1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present personality, [1733].
2. There is the inclination here, from those records as we see, of impending influences that may bring some uneasiness, discouragements and dissensions in the experience of the entity during the birth date in the present year.
3. In entering, we find astrologically the influences are in those periods that bring for conditions that may be made a real development, or conditions that may be left as mediocre, or conditions that may be made as to bring discouragement and disorder for the entity. These we find rather unusual conditions as surround the entity. There have been periods in the development in the present experience when the material conditions of life so overshadowed the rest of the entity as to make for that, that has made the entity a doubter and a wonderer. There have been periods when the trials, the turmoils, the sadnesses in material things have opened for the entity a vista of promises that were, while they lasted, beautiful; gradually fading, these have brought again those of uncertainties, distrusts in self's abilities, distrusts in others with whom the entity has been associated. These, to be sure, with the entity's experience, the entity's environs, may be easily cast aside. Attempts may be made to put them out of the experience, yet these will constantly face the entity, unless there is some DEFINITE stand taken that is nearer in accord with that innate influence that cries out for a stability for self, that it may tie to that something that will be enduring. This in its analyses, will the entity but perceive same, is the far cry for an ideal to find an expression in the activities of the entity, and to get far away from those things that are of the physical that so easily beset the mind of carnal forces, carnal influences
1733-2 Page 2
in an experience of an entity; for as seen, as experienced by the entity, when a soul has wandered afield and is closed in by those conditions that make for a continued combativeness without a stabilizing influence, one EASILY flounders.
4. In the astrological, we find as these - these rather the experiences than that as has been, or would be, termed from a PURELY astrological; for the influences in the earth as applied to the EXPERIENCES of the entity in other sojourns make for that as is builded:
5. In the appearances, then, we find as these:
6. In the one before this we find during that period in the revolutions in now France. The entity was then among those that were in the way of being pulled both by political and church conditions in the experience. In the name Amelia, in the household of an officer of the guard to the king in the period, the entity sought to establish those connections, associations or relations between those that were of the patriots (as termed) and those of the peoples that rebelled. The entity gained and lost through the experience. Gained when keeping hold of an ideal as to the purposes of individual attainments in services to others; losing in the hold lost upon an ideal turned to the gratifying of own material and selfish desires; and, as may be termed, IN the law of self-preservation did the entity LOSE self as to its ideal. Hence some combativeness in the present experience, and this continual warring of ideas, purposes, aims, desires of the entity. Through many a trial has the entity passed, both as to the material DEVELOPMENTS in this experience and in the varied associations, in the varied surroundings, in the various attempts to stand alone; yet falling - for FAILING to hold TO the IDEAL.
7. In the one we find before this during that period when there was the return of the peoples from the places of bondage, or the supervisions of others, and with the return of the peoples under Nehemiah the entity again returned to the Promised Land, in the household and in the lineage of the children of Benjamin. The entity then in the name Eliah gained through this experience; though in hardships, though in trials, though in tribulation, there was found by the entity that those who seek the Lord while He may be found - and having a workable knowledge of His desires towards men - may have that as is builded in in material position, whether it be fame, fortune, social, or what; but a MERITING of that shown must be that as comes to each soul in ITS sojourn, its application to the experiences of the entity. In the present is seen that of the tendency towards a confining of
1733-2 Page 3
self, especially in the early period of experience in the present, to the laws as pertaining to His peoples. Later these were expanded to that of a more LOOSELY understanding of same. Later they have become those of NOT understood, and a WONDERMENT to the entity.
8. In the one before this we find during that period when there was the entering in of the peoples from the north land into that now known as Egypt. The entity was then of the natives who were in the household of the leading RULER of the period, and among those that were put aside when the entering in brought those whom that ruler accepted into the household. The entity then gained in the early portion of the service rendered the people; losing with the adverse forces as were brought into the experience by the entering in of others. Hence the little vision as is often seen or felt as respecting peoples of other-faiths, other classes, other denominations of experience; yet these being BUILDED in the present experience, the entity is gaining something of an insight into that necessary for individuals to be open to the truth WHEREVER it may be found.
9. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
10. As has been seen, the entity innately depends upon the affluence, the influence of others and becomes a reflected light of that it desires. In the attempts to stand alone comes distress, turmoils, and that of mis-understandings. These having occurred in the experiences in the present of the entity, the entity finds self at a WONDERMENT in the present. So, the associations, the affiliations with those where the home is AS an INSTITUTION for the dispensing of those things that are the FOUNDATIONS of same to those the entity may contact in EVERY WALK of life, and necessary for the better development, expansion, understanding, and for ALL relationships for the entity.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What days are best for business of this body? (A) Sixth day, whether of the week, the month, or what.
13. (Q) What dates for closing deals? (A) Those that would be opposite, or the multiple of same - would be then on the 12th or the 3rd, or the 9th, see?
14. (Q) What business for body's best success? (A) The home.
15. (Q) What will 1931 and 1932 bring to body? (A) That depends upon the entity's being able to grasp that ideal that is innate from the entity's experiences through the earth plane, as applied to the physical conditions of the body.
