1. EC: We have the entity here and those relations with the universe and universal forces as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
2. In entering the earth's plane we find the entity coming under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus, with adverse influences in Mars and Neptune. Hence BEWARE of long voyages on water when the seasons are in the changes, or in that near the ides.
3. In the influences as are latent and as exhibited:
4. We find here one with an at-variance to that as has been given in the astrological or astronomical aspects of the life, for the experiences and the place of birth, or entrance into the present experience, belie those set conditions - for much has been builded through the experiences in the earth's plane, and oft through this experience will the entity contact much that may be given here as respecting those experiences that will bring almost the physical consciousness of many of those contacts. Hence we will see that in which will's influence has builded much in the earth's plane for this entity.
5. Coming under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, we find the highest ennobling influences in the life, and this also meted with mercy and justice. Hence the study and the mental process of the entity's experiences in the present plane will ever be weighted with those of love rather than censure, of justice rather than judgment, of mercy rather than of the ones that would demand an eye for an eye or tooth for tooth.
6. One, then, studious in nature.
7. One that loves the joke, and sees the ridiculous and yet much of the sublime in MANY of those conditions that are easily passed by others.
8. One that is considerate of others' feelings, yet very decided in his own idea and his own understanding.

9. One that has many of those that are called friends, and makes those friendships few for self.
10. One that finds much in life as contradictory to many of the tenets as have been told to same as precepts, yet finds much IN precepts to guide and teach in the way of knowledge and of the manner to meet the various conditions as they arise in the life.
11. One that will go far in the present experience towards development, will that entity apply will's force in the correct direction.
12. One that will do well to have ALWAYS the second rather than first name used as the name, for the [R...] means much that [L...] can NEVER mean to the entity in the developments towards understanding.
13. One that is ever in the way of understanding through the tenets of love and of mercy, yet can never gain the same understanding through those of the way that would bring punishment, either penal or corporal.
14. One that through the experiences has gained much that are as urges, as is seen in the seeking of knowledge through experience in every field.
15. One that will find that by comparison will the entity be able to measure up to the standard as should be and is set before self.
16. IN THE APPEARANCES, WE FIND:
17. In the one before this in that land now known as New England. The entity then the minister, the teacher, to the peoples about what is now known as Providence, Rhode Island, and this country ever holds for the entity a fear, a dread, yet an innate desire to see and explore, or view many of the places thereabout. Then in the name Riland. In that experience the entity gained much through the service rendered to the peoples as natives, and the peoples as journeymen, and the entity gave in the understanding toward the relations of man to man, and man to the Maker. In that as may be applied in the present experience will be that as teacher, or minister, to the needs of the spiritual and mental man.
18. In the one before this we find in that period when there were wars in the Holy Land. The entity then among those of the Crusade from the English land, and in the name Egbert. The entity gained and lost through this experience, being made or urged through undue egress to the act of being in the Crusade, for the real desire was to remain at home on account of love in the life - yet this very same nature WITH the experiences brought much to the development in the land to which the entity went. In the urge as is seen from this
2480-1 Page 3
experience is the study of sacred and profane history of all the wars as pertain to religion, and again the love of reading of the love affairs of peoples in all positions or stations.
19. In the one before this we find in the land when the Master came in the land of Galilee. The entity then among those fishermen who heard, saw, and experienced much of the teaching and the ministering by the Master - for the entity, while not wholly accepting, never rejecting those teachings. Rather the fear of the position held preventing same from being in the life as the crowning experience in the earth's plane. Then in the name Zioul, and the entity in this experience LOST rather than gained, for without applying those tenets, those lessons, with the experience, the entity lost in that experience. The urge, rather that of the innate desire to know what those teachings were by the Sea of Galilee, for this land, this teaching, this experience, holds the highest of the urges for the entity. Cleave - cleave to same!
20. In the one before this we find in that land when divisions arose in what was known as the division in church and state in the Egyptian rule, when the banishment came of the priest. The entity then in that capacity of the keeper of the priest in banishment, for the entity then gained much through the experiences of that existence or that experience. In this period the entity acted in that capacity of the peacemaker between the divisions as arose in that land, keeping and ministering to the priest, yet never forsaking the counsel or the guidance of the ruler or of those that were of the counsel or the teachers of the day. The entity then among those who were in after periods worshiped, as is seen in many of those monuments builded in that period, and in one of the pyramids yet uncovered much may be seen to the application of those tenets the entity in that period set forth. In the name Aiozelt, for these will be found in this of the king's pyramid. In the urge is seen that love of the oriental, yet rather the occidental with the oriental applications.
21. In the abilities then of the entity lies that as the teacher, the minister, or the historian, for the entity needs first gain that full insight of that lost in the contact with the Master, and in this gain that understanding that the life lived must be the reflection of the entity's concept of the Creative Energy that the inner self must worship.
22. Then keep that of the Nazarene and Galilean history before self, and bring to others that knowledge that in the
2480-1 Page 4
giving of self to service is the highest service to the Creative Energy, or God - for in Him is the light, and the light is the light of the world; for, as He became the Son through the manner of the experience in the earth's plane, so may we, as sons, become brothers and heirs to that kingdom.
23. We are through.
