1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are exhibited and latent in the present entity, [2659].
2. In entering, we find the entity coming under the influences of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus. In the astrological aspects, many influences in such have been altered in the application of will as respecting earth's experience in its various elements. In the effects as are latent and exhibited in the present experience, we find one mentally efficient in the abilities as to whether those of ennobling influences or intrigues in any element having to do with the mental gymnastics of influences as respecting same; yet the ennobling influences in Jupiter and Mercury, with Venus, often tempered with those influences, bring those elements in the experience that are of the mystery, the mysterious, the unseen - yet those that must to the entity become reasonable with the activities of a mental force built within earth's environ. Not, then, a material-minded - yet a mental reasonable individual, a mental-reasoning body, a mental applicable influence in the activities of the body, whether pertaining to those conditions as have to do with the material affairs or material conditions IN the affairs of self or others.
3. The entity, then, one easy to become excited - yet in self may be kept as in tow with the effects of that as is reasonable concerning same.
4. One that is easily excited to speak concerning that which is mentally or physically felt; yet capable and able to temper same with judgement - unless under the influences of those forces as pertain to occult, when - without reason - INNATELY the entity able to give much that may be termed by some as uncanny; yet these elements will in themselves prove
2659-1 Page 2
to the entity, and to those that would study same, the activities of a MENTAL influence well balanced by those universal forces that have to do with the experiences of the individual entity, that ranges through the whole of an experience of an entity; that is, in these influences that entity often able to give, through the innate self, that of the influence in the life of others as MAY be exercised by the MENTAL ability of another expressed in words. In this respect may the entity gain the most in this present experience, and these - as influences - have had their periods of development in the present experience. As will be seen, with the entrance into this present experience, that Uranus was at the square of Mercury and Venus in the periods in 15 - 1915, October to December. These periods exceptional in the life of this entity, as they were again in that period from January 22nd to April 13th, in the year 1903. Again those experiences come to the entity in a different aspect, as is seen with the influences IN these - the entity as that of the wanderer, the wandering mind, the tendency to be a rover, the tendency to be one changing in mental and physical and material changes for the entity, as applied as a whole.
5. In the appearances and the effect these have in the present experience:
6. In the one before this we find the entity among those who went from the land now known as Pennsylvania to that post or place known as Dearborn. The entity then in charge of the peoples who built and DEFENDED that outpost, and in the name McDougill. In this place the entity gained through the better portion of sojourn, for the entity became the aid to many that sought refuge here; not only in the philosophies, but the tenets of the life in material, physical, and moral manner. The entity never a MORALIST, in the sense of orthodox morality, but rather in that as pertains to that as has the lasting effect upon the individuality of an entity. In the present the entity finds that those elements that have to do with defense, whether in court, in place, in palace, in hovel, that that builded as the principle in individual lives is the defense against any attack from without or from within.
7. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the building of the new temples in the land now known as Rome. The entity then among those of the household of the ruler, and was the cupbearer and the waiter upon that ruler that brought such destruction to those that followed in the teachings of the associates of the Nazarene. The entity then in the name Aurilga. The entity lost and gained
2659-1 Page 3
through this experience. Gaining in the tenets as were taken by the entity in the latter days. Losing in the manner in which being raised to power brought consternation to the entity, for in the way of being to those that would err, was that of attempting to give the strength that was ONLY assumed by the entity. In the present we find the entity one slow to anger, often holding grudges - until there is the period of DEEPER reflection on same, and then deriding those that would require of another "an eye for an eye, or tooth for tooth", but rather in the tenets as was gained THROUGH that experience, that the kind act, the gentle word, heaps coals upon the heads of those that would offend.
8. In the one before this we find in that land known now as Egypt. The entity then among the priests who offered, in the temple builded in that period - known then as the sacrificial priest, or the one who brought the offerings to the altar. Then entity gained through this period, for with division the entity sided not, nor with those that caused trouble did the entity agree, nor with those causing the dissensions did the entity differ. NOT as one indifferent, but as one with a purpose and a service to perform to all those who sought counsel during that troubled period. In the changes as came about, the entity raised rather to power, by both the incoming and the ruling forces of the period, becoming then the assistant to the physicians of the day, and giving much in the counsel to those that aided in the physical relief given many. The entity then in the name Ulda. In the present, that respect, that ability to know the anatomical forces, whether man or beast, INNATE in the entity's self; for from this period much of this reflected in the present experience.
9. In the one before this we find in the land of the Poseidans. The entity then in power, in glory of the peoples of the period, for the entity aided in that of giving to the peoples the use of the mechanical forces in universal energy. LOSING through this experience in the aggrandizing of selfish motives, yet in the present much of this may YET be applied in the material sense, under the different environmental forces of mental application for the benefit of mankind. Then in the name Eoe. In the application, this would apply to the mechanics - especially of electronic energy as related to those forces known in the entity's self respecting then body of man and the mechanics of same.
10. In the abilities of the entity, and that to which it may attain in the present:
11. As is seen, these have to do most with the mental, the
2659-1 Page 4
occult, and the mechanical forces in the universe as applied to universal energy as related to man. These, the study of same, the application of same in material manner, in the physical forces, in the mental forces of man, may the entity develop self as to its OWN force, for in this the entity may aid others. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) The entity desires to know the reason for the continuous urge throughout the present life, drawing him to Norfolk? (A) In this urge is seen that of those forces that the entity was associated with, that developed in the last experience in the earth's plane, and those drawing same brought to the entity the opportunity to carry out those two special influences; that of mechanical, electro-magnetic forces in the human element or human body as applied to the forces in the universal energy. THESE the entity may apply better in the surroundings of that influence than in another.
13. (Q) The entity being in full sympathy with the methods employed at the Cayce Hospital, desires to know wherein, if so, he might best fit into the further promotion of the indwelling spiritual idea expressed in the material world as to make manifest the love of God. (A) In that manner as given may the entity lend the most of self in the aid of others, that in that energy as may be brought to bear from the universal forces to the healing in physical ills may the entity aid that being attempted there. For in that period when the entity was raised in power, being the assistant to the physicians in the period when the same work was being attempted. Thus may the entity aid again in that direction.
14. (Q) Was the entity in the Egyptian period the father of the daughter of that one [538] taken by the priest [294]? (A) Then entity the father of the daughter taken by the priest - physically.
