1. EC: (Going back over the years " - 1928 - Yes, that's when the trouble began - ")
2. Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the personality of the present entity, [2135].
3. In entering this present experience, as we find, the entity comes under the astrological influence of Mercury - afflicted with Saturn; Jupiter and Venus, also affliction in Saturn - with a benevolent influence in Uranus and Neptune. These, as we find, have made in this present experience rather unusual circumstances in the life of the entity. With the high mental development, with the aptitudes as experienced in the early portion of gathering from the associations, surroundings and studies, much of a nature that made for the entity an exceptional body among groups and individuals, in its social and its mental and material life. In the changes brought, there has come the fear of the conditions in the financial position, as well as bounty in these directions. As a promise in the associations in the filial and home life, as well as those that have brought heartaches, yearnings and longings that have reached in the PRESENT circumstances, conditions and surroundings, that as of almost unbearable conditions. As has been seen, as will be experienced by the entity through those activities of the body-mental, the soul development of the entity, these in MANY ways HAVE been, were, necessary - that there be the proper understanding of relationships and the proper VALUATION IN the life, in the soul, of those things in a material life that may be made as the criterions; for, as is experienced, as HAS been experienced in the present, those things - while they may be in a manner that bring contentment, or a satisfaction rather in the material things of life - yet through slights, slurs, misunderstandings, often fame, fortune, position, peace of mind - as it were - takes wings and there is naught but to rely on that promise

as has been made to mankind, womankind, since the foundations of the earth, "Will ye abide IN Me, I will abide in you." Take little thought of those things that are but of today. Knowest thou not that, art thou in that way of being a light to few or many in HIS way, that He will preserve thee against every opposition? against thine enemies, against the things evil spoken of, against those conditions that thou art seemingly unable to center as this or that? but KEEP the heart in accord with that thou knowest. As thou gained in the first portion of the experience, and in the developments as the budding into the womanhood, with those same thoughts, those same ideals, keep those trusts that thou knowest are true! Be not unmindful that, art thou in HIS keeping, He will not allow thee to be tempted beyond that ye are ABLE to bear. Doth He not clothe the sparrow and the lily alike? Doth He not provide for those of HIS creatures? Be thou rather in the hands of the LIVING God, than in the hands of those who speak lightly of the things thou wouldst do!
4. In the appearances, and the effects these have, have had, upon the present experience and sojourn, as related to those influences in the astrological manner, as we find:
5. In the one then before this, during those periods when there were the settlings in this present land, and in that portion of same now known as the New England land. The entity then among those who stirred up for those peoples of the time that held to tenets that were unseeming to the entity. In the name Rose Blake, the entity found that of dissention through those oppressions put upon those that would lead those of self's own choosing, FROM the ways as SEEMED to the entity right. Spite was that as manifested in the activities in the experience, and these - as we find in the present - in that SAME manner are there coming some experiences to the entity. Keep, then, thine counsel; yet wilt thou also keep in close accord, close touch with those sources of the divine from within, that the promise may be, "When ye turn again to me, though thou be wandered far away, yet will I harken unto thee."
6. In the one before then this we find in that land now known as the Roman, in those periods when there were much of the turmoils by the oppressions as were put upon sects, or sect of peoples that claimed for those of the truths as might be manifested in man. The entity then among those of the loyalty to those of the royalty, and brought self much pleasure in the period; losing in the first portion; gaining when there came to self through those visions the visioning of the material things that pass, and the inner self was

aroused in the sleeps (though drugged in many respects of the physical), and there came an awakening to the entity that brought - though those of strife, those of being forsaken, yet brought to the heart, to the soul, that of a peace and harmony AND happiness that may still be thine, even in this experience, will that trust and hope AND faith be put in its proper sphere. Trust not in the short arms of man; rather in the loving arms of Him who gave thee that of the awakening in THAT experience, as well as He who may awaken in thee in the present that of the consciousness of being in harmony with those things that make for the proper material surroundings, the proper activities in all phases of the social or marital, or those of the life of the intercourse between individuals, and these may bring that peace and joy as was experienced by the entity in the name Maridole.
7. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Persian, and during that period when there was the return of the peoples to the promise land, and with those groups as came with Ezra, the scribe, the priest. The entity then of the household of Ebzei, and the entity gained through this experience. While there were many of the hardships in the journeys to the promise land, in those activities as came to the household, to the entity - in the name Zilla - that brought MATERIAL disorder, yet the heart kept singing, as the entity - with the children of Asaph (?) - made music in the temple. In this field, either of the music or in those as pertains to cloths or dress goods, or such, may the entity find - as for COMMERCIAL life - that which will bring harmony, peace, joy, in service as may be rendered to others, as well as bringing to self MATERIAL things of life.
8. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Atlantean, and in the city or country of Poseidia. The entity, in the name Amiliie, found much of the joys of an EARTHLY nature in the ability to give counsel to those who would use the forces of the mental SIDE of life in acquiring the gratifying sources or forces, in that that has grown to be personality and MATERIALITY in this present sojourn and surrounding. The entity gained and lost. Gained in service, in FINDING others and giving aid. Lost in the aggrandizing of selfish interests.
9. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
10. As has been seen through the experiences, by first finding self, self's relations to the Creative Forces in life, that is as being a blessing to others; for we ARE as

ambassadors here for Him. Be FAITHFUL, be true, to thine self - and it CANNOT be thou wilt be false to any. No matter what others may say, keep the face to the light - and the shadows will fall behind.
11. We are through. Copy to Self " " File " " Ass'n
