1. EC: (Counted forward to '38, then back to birth date.)
2. Yes, we have the entity here and those relations with the universe and universal forces; that are records of the entity now known as or called [1107].
3. In giving that as we find may be helpful, from the records here - or interpretation of same, that may be applicable in the experience of this entity in the earth's plane:
4. Know these that arise from astrological sojourns, or the interims between the entrances of the entity or soul into the earth plane, are as influences and urges innate; while those that arise from earthly sojourns are as experiences of the entity in material manifestations and present in the entity's experience in the present the EMOTIONAL expressions.
5. Hence these at times become conflicting; as do flesh and the spirit. Yet all the experiences that may become or are a portion of the entity are those influences that the WILL of the entity makes use of; either in those directions wherein they become as BUILDING towards the constructive forces, or in those directions wherein they become detrimental - by the satisfying, the gratifying, or selfish motives within the entity's experience.
6. This entity, then, being an Atlantean, is one oft finding the expressions in the self for becoming erratic, making for the unusual emotional experiences - from the high MENTAL development of the entity.
7. Oft does the entity experience that there is a change in the emotions or the thoughts of individuals, conditions, experiences, even over a day's interim. Hence to the entity these become ofttimes disturbing influences; making many of the associates or those about the entity to classify him as
1107-1 Page 2
an unstable individual or personage.
8. In the astrological sojourns of the entity about the earth, we find these influences:
9. Coming under those astrological influences when Gemini becomes very close to its activities, we find the entity often wondering within self if there is not a double personality within self; yet the high mental abilities from the Mercurian influence produce the attempt to often analyze. Yet many of the things the entity THINKS he would LIKE to analyze, he finds them analyzed for him - as it were - in the experience. Hence confusion, and the lack of the entity's realization that thoughts ARE deeds - and as their currents run through the experience of the entity they become either miracles or crimes. And the entity, from the very impulse or the emotions of self, often gives thoughts power, an influence.
10. In Jupiter we find an experience where the entity's activities should EVER be among individuals as related to groups or masses, or in the association or activity of MANY individuals. This also becomes confusing, from the very emotional nature - and from the very eccentricities that are manifested. Yet if the entity holds to the Creative Forces as its ideal, these may make for the greater development in the entity and in its ability to serve in such a manner as to make for not only material satisfaction but the spiritual and mental development that may bring in the experience of the entity the greater joy, hope, happiness.
11. From Venus we find the very unusual experiences and influences of the entity in relationships to those of the opposite sex. But if there is experienced through the Mercurian, through the emotional, and most of all through the Jupiterian influences, a friendship or a companionship that answers for these emotions, then this should be the one to become in the closer relationships. Yet these relationships should be of such natures, such characters, that there is harmony in - and the understanding of - such a companion. And, as we find, such an experience HAS come to the entity. Hence within the coming year these relationships should be brought to materialization in the associations and activities, as to become those influences that would make for a greater growth, a greater satisfaction, a greater joy in the service the entity finds in its associations with its fellow man.
12. And until those periods of at least until 1938 the entity should remain in those environs in which the entity finds itself. But then, in that year, there should be changes that may be brought about by developments along
1107-1 Page 3
those things pertaining to the psychic forces or psychic developments of the ENTITY, and those ASSOCIATED THEN WITH the entity in its APPLICATION of its abilities in the healing arts.
13. As to the appearances in the earth, then, or those that have the greater influence, while these are few - as we find, that become of an influence in the present - they become very determining factors in the intro-activity of the entity as related to the urges from its astrological experience, or from its environments about the earth.
14. Before this we find the entity was in the English land during those experiences when there were turmoils, when there were groups gathering from other lands for a special purpose, when there were the religious influences that tended to make for the activities known as the Crusades against the heathens for their overrunning of, and acclamation of, the Holy Land.
15. The entity then, in the name of Bruce - Georgeus Bruce, aided in gathering groups for the joining into the activities in that period.
16. This activity on the part of the entity was prompted as much by the real influence to become a leader as it was by the fervor of the religious thought. Hence much that was distressing came into the experience of the entity, and made for retardments - and the thoughts of self-indulgence, self-aggrandizement, rather than of the purposes from the SPIRITUAL angle for which the activities had been begun.
17. Thus in the present that experience causes the entity at times to have very peculiar ideas as to the religious principles or religious thoughts of individuals whom the entity may contact. Yet it often HOLDS very definite ideas.
18. It would be WELL, in the application of self in these directions, for the entity to learn that what is of the constructive nature is in GIVING. For, as ye receive, so should ye give. The word GIVE is the prompting of the expression of love in, "The Lord gave His son that ye, through Him, might have life, and have it more abundantly."
19. What meaneth ABUNDANCE of life?
20. Quite a dissertation might be given on that!
21. But know within thyself that the LORD IS ONE! And if ye would know Him ye must know that to become one WITH Him is the purpose of each soul in its expression; that the GLORY of the Lord may fill the earth!
22. Before that we find the entity was in the Arabian or Persian land, during those periods when the 'city in the hills and the plains' offered a channel of manifestation, or a place of refuge for those ill in body and mind, yet was
1107-1 Page 4
becoming a center for the commercial exchange of that portion of the earth or world at the time.
23. The entity was among the Grecians who came as a seeker, and REMAINED to be as a minister; then in the name Percerlesuses, making for those activities from which there has grown that NOW known as the PHYSICAL exercise for the relaxation and developments of the physical body.
24. Hence we find in the present that those things pertaining to athletics, or especially those having to do with the use of the hands and of the feet as an expression for not only developments physically for health but as a prevention of physical disturbances, arise from that experience.
25. In the present chosen profession, then, the entity may find those things whereunto there may come GREATER activities; yet learn within self, instill within those the entity may attempt to aid, that what is accomplished physically must work together with the MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL forces of the individual if there would come real aid or help.
26. For the Law of One must EVER be coordinant in the activities of an individual or entity among its fellow man, if these would become as REAL helps and not as passing moments. Thus such activities may bring not only to others but to self the greater joys, the greater peace, the greater happiness.
27. And these influences are the greater in the activity of the entity during the earthly appearance in THIS experience.
28. Before then we find the entity was in the Atlantean land, or in that place or position called Poseidia; during those periods when there were the destructive forces, and when the detentions arose between the sons of Belial and those of the Law of One.
29. The entity then was among the lesser priests, and a minister to the ills of the peoples who came for judgement and understanding. And when there was the egress to the now known Yucatan land, the entity was among those chosen to act in the capacity as the priest, or the minister of judgement; both as to the relationships of individuals among themselves, or one with another, and as to the spiritual and physical instruction of those people who journeyed to the land.
30. Then in the name Marcehelli (as would be determined in the present), the entity rose to power - and made for mental and material developments in the land; building much that later made for the greater glories of those particular peoples or experiences.

31. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
32. First, study to show self physically, mentally, spiritually, approved unto Him who is the author and the finisher of life. For in Him IS the light, not alone in self but that within self which responds to that light which is in Him; that may make for the greater abilities, the greater developments, the greater peace and happiness in this material experience.
33. Keep the faith.
34. Ready for questions.
35. (Q) Do you believe my efforts in my practice will bring me, eventually, a successful career? (A) As indicated, this is a well chosen and a direct way or manner in which there may come the material success, if the ideal in self is kept close to the real spiritual forces - and the implications that may be given in and through such an activity.
36. (Q) Would you advise marriage to the girl I am going with at present? (A) As indicated, it would be well - within the year. Let that which was the prompting of thine inner self to seek those in the 'city in the hills' become that which is indeed the prompting in thine experience in the present. Not for self, but that self may be the greater, the better channel through which there may indeed come the glory of the Lord as it is seen in the earth by and through the experiences of the sons of men manifesting same in their relationships one to another!
37. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
