1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the present personality, individuality, of the entity now known as [1742].
2. In entering we find astrologically influences are in Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn. In the astrological influences we find many variations existent in the present appearance, or application of self to those influences in an astrological way and manner as present themselves; the entity being in those signs, and particularly in the influence of Mercury, becomes one VERY high-minded, mentally well balanced, and exceptional in its own individual activities, in that the mental proclivities, the mental attitudes of the body become as one that is often termed too hard-headed to become even practical. With the many VARYING aspects as has come, then, we find these are as the influences - and as manifestedly in the personality of the entity in the present:
3. One capable of dealing either with the MATERIAL things of life - hence capable of making for self that of a career, either in the fields of finance, politics or religion, and they are just about the extremes to the entity in its various aspects; for to the entity each individual phase of every experience of life must be set in its particular niche and be judged from that particular viewpoint. Hence detail, minutia, fine points, fine differentiations in actions - whether mental, material, or what not - are to the entity those of the NECESSARY details that must be adhered to by each and everyone. This also makes for that attitude often considered by others as of the entity being hard-headed, one-minded, one-sided in its actions or activities; yet INNATELY there are those spiritual influences as seen in Venus, WITH Mercury, that WITH Mercury, Venus and JUPITER - and especially from the middle portion of the life, which
1742-2 Page 2
should begin now near the coming birthday, near the 22nd to 20th of October, would be the meridian of the entity's present experience - and beginning in that atmosphere when the astrological aspects of Jupiter with Mercury and Venus bring those experiences in the entity's present experience, that will make for the developing of, the manifesting of, the LOVE - and the magnificent or BENEVOLENT influences as come WITH that of one well GROUNDED in mental sources and forces, and WITH the benevolence, and with patience, and with the love as may be seen, will bring for the entity that period of the greater development, the greater abilities, the greater source, channel AND manner in which the entity may apply itself in its relationships to others, as to bring for the greater development in this present appearance. True, as the entity has experienced from its appearances, as well as its training and influences in the present, those that would aid must follow in a very DEFINITE line or channel of activity, as must the entity for itself lay its plans well and hew to the line - as all must in their activities, to the ENTITY'S own understanding; yet with these lessons gained, that each in their OWN way must be the channel of blessings to others, may the entity - with the APPLICATION of that gained in self's OWN experience - give to others a greater understanding, bring a greater development for self in the years to come - and these, as we find, will be many in this experience, are these kept much in the manner or the channel as has been laid out FOR the entity by itself.
4. In the appearances, then, and the effect that these have upon the present experience, and that development that may be attained by the study and the application of the variations as may be paralleled in the appearances - and that done with the opportunities as were presented through those experiences:
5. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the French land, though on the borderland BETWEEN - or that known as the Fatherland and the French land. The entity then in those periods when there were the overrunning of the land by others that would subdue, others that would make for those of a REIGN (rein) in the activities of individuals. The entity then during that period among those that suffered much, and much was there of the attitude of vengeance, of strife, of contention, experienced by the entity; yet the entity gained much and lost much THROUGH the experience. In the NAME Hertziel. In the experience in the present there is seen those many contentions arising over the various fields of endeavors through which most
1742-2 Page 3
contentions arise in this material plane - the home, the conduct as to the religious life, and the conduct as to the political life. In these things has the entity had DEFINITE ideas, DEFINITE stands taken, as from those influences innately carried over. These with LOVE, these with patience, these with UNDERSTANDING, may be turned into channels where the entity may give much to many peoples in many channels, in many ways, especially in its social, economic, and its spiritual life.
6. In the one then before this we find in that land, and during that period when there were the spreading of those teachings of the peoples from the holy land into the Eternal City, as was then termed - as is oft considered in the present. The entity then among those of the womenfolk who followed those that were imprisoned during those periods, who were forced to give account of the activities before those in power, and the entity suffered in body and in mind, gained after there had been that suffering and that understanding coming in that there BE the needs oft that those of the physical must be crucified that the SPIRITUAL life may be made alive. In the name then Polias, and a follower of him who taught in the catacombs of the city, he who was crucified with his head downward, and a member of his household, being then a SISTER of Peter's wife. In this experience is seen those necessities of the early religious training by the entity, and of those set rules as pertain to the spiritual life. With the awakenings that have come to the entity in the last few years, many of the dogmatic INFLUENCES in this direction have been broken down, and the entity has sought in many channels for that to grasp hold of that would answer for that as seems INNATELY not WHOLLY grasped but by few. In the application then of self in the study of those applications of the spiritual life, as must to the entity be paralleled by the deeds or works as are done, rather than of boastings or of beautiful sayings; but rather in the material things does the answer come to the entity; as these are seen made manifest in self from Polias' viewpoint may there come the broader understanding, and the more ability in the applying of self that others seeing may know and understand that those teachings as were given in that day are alive in those who believe in His name.
7. In the one then before this we find during that period in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during those periods when there were rebellions, turmoils in the land, with the banishment of the priest during that period. The entity then in the name Lei-Diie, offered in the temple many of those sacrifices as were GIVEN to the priests for their
1742-2 Page 4
activity. In the changed sex, then, did the entity then appear, and - as was seen by the activities of the entity in that period - much heat, argument, much turmoil to the entity under the various strains and rules as came in the period. The entity lost through that experience, gaining only in the latter days when - with the establishing again of the spiritual life, the material affairs, and the dispensing or dispersing of those that would give to other lands and other peoples that as had been gained through those studies, through those applications of individuals in their lives - did the entity begin to understand and to see that peace may come TO those who have CLEANSED their minds, their bodies, of those things that so EASILY beset, by filling same with the meditation of the heart towards SPIRITUAL things. Love, that begetteth grace. Peace, that giveth understanding. Temperance that behooveth the body to be crucified in those things that are DETRIMENTAL to the understandings of the brain, and those that would succor the afflicted, those that would stand instead of those that were tempted. THESE the entity learned in the latter days, and aided much in the distribution of the tenets as were given and applied, even in the foreign lands. The entity then becoming the first of those to establish in the GRECIAN land, as known now, that of the worship of the Most High, THROUGH these efforts as established then in the hill. In the present, that seeking as the entity has reached those periods when the turning of the mental forces of the spiritual body is aroused more and more, this seeking again will bring to the body that which gives peace and understanding.
8. In the abilities, and that to which the entity may attain in the present:
9. To become, then, again an emissary of the Truth, as the entity sees and knows same, will be the channel, the way, in which the entity may gain most in material, mental and spiritual development; knowing that, as was given in those tombs, as was taught by those lowly men of Galilee, this again may be awakened in the minds and hearts of all who would seek to know the Way. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What can I do to use my unfoldment for others? (A) Give out; even as ye have received, give unto others.
11. (Q) Do I still need to unfold in an individual way before helping others in any definite way? (A) In helping, in giving out to others may the unfoldment come; not in those things that would become as evil SPOKEN of, but in little acts of kindness, little words here and there - for little by little, line upon line, precept upon
1742-2 Page 5
precept, does one gain in self, and add to others.
