1. EC: We have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1442].
2. In giving the interpretations of these, while the astrological aspects and the sojourns in the earth have their influence, none of these surpass the will of the entity.
3. These then become as intuitive forces through the astrological aspects and latent urges of the emotions through the material or earthly sojourns.
4. Hence we find inclinations and tendencies that become as motives if these are acted upon through the mental self.
5. For Mind is the Builder.
6. These then become constructive forces when used as Creative Forces or experiences in association with the spiritual self.
7. Hence the approach from the information is from those activities as related to soul or entity or the developments of same for the greater spiritual understanding.
8. As we find, while the entity coming close to the cusps, while the entity is given to that of counsel and advice, there are those tendencies innate for not merely headstrongness but a real mind of its own!
9. That these have been portions of the entity experience and development then requires in the training of same positiveness on the part of those that would guide or direct; yet these must be with reason. Whether the reasons be of a material or the mental or spiritual realm, these must be at least practical in the experience of the entity.
10. Again we find that of sincerity as a virtue in the experience of the entity.
11. Hence there needs be that those who would guide or
1442-1 Page 2
direct be sincere in their dealings and in their relationships with the entity, as well as the entity to maintain in its own activities that virtue which is a developing and developed activity of the entity.
12. As we find then those influences in the astrological aspects show Jupiter rather as the ruling force.
13. Hence we will find that the entity's activities must have to do with the many. And in the relationships, while individual in their aspects, these will influence or direct or rule or make for a controlling force in the activities of the many.
14. Those influences in Venus make for an open, frank, loving disposition; making for friends in most any walk or every walk of life. These if they are kept upon that basis as indicated of sincerity in every activity will make for associations of pleasant natures, yet if these become too pleasant or irrespective of the spiritual life they might become detrimental.
15. But these kept in their reason and activity from the spiritual or constructive aspect become the helpful influences.
16. For as the entity indicates in the present, ALL may be benefited by the closer associations and the sincerity of the entity in its activities.
17. Hence we will find also the influence of Neptune; not so much as that ordinarily seen from the activities of waters, but rather as these become associated with the realities in the experiences in the earth.
18. Hence those things that have to do with the kingdoms of the earth for the activities in the experience of man will be the activities of the entity, or those inclinations and through those channels may the greater development materially come, and in the activities of the entity spiritually and mentally the greater development in the present experience.
19. As the animal kingdom, or the agricultural, or the combinations of these become as a part of the innate desires of the entity.
20. Hence as a biologist, or as one active in the horticulture or agriculture as combined with its relationships for the better influences in the experience of many, may the entity find the field of activity in which greater developments are apparent.
21. As to the appearances in the earth, then, that have their influences in these directions, we find while these are not so many they have in their activity brought in the experience of others a greater understanding of the needs of
1442-1 Page 3
the relationships of the individuals or groups or masses to those dependent upon their activity upon the soil.
22. Before this, then, that has the effect in the present, we find the entity - in the name then Elisha Dunhill - was in those periods called the American Revolution; when the activities of the armies of the patriots or the American forces were dependent upon the abilities of the entity to make for the gathering of the needs, the necessities for the sustenance of the armies in many of those activities; especially in the peninsula campaign and in the activities about Brandywine, and about the southernmost portions of the activities during that period.
23. Hence we find those influences in the present; first in the orderliness of the entity, and in those longings pertaining to nature, nature's storehouses and their relationships to individuals and to the groups and to the masses.
24. Hence we will find that the studies or the training or the directing of self into those channels pertaining to such activities will become the fields through which the entity's application of self will bring greater abilities, greater peace and harmony in the activity in the material experience.
25. Before that we find the entity lived during that period when there were the many changes being made in the activities of individuals as related to the gathering of groups for the Holy Wars.
26. There we find the entity in the English experience during the Second Crusades from that particular land.
27. The entity then was as one in authority, put there by Bruce and those of that period who made for the controlling of supplies for the sustenance of those that were left in the varied lands or the varied groups for specific activity, for the preserving of those sustenances for the soil's activity as well as for the mills and the activities pertaining to same.
28. Hence we will find that FORMS of machinery, FORMS of activities with these become as a part of the entity's experience or associations.
29. Then in the name Sir Francis Duebel, the entity in most of the sojourn gained; for the very popularity of the entity, the friendliness and the close associations of those in authority brought many of the experiences in a social and in an orderly way or manner - and these with the experience brought rather strength and gain, and were not used for self-indulgence or self-aggrandizement; thus made for the greater gains during those experiences.
1442-1 Page 4
30. In the present we will find from those very activities the entity will come into associations with those in authority in political ways, in social ways, in military ways; in those that control air, land, sea.
31. These become as a part of the entity's experience, yet the soil and the fruits of same, the distribution of same, the preserving of same, become the innate forces for the entity's activities.
32. Before that we find the entity was in the land when there was the returning of the children of promise to the Holy City, when there was the reestablishing of the temple service, the activities of the rebuilding of same and rebuilding of the walls of the city.
33. The entity was in the authority of the builders, yet given in service for the preparing and the attending of the sacrifices that were prepared during those experiences.
34. Hence a priest, and of the household of the Levites - and a close association with Zerubbabel, though not of the same house - in the name then Zepheniath.
35. In the experience the entity made for closer associations with those that were in the agricultural activities, with those that were as the merchants and the tradesmen; and these made for the great stresses that were brought upon the activities of the entity in associations with those that were left in the land aforetime when there was the carrying away to captivity. But the entity made for the better relationships, and these give the abilities for the making of closer relationships and closer undertakings between the laborers and those in authority.
36. Hence we will find that though the activities have to do with the nature's storehouses, these will also have to do with those in authority and the preservation of soil, cattle, the various characters or kinds necessary and adaptable to the various periods or seasons or activities in various portions of the land in which the entity will make for distribution - if there is given the proper direction in this developing period of this particular experience.
37. Before that, then, we find the entity was active in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the turmoils and strifes that arose from the changing of the kings, the banishment of the priest, the rebellions that arose.
38. The entity then was one in authority by the activities or agreements between the old King and those that were of the new regime that came into force and power. For the entity then was that one who made for the preservations of what would be called in the present granaries or storehouses
1442-1 Page 5
for the preservation from season to season of that which was to supply bread and its associate activities in those periods.
39. The name then was Shu-Bel, and in the experience the entity gained. For though the turmoils of the political, social and religious natures were brought about the entity, there were the abilities of the entity to keep the balance and to prevent a great deal of distress in the activities in those lands - so as to bring the services of the entity in the preservation of much that may yet be found in the Temple of Records.
40. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
41. As has been indicated, few retardments in the experience of the entity in the material plane.
42. Hence if there is the training, if there is the developing and the applying of self in those fields of service or activity as correlate in the present with the activities of the entity during the experiences and sojourns in the earth, we will find that field of service, that field of direction in which material, mental and spiritual growth may be obtained.
43. Then, keep the self in accord with those principles not only of friendships but faithfulness - as implied in the sincerity; and we will find this experience becoming again an outstanding activity of the entity in its relationships with its fellow man and with the public as a whole.
44. Ready for questions.
45. (Q) For what specific vocation am I best fitted? (A) As indicated, in any of the fields of service or activity having to do with those that produce FROM the soil and DISTRIBUTE the fruits of the soil.
46. (Q) What subjects should I take up the next two years in High School, to fit me to take such a course? (A) All of those that direct to, or lean to the direction of soil, forest or agricultural conservation to the individual activities in various portions of the country.
47. (Q) What college should I attend to prepare for my life's work? (A) This will depend upon the activities, and will be directed by and in those fields of service or activity as would carry forward the chosen portion of these directions.
48. (Q) Should I go to work after I finish High School and go to college at night, or should I go to college in the day? (A) As we find, after High School one year of work, then to college; for the preparation for an activity in those fields as indicated.

49. (Q) For what purpose did I choose my particular parents at this time? (A) The help that they may give, and the help YE may give.
50. (Q) What has been my relationship in the past to my present mother [2003]? (A) Very close in relationship in the Egyptian period and in the period of the return to those activities in the Holy Land - these the direction.
51. (Q) To my brother, [1261]? (A) Only as an acquaintance in associations. Hence the differences that arise oft.
52. (Q) Should any of the three of us work together, or individually, to any desired end? (A) These we haven't TOGETHER, but ALL are for activities for a common cause or purpose; that the glory of the Father may be manifested in the earth. This makes a COMMON cause for all.
53. (Q) Is there a physical or mental cause for the insanity apparently running in my father's family? (A) We haven't the father's family. These would come more direct from the physical or the material direction.
54. (Q) Just what should be my attitude and action in regard to same, in order to offset or avoid such influences in my own experience? (A) Keep the eye single to a service for SPIRITUAL understanding, and a mental aberration or a mental disturbance may not touch thee!
55. (Q) Just how is this condition transmitted from one generation to another? (A) We haven't the generation, as given.
56. We are through for the present. Copy to Self, thru mother " " Ass'n file " " Mr. and Mrs. David E. Kahn
