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.
2. In entering astrologically, we find the entity coming under those influences in Pisces, as in the mental, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune. In these relations we find many forces as are latent and only beginning their manifestations in this experience, for in the developing forces of the mental body - and in the changes as are apparent in thought from environmental forces - these make their impression as reactions upon the soul development of the entity.
3. These, then, we find latent and manifested in the present entity TO the present experience:
4. In Mercury, those mental abilities to classify, to gather in an UNUSUAL manner those things as pertain to a MENTAL body development.
5. In Pisces' influence we find those of the mystic forces have their influence and INTEREST for the body, in that MANNER as is influenced through those forces in Venus - as make for a manifestation of same as love's influence. Hence the religious turn of thought for the entity, but far from being dogmatic in its attitude or application; rather in that of the broader sense.
6. In those influences in Jupiter and in Neptune, we find the broadness of vision, the broadness of influence the entity may have UPON those WHOM the entity contacts. While in the present experience, as in the last two years, we have found that these are rather REMOTE in the entity's experience; coming rather as hopes or promises from individuals, from groups, from those forces as the entity hopes to gain in the MENTAL body as to apply in relationships with others; yet to the ENTITY these may become realities as the entity, through that influence in the Pisces - which makes for occult; that in the Neptune of
2137-1 Page 2
the mysterious or mystery forces of life; tending for those of ritualistic form or manner, yet to the entity these are held rather as a NECESSARY application in the individual LIFE as to reach certain conclusions or positions, or aims; yet these should NOT be allowed to become as principles; rather as those forces that are as basic FOR principles to be established FROM, by the ENTITY'S own experience. WELL for the ENTITY to gain that difference in those making as personalities from the astrological and from the relationships as exist in the present experience.
7. In those in Jupiter and Venus, making for a pleasing personality; one making friendships not TOO easily, nor too hard - but rather one that is to be known to be liked, or to be in the position as of thorough companion; companionate in the mien and in the attitude, yet not too close as a pal or as an associate without the due consideration from all angles of the various experiences.
8. In the aptitudes, those forces as make for a DEVELOPMENT will be in the application of those laws as govern individual activities towards relationships in life; be the work for the entity, in the development for self and in the relationships to others, as will be seen from the EXPERIENCES in the earth's plane.
9. In the appearances and their influences, we find as these:
10. In the one before this in that land of nativity, and during that period when there was the establishing of the frontiers in the land. The entity then was among those who were the defenders in the Fort then called Dearborn. The entity was in second command during the period of siege, and gained in the experience - and through the service as was given to those who suffered in body and in want during that period. In the name James Clarke, and there may STILL be seen among those records of that experience those ACTIVITIES OF the entity. In the effect this has upon the present entity, that of the outdoor, that of the love of a leadership in whatever undertaking the entity attempts, and is usually found AMONG those leaders in whatever group, whatever undertaking.
11. In the one before this we find in that land then known as the City in the Hills, where there were those of the new peoples, or new truths being given. Then, when there was the persecution of those as had accepted, or did accept or teach this new teaching. The entity was then among those who heard, who accepted, who became among those followers, later among those PERSECUTED for the undertakings in that experience. In this the entity gained. In the first
2137-1 Page 3
PORTION of the experience the entity lost, but with the new understanding, the new application of that as had been gained, the entity builded in the application of self for those whom the entity would serve. Hence, ever has been in the present that peculiar influence of the stories of that teacher in that period, and the exploits and the understandings of those who became the followers of the Master has been of peculiar interest to the entity; and in the keeping close to that gained in that experience may the entity gain in the most in this, or any other experience; for He had, He has, He keeps the light that may MAKE the activities of those in earth's experience at a oneness with those creative forces, as brings life, light, immortality, to the souls of men. In the name then, that may be seen - as the one that returned the cloak to the Master.
12. In the one before this in that land now called Egypt, and during that period when there were divisions in the land, and with the rebellions arising the entity then joined with those that rebelled, hoping to establish with and for the natives that of THEIR OWN concept of that as had been brought by the priest that was exiled. The entity lost through a portion of this experience, and not until there was the re-establishing of the priest in the land did the entity seek to again come under the influence, or to lend a service to others. THEN the entity became among those that were of the healing arts as applied through those things given in those teachings in the period, both as pertained to the mechanical forces as were applied and to the herbs as gathered in that period. Hence in the present that as pertains to that which may be applied in the MENTAL man for the healing of the physical AND mental is of particular interest, or PECULIAR interest to the entity, especially that that has to do with all the arts as of the various fields of expression. THESE influence the entity in the present experience, and in that may the entity apply SELF for the material, or for those that will bring the greater contentment in the present experience will be as a teacher, or an aide TO a teacher that applies to the MENTAL body and the MATERIAL body. As for the places where these may be best applied, there has been offered the entity an opportunity to gain an understanding in the MATERIAL things in life. These will require a journey to the western portion of the country - California - and THERE the entity may make, with that surroundings, that environ, that force as INNATE within SELF, that success of materials; but let not that be the first and foremost in the mental body. Rather live that the soul may grow, and the successes that
2137-1 Page 4
come THROUGH MATERIAL forces will be the outcome of same; remembering that as in the return of the cloak taken from the Master, when under the influence of the teacher Paul, the entity gained that insight that that sowed MUST bring the kind of harvest that the cultivation brings of the seed sown; for we cultivate by nature those deeds, those seeds of life, as we sow them. What WILL the harvest be? for as ye sow, as ye cultivate that sown, as ye apply in the mental body, so MUST that seed be that the entity presents to ITS Maker. Keep thine body, thine mind, pure, that the soul may expand into the knowledge and understanding of ITS Maker; for GOD gives the increase.
