1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth's plane; giving the time, the place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
3. There are those conditions in the application of will in this entity's present experience that would make that which may be given concerning same very definite. There have been two periods in the present experience where the application of self's will has brought definite changes in the surroundings and the experiences of the entity to development. There is another where the LACK of self's own application has remained as something always amiss. The hindrance, in a manner, of self's BETTER experiences. These conditions exist in and with this entity, and to same are very definite.
4. In entering the earth's plane we find the entity coming astrologically under the influence of Aries, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus. Hence in that experience when Uranus had the stronger influences in the life was that definite stand made for the study of the entity that has brought the greater development, the greater BLESSINGS of experiences to the entity.
5. In the influences these are in the life, without respect to the will, we find:
6. One high minded; yet not in that condition of position as would be termed thinking self ABOVE others; yet thinking well of self, of position, of place, of conditions, and not
2652-2 Page 2
unmindful of the influence such conditions bring in the life as related to the abilities that one attains through such position; yet not unmindful of the fact that only in making application does one gain the knowledge of experience as to making same worth while in the life toward development; for only in the earth's plane may the application be made in a manner that choice, as applied, works in the DEVELOPMENT. In the cosmic plane the forces work toward that tend, trend, or bent, as is visioned FROM the experiences, and the development comes only by time (as known to man), though there IS no time. See?
7. In the influence as seen in Mercury, one high in MENTAL developments; yet the love of little minor details in mannerisms and the acts of individuals ever remains as a pulling or tendency to bring about the greater changes in the life of the body in the present experience, as it has through many of the various experiences in the earth's plane - as we shall see.
8. In that as seen through the influence of Uranus WITH Jupiter, this has brought about those forces that are of the ennobling nature; that is, in the application of forces experienced by self (as seen in the applied forces of the entity in the life) there is brought that consciousness, or that cognizance to the entity of that as is meted, merited, gained by an entity, being that experience necessary for the entity to apply self toward bringing that necessary application in self for making self at an at-oneness with the whole consciousness of Creative Energy, see?
9. In those influences as have been brought by the application of will in the entity:
10. One that loves beauty in every form.
11. One loving the home in HOME'S form; not as a place to live in.
12. One that likes and magnifies in the life the abilities of others toward that of making life worth while for the other; giving self in service toward the applications of those conditions and those elements that make same possible in the lives of others. Hence the tendency, the element of development for the entity - and that to which the entity may attain, should have attained in its best element - in that of the lecturer and the writer, or the practical applied influence of conditions in the lives of individuals that would give the lessons toward the uplift of such individuals, groups, classes or masses.
13. In the appearances and their influence in the present experience:
14. In the one before this we find in the period when
2652-2 Page 3
Cromwell ruled in England. The entity then among those of the household of the second in power or authority under that ruler, and in the name Kharmen; and the entity gained through that experience in the application of self towards ideas and ideals that developed man's development. The entity lost through the application of those SAME elements in applying to self's own exultation in place of power. In the influence in the present experience, the study of such conditions in lives of individuals is ever the confining, confounding, contemplated, effort of the entity; that is, the WHY individuals act as individuals, or why SOME act as individuals and others as groups. This the special study of the entity.
15. In the one before this we find in that period when there was the suppression of the truths being taught during that period when the rule in now Roman country was suppressing that of the Christian rule. The entity then in the household of Gallus, and in the name Alphie. The entity lost and gained through this period. Gained in that when convinced of the truth and sincerity of those that followed in the way of the teaching, the entity gave self and all to those principles. In the urge as seen from this appearance, that of sincerity of purpose in the lives of those whom the entity calls friends, and the sincerity of self in whatever the entity puts its hand to.
16. In the one before this in that land when the divisions arose in that as Egypt. The entity then among those who were of the natives suppressed; for the king coming in command put man in power, rather than the entity that RULED through that one that was conquered by the king. The entity then in the name Asao. The entity gained and lost, and gained, through this experience; for after the overthrow and the establishment of the king, and the change that brought so much change in the country, the entity gained in that, with the acceptance of that taught by those that set up the study of the relations of man to man, and man to God, and God to man. The entity gained in the application of same through the force of the native that became the teacher. In the experience this influence brings the study of occult or mystic forces, rather that as is APPLICABLE in the everyday life.
17. In the abilities then, as given, the entity may gain more through teaching, ministering, serving those that are seeking for knowledge along the lines that the entity has applied self in the study of. Keep the paths straight. Put NONE ahead of Him that gave Himself to be an ensample; and know self to be equal to any that apply self in the service

of the Creator.
18. We are through for the present.
