1. EC: We have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [1738].
2. In entering the earth's plane or experience in THIS experience, astrologically, we find these the ruling influences in the life of the present entity, irrespective of will's influence.
3. Those of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and of Neptune. These, as we find, bring many varying influences, and many varying intuitive influences in the experience of the entity and dependent upon the application of will in self's own experience, and in self's own innate influences, as to the development or retarding of the entity in the present experience; for while we find these varying, many have been the circumstances under which the entity has developed THROUGH the earth's experiences, and environmental conditions in the entity's present experience will have MUCH to do with the trend of thought and the application of the entity's abilities in the present experience.
4. In the application of will in the present experience: These environs as influence the entity have been such as to mold the mental body much in the manner of the presentation of influences in the entity's experience. Hence we find the entity choosing those environs in the application of self's INNATE experience, and the developments have been - and will be - much in line with that as has been set before the entity; for the entity has been well grounded in those principles of the appreciation of the influence of the spiritual life above the mental life, above the social environs. THESE are the basis, and the basic forces through which each and every entity SHOULD be trained, and not too much may be said for the ABILITIES of those who have trained, influenced, and surrounded the entity with those
1738-1 Page 2
principles, those conditions, as has brought for the awakening of those influences in the entity as make for, first, an IDEAL. Not merely an IDEALIST is the entity, but in EVERY phase of experience does the entity measure the actions, the activities, the influences and the actions - whether from the mere sense of duty, whether in the spiritual sense or the mental sense, or of the social sense - that the ENNOBLING influence MUST be gauged by an IDEAL. Hence the entity finds in self the seeking of the ideal surroundings, weighing same - measuring this - by the standard as is set before self, as whether it be the sunset, a voyage, a visit, an individual, a picture, or what not. These, to the entity, to be REAL, must MEASURE to a standard. DO NOT LOSE THAT IDEAL! Do not become idealistic, or one that may not vision the various phases of individual development, both through that of environmental or of hereditary influence - for these are a portion of every individual's lot, and is an INDIVIDUAL development - but each individual MUST have an IDEAL; NOT merely ideas; for IDEAS may be all wrong; IDEALS are worth working for.
5. One, then, that, in the Jupiterian influence, has the VISION of life in MANY of its phases.
6. In Neptune there comes those influences as will be in travel in wide expanses of space, many peoples, many positions of that character that requires the application of all that HAS been or MAY BE given in the DEVELOPMENT of the mental abilities of the entity.
7. In Venus comes the ideal love, the ideal home, the ideal experience of home.
8. In Mercury, those influences in the entity of that as is of the mental INTUITIVE forces, and the entity itself may gain much through the dependence of self's own mental forces, aided by that training in the application of the IDEAL forces, to be able to meet the situations in life as they PRESENT themselves from time to time; even as the developments of the entity through the earth's experience, the entity able to meet those conditions as presented themselves, and THROUGH same HAS builded about self that which will not falter; for He in whom the trust of the entity is placed is able to keep that committed unto Him against that day when the reckoning of those conditions that would bewilder or give fear. Let not the fear of what others may say enter into ANY activity of self, for in the ABILITIES of self, will the IDEAL be held, may be found the answer to any question that may present itself. Each have their life to live. Each make the personal application of that as is builded in the inner consciousness of self. Only
1738-1 Page 3
by the USE of the talents given may one grow strong in grace, or in power, or in the application of that felt in self.
9. In experiences, then, we find:
10. In the one before this in that land now called Vineland, or Connecticut. The entity then among those who came to that land as settlers; becoming the one who gave most in the understanding of the MUSIC of that period, and the companion of the MUSICIANS of that period. In the name Alti. In this experience the entity developed much, in being able to meet the emergencies and the varying conditions; suffering in PHYSICAL, yet in the mental and SPIRITUAL body GROWING much. These lands, these countries about same, have a peculiar influence upon the entity, and especially weird music, or that of the conditions out of the ordinary as respecting same. The associations of the entity WITH that musician in that period will always be WELL, and the DEVELOPMENT in the present should be with that one; for waters, across waters, in courts, in lands where conditions are changed, will the entity go - and the abilities to give the ease and understanding will not fail the entity, will the IDEAL be kept.
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Grecian, during that period when much discussion was made respecting the tenets of the soldier teacher who suffered in that period. Then, during the days of Socrates. The entity then in the household of one taught by Socrates, and became a STUDENT of the one, and the entity then in the name Astraiod, and there may be found yet, of the songs and the sonnets as were written by the entity during that period, and those of such lines and of such expressions are still interesting, innately, to the entity. While the figure, the form as worshipped by many, with those of the worshipfulness of the mental abilities of the people during that period, are held ALOOF by the entity. Hence, especially the Grecian play, or the Grecian costume, or anything pertaining TO that period, has especial interest for the entity.
12. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Egyptian. The entity then among those that were of the TEMPLE service, when the divisions came through the banishment of the priest. The entity remained in the temple throughout the whole of the discussion period, rising in POWER and in ABILITY during the succeeding of the building of the application of man's relationship to the creative forces as were manifest in the latter portion of the entity's experience. In the name Ibra, and the entity
1738-1 Page 4
associated with those who brought to the peoples those of the understanding of the relationships of those that came as aliens and those of the home land; the entity being the SECOND of the native maidens raised to the temple service. In the present, the spiritual insight, influences, have their sway with the entity, and the ability to be - what would slangly be called - tolerant to all religion, is innate in the entity; giving and taking; yet the MYSTERY, or the form of ANY sacred service, becomes awe inspiring to the entity; for the entity was close to the incense burner during that period.
13. In the one before this we find in that land known as Poseida, or Atlantean. The entity then of those peoples that gained in power THROUGH the application of the mental forces. Hence the entity in the present finds self not wholly at ease in the presence of those who claim much and in application show so little; for the entity hateth and despiseth a lie; and honor and truth and SINCERITY, is the INNATE FEELINGS of the entity; yet those of that experience, as Amilaee, the entity feels little of awe at the application of mechanical conditions, or mechanical influences means little, as does mathematical problems mean little to the entity; as peoples and things, TIMES and places, these mean much more.
14. In the abilities of the entity, and that to which the entity may attain in the present, and how:
15. Home influences, with those of the broadening of the travel, and the companion of one that must meet peoples, in places - as those that would exchange ideas that rule nations and powers, the entity WILL succeed; KEEPING that ideal - for in Him that giveth light, trust is placed by the entity. Keep to that faith as lies within, for none can take away THAT as is felt from WITHIN. While position, power, fame and fortune, may take wings, but that of self - well grounded in the faith of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts - makes one NOT afraid, even though all stand against thee; for "He that is on the Lord's side need NOT be afraid". Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Is it worth my preparing for college? (A) By all means!
17. (Q) Which college do you advise? (A) Any that, and particularly those that, train for the associations of self in MANY climes - for the entity must be, will be, an emissary - will it keep the faith. Not a MISSIONARY; an emissary!
18. (Q) Would you advise me going to a different preparatory school?
1738-1 Page 5
(A) No.
19. (Q) Is the entity too active socially at her age? (A) No; for the entity is well balanced in this respect. Just keep that IDEAL. The entity is out of the ordinary, ESPECIALLY in this respect, that those associates in social affairs and social relations MUST measure to an IDEAL, or the entity CANNOT ASSOCIATE with such. DO NOT LOWER THE STANDARD!
20. (Q) Are the present intimate girl friends the right influence? (A) Some are, some are not. Be governed by that one and those who have trained, who have counselled well with the entity as respecting these. Then weigh same in the balance of the ideal held by self, and make decision for self - for out of LITTLE things do GREAT conditions and associations and relations grow. Harbor not that in any manner that would eventually bring to self even discontent, and - most of all - the discouragement of self's abilities. Do not lose faith in self, but not pampered - but tutored in that way as is known in self is towards the IDEAL as was set by Him, in that - "Though He were the Father, yet in the Son came that relationship with man and woman that exalted, honored, GLORIFIED, WOMANHOOD!
21. (Q) What are the entity's weakest faults in character and what can she do to overcome them? (A) These may have been easily seen in that warning, and in those conditions as has been given. The entity is EASILY influenced by others. DO NOT lower the STANDARD of self's own IDEAL. This the weakness; this that which the entity must apply WILL. Developments have been the entity's lot in most of the experiences. Then, do not LOWER self's own discernment, or self's own interests.
22. (Q) At what age will the entity be married, and will her marriage be successful? (A) This may be best determined by the entity itself. As we would find, it would be near twenty-two or three; and, will those associations be with that one as the entity aided in Vineland, these will be successful.
23. (Q) How may the entity know that one in the present? (A) For the interests in music, especially in the weird music of the outdoors. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Datastician
