1. EC: We have the body, the entity - [2108]. There have been some changes here for the entity.
2. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under the influence of Uranus, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. In the astrological effect, these vary - and yet we find they are often apparent in the action of the entity. Especially are these evidences shown in the manner the entity holds in relations to things and conditions, more than as with peoples - that is, the influences of sojourns in these spheres bring certain definite conditions in the life of an earth entity. These are changed according to the application of the experiences in the earth's plane in its relative position, or relation to those influences borne from other appearances in other planes. These accord occasionally in EVERY respect, but most severely with this entity as respecting things and conditions.
3. In the innate and manifested influences, we find:
4. One of slow speech at times, yet over burdened with IDEAS, and in a manner able and capable of expressing self. At others, FULL of action, with little understanding of the other fellow, as to the purpose of the actions of the entity. Then, becoming an enigma to others at times; again easily understood.
5. One that loves beauty in every respect - attracted to things, places, conditions, positions, rather than to peoples - yet holding, as is seen, the necessity of physical contacts for expression of that even held near and dear by the entity. These are decided conditions, and when there is the ultra activity or influences of Uranus or Uranian influences in the life, these are more pronounced. These are effective especially at various phases of the moon. Hence the entity may be called one that is moody and eccentric at such times. In the relationships with others
2108-1 Page 2
this becomes MOST apparent while in the relationships to things or places or conditions this is NOT so apparent; rather effected - not AFFECTED, but effected in its action in the life.
6. In the appearances and the influences these have on the present experience in the earth's plane:
7. In the one before this we find in the land known as Ireland. The entity among those who were of those peoples who set up the government in the southern portion of the land, during that period when the country was first being claimed by the peoples coming from other lands. The entity among those who formed a seat of government, a seat of exchange of ideas and of self-government. Not in the acts of an official did the entity gain for self, but rather in the acts of the entity respecting places, conditions, surroundings, making of them tenetable, habitable, for those who would bring about such a seat or such a place for others. In the name Braun. The entity gained and lost through this period. Gaining in the aid given to others. Losing in becoming dissatisfied and quitting the labors for self or others. In the present we find that influence which partakes of definiteness in the entity's actions; yet to others apparently no SYSTEM is kept. To the entity, it is best to keep system in mind than to make rules and regulations and then not follow same.
8. In the one before this we find in the land now known as Grecian. The entity among those who came from the isles of the sea to establish a place wherein beauty and nature might be studied or enjoyed, or where those of the theosophon were made manifest in the activities. In the name Zexnula. The entity then in that capacity of the lover of art, and in the ABILITIES of the entity many gained the understanding of that attempted to be presented in figures, in forms, in statuary, in those forces taking shape from soil, from stone, from marble, from iron, from brass, gold and precious stone; becoming efficient, the entity gained in the IDEALS presented to the peoples; losing in the manner of applying that presented in the self's OWN application. In the present there is seen that same love of art, arts as related to those of the figure, designs, that make for beauty of home, garden, room, palace, or hovel. The entity in this experience may still find in the study of the early Grecian art that which will ENABLE self to accomplish much in the present experience.
9. In the one before this we find in the land now known as the Egyptian. The entity then among those of the period when there was the invasion that changed the whole of the
2108-1 Page 3
land. The entity among those that defended same, losing life in the defense, yet many of those that afterwards took up the study, the application of those arts, those ensamples as were made in the land, studied that presented to the peoples of the period and age, and applying self, and applying the ideas as set forth by the entity, builded upon that started, that commenced in mind, that set in motion by the activities of the entity. In the name Blex. The entity gained in this experience in serving others and in aiding others to find expression of self outside of selfish interests, in giving an IDEAL to others, in assisting others to assist themselves.
10. In the one before this we find in the land now known as Mongolia. The entity then among those peoples who were in the defense of those coming in from the western land, when this civilization of the period began to wane by the overrunning of the hordes of those coming in from the western land. The entity then among those who builded as builders of homes, as builders of cities, as builders of those that decorated homes. In the name Zzno. In the present experience, the mystic forces of every pattern finds in the ENTITY'S innate force some answering to the studies of that experience.
11. In the application then of self in the present experience - those influences wherein the entity applies self to things and places is well. This the entity, though, finds, that which must be overcome is the ability to COORDINATE those forces as of places and things with individuals and individuals' worth. In that that may bring to the entity those of developments mentally are good, but those that bring both mental and material should coordinate. Applying self in these directions to make them one, the entity may accomplish much through this experience. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Datastician
