1. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [1916], as now known, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. The entity entered during that period when the earth and its forces was under Saturn's influence, bringing an accentuation in the experiences of those entering during this period, whereby an effort for the application of will's influences - through environmental conditions and those as related to same in the present experience - will be a task for each entity.
3. In that, then, innate - and from the astrological experiences that are manifestedly in the entity in the present, exhibited in innate influences and personalities manifested in the body-being, we find:
4. One that is under the Mercurian influence of exceptional mental abilities, in cunning, in wit, in cynicism, and these may be made a portion of, for the development of, or for the building of that which may make for hardships or developments in the entity's present experience.
5. Under the influences that will be seen in Saturn, making for that regeneration of self in the present experience, this dealing much with the physical forces of the body - both as pertaining to the physical body and to those influences in the views that are taken by the body or entity as respecting the varied associations with individuals, with things, conditions and surroundings; yet one wavered through Jupiter's influence, that making for benevolence in the experience of the entity that may be as the saving grace, when considered from astrological or innate influences, giving those forces wherein - with the application of will, tempered with that built within the soul force itself - there may be brought those influences that may make for a development through this present experience.
6. One naturally, then, inclined towards those conditions as
1916-5 Page 2
of detail - especially adapted in that of being one who might build self in the capacity of a trusted secretarial position, provided these were kept within that influence that makes for the development of the mental and soul forces of an individual.
7. In the various spheres of experiences, these we find as innate OR manifested - dependent upon the application the entity may make of self through will's influence as to these conditions in the experience of the entity.
8. One that finds self in that position of making friendships easily.
9. One that enables others to see themselves - as may be expressed in word or action by the entity - in a manner as not yet seen. Hence the entity may be a very helpful or a very dangerous individual to people who are in close friendship to the entity, yet the entity in self is one that may be trusted in many ways and manners as respecting those intents and purposes of the entity - but the entity needs that ever guiding factor of an ideal, in which the entity may itself entrust its intent and purpose to a whole extent; for when doubts and dissensions arise, the entity easily becomes panicky in its mental forces, as well as from those influences that have been experienced by the entity through the urges received in its various experiences in the earth's plane, or throughout the forces of the inter-between.
10. In those conditions that make for the PERSONALITY of the entity, these are PLEASING in many ways. Others are easily influenced by the entity, when they are under the entity's innate or directed thought.
11. In the abilities of the entity, these - as we find - run more to that of a CAREER (as may be termed in the earth's experience) than to that of the home building. Rather as the leader, or as one who will be the force behind leaders, may the entity excel or exceed most in the present experience - both as for self's own development and for the service or aid that may be rendered to others in the various fields of endeavor in which the entity may lend self in this experience.
12. In those conditions that are as likes and dislikes in the entity, the attempt to ever be helpful to those whom the entity contacts stands forth as the INDIVIDUALITY, as well as personality, in the entity's experience. Also the entity finds that super-sensitiveness in self often brings the most troublesome conditions, or the discontents that arise in the affairs or experiences of the entity.
13. In the appearances, and the effects these have had upon the present experience - or do have, or will have:

14. In the one before this we find during that period of the history in the land now known as the French. The entity was then among the household of Louis the 15th, when those were as mad periods in the entity's sojourn, as well as in the development of the continuity of energies rendered in service for others, or for the aggrandizing of selfish interests in the entity and in the affairs of the period in that land. In the name Elois, and as a companion - or as a companion for those companions (for there were both) to the king, the entity lost and gained, and lost, through the experience; for the entity was given much to the gratifying of the desires of the flesh, and of the position of ease irrespective of how it was accomplished, which has brought that harmful condition that is apparent in the entity's present experience. There was the love of the positions that wrought rather the easier way, or ease for self and self's surroundings, rather than being able to meet the vicissitudes and the troubles. In the service rendered under stress and strain, the entity gained; losing most in this experience - and the conditions are manifested in the entity in the present.
15. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the promised Land. The entity was among those during the return of the peoples to the Promised Land, in that period when Zerubbabel's force led the peoples back to the Holy City. The entity was then among those who came of the MIXED peoples from the land, yet claiming its heritage and living up to it the entity gained through the early portion of that experience; losing only in the latter days when there were the attempts of many to make for a joining of forces with the peoples roundabout. When those peoples sought to make an association and connection, the entity was among those who carried such back and forth. In this the entity lost, being something of what might be called an emissary, or a diplomat, failing in its keeping of the trust, or tryst, with the various presentations of its OWN peoples. In the developing period there was much of that as pertains to the conditions felt innately, of service in places where there are prayers, or music, or the wanton conditions of man as presenting a portion of self in a service to an unseen force, as manifests itself in life, rather than seeking for the source of that force and that to which the individual or man may apply self in its close relations. In the present these are seen in that as may be termed the RELIGIOUS, or the tendency towards the love of those conditions that pertain to religious life.
16. In the one before this we find in that period and in the
1916-5 Page 4
land now known as the Egyptian. The entity was then during the period when there was the entering in of the peoples who later became the rulers, or those that set up a different kingdom. The entity was among those who entered from the hill land, being beautiful of body, of mind, and of a rule over many of those who led in this entering in, or in the invasion - as it may have been called. Being of the household and a relative of the priest that came into command, the entity occupied a position then that might have been - and was - envied by many of the natives and the people with whom the entity made more close associations, that brought some of the discussions and dissensions later in that period; yet the entity gained most through this experience, for in the latter portion of the experience the entity found that in compliance with those relationships as established by peoples with individuals, or relationships of individuals to the creative energies, these brought (to those using that information) that satisfying from within that makes for the BEAUTY in life, and its worth whileness. In the name then, As-Aiel.
17. In the one before this we find in that land known now as the Peruvian, during the period of the Ohums [Ohms - Ohums?? Aymaras] - before the Incals and the peoples of the Poseidian land entered. The entity was then a priestess in this land, and a ruler - or a co-ruler with those who made insurrections, and those who later brought much persecution on the peoples through the furnishing of that for the gratifying of selfish interests; yet the entity high in mind, high in development - not losing, not gaining in soul's development through the period. In the present we find those innate desires of travel, of exchange of ideas, ideals. The abilities to make an ensample in life, to make for associations through communications, are builded in the entity.
18. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain:
19. As is seen, much is to be overcome - much has been required of the entity; much IS suffered by the entity from many spheres, many phases, in the present. In seeking first the counsel of that from within, that may be gained most by relying upon the soul's cry for an opportunity to manifest itself, listening and harkening to that which may be builded through the spiritual forces of self that will lift up, will enable the entity to make that close association with that promise in Him; for he, or she, that will put their trust in Him - laying the burdens of the body-mind, the burdens of the soul upon Him, will find they are not climbing up some
1916-5 Page 5
other way. Kick not against the pricks that would make of life a burden in many ways, but rather know that wholly trusting, wholly faith, wholly understanding may come in Him. Ready for questions. We are through for the present. Copy to Self Two copies to Ass'n office
