1. EC: [[1208] named.]
2. Yes, we have the entity here, those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are recorded in the the experiences of this entity through the earth's plane as well as those environs in the activities about the earth. Its earthly experience as related to the activities of the entity to many, especially in the land of the nativity and especially at this particular season would become most astounding. Yet if there are the developments through the environs, it may be seen that THIS entity - [1208] - may become more important in the affairs of the WORLD than this entity in its previous experience has been to America - Thomas Jefferson.
3. In giving the experiences of the entity, and those influences that will bear upon the development of the entity, we find that these - for this entity in the present - have some peculiar or unusual turns.
4. From the astrological aspects we find the entity almost EXACTLY upon the cusps. Hence we will find two influences, and the entity oft needing, requiring, a consideration by those making the choice of environs for the entity during the early portion of its developments.
5. That there are then responsibilities, this becomes apparent. For there has been into this keeping, in these beginnings, entrusted in this experience an entity that may mean as much to the world as the entity meant to, means to, America.
6. Make then for those influences that there may be not the pampering, yet a development wherein there may be the OPPORTUNITIES for the ENTITY'S OWN development. Yet choices of that as is to be the entity's ideal will depend upon the manner in which corrections are made, the manner in which
1208-1 Page 2
moral fortitude is manifested, the manner in which the general impressions are made upon the developing mind of this entity.
7. Coming under those influences of Gemini and Scorpio, as are indicated, there will be tendencies for weaknesses in the early developing; requiring that those caring for the body be mindful as to the digestive forces and that there is kept an equal balance - else there may come, of course, those experiences of an early change in the activity, or in the sojourn. In these then the proper precautions should be taken, that there are the proper relationships and that there is the proper balance kept between those things that produce acid and those that keep an alkalin balance in the digestive forces of the body. [See 1208-2 through 1208-5, etc.]
8. Save from these, as we find, if these precautions are kept, little experience of anxiety may be felt as respecting the activities in the conditions throughout the entity's experience.
9. Hence if these precautions are taken and the care of the body is made in this direction during the first year and six months, the entity would almost grow and care for itself.
10. As has been indicated through the periods, this influence in Mercury will make for a high MENTAL development. With the experience as has been indicated this must be directed. For if these tendencies are turned from the right MENTAL attitudes AS to choices, these may be as detrimental as they are beneficial. For the entity will be, as it has been, an extremist - in ALL of its associations. And what it wants it will WANT NOW! In these respects then there will be needed the proper precautions as to the reasoning with the entity. For, as will be the natural nature, it will be an arguer from the beginnings - and making for demands such that there will have to be a reason, and this expressed in no uncertain terms in the entity's development.
11. From Jupiter, which we find as the ruling influence, then, there comes the influence wherein the entity will make for friendships in EVERY association, off all characters. Here again there must be not the associations without a reason, but a reasoning with the entity for its choice of associations. For, as the entity in its relationships must belong as it were to the WORLD, it will regard all peoples alike. For those influences and activities will be the greater influence, if those directions are made in the experiences of its development as to its proper relationships and choices as to its associations.
1208-1 Page 3
12. For the high and the low, those of fame and those of defame, will be AS ONE to the entity without reason - unless guided aright.
13. The influences of Mercury as combined WITH those in Venus make for the natural tendency for what may be termed a piddler; that is, in EVERYTHING will the entity in part excel, whether this be in music - as a fiddler - or whether as one that would make for new applications of the OLD conditions in the affairs of individuals. A natural arguer; then a natural orator also.
14. And he will be able to argue most everyone down, unless those tendencies are directed aright.
15. A natural scribe, as is indicated from the very LOVE of EXPERIENCES through the entire experience of the entity in this sojourn. Hence by some it will be termed a meddler; for it will be into everything - as a curiosity. Nothing will be strange to the entity, but - to know WHY it works!
16. As to the appearances in the earth and those that influence the entity in the present - if there are the activities directed or guided as has been indicated in its sojourn in the early portion, or the formative years, in the choice of of the entity:
17. Before this, as given, the entity lived in the earth during those periods when there were the turmoils in that known as the Revolution, and in the activities of the Colonists.
18. The entity then, as Thomas Jefferson, made these contributions to the activities of the people - that are well known, or may be had through the many references that may be drawn upon by those seeking to know. [Yrs. 1743-1826]
19. But rather seek to know the BASIC FORCES that DIRECTED same. For the inventive genius that PROMPTED the activities of the entity then, the curious nature that made for the many oppositions that arose in the experience, are those things that are indicated in the two natures that apparently will be in the developing period of the entity's activities.
20. Hence in the application of same, not because of "HE WAS" but because these may be USED, there should be the correct guidance and training in his formative years. For as a great landowner will the entity be if it reaches the years of its majority.
21. The experience before that we find was in those periods when there were the disturbances in or the establishing of that land now called France, when there were the first of the separations through the Gallic Wars, through the activities that made for a separation for the east or for the west portions of the Helvetic activities - the Romans
1208-1 Page 4
and Britons and the Normans. [Yrs. 200-100 B.C.?]
22. The entity then was among those that made for the establishing or the setting of this apart in those periods of the experience, in the name then Donquiellen.
23. In the experience the entity gained and lost. Gained, and through those activities brought into the influences of those peoples that which has remained much of the basic forces of that as a nation, that as a people, that has been as a SEPARATE influence in the affairs of the world throughout the periods since that establishment.
24. Hence we find in the application in the entity's experience in the present, those very influences for power - if they are not merely idealistic but purposeful, with the ideals of a union for an application - will bring not only material but the spiritual benefits in those activities of the earth.
25. For the entity from those very things may become that one who may make of the world as ONE nation, and those of other lands as but states in ONE grand kingdom.
26. Before that we find the entity was in that land during those periods when there were the activities that made for the rise and fall of many lands, in the Grecian, the Persian, all of the eastern lands; when THAT entity now known as Alexander the Great made for the conquering forces of the earth - the depleting that there might bring to self the exaltations. [356-323 B.C.] [See 3976-4 on 2/11/27.]
27. HERE the entity lost. For these will become in the experience of the entity those influences that might makes for right, or power making for indulgences. And if these are not conquered in the experiences as the principles that are set in its earthly experience, these may run as wild in the very activities of the entity - even as then.
28. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Atlantean, when there were the disturbances upon which those divisions arose.
29. The entity then took the part of those who later became the heads of those that warred against those of the Law of One, and then in the name of Sululon - as would be termed in the present.
30. In those experiences the entity made for destructive forces in the early experiences, yet with those activities that brought about the union in body with one of the daughters of the Law of One, the entity then become to each group as one set apart. For the teachers of the Law of One were afraid of the ability, while those that were of the sons of Belial were afraid of the entity becoming what would be termed in the present as a traitor.
1208-1 Page 5
31. Hence throughout those periods the entity became then THAT ONE that led the first establishing of the activity in the varied lands that came to be known as later the Mayan, the Yucatan, the Inca, the Peruvian - and LATER the Mound Builders in the northern portions of the entity's present sojourn. [Ohio?]
32. Not that the entity remained there, but established those activities which has become a part of the entity by those divisions.
33. Hence we find in these three expeditions or experiences, while the principles are the same, the expressions of same are in varying MANNERS of manifestation, coming from the one MENTAL or PHYSICAL BEING'S mind - for a development. Or as called by many, as may be in the present, a meddler with things that to many are dangerous.
34. As to the abilities then of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain and how: These become as problematicals in those that may be about, those that may have to do with, its early developments. But RULE rather than be ruled, for the entity will tend to rule all about same.
35. When the entity has passed its thirteenth year, begin again.
36. We are through for the present. Copy to Parents " " Ass'n file
