1. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [2502] and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In entering, astrologically - we find that, from the purely astrological viewpoint, these would be as inclinations, and not as there has been, or is, wholly manifested in the present experience of the entity - and the astrological would be merely as inclinations.
3. The ruling forces, then, in the entity's present experience, irrespective of will's influence, being those of Neptune and Uranus, with Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter. These, then, as we find, make - as it were - without the influence of will - one of exceptional abilities, yet often misunderstood, and termed or classed rather as a visionary individual, and not concrete or definite in the activities; for one that is often termed as one who lives in the clouds, or in the mental forces of an individual, without the particular reference to the individuality of others. Showing a personality, then, that becomes misconstrued, not understood.
4. In the influences as seen, there is also seen that of a tendency of the good business body, of the well understanding of those conditions as have to do with the economic relationships. This, in itself, in the minds of individuals, often brings for the body confusing conditions, even as to that as is felt and experienced by the entity, not being able to be decisive, as to whether the material side MUST be expressed as the desire of those seeking to gain through the entity those of informations, or whether the wholly portion of the mental should give the expression. Hence the conditions that often have racked, and do worry the individual and the entity.
5. One that is at times easily worried at material things.
2502-1 Page 2
One that at times worries as respecting the application others make of their abilities. In the matter of worry, this - in its last analyses - is that of fear. Fear is an enemy to the mental development of an entity, changing or wavering the abilities of an entity in many directions.
6. One that is a good home maker.
7. One that is of the BUILDING nature as respecting material things, home economic, political - and would have made a good leader in the political field, had or would the entity apply self in that direction; controlling often, to its OWN detriment, through indecision, or fear of not keeping the proper balance or relationships between that which is of the mental and of the spiritual and of the material.
8. In the relationships, the entity finds those conditions often that appear to be contrariwise to that of the desires in self. Long and often has the entity sought for the key to what those presentations are, as are felt innate - and the expressions as are seen from the outside, and how they may be correlated. These often take on those positions where they become as torments, in a manner, to the entity, and there will be seen - from the experiences - WHY, and the application of the will may be the only answer to those questions as often beset the entity; for each and every one, every entity, every individual, every soul - class it or term it as one may, they MEAN the same thing, are to others a difference or a differentiation only according to that classification made within their inner selves - must be able to SATISFY or CONTENT, at least, self in its ideal; for where the IDEAL is constantly changed - true, that where the treasure is there is the heart, and the working principle of an individual or entity. Find that, that is the answer ever for self, as to AN ideal to be worked toward, to be used at all times, to be leaned upon in adversity and in criticism, in successes, in failures, in pleasures, in hardships, in adversity and in those conditions that are as entanglements of the mental or physical being. There must be ever the ONE answer, that there IS the relation between the Maker and that made. There IS the care OF the Maker for that created. There is the duty of the created TO the Creator. There IS the love for the Creator of that created. There is that of the honor due the Creator BY that created. The will of the one must become the will of the other, and IN that may be found the answer to ALL questions as disturb; for doth not the Father take care of all? Then why WORRY? Why be afraid? For "He that is on the Lord's side, WHO may be against them?" Being one that trusteth, know in whom thou hast believed, and know that He is able to keep that

committed unto Him against ANY day, ANY time, ANY circumstance, ANY condition.
9. In the appearances and their innate expressions seen in the present experience:
10. In the one before this we find among those peoples who first settled in the land then called Vineland, and now the coast now known as Connecticut. The entity then among the first as were born of those peoples settling there; came to an EARLY demise through the hardships suffered, yet GAINED in that experience, and in the name Olaief. In that experienced in the present, the ABILITIES to gain access to the inner conscience of conditions, places, times, and things. These may be applied for weal or for woe, and blessed IS he who does NOT use same for own gratification, nor for the furthering of material or carnal desire. Cursed be they that use same to that which causes contempt in self, or for DOUBT to arise. In the CLOSENESS of the entity during the period to nature, and to nature's children, and to the hardships of an earth's experience; not in suffering so much of purely physical, as of a hunger and a thirst for the MENTAL and SPIRITUAL side of earthly experience. In the present, DOUBTS arise in the present. There comes many CROWDING in for expression. Be mindful that they be not earthbound; for in Him only is the light, and he that climbeth up some other way is a robber, and would lead men astray, binding women in places that they may not see.
11. In the one before this we find in that land known now as the Roman. The entity then among those of the royalty, of that period, and the period during that when the second Caesars ruled in that land. The entity then lost through oppression of those that bowed not down to the POWER as was manifest in the spoken word of the entity. Then in the name Opphe. In the present, the fear - the love of ease, the seeking for repose, the seeking for that that may be the easiest way is INNATE. Oft does the entity find these conflicts, and these conflicting with that gained in the LATTER experience. Hence in the present, conflict.
12. In the one before this we find in that land known now as the Egyptian, and during that period when there were divisions in the land. The entity rose to importance, or power, during the exile of the priest that caused the disturbance; beginning the new cult, that known later as those of the Faithful, and LOSING in the oppressions made on same with the establishing again of the priest and of the contemplation of the building of those truths as CORRELATED between the native teacher and the king that was pitted against him; gaining in the latter portion of the experience

when released from that banishment in the upper lands, yet the entity found fault and CONDEMNED many through that experience. In the name Tukelea. In the present there is seen often that those tenets of many peoples are DESIRED, or DESIRES better, of the entity - yet the ABILITIES to tie self to any ONE often brings consternation in the entity's experience.
13. In the one before this we find in that land now called Mongolia, in that now known as the Gobi Desert land, then the flourishing portion of that land. The entity again in power, and in the beauty of the land, of the peoples, of the lessons mentally and physically taught - the entity acute to the conditions, brought for self and for many those things that aided in the DEVELOPMENTS of that land; losing only against those hordes of the larger or animal nature that came in from the icy lands from above, pitting self's own mental forces against those of nature, conflicts arose, and the entity became a doubter of the ability of man to meet or to make self one with the forces as seemed eternal. In the name Auci. In the present, ALL force is a MARVEL to the entity. In its application arises those conditions that often confront.
14. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it MAY attain:
15. As is seen from that as may be summed from the various experiences in the earth's plane, one ESPECIALLY GIFTED in many directions - but one that must first find self and self's desire as to its relation to the Creative energy, and to that which it, the entity, may make MANIFEST as ITS share of SERVICE to its fellow man. MAKE, always, this: That EACH ENTITY, each individual, MUST find its IDEAL. Then give OUT as ye receive; for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Would it be best to sell my property in ..., Michigan, and locate elsewhere? If so, where would it be best to go and what career would be best for the entity to enter in order to live a contented and peaceful life? (A) For the material conditions, would not be best to sell at the present. In the latter portion of present year (October), or in the Spring (May) of the following year, the valuations of properties will be better during those periods than at present. Would the body change its surroundings to the southeast, or to the far west, would bring those surroundings - WOULD the body find self in the MANNER as has been given. THAT, as WE find, the OUTLET for self-expression, and of the most aid one may make and be, and know - in whatsoever position thyself is found, BE
