1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [1734].
2. In entering, we find the entity astrologically coming under the influences of Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus. In the changes as have come in the application of the will in the present experience, we find those influences as manifest in Mars and in Uranus are the RULING influences in the present experience; yet those manifestations of the entity in Jupiter AND in Mercury have their influence, yet in the DEVELOPMENTS FOR the entity, those relationships in the activities of those forces as seen in Uranian influence bear most on the entity's development, the entity's success in the MATERIAL world, and those in that of JUPITER being that as would have the influence in the development as for the MENTAL and SPIRITUAL plane.
3. As is seen in the Uranian influence, these become either VERY good or VERY bad. In the application as the entity has made IN the present experience, these have been so far toward that of good, and the influences as may come through those of occult influence are good, APPLIED in the proper manner; there being that differentiation made by self as to occult influence as PURELY occult, and that as is of the psychic forces as have to do with those of the MENTAL and the SPIRITUAL forces in an entity. Occult being rather those ALONE that may be used for divination or subjugation of others in their various elements of development; while the purely psychic AND occult will deal more WITH those of the mental and spiritual life. These of interest, especially, to the entity, and in the ability to designate and to draw the proper conclusion in the application OF the influences gained, will be for the development and for the ADVANCEMENT OF the entity, whether related to the earthly experience or material forces, or of mental body or of
1734-3 Page 2
spiritual body.
4. In those influences as seen in the PERSONALITY as manifested by the entity:
5. Those interests as the entity has as regarding those of machinery, or of those that are of the mechanical nature that has to do with the PLEASURE and ALSO with the COMMERCIAL and BUSINESS side of individuals; THIS a condition as may well demonstrate TO the entity JUST what IS given AS respecting that of THE influence of occult forces in the life. The SPIRITUAL side accept, the spiritualistic side reject. The OCCULT forces study, just as in COMMERCIAL forces alone the entity would NOT succeed. In pleasure AND commercial forces the entity succeeds in the material plane. Just as the change is coming in the present period, and through the next ten to twenty years, the entity may succeed most FINANCIALLY IN the INVESTMENTS, that has to do with the aerial conditions, or those both of COMMERCIAL and of PLEASURE in motor crafts, as of air or as of radio. These are of the aerial influences, or of the air. As the entity's influence has much in the relationships with same through that as has been applied in the life, taken in the manner as given may mean much in the DEVELOPMENT of the entity, or applied IMPROPERLY may mean much retarding for the entity. These are to be studied as the influences and interests in the experience of [1734], and considered in those relationships WITH the experience OF the entity in the various experiences through the earth's plane.
6. As in the experience before this, we find in that land known as Grecian, and during that period when there was much discussion as respecting the mental development of man, and during that period known as Socrates' age. The entity then one who PERSECUTED the body, the MENTAL forces OF those who thought or studied along those lines, and REJECTING that as was PRESENTED by Socrates as for thought, for study. In the name Astroidal. In the experiences, the entity lost AND gained, both in MENTAL and in MATERIAL things. Gained materially during that period the entity or body, as Astroidal, fought or sought to suppress those teachings. GAINED in the MENTAL and SPIRITUAL body, losing in MATERIAL things, when the entity began to study and teach and UNDERSTAND for self. Again we find that same influence in the entity's experience as may be seen in the present, of being able MENTALLY to become conscious of that as is the proper interpretation of those forces as manifest to the entity in the various phase of mental and SPIRITUAL application; for with the CORRECT application mentally and SPIRITUALLY, material affairs take care of themselves. In
1734-3 Page 3
the present experience we find those studies of the period are both interesting and antagonistic to the study or thought of the entity. At times it is easily passed over; at others, counsel in self through the reasoning of the peoples of the period, and especially of the disciples of that one persecuted by the entity.
7. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Persian. The entity then among those that were of the rule that gathered together much of this world's goods in gold, precious stone, metals, of various and foreign lands; spices and herbs; and the entity the KEEPER of same for that ruler known during that period as Croesus, and the entity gained and lost through that experience. In the name Bestreld, and the NAME may STILL be found among those of that period when they will be uncovered in the land in the UPPER Chaldean country. In the experiences of that period, the entity gained in the ability to serve many in MANY ways; not only those of the peoples in that land but of those in the foreign lands. LOSING in storing or HOARDING, that caused the destruction of the PHYSICAL conditions by the hordes from the hill country to the South; and the entity gained even in the persecutions as were brought about by those who captured and destroyed much of the storehouse of the peoples and of those gathered by the entity in the period. In the present, we find all such are of interest to the entity, in a more or less PASSIVE manner, but that a manner in which these may BE made secure, as IS gathered, is of ESPECIAL interest to the entity, how they may be preserved or kept against ANY inroads, or ANY of outside influences. In the application of this period, the entity finds much in common as may be the experience in the present application of the entity's experience in THIS life.
8. In the one before this we find in that land known as Egypt, and when there were the peoples coming in from the North. The entity then that one whom the peoples overran, and in the name Raai, and the entity was of those peoples who first brought to that land the study of the relationships of man to the Creative Energy, and attempted to ESTABLISH this relation with the peoples in the gathering and in the calling of same together, and neglected to countenance those that called on the entity for the defense against the hordes that came in from the North country, in the name of Arart [165], and the entity fought LITTLE with the peoples, subjecting self rather than making bloodshed for the peoples of the land, and through the application of self in the period - while condemned by others, condemned by own peoples for the time - the entity gained MOST in ALL its
1734-3 Page 4
experiences through that period. Not in merely submission, but in that the PRINCIPLE as was given BY the entity DURING that period became the basis for the studies of the prince of Peace, and the establishing OF those schools as began in the land by those that overran the land. In the present the entity will find the call of the SPIRITUAL forces emanating most from THAT experience.
9. In the ABILITIES of the entity and that to which it may attain, and how:
10. As is seen, the study of the relationships as have been given BY the entity throughout its experiences in the earth's plane, and as to their physical, mental, and SPIRITUAL application. In THESE the entity may excel, either in a SPIRITUAL insight, the MENTAL application, or the material things of life. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Has the entity any religious tendencies? (A) Just as given, the deepest seated of MOST men! Religious in SELF! We are through. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Datastician " " Hugh Lynn Cayce " " Morton Blumenthal
