
6. Jupiter we find the ruling influence in the experience of the entity, so that the dealings of the entity have been and are to be with groups, masses, crowds; various activities, and those that are in authority in given activities. Not always as the leader, but as one who has made for the background, the building up, the making for the whole of such associations and relationships; not only for self but those about self, and for those with whom the entity has been associated.
7. Oft has the success of this or that venture depended upon the choice and the activity of the entity in its relationships with others and with groups.
8. This has brought periods when there were ups and downs,
990-1 Page 2
as it were; or some friendships that were made have proven or did prove to be unsatisfactory or unstable, becoming selfish in their relationships. Such under the Jupiterian influences, especially in the month of October in '24, '23, '31 and '30, were apparently adverse; owing to the relationships with the entity in its Venus sojourn; or confidences, friendships, were not kept in their fullest meaning. These have brought periods when the entity has doubted itself and its abilities to carry on.
9. Yet beginning with March of the present year, such influences have been more favorable; and - for the next two and a half years - will prove advantageous for the entity in its relationships with groups, or those activities that deal with the PUBLIC in general.
10. Those influences in Mars have made for adverse forces, at times allowing wrath and madness or selfishness on the part of those associated with the entity to bring periods of turmoil.
11. And how the entity has applied or does apply its will in regard to such conditions, has made or does make for the changes in the associations, the relations, and the activities in material things.
12. These, as we find, are the greater influences. And when in the coming season Jupiter and Venus are as a complement one to another, these should bring the more material results and - most of all - the more spiritual atmosphere and the activities about the entity that are more harmonious and satisfactory.
13. As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, and those that have influenced or do influence the entity in the present, we find:
14. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods when there were the settlements in and about that place now known as Fort Dearborn or Chicago.
15. And in the present there may be found, with the records of the older activities there, the indications of the entity's activity; in the name Gracia Hoerr.
16. The entity then made for the associations and connections in the relations with associates as to bring the settling of many of the strifes that arose between the natives and the peoples settling there; also making for settlement of argumentations as to the character of the individuals' activity.
17. Hence in the present the teaching, ministering, directing, prompting activity is a portion of the entity's experience. And oft has been and will the entity be called
990-1 Page 3
to be as the mediator between individuals or various sects or groups, as to the better choice to be taken. These become as experiences in the present from those activities in that particular portion of the land.
18. Those that have dealings with that which has been and is of interest to the entity, that live in those environs, will make for satisfactory arrangements and agreements in the experience. That many or some have been unsatisfactory is only the indication that these surroundings and environs are those in which many of the activities of the entity will find their greater fruition.
19. Before that we find the entity was in that known as the Roman and the Grecian experience, or among those who were to supply to the Romans the Grecian activity in the field of the stage, the acting, the speaking, the promptings; for these activities have become, do become, the portion of the entity's experience and surrounding from the sojourn in that particular environ.
20. Then the entity was beautiful of body, of form, of mind; and in the present we find that art of every nature is a portion of the entity's experience, especially statuary, and paintings that depict the body-divine, those that depict the natural elements of the activities or the attributes.
21. And from that experience there comes much of the dance, much of the theater, much of the surroundings of same into the experience of the entity in the present.
22. Then in the name Ixelia (or pronounced Ilia, then), in Athens and in Rome, the entity's activities pertained to the entertainments that become a portion of the present experience; and also the abilities as a teacher come from that sojourn.
23. Before that we find the entity was in the Arabian or Persian land, during those periods when there were the gatherings of many in the city builded in the hills and plains. Those that made for not only the tented city but the dwellings of stone and wood were a portion of the entity's activity.
24. And the entity aided in correlating the various types of individuals that enjoined themselves to activity during the sojourn; for the entity was of the peoples of the leader's tribes, but among those that had rebelled with Esodus [?] [Estradi? Estrides?] when the raids had been made. And becoming weak in body, the entity came for aid to the leader Uhjltd in that experience; and remained to aid in the helping of those who from the various nations, the various peoples, joined in the activity.
25. Hence we find languages and those things that deal with
990-1 Page 4
the promptings of same in many lands are as an innate experience in the entity's activity in the present. The interpretations of the activity of the various groups that are under different environments are as an innate activity in the present; and find expression in the manner of reading, the manner of study, the manner of things that the entity thinks along the line of correlation of various groups from their activity under different environments.
26. Then in the name Esibuen, the entity developed throughout. For these that would serve their fellow man become the greater, the leaders, from such experiences; making for harmony in the inner man, making for development to the spiritual body.
27. Before that we find the entity was in that known as the Atlantean land, in those periods when there were the comings of those from Atlantis to first the Pyrenees and then portions into Egypt; when there was the distributing of those tenets that had been correlated by the entity's peoples and the Priest, with those in the Mongolian, the Indian, the Carpathian experience.
28. The entity then was an emissary, a teacher, one who aided in distributing those tenets and activities during that sojourn.
29. Hence in the present from that experience may be found the entity's abilities in PROMPTING others, in directing others for any special activity; whether pertaining to the meeting of groups as groups or special activities or work of others. Hence these become as the greater abilities and the field of service of the entity in the present for its own mental and soul development.
30. Then the entity was in the name Althae.
31. As to the abilities in the present, then, and that to which the entity may attain, and how:
32. It has been indicated, "He that would be the greatest among you, let him be the servant of all."
33. The entity in its manifestations may bring the ideals before others through the abilities of self in prompting to know the truth, that will make the body, the mind, free indeed.
34. THESE, then, are the channels of activity; aiding others in finding their OWN manner of expression in this particular experience. As a teacher, as an instructress, as a prompter in such. These will make for the greater blessings to the entity, in the harmony that may be created, in the beauty of expression, in the soul development of self. For as ye give, so SHALL you receive. This is a law; it is unalterable. Even as the entity's experience in the Persian
990-1 Page 5
land, even as the ministry in the Egyptian land, even as the developments for the entertainments and uplifting in the Grecian-Roman period, and even the helpfulness that others found through the entity in and about Dearborn.
35. Keep, then, the faith in those Creative Forces that make for the BEAUTY of Life. As the life is LIVED, so does it become as a guide; not as that said, but that DONE! For what ye are speaks louder than what ye say!
36. Keep the faith!
37. Ready for questions.
38. (Q) Are the present tenants I have in a certain business place alright? (A) Alright in the present. Do not allow them to change as to their associations.
39. (Q) Will I be able to get the rental I ask, that I have in mind? (A) Will be able to obtain same. There will be some discussion, but it will be obtained.
40. (Q) At the other store that I have a block away, should I keep that tenant? (A) Keep that tenant.
41. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
