1. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [2364], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the present personality and individuality of the entity.
2. In entering the present experience, we find the entity coming under the astrological influences of Pisces, and Venus, Neptune, Mercury, Jupiter. These, as we find, have an influence that may be made either for good or bad in the entity's present experience, THROUGH the application of the will as respecting the application of self in its various spheres of experience.
3. In Pisces, with the cusps near, we find one with a tendency for an unusual ability in an industrious way and manner. The ENTITY must ever be busy! Whether doing good or doing bad, it MUST keep busy! In those influences also there are those tendencies for the special interests in those conditions as relate to the spiritual life, the moral life, and the home life. Hence, as to the application of self RESPECTING those influences, will bring that as may be made for weal or woe.
4. With the ideals as come through those of Venus, a LOVABLE disposition; one easily making friends, yet - with all - a tendency that must be warred against, of the inclination of selfish interests; not that these may not be warred against, nor that self may not apply itself in a way and manner - but as to the ideal as is set before self, this will make for that as will be builded as a life that must be gratified in those things that partake of earth, or whether those that partake of the spiritual life, those that partake of the mental life. Hence the ideals that the entity sets before self, the goals the entity expects and attempts to attain, will make for those conditions as will bring that that makes for contentment and peace, or whether they bring those conditions that with use wear away. Oft has it been said,
2364-1 Page 2
and WELL were it that all consider friendships and loves that are builded on peace GROW, while those things that partake of earth become weather-worn, and with age unfit, unuseful; yet those that partake of those things that bespeak of the abilities that come with love IN its higher sense BUILD, grow more beautiful as time, age, comes on. In this, then, will the entity do well, that those things that become as the thoughtful portions of its activities, in the little things that the body busies itself with, that they partake more and more of that not ALWAYS as SACRIFICES; for, as has oft been said, no longer does the Higher Forces, or God, call for sacrifice; rather that ye love one another, even with that love as was shown in the gift of the HOLY One, that we through Him might have access TO the Father, TO the throne of mercy and of grace! In giving, living, BEING - then - that as draws nearer to those characterizations in activities in and out before men, may ALL - even as this entity - find that peace, that contentment, that comes with knowing that the whole armor is put on, having the feet shod with a joyous message, having on the helmet of light, with hands ever ready to lend a HELPING hand to EVERYONE, in EVERY manner. In THIS characterization of an ideal may the entity meet and make for those developments IN the present, that are characterized in those influences IN Neptune; not as mysteries not understood, but rather as being, living, doing, those things THROUGH those channels that BRINGS the understanding of the glorious love of Him, shed in a world of sin!
5. In the appearances, and the effect these have had, do have, WILL have upon the entity's present experience:
6. In the one then before this we find in this PRESENT land, in that period when there were the settlings in the land and the buildings about that now known as the old capital. The entity then among those who, in that early period, aided in the establishing of those of the schools in that place, being then among those that taught, Page being the name, in those that became leaders in the land, and the entity shed abroad much good in the land, and may enjoy in the present - or may find fault in the present with - that as was BUILDED by self in the lives of those the ENTITY taught. In the present we find those of that particular period have a peculiar influence, a peculiar interest. Oft the entity feels as having been a portion of same, yet from those things that came in the latter portion with rebellious forces the entity feels so far, so little, so unable to be a portion of same. This is through the fear as has been builded by associations that have brought fears in the
2364-1 Page 3
present experience of entity; yet will must be established, and the ideal set before self, that the building may be true, as it was in that experience.
7. In the one then before this we find in that period when there were turmoils and strifes in the land now known as the Spanish land, when there were the unsettlings of the land by the changes wrought in the religious cults and forces of the land. The entity then among those who suffered in the persecutions that arose, and in the name Carlois did the entity gain and lose; for with the persecutions came doubts, came fears, and the gratification rather of that that protected self in the flesh rather than that that would protect in the mental and the spiritual being did the entity cling to for the time, and this - when it had borne fruit - became cankerous to the heart of the entity. In the present, as is seen, the unstableness at times as respecting the various religious influences as arise; for doubts come, doubts go, doubts arise - yet, will there be set that as was seen in the one before this, there will be the safeness in that haven of peace as comes with the knowledge of the Faithful One.
8. In the one then before this we find in that land as was trod by the Holy One, in Mount Seir did the entity dwell, and a priestess of those that established the Mount and the worship in the temple there. That at the time being a combination of that taught in Dan and Beersheba by those that brought the dissolution of the kingdom and those that re-established in the land under the return of those of Zerubbabel, and with the establishing the entity became one of the priestesses of the temple in Mount Seir. THEN in the name Mirian. The entity through this experience gained, for being true to those tenets as were taught, as were given, using that knowledge as was gained, and the entity - when it asked of the Master (and whose daughter was healed by same), and the answer as was given, that "Doth not the servants - even the dogs - eat at the master's table?" brought that that was said of her in that period, "I have found faith not so great even in Israel." In THIS new found faith came many blessings to many peoples, and the entity gained throughout THAT experience. In the present, while doubts arise, may again the entity hold fast to that as was attained in that experience, and know the peace, the joy, the understanding, even in the home life, as in those of the secular things of life, that that knowledge, that peace, that application of that love shown, will bring the joys that are not obtained in ANY other way; for, as was given, "He that attempts to climb up some other way is a thief and a robber."

9. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Ohum land, or Peruvian land. Here we find the entity AMONG those of the Ohums [Aymaras], and the entity heading much of those portions as dealt with the developments of the cults, as were called, in establishing home, in establishing estates, in establishing the various portions of the land, in its relationships one to another. Not as a priestess, not as a ruler; RATHER as one that gathered here and there for the better relationships with those peoples in the land. From this the entity in its present experience finds an interest in many various relationships, and a leader EVER would the entity be in various groups that the entity may associate itself with; shy at times in the present, from many of the uprisings and downsittings through which the entity in its innate self has passed, yet in this field - as in the home - may the entity succeed the most, in that - once set in the ideal and in the application of same - would the entity set self to become a leader in any group, or in the home, may the best come in THIS experience. KEEP those words as of old, "Go in peace, thy desire is made known unto thee." Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Would she be happy if she married [...] [ex-husband] again? [Father of her son, [2661]] (A) Only were the IDEALS set will the body be happy. Follow those, and make or have conformity in the home life, in the secular life, in the business life, to THOSE first. Will these be made, happiness and contentment will come to the entity.
11. (Q) In the period when she was in Mount Seir, was her present mother [2112] with her then? (A) Her present mother then an aide to her in her work and teachings after the conversion, as it would be termed in the present, of each.
12. That is all the questions.
13. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [2112] " " File " " Ass'n
