1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [1101].
2. In entering this present experience, those astrological influences from entity's experiences are in Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Neptune, with those influences that are as for warnings in Saturn and in Uranus. In those that are innate and that are being manifested in the developing personality of the entity FROM these influences, these will be governed most by what the entity uses as its criterion for its judgements in making decisions respecting the activity of the WILL, and the mental imaginative body, as respecting the influence.
3. We find these innate and as characteristics developing in the present:
4. One loveable in mien, and yet one easily irritated - and often set very strongly in its determinations; and often thinks first of self's satisfaction in getting even, which isn't ALWAYS good.
5. Those influences also make for one that makes friendships easily, and the friendships in this developing period mean much to the entity; and the entity is often influenced by the friendships and associations, even when it determines in its own mind it will not harken, listen or pay attention, to that as may be counseled from those close in friendship. Hence precautions and judgements should be those manifestations in CHOOSING the associations and companions for the entity.
6. Those influences also, as in Jupiter, make for that broadness of influences, in the various characters of conditions respecting peoples, places, and the social and religious, or moral life of many individuals, as WELL as
1101-2 Page 2
those that make for such changes in groups, classes and masses, and even nations. Again there should be those warnings in accord with same, as to that which the body in its formative years and periods reads, or studies, or considers, as that that moulds its opinions as respecting that as may be made, or held by others, as well as self, as the IDEALS of peoples. Not in the prohibitive manner; rather in the counsel that, that which the body-mind feeds upon, the subconscious forces accept as true, and the soul and spiritual body either become over fed or starved under those things that do not accord with that of a spiritual development. Not as those that would make long faces, or counsels that would become as those of strange conditions, or make for estrangements that there may be some moral aptitude or condition considered in the relationships and associations; but rather in that manner as, "Seek ye the Lord in thine youth, when He may be found, when His ways may easily be made thy ways, and when thou art old He will not depart from thee." Seek to know how, and the way in which, ALL blessings, understandings, all knowledge, comes FROM the CLOSER knowledge of the living forces in a material existence, that bespeak of the manifestations of a God Spirit in the material world.
7. Those warnings are in the influences that make for variations in the interest the body, the body-mind, the body-consciousness, will find between mysticism and occult influences. Occult to the entity will always be more or less of a misunderstood relationship, while mysticism - or the influences of those mysterious forces in life - will be accepted without question. Hence oft may the entity be misunderstood as to its interest in such a kindred subject, in which the entity will find peace, comfort; or UNDERSTANDING in the one, and tumult and misunderstanding in the other. About waters, OVER waters, will the entity find those influences of the greater nature, and in whatever field of endeavor - as making for self an ACCOMPLISHED body, whether in the field of art - as of acting, or painting, or sculpturing, or commercial forces of that same field - the better studies for the entity will be abroad.
8. Those influences from the warnings in Saturn's influence, make for the greater interest in those things that bespeak of the psychic forces. Do not confuse those DIFFERENCES in occult and mysticism, or that that may be an IMPELLED force IN an entity's experience, and that that may be obtained by an entity, a mind being opened to the influences of self first in ACCORD with spiritual truths - that they may manifest through! Study the differences between
1101-2 Page 3
spiritualistic influence and spirituality in an individual's activities.
9. In those appearances that influence the entity in the present:
10. In the one before this we find in and about that land now known as the Vinland, or in those regions about the seashores of that known as the Cove, near Providence land. The entity then among those that watched when there were those exchanges of the fighting between the peoples that established the FREEDOM of those peoples in that land. The entity, then, INNATELY has what is often called the patriotic spirit for its own home, its own school, its own land, its own political party, its own social and spiritual associations. THESE are well, but may be carried to such an excess as to become stumbling blocks in one's own development. Well that the entity in this relation entertain and KNOW WITHIN SELF that NO force OR power may separate self FROM the CONTINUITY of life itself in spirituality, save self's own misunderstandings - or own hard-headedness. In the name Muriel. In this experience, while the entity suffered much in the MENTAL matters of WORRIMENTS and visions, and also in the physical conditions, yet the entity in its service to many, in the ability to look upon the bright side, even though the shadows of those things that make many men afraid often hovered over the activities of the entity and those with whom the entity was associated, this spirit of optimism brought much to others, as well as to self. In the present experience, also that ability to be led, and sometimes too easily led, yet with counsel of its proper sort. Hence the warnings in that respect. The entity REASONS well!
11. In the one then before this we find in that period when there were the oppression of those peoples in the city of the hills, when there were those peoples being cast into the arenas, and when there were persecutions by those in power physically of those that adhered to the teachings of those new sects. The entity then among those who were of the nobility of that land, yet counseled oft with those that would aid and succor and make for reliefs to those who suffered in body, and in the persecutions in many manners. These, as we find, bring in the present the deep religious INTENT in the entity's being, and - as may be termed - will make for a home building; yet also an entity that should have at LEAST a part of a career before building a home, for FEW there be that may do both! yet for those developments, those innate for the greater expansion of the entity's self-VISION in many fields, for reason WITH those mysterious
1101-2 Page 4
forces that bring awakenings in the imaginative, as well as the mental forces of the entity, are necessary for its BETTER development. In the name Phenicia. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained through those services that were rendered to many, yet being never quite able to shield self from those forces that would make of self one classed WITH those believers, brings those doubts - and OFT those little contentions, and easily being riled in the present - and that of the fault that the entity often desires to talk back, or argue with others. It is self the entity is fighting most. KNOW in what thou hast believed, and ACT that way!
12. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Syrian, and in that portion of same NOW called Persia. The entity then among those peoples who came under the teachings of those peoples from the Egyptian land, and the entity set about to MANIFEST that as was embraced in mental thought as the matter and manner of conduct in the political, the religious, the moral, and the social life of the ENTITY'S own peoples. While the entity became one as disliked, and separated itself from those of the opposite sex, and caused much of a disorder in the latter portion of its experience, this brought a DEVELOPMENT in that experience. In the name then, that as has been experienced in the present that calls for its OWN interpretation - Semiramis [similar to present name]; or [1100] in the present. From this experience there will be brought many of those relationships in these directions, yet there must be those activities, those conditions that are set as its standards, that these may be PROPERLY interpreted, PROPERLY understood.
13. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Peruvian in the present, in the days of the Ohums [Aymaras]. The entity again among those of the priestess of the land, and in those periods when there were the coming in of others from the land that was being embroiled through those destructive forces of many of its peoples. The entity came in contact with new ideals, and many the changed ideas of its activities and among its own peoples, yet the service the entity gave in that experience brought developments; for the religious, the political - as would be termed in the present, the abilities to watch for, care for, the LEAST of the entity's subjects, or those in low places (considered), brought those of the love that comes much in the present of those that suffer in body, in mind, under varied circumstance. Also much in the present of the abilities in the executive sense may be found from the experiences there.
1101-2 Page 5
In the name Or-Tat.
14. In the abilities in the present, and that to which it may attain - or in those fields of art as pertain to its varied characterizations, whether in EXPRESSING same as self from those positions before many peoples, or in the individual art with its executive abilities, will make for that career, that understanding, that in its home BUILDING will bring CONTENTMENT - and a life that may be filled in this experience with the joys of ALL being well done.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) In which specific line could the body be of the most service to all? (A) In that of visualization of conditions in the various lands, or peoples, of that that BRINGS development, or that of CREATING ideals for others in visualization of same to groups, classes, masses.
