1. EC: We have the entity known as [2133] in the present, and those relations with the universe and universal forces that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity.
2. In giving the astrological influence, or that from the astrological angle, these would have been at great variance to the experiences of the entity; while some of the general characteristics are in keeping with the astrological conditions as presented, especially when one follows those that have been tendered from the Egyptian and Chaldean findings.
3. The sojourns in the earth have affected and will yet affect this present experience to the greater extent. While the astrological sojourns have made or do make for the temperaments of the body, as has been and is seen, the will-influence in the present has been the greater ruling factor. This is ever the case, especially when there are ideals builded by an entity that are in keeping with or that ARE of the constructive or CREATIVE nature towards constructiveness.
4. The tendencies for the love of poetry, rhythm, rime, and some inclinations in this direction, might have been developed to a greater degree had not that sensitiveness (which has so oft been apparent) prevented the entity from going ahead or giving more time to such a development.
5. These are the apparent influential conditions in the experience that are drawn from the various sojourns in the earth's experience, or earth's sphere:
6. One that is sensitive to a degree at times that causes for self some unpleasantness.
7. One that has had, and does have ideals that to self and to others must be lived up to. While this has not made, nor does it make for rote or for the lack of tolerance in the experience of the entity, yet for self there must ever be a
2133-1 Page 2
rule that to disobey SELF would be to lose confidence in self's abilities in any direction that might be chosen by the entity.
8. As to the appearances, then, and their influence in the present experience:
9. In the one before this we find during that early period when there was the sojourning of peoples in that now known as the New England country. Then the entity was among those first settlers in that land, in the name then of Foxe.
10. The variations in the surroundings in this experience, as relating to the freedom of speech and activity regarding the spiritual and moral conditions of the life, brought for the entity those conditions that made for both good and bad; good through the earlier portion, bad when the body turned much of that which had been gained into self's own use, or into self's own desires.
11. In the one before this we find in that land or period when there were the rebuilding and replenishing of the walls of the Holy City, when the second groups of people returned from the captivity in the Chaldean land. The entity then, with the scribe and the followers, went about to establish the law as related to those abroad, and the replenishing or the building up of an ideal for the peoples that had been scattered abroad; hence teaching, lecturing, writing - these have been, and are in the present, many of those fortes of the entity, that enable the entity to give out much that may be and has been of a constructive nature in the experience of self and of others. In this period the entity was in the name Someil.
12. In the one then before this we find in that period when there were the distributing and the sending out of emissaries from that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there had been builded and were being disseminated much that was to be given to many other peoples. The entity then was among the emissaries sent to those peoples of the northern lands. Through the experience the entity gained and lost; gained in the attempts, and in the manner of presentation; lost when these had been turned into channels for the aggrandizing of self's own interests.
13. As will be seen from the comparison of the experiences in the various channels of endeavors in the present, then, these have followed in many of those same conditions in the experience of the entity, the period and times only being changed; the characterizations of what has taken place in the experience of the entity being almost the same.
14. As to the abilities, then, and that to which the entity may attain, and how:
2133-1 Page 3
15. In the losing of self more and more in the ideal that may be founded in Him, that is the only true way to the undoing of those things that hinder individuals from knowing that which will make them free indeed, and in ministering to those things that make for the closer walk, the closer union with those ideals and principles set in Him, may there come and may there be the greater satisfaction to the entity in this experience; and that the journeys in and through the various spheres of activity may make for the opening to self of that which will make the building in Him.
16. Ready for questions.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Dr. [539] " " File
