1. EC: We have the entity here, [1234], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In entering astrologically, we find the entity coming under the influence of the cusps, and that of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus, with those of crosses in Venus and Neptune. In those things, then, INNATE and partially manifesting themselves in the experience of the entity, those things that have to do with mystery or ritual, while of interest often, and hold for the entity something of an attraction, should not be often indulged in, unless there be much more of reason than of speculative interests.
3. In those in the influences in the cusps, or in Pisces, we will find that those conditions of which the body must be warned, is as respecting accidents to the lower limbs, and beware of those conditions in mechanical appliances, that are either electrically started or motor driven.
4. In those seen in Mercury, brings for those of the mental development, with an ANALYTICAL mind, yet in JUPITER there is seen much of trust as is placed in others by the entity, which may be destroyed in the thirty-ninth or forty-first year, unless there are precautions taken as to the relationships with individuals with whom the entity is associated. These may work for hardships, for if the entity allows same to produce a hardening of the heart, or of a determination to get even, or of those conditions that hold for discontent, malice, or otherwise, these must surely bring the destructive forces that build that which the entity must meet; for, in truth, that builded in the mental forces of a body is as ACTIVE in the experiences as must come to the entity as were they done in the very material act; for, as was given, "It hath been said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; yet I say unto thee, he that
1234-1 Page 2
hateth his brother is worse than he that DESTROYETH a body". In the experiences of the entity, these as are builded to the present, and those as may come in the present experience for the development of the entity, be not high MINDED, but condescend rather to those of low estate; not that same may be lorded over; rather that in the SERVICE to others there may be builded that which will enable self to enjoy in peace, in quietude, the efforts OF the self in a material plane; for what profit it a man to have gained the laudation of many, to horde up much of this world's goods in that which doth corrupt the moral fibre, doth corrupt that of the very soul of a body, and to lose that contentment that comes from an experience in not only being good, or being moral, but being good FOR SOMETHING, being worth while in the experiences of those whom the entity contacts in the daily experience, being worth while to those who may lean upon the entity for understanding, for aid? Little may the entity act in the capacity of a speculator, whether in material or in mental, or in spiritual things. Set an ideal rather before self, knowing that, that which is easily attained is as easily lost, knowing that which is NOT thine, not thine own, cannot be held by self with impunity; for these take wings and fly away, and already has one digged a pit for self to gather those of ANY character at the expense of another, whether in the sweat of the brow, in the game of chance, or in the game of life; for such makes for discontent, and for the unguarding of him that doeth such.
5. In the experiences in the earth's plane, and the influence same has upon the entity in the present:
6. In the one before this we find in that land in which the entity now dwells. The entity among those of the Dutch peoples who came into the land as the settlers, and of the household of one Thornhill. The entity then among those who dealt with the peoples as concerning the allotting of lands and of chattels as were exchanged with the peoples coming from the north and west. In this experience the entity both gained and lost. Gained in the service rendered others, losing in the self-aggrandizement of the interests and position gained in the experience. In the present, this, as we find, makes for that which is, the entity easily makes acquaintance and KINDS of friendships. These are not always lasting, for the entity chooses rather to make friendships that may be used. This may be also turned to the abuse of that as has been builded in self. Be rather, then, of service and usefulness, rather than USING and making service from another. Attempt not through might and main, through power or position, to force another to act in a manner
1234-1 Page 3
contrarywise to the dictates of their own conscience.
7. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Ukraine. The entity among those peoples then who were overcome by those that came in from the eastern lands, and the entity in this experience gained through the service as rendered. In the name Skyuski. In this experience there is seen that of the ability to judge not only PEOPLES, as to their ABILITIES to do, but their abilities to pay, or their abilities to judge of the fruit of the land as related to its products of the earth, especially in metals and woods.
8. In the one before this we find in that experience when in the return to the Holy City, in the return from that land in which the fathers had been carried as captives, did the entity gain in the experiences of the rebuilding of the outer wall. The entity coming in with those under the leadership of Nehemiah, as the soldier, and the entity rode in with those peoples, being of the horsemen to the guard about this leader. In the experience the entity gained. In the present, that of the innate love and hatred of things pertaining to religion, and of various cults as the entity seeks out their motive forces. These may be turned or changed much in the present experience, especially through the environmental forces for the entity; for INNATELY the entity is spiritual minded, but being blinded by those of power of possession, of the abilities to say "Come and he cometh", these may be turned into those of destructive forces for the entity.
9. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Peruvian. In this land, the entity among the Ooms [Aymaras]. In this experience the entity a leader, a guide, a ruler. In this land may the entity in the present experience gain fame, fortune and power, but used in an IMPROPER manner to the DETRIMENT will it become to the entity in every respect.
10. In the ABILITIES of the entity, and that to which it may attain:
11. As may be judged from the experiences in the various environs, and under the various guides and directions, the entity may apply self in that of the judge or the RULER over many, in that of judging between those of the proper relationships in ANY condition, or those that may be in an OFF condition FOR relationships; that is, as a lawyer, or as a judge of materials, may the entity MOST succeed.
12. In the applications of self mentally, these must also be guided aright - for, as has been seen, these have brought destructive as well as BUILDING forces in the experiences of the entity. Keep self in that position rather, that you may
1234-1 Page 4
not be ashamed of that spoken or acted when seen in a different light, or on the morrow. Rather with the ability TO serve, serve as of one given to make place for that as may COME to thine experience.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Should entity continue in present business and with present connections? (A) For the present period, yes. With the alterations and changes as may come, there may be those of the experiences for the entity which will take again the entity to other lands. These may be turned into channels that may become MATERIALLY beneficial. Used properly, they may be for the DEVELOPMENT in EVERY sense. Especially in the land as given, in Peru, or in the west countries of this South American land, will the entity SUCCEED in MATERIAL things the best; especially near Luzon.
15. (Q) What should entity do to further succeed in present business? (A) PLENTY to do! Work like thunder is the best! Keep in the manner and in the line as given. We are through for the present. Copy to Self Two copies to Ass'n office
