1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, which are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [2669].
2. We find there is a distinct division in the environs and the development of the entity. These are of the three-fold nature. One - the hopes, the aspirations, the intents, aims, purposes. Then that period of contemplative measures, with a realization, changes, and forebearance, long suffering, patience, endurance, meekness, humbleness. Then the change that will bring again that hopefulness, prayerfulness, mindfulness, painstaking, patience, and brotherly love.
3. In the astrological aspects from the entering in, we find these as indications - or these three conditions as indications in the entity's experience. These have been tempered oft by the application of self as respecting these varied circumstances, or opportunities - better may they be termed.
4. In entering, we find the influence in Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and in Saturn. In these variations, we find that influence in Jupiter, with Saturn and Venus, brought - during the early portion of the entity's experience - those aspirations, and hopefulness, idealistic, and a mindfulness - or UNMINDFULNESS - of consequences, so circumstances brought for self that satisfying in the material, the mental, and - secondarily - those in a social and welfare position. In the change, during the periods when the changes came about, there were those conditions that brought a hope, help, and independence in many secular manners; aspirations fulfilled, to a measure, yet an unsatisfied longing for something that was awakened in love which brought discouragement, discontent; not covetous in its nature, rather a longing for an understanding.
5. In the next change that will be seen, in the early portion of the present year - with the junction of Saturn,
2669-1 Page 2
Venus and Jupiter in their phases as respecting the life of the entity from the aspect of the astrological - there will come those greater influences in Jupiter, Mercury, tempered with Neptune. Let not thine anger be kindled against any, nor thine well-doing be evil spoken of.
6. In the conditions that are BUILDED as personalities, these - as we see - come through in the changes and the manners that have become a portion of the experience of the entity. Use in a manner that is in keeping with, "though He destroy me, yet will I love Him; for in whom else may I believe, and whose arm is of sufficient length, or strength, to aid in the time of trouble? Though I be tempted beyond that I am able to bear, yet in the shadow of the rock as in a weary land will I find the waters of life, that quench that burning desire to know His bounties, HIS grace. With the understanding heart may I approach that throne that will make for me, for mine, that conception of the truth that may be manifested in mine own experience, mine own life".
7. In such a manner may the entity make and use those conditions that have arisen, do arise, as but stepping stones upon the ashes of time; which build for each entity that as makes self one with that universal force which is of the CREATIVE Energies, that build and maketh not afraid - for "He that is on the Lord's side, WHO may be against him? Though He slay me, yet will I love Him."
8. In the appearances, and that which has been builded in the present experience from them:
9. In the one before this we find in that land known as the vine land, or Vinland, or in the present country during those early periods and trying times of those who established their land. The entity was among those who partook of the findings of the land, suffering in many ways physically, yet in the surroundings causing many to be dependent upon the entity for the relationships established with those about the entity, and those that came and went in the foreign shores. Not as a leader in name; rather as that one upon whom most depended in truth. In the present experience the entity is finding many of those conditions that were brought upon others now being experienced by self, in a reversal of order, as it were. In the application of the experience, then, may the entity BUILD that which may make for a development, that the soul itself may know there is that law of continuity of forces that are manifested from the first cause that must be met in the daily experience of all. In the name Matilda Daler.
10. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Roman, during those periods when oppressions were made upon
2669-1 Page 3
those who followed after the new teachings, when oppressions were being made as of sports. The entity was among those who, not giving word of mouth - yet in act - oft lent the voice in the persecutions of those who held to a truth that to them was life itself. This SORELY tempted the entity during this whole experience, making for an unsatisfied and ungratiated experience throughout the entity's whole tenure during that experience. In the name Thorleau. In this experience the entity finds that to become in a manner wherein each and everyone may think most for themselves, having their own life, their own experiences, their own up's and down's to meet, these may be done with impunity will each do that which is accorded them, not encroaching upon the lives of others; yet these very conditions often trouble the entity, and make for misunderstandings, and oft does the entity find in self that said, "Oh that I knew again the flesh pots of Egypt". In those conditions that arise in the entity's experience, then, use those as the stepping stones for betterment of the soul's experience, forgetting those things that are behind, pressing on to the mark of the high calling that is set in Him, and in THEE through Him wilt thou remain faithful unto those - as duties first, as loving kindness, and as thought of those that may know Him.
11. In the one before this we find in a strange land, now unknown in the world's experience; that lying westward from what is NOW southern California and Mexico. In this land the entity ruled as with an iron hand, for - from and through this land - many were the escapes from the various upheavals that occurred in those olden periods when there were the divisions of waters and the divisions of land, and dry land appeared. In this experience the entity lost, and in the aggrandizing of selfish interests. In the name Olu.
12. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain and how:
13. In the various experiences in the present, correlated with that gained and lost throughout the experiences in the continuity of the forces of life itself in the entity, we will find that with the application of that in hand - knowing that, as that KNOWN is used toward a mark of the high calling - more will be given. Think not that the Giver of all good and perfect gifts counts as men count. Rather ever willing is the spirit, the FLESH is weak. TODAY, hear that call in Him.
14. In the relationships with individuals, these may be made best through those conditions that have to do with the building of those coverings for individuals, or dress, or donning - as PREENING for the forces in life, or in nature
2669-1 Page 4
itself, as pertain to those of the body or bodily adornments.
15. Then, in these channels, or THROUGH these channels - whether as related to individuals, groups, in the sale or in the preparation of such adornments - may the entity come to know individuals, and to know groups, whom - contacting - may help either in their struggles for a better understanding. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What can entity now best do to help her husband [4407]? (A) Pray that each may, with an understanding heart, know that all is well with him that wholly puts his trust in Him - acting in EVERY manner as KNOWING this. We are through. Copy to Self Two copies to Ass'n office
