1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and those conditions relative to the astrological conditions and the effect as same might be had, will be had, upon the entity without reference to the will forces as may be exercised in the physical in the present plane, and with those conditions as have been experienced by the entity upon the earth plane, with those conditions as have been brought in present plane by the exercise of will. These, however, will be necessary to be kept separate, for the understanding of conditions relative to astrological effect as is exercised in the earth plane for this entity.
2. As to the time of birth, we have the completion of the present entity in the evening. This is not with reference to birth in the physical sense, for the taking of breath into the physical bodies all entities are not completed. With the mental, physical, spiritual and soul forces entities become complete. As for the effect irrespective of will force, we find these conditions. As for the zodiacal signs, comes under Aquarius, but has little to do with the present entity's effect received from astrological forces, save in the conjunction with entity's Gemini.
3. As to that plane from which the soul and spirit took its flight to the present earth plane, from that far away force as exercised in Neptune. Hence we have an entity that to self and all others, for many, many moons present sphere's conditions will be peculiar to other people, rarely ever being understood; yet one with the spiritual insight of the developing in earth plane, and one whom others would be, could be, benefited by, by being in contact with this entity.
4. One that will give much toward the developing of many in the earth's plane.
5. One whose greatest forte lies in developing others toward the spiritual forces, and those things mysterious to earth
2553-8 Page 2
plane dwellers who understand little of the spiritual forces.
6. One whose forces are exercised to such an extent that those who come in contact with this entity and trample under foot those spiritual forces as exercised do so to their own souls' detriment. Many such cases are in this body's life.
7. As to those forces in the astrological effect received for this entity: Those in Neptune, with that force of Jupiter and the Sun's rays, as the Gemini, that give of the better and ennobling forces to this entity.
8. One whose forces in the Moon and Venus are in the opposition to that of good in this entity's sojourn in this plane, and those forces are those which the entity must overcome here now, for there have in other spheres been those conditions that this entity is now meeting to overcome; giving then of the spiritual insight, as this entity has in this sphere. Forget not that the ever giving force of all truth and light comes from Him who has given, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light. No man enters in save through me." Give then of those forces, and be not overcome with the evil that ever surrounds this body in physical forces. And as to those elements that give of this world's goods, will be found in that of Jupiter's forces, as exercised in the Sun's forces in the latter part of present year, and within the next two years.
9. As to those influences in the life of the present plane's forces, as exercised in the force of Moon and Venus, we find this brings many of those troublesome forces to all conditions relating either to the physical or bodily love, and of the strange marital relations that may exist in the present plane.
10. As to those appearances that we find, the entity in the present plane would ever do much better across seas, or far, far from those of the surroundings of the birth.
11. In the plane before this, we find in that of the Court of the King of the Forum [Nero?], when those forces as were exercised in the destruction of those peoples who were persecuted for their belief in Truth and Life. In that we find the body faithful unto the end. Into the forces then that are shown in the present plane's forces and individuality is the ever inward desire to know of those spiritual workings of the soul, and the desire to seek after the Master's force and His desire.
12. In the one before this, we find in that of the country when Xerxes [Ahasuerus] over-rode the Eastern portions of now Persia. This entity then was among those destroyed in that invasion, and was of the household of the then ruling
2553-8 Page 3
monarch. In that of the household of Abner. In the forces as shown in the present personality exhibited, and the individuality forces, the ever readiness to fight for home, or for personal principles.
13. In the one before this we find was in those days when the Sons of God came together to announce the coming of man's dwelling on the earth plane. This then we find has ever been the indwelling force throughout the ages, as known from earth's plane, of the love of the Creator.
14. Then, in all of these, and in that which this entity may use these with its own will, as given by the Maker, to exercise in the earth's plane, do this: Keep the will ever in accord with that indwelling force that gathers its force from the soul and spirit of this entity, knowing that the physical will not be tempted beyond that which it is able to bear with His, the Master's, help and aid. Give then of self in the present sphere, for with this present development, when kept in that straight and narrow way, will lead on, in that yearning of soul and spirit, to His Home.
