1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [1919].
2. In the astrological influences, these - we find - vary in their influence in this entity, according to the application of the entity's will in the various spheres and experiences through which it has passed. Astrologically, we find these from the planetary or sojourns in THIS sphere:
3. In Jupiter is seen the influences that have made for a broadness of vision, a nobleness of purpose, and an idealism in the aims.
4. In the application in the entity's present experience (for the greater portion of this experience has passed, in the entity's experience in the present), these - as we find - bring also those conditions that in the next two or three years will be the trying period in the physical and in the mental attitudes of the entity, as respecting the vicissitudes - as they may be termed - in the life. Those vexations at times - for, as Jupiter recedes in its activity, not until the latter portion of the present year will there again be the ennobling or BENEFICENT influence of a NATURAL expression; so the WILL during this period will be tried for the entity.
5. In the influences in Venus, we find those that make for one that is of the home building, and one that love and graciousness is as the rule rather of life.
6. One that makes - through these influences - one not hard to deal with; an excellent neighbor, a loving companion; not always considered a good SPEECH maker, yet a sincerity and earnestness in the manifestations physically AND spokenly, or orally, that makes for the companionate, compassionate, comfortableness, in the entity's associations.
7. One that makes friends, not easily - but one that holds those that are made.
8. In the influences as seen in SATURN, these are as an
1919-2 Page 2
alteration brought in the present experience, and are turned from the application of self FROM that experience as a BENEFICENT influence, rather than of the turmoil. Hence the beneficent planetary influences are bad, while the altering or bad influences are turned beneficent. Hence the alterations that may be said to be in the entity's experience, and oftentimes from this there arises those periods when there are questions to be decided and the entity finds the greatest answer not in other than self's own entering the silence, or prayer. NOT one as an extremist in religious thought, but one that claims little and applies MUCH.
9. One that makes for those things which influence peoples through appetites; not as carnally so, necessarily - yet keeps MANY an individual - whether friend or foe, whether a neighbor or passing acquaintance - GUESSING as to what will actually be the activity of the entity as relating to any circumstance that may arise in their associations. These are often well, and at TIMES make for misunderstandings.
10. In the appearances of the entity in the earth's plane, and their influence in the present:
11. In the one, then, before this we find during that period when the first of the peoples came to the new land, and in that portion now known as the north, when the entity was then among those who were of the first born in that land and among the peoples then known as the settlers of the north land, around what is NOW Quebec. In the name Beaulieu. From this experience the entity finds much in the present that is as contradictory, yet again satisfying much in the experiences through which the entity passed - for the entity gained through this experience. Hence, as is seen, that of a journeying on; rather a longing for - not new faces, neither new paces, OR places - but as a seeking for an IDEAL that is to be built by the association OF the MENTAL body with NEW surroundings. Hence to the entity, while having been taught that of hereditary, an environment makes for the development.
12. In the one before this we find in that period when there were changes then in the lands of the now known Fatherland, when there were the turmoils from the north land and from the south lands, and these became as ONE in these places. The entity was among those peoples that were overrun by the combative forces that came into that portion of the land. Then in the name Kupp. In the experience the entity lost and gained, and lost. Through the service as given to those who labored in the defense of the land, gained; losing in the holding of hate because of SEEMINGLY the acts of the
1919-2 Page 3
trust being broken. In the feelings or innate and expressed forces in the present, is seen that of the wonderment in freedom of speech, of activity, yet holding to a oneness of purpose.
13. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the transitions or changing of the peoples from the land now known as Egypt. The entity was then among those of the household of Ephraim, and returned with those peoples through the lands; gaining in the application of self, becoming - in the latter days - those peoples from whom the leader sprang as the only woman judge in Israel. The entity was then in the name Miriam. In the present, the abilities to plan, build, for those who would come later, innate and manifested in the entity's expression of that held, whether as religious tenets, moral codes, or of the aptitudes in the laws of WHATEVER land the entity may be an inhabitant.
14. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain:
15. Holding those things that make for ideals, rather than ideas - through this present period will the entity pass - there may be found much to be gained in the application of self towards the counseling of those who build for homes, and home's influence, as well as those that build for ideals. KEEP self IN accord, and as the light breaks in, as the light shineth through to the darkened places in mind or soul, these will be renewed by that ever living force of faith.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Is the six to eight week trip advisable? (A) Provided the precautions, as respecting the physical bodies' [self and husband's] conditions, are kept well in line with suggestions given. The change, in that case, would be most beneficial.
18. (Q) Was it wise to buy the property for our daughter? If so, should home be built? (A) Wise to buy, and circumstances and conditions that will gradually arise from same will make that known better and better. While there will be - during an early period - the often discussed idea as to whether well or not, BUILD the home!
19. (Q) Would it have been better to turn our own home over to her? and for us to go elsewhere to live? (A) As has been given, best to buy and to build.
20. That is all the questions.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self Two copies to Ass'n office
