1. EC: Yes, we have the entity known as [2668], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under the influences in Pisces, in Venus, in Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. In the present experience we find these influencing to the extent that in the present period, in the present year, will come those changes that will make for that to which the entity may attain, or will make for those influences as will mar the better development for the entity. Coming under the influences of Venus in the present year, especially will the love and affection make for the greater ways and manners of controlling, directing, influencing the body, than by sterner means. Being with Mercury in the ascendancy, there will be also those influences that may be had with loving reason, reasonable insurance to the varied conditions and circumstances that re and will trouble the body through this molding period; for in this molding period is there the greater necessity for the loving care and attention. While positiveness must always be in evidence, but that positiveness as comes from rather reasoning with; for the body is under the influence of Jupiter in the present period, and Jupiter - while benevolent and aiding in many ways - is in the decline during this next mine to twelve months period, and hence the positiveness in the directions as outlined - and will same be used in this manner there will be seen, when the ascendancy of this planet begins in the early portion of thirty-two ('32), that the budding forth of the abilities, the talents, the forces in life's expressions themselves for the entity, will many, many times repay for the care that may be had or given during this period. There will be the tendency during this period for dilatory activities, a tendency for neglecting those of promises, neglecting the little things that will so often tell in the development of
2668-1 Page 2
an individuality and an opening personality for an entity; yet these need, then, particularly during the period, that care and attention, that reasoning with, that loving expression as will be the more powerful in the entity's experience. Also during this period, while those forces is Uranus in the summer and the fall will be the early activity in the present year, these will make for rebellions and rebellious forces, rebellious periods for the entity. Be mindful of these, especially in August and September.
3. In those forces as we find latent and to be developed in the body, in this entity, in this experience:
4. One that, with the practicability of the use of self in body AND mind, may be made one that will be in attune with the expressions of those forces in life that may be shown in the acting, or in the stage - as termed, or the theatre life; for the entity may be trained, or with the abilities latent - as will be seen from former experiences, as will also be seen from former experiences the necessity of the loving care and attention that must attend and must be accentuated in the forces in the eleventh and twelfth year, especially - these will bring for those of progress, of abilities to move, sway, influence groups and masses, through the very activities of the body itself.
5. In those influences also we will find, one that loves the beautiful things in body and bodily adornment - yet those manners and ways in which these must be cared for in association with, and for, the mental and physical development, it will be necessary for those cares and attentions during the next two years - especially - for THIS body.
6. In the appearances, then, and the effect these have upon the present experience:
7. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the making of the homes, the lands, the places about the city of nativity. The entity was then among those that were of the fist household established there, known now as the White House; not as a servant, but rather as a companion to, a relative of (in flesh) the ruler, or the MATRON of that house. Then in the name Reona. In this experience the entity gained and lost; gained during those periods when there was care and attention given in the development of the abilities of the body; lost when these were turned into those of gratifying of fleshly desires, aggrandizement of selfish interests. In the present there will be seen the ability for the dance steps, the abilities for physical adornment, the abilities for meeting groups - yet with that shyness, as even was shown in the early portion of that
2668-1 Page 3
experience, will the entity first be seen in the present. These may be turned to the account, will those applications of REASONING with, and an ideal set for the entity's attainment. Not as an idea, but as an ideal - and let the ideal be rather those as pertain to the SPIRITUAL body, than the MATERIAL body - for "Seek first the Lord while He may be found, and when thou art old and thine days are heavy ye will not depart from that counsel; neither will there be want or need in thy doors."
8. In the one before this we find in that period known as the Roman, when there were wars and wanton attentions in the courts of the people of that land. The entity was then among those in attendance in the courts of the city during the period when Pamphylia was in power with the ruler in the land, and the entity was then an attendant with and of the household of Pletoniay. In this experience the entity gained and lost, for the entity - while in power - thought not to separate self from friends; no matter what befell them the entity remained true - yet when there were those forces that brought about consternation and trouble, the entity turned as in vengeance upon those who had misconstrued, mis-applied, the faith and the counsel as was given. In the name Plennia. In the BEAUTY of the strength in the present, in the love for the open, in the desire to be one to be noticed, arises from this experience. This well, provided same is taken with care and attention - rather than being used for unholy purposes, or with the desire of self-exaltation alone. Not only being good, but good for something; not only being good-looking but good-looking for something - and that something not the gratification SOLELY of self's own desires.
9. In the one before this we find in that period, that land, when there were the returning to the Holy City. The entity was then among those of the first peoples to return, during that period when Zerubbabel led the peoples back again. Little thought, little care, little attention was taken by those people in that land as to whether foes were without or within, but with an eye-single to return to a service of a one source, and one force, was uppermost in the minds of those of the priests that led the peoples back - not the high priest, but those of the priests' household and in those of the ones that were the enterers into the outer courts in the new established forces. The entity gained through this experience, in the name Pleneheai. In this experience the entity gained throughout, for trained in the beginning, added to by precept and example, the entity served in bringing aid, succor, counsel, understanding, to
2668-1 Page 4
those in the way - and in the re-established homes. Again we find in the PRESENT those abilities for the entity to become a natural leader in groups, and the counsel of the entity is often harkened to by those even of a greater or more advanced age; yet these must be looked after in the present, and the abilities in this direction must not be allowed to be abused, and they should not be cut off - but rather counseled with, and from this come many blessings to many peoples.
10. In the one before this we find in that land when there were those uprisings in what is now known as the Indian land, when the peoples of the hills and those of the valleys rose in rebellion one against another, and there was the attempt of the re-establishing of a cult - as it would be termed in the present. The entity was among those who suffered under the rule of those peoples from the hills, rising in rebellion often - as the peoples to whom the entity joined did in that period. In the name Zezuzi. In this experience the entity suffered physically, but gained in the material and the mental - in an expansion in the abilities of the entity; for this was the entity's first entrance into the earth's experience. In the present will be seen from this experience those fears that arise, as the developments come - and as the body reaches those periods when there are duties of various natures, then a tendency to draw back, unless the counsel and the surroundings have so fortified the entity that these may be well grounded in that continuity of life-giving forces that lead ever onward and upward in the affairs whether material, mental, or spiritual.
11. The abilities, then, as seen, lie in those abilities to become a leader - either in those of the muse, those of the poetry, those of the expressions of story or of forms that may give an insight and an understanding to many into the MYSTERIES of life. KEEP that committed UNTO thee, and in FAITH abide in Him.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What should be her life's work, and how much of an acknowledged success can she attain? (A) As has been indicated in that as outlined, that will the developments BE in that line - it should be either in that of expression, teaching, or in the theatre, or in the stage, in dancing, or in one of the fields of expression - see?
14. (Q) How can her mother help her most in her training to achieve happiness and success? (A) In that as outlined, that necessary - especially in the
2668-1 Page 5
next twelve to twenty-four months.
15. (Q) Against what must she be dissuaded, and in what encouraged? (A) Study that as has been given, for the weaknesses as well as the strengths are indicated - that self-aggrandizement or self-adornment, or the abilities to lead even those that are of an older age - or being led astray in those things as easily beset. Those that are of the SPIRITUAL forces, let THOSE abide closest!
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " File
