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 earth's plane, with the sojourns in the earth's plane, and that which developed or retarded the entity in that plane, that to which the entity may attain in the present earth's plane, and how.

2. In taking the position in the present earth plane, we find the entity comes under the influence of Pisces, and of Taurus. Hence, we find a condition that is almost combative in the personality of the entity, as is exhibited in the present earth's plane, coming then under the influence of Jupiter and of Mercury, and of the adverse influence in Neptune and in Venus. This, then, gives these as the influences, with and without the will's force manifested in the present life:

3. As given, one that appears often to others as not wholly meaning what is said, in action or in word; yet only not understood, for the entity, with the influence of the Jupiterian forces, is one that is staid in self, and the satisfaction of knowing that self is right, irrespective of the ideas, thoughts or opinion of others, goes in that direction often to the entity's own undoing, in the minor things in life.

4. One that has an ennobling influence in the lives of many; also bringing to others those influences that may lead to that which is unstable; for, as given, the entity is often misunderstood.

5. In the conditions, then, as bring the best influence in the life of the entity, we find that in the next two years will be the greatest influence in the life, in the present earth's plane, for with the benevolent influence of Jupiter, and the assisting influence in that of Mercury, will the entity only use care and judgment, and profit by the

experiences in the past, many of the good things in life will come to the entity in the next two years, beginning at or about May 22nd, in the present year.

6. As to the personality, then, exhibited in the present earth's plane, one that has often had, through the influence of Neptune and of Venus, those conditions in the life that have not been satisfactory; yet the entity has often gained lessons from these, that were the spiritual lesson gained from same, and applied in the present, there would bring many bettered conditions for the entity.

7. As to the likes and dislikes, we find that those conditions as relate to that of nursing, or of the keeper of those that are in that position of being helpless, lies the greatest forte of the entity in the present plane; for, while the entity often shirks those responsibilities as may be placed on same, with the assuming of same themselves, there is much good gained from same, in worldly goods, in worldly pleasures, and through the lessons in same, applied in the spiritual life, will bring much good to the entity.

8. As to the innate urges and desires as find expression occasionally, and more that are felt without finding their expression as yet, but many that may be found expressing themselves in the next two years.

9. As to the appearances:

10. We find in the one before this when the land of the present nativity was being settled, the entity then in that of the assistant to that one who pushed into the forest that lies near where the entity found birth in the present plane. In the name then of June Leder [?], and the entity gained much in that hardship as was borne during that time. The urge as is seen in the present plane being the love of the outdoors, and the dislike to see any animal, or any being, caged or held against their wishes, and the entity would even fight to loose same.

11. In the one before this we find in the Spanish court when the first settlers were beginning to take journey. Then in the name of Isabelladio, and the entity then lost some in the latter days of that experience in the earth's plane, for the aggrandizement of selfish interests brought destructive forces within the experience of the entity, and in the present urge the entity has often, and does often find that the desire of selfishness is the hardest condition to overcome in the present life; but overcome evil with good.

12. In the one before this we find in the land of the Saracens, when the Master came in that land, and the entity came under the Voice of the Master in that land. Then in the name of Idailio, and the entity GAINED in that period,

2484-1 Page 3

and the urge as is seen in the present - the innate desire towards everything pertaining to holiness to the Lord, and the acceptance of the belief in many that would serve Him, irrespective of their creed of their ism.

13. In the one before this we find in the land where the peoples were first given the laws as led to the separation of the peoples from the worships of PHYSICAL beings. The entity then in the assistant and attendant in the first temple worship, in the Egyptian period, of the establishment of that called "Religio" [?]. The entity gained, though in the separation of the kingdom at the fall of the high priest, the entity followed the priest in exile, and the urge as is seen - that innate love of finery, especially as pertains to those that do worship in high places.

14. As to that which the entity may attain to in the present sphere, as is given and seen through the urges, the lending of self to the aid of others who have no dependent ones to depend upon, and in this service the entity may gain much, would selfish desire, and the aggrandizement of earthly conditions, be made as naught in the life; for in Him is the Way, and as has been perceived by the entity, that in service to others is lending to the Lord, and as the ruler of self's own conception of the Lord, that as is seen and known by others of the entity, the manner of life, the way of treating others, is the entity's individual conception of God.

15. Then walk in that way, ever keeping THIS before self: "May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, my Lord, my strength, my redeemer."

16. We are through.
