1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [1923].
2. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under those influences in Aries, and also with those influences in Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus. These will, as we will find in the developments of the entity, find some in their astrological aspects being for good and at others being for adverse influences. Especially will there be seen that, when the Moon and Jupiter are in Aries, there will be a tendency towards disorders physically with throat and head. When there is the Moon in the opposite, or in Leo AND in Aries, there will be those influences towards troubles with the digestive organs. These in opposition, but being forewarned then precautions may be taken as respecting these very conditions.
3. In the influence in Venus will make for these as tendencies in the individual - for the TENDENCIES may be altered by the application of will towards the activities of the DEVELOPING mind and body. Hence those responsible for those periods in which the will of an individual either makes for those conditions that become as tirades, or uncontrolable temper, or those influences that make for the appearances of suppressions that later must find - with the developing mind - and outlet, or an expression in SOME manner or form; but KNOWING the tendencies in a developing mind these may be used as BENEFICIAL in the developing of the body, the mind, the BEING of the entity.
4. In Venus, then, we will find that the entity will be able to be reasoned with almost from the beginning, and as the mind begins to develop there will be tendencies for great imaginative forces of unseen activities. These harbored -
1923-1 Page 2
that is, guided in a proper channel - may be made to become BLESSINGS to all who have control of, or who associate WITH the individual or entity.
5. One where there should be definite periods when those upon whom the entity is dependent for the physical and the MENTAL development, the BODY conditions should have periods when each upon whom the body is dependent should reason with, counsel with, even as respecting those visions that come from the Uranian and the Venus and Mercurian forces, as WELL as the BROADNESS in those visions from an influence in Jupiter. These, then - as seen - make for those that will later be termed occult, or those forces in the body as INTUITIVE forces; for the body physical being covered in conception with that influence of occult forces, has had the caul or veil that has indicated its setting apart by those forces as develop in NATURAL means as one that will be blessed with those abilities for intuitive mental developments. Then, never break by crossing or by making fun of the IMAGINATIONS of THIS body. Rather make for that as will give a perfect physical and mental body FOR the forces to MANIFEST through; for through the experiences in the earth's plane of the entity these are INNATE, and will be manifest to a high degree in this present experience. Beware of the mystic forces, or those of signs, for the entity. Rather let these developments be of the mental and soul forces OF the entity, than by those movements either in numbers or in symbols, or signs, that wield an influence - yet are often thrown in the discard when not wholly understood as studies or experiences progress.
6. In those personalities as will be seen in the entity:
7. One that will continue to seek a manner of IMMEDIATELY expressing self in its desires, wants, or needs.
8. On that - unless BROKEN in spirit or desire - will never be called bashful, yet - trained properly - will never be called forward, or too presuming - yet a desire of show, a desire of expression, will be the manifested traits of the entity AS it develops. These directed and guided in the proper channels, as may be seen, may be made to be beneficial in many ways.
9. Quick to grasp those things that are given, or taken time to explain to the entity.
10. Able to especially remember those things as will pertain to rhythm or rhyme.
11. Be slow in mathematical, or in those of methodical things - but those that are of rhythm or rhyme, and that may be turned into such, will the entity grasp quickly.
12. Colors and color vibration will be of particular
1923-1 Page 3
interest to the entity in its developing stage, as will be farther along. These are innate. These may be developed, or these may also be submerged.
13. One that will desire to give expression of feelings by movements of body, eyes, mouth, expressions - and may be TRAINED in these in a later period to mean much, to give expressions of those things that are innate and will become manifested as developments progress. These forces, of course, may be altered by the application or the influence of will of another upon the entity.
14. One that will see in all forces that are manifest those expressions of the religious influence, IF so directed. If turned as of natural consequence, then these to the entity will mean little - save as natural experiences.
15. In the appearances, and their effect upon the entity in the present:
16. In the one before this we find in the land of the present nativity, and about that country now known as the Bay State. The entity was then among those persecuted for the beliefs and tenets, and the visions that were held by the entity, while reaching only in the latter teen age in the experience. In the name of Barbara Crow the entity gained through the experience. Though suffering much in body, those tenets held THROUGH the experience were DEVELOPING forces for the entity. Suffering FOR those things which the entity itself could not control, and being abused in body, being abused in mental surroundings, the entity suffered - yet those tenets that may be seen in the present, guided in the PROPER direction, will become as mental and spiritual abilities and forces for good in the present experience.
17. In the one before this we find in that land known now as the French, and during periods when there were many political uprisings. The entity was then in the name Cordey, and suffered again in the PHYSICAL body, being persecuted for the beliefs and the tenets as respecting the association and relations with those of political forces, political powers, as well as those of church and state. The entity gained through the experience, yet lost in the minds of many that PERSECUTED the entity. In the present, this love of show, of dress, of body adornment, of color, of fire, of forces as pertain to the abilities and mental influences of groups and individuals, will be those forces that will be innate and manifested in the entity. As to the AMOUNT, or to how far they will go, dependent upon those early trainings IN or OUT of those innate influences.
18. In the one before this we find in that period when there
1923-1 Page 4
were those peoples in the land of promise, and when the peoples of the BELIEFS of the entity were persecuted by those in power; yet being in possession of those abilities to shut the conscious self out, allowing forces of the soul's development to manifest, even the first king of Israel came TO the entity for counsel. Then in the name Naomi. The entity gained and lost through this experience, for many of the acts were evil spoken of through the MANNER in which the entity USED same for SELF'S own interests. In the present we will find the entity will be tending to hide many of those associations, unless openness, frankness, and such, are drilled and taught TO the entity in no uncertain manner.
19. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during those experiences when the uprisings had made for dissensions. The entity was the chief of those in the temple service that made for the OFFERINGS to a portion of the peoples. The entity gained through the experience, not deserting the temple service even when broken by the deposed priest, nor altering the tenets - though suffering much in rebukes and temptations under the changes made, until the restoration of the temple service some twenty years later. The entity served well during this experience, and in the same tombs of those considered the great may the entity's tenets, the entity's gatherings of precious stones and of the cymbals for the calling of the peoples to the portion of the worship as presented by the entity, these may still be found - and they are of a PECULIAR make, being in the form of the beetle that was LATER worshiped by many for the beauty of the MUSIC that was made in the use of same. In the present we will find that those conditions as pertain to relationships of INDIVIDUALS with the entity, that the entity will be naturally or innately the leader - and unless controlled by the directions in the proper manner will tend to be overbearing from this experience. Guided properly, with those of the proper direction, may be turned into channels that may be MOST beneficial.
20. In the abilities of the entity - these may become great, dependent upon the guiding of same, especially as to the abilities to gain from UNSEEN sources those lessons, those visions, those pictures for others that may bring an understanding to many. As a MANIFESTER of such will the entity gain most, will they be guided aright - for the service of, the UPLIFTING of, those the entity contacts, rather than for the GRATIFICATION of physical forces in the body.
