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's sojourn in the earth's plane.
3. In entering we find the entity under the influences astrologically of Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Venus. As is seen in the application of these influences in the present experience, these have been physically, materially, changed as the attitude of the entity has applied self's will respecting those conditions that have had, and do have, to do with the abilities of the entity.
4. Without respecting will we find these tendencies in the entity's make-up or individuality:
5. One that is constantly drawn to that of attaining knowledge for knowledge's sake, irrespective of application of same respecting its influence on others. More as this knowledge may be applied towards self.
6. One that is especially drawn towards elements that have, and have had, to do with the developing of mechanical elements for man's use; and that of engineering as applied to power has always drawn the abilities of the entity into action.
7. Love of nobility in nobility's sense, and of power in its higher application - rather than as of bringing others to subjugation on account of power.
8. As these elements have applied in the present experience,
2711-1 Page 2
that of the portions having to do with occult forces and the influence in same have dominated the actions of the entity through the application of that attained as workable, understandable, conditions in the life.
9. In that as has brought these influence have to do with that of the Uranian influence, being those elements that have made - in the manner as viewed by others not understanding the entity's actions - that of variableness, and sometimes high, sometimes low, in material and in the affairs among men.
10. In the abilities that the entity may apply in the present experience to the understanding and building to a purport in the present experience, these may be seen more from that influence in experiences in the earth's plane.
11. In that as seen in influence in the life as a whole, tendencies toward physical defects have more to do with digestive system than to that of accident or material elements from without, and these are to be guarded against in the application of self toward those conditions that would bring distress or physical vexation in the present experience. Watch, then, the eliminations and the excretory system.
12. In the likes, dislikes, and those elements as builded by will's influence toward same, there is seen that the will has brought to bear in the life many conditions that the entity has become tolerant of, that in the early portions of life could not be tolerated at all. There are those conditions at present that bring the greater blessings in satisfied peace of mind in the ability to control desire, rather than being controlled BY desire. These have especial reference to relationships and associations of the entity.
13. In the appearances:
14. In the one before this we find the entity in that entity known as Bruce in England, when the entity gained and lost through the application of power as was attained by the entity through that period. In the urge as seen in the present, rather that to be the servant of many than served by many - and these bring much in those influences as have to do with the present experience.
15. In the one before this we find the entity in that land now known as Arabian, then in and among those that sought domination over the northern and western kingdoms, and the entity then in the name Ujhilld - and the entity gained and gained through this experience, bringing to the peoples as were brought under the subjugation that of the better application of action, thought and deed, as to the applying of same in relationships to others; and while the entity
2711-1 Page 3
lived through the period of war, no entity or body suffered under the command of the entity. In the present we find that of the objection to capital punishment; and the giving always of another chance; and the love of the mystery that is innate in one that loves life as life.
16. In the one before this we find in the land now known as Egypt. The entity then in that period when division rose between church and state, or the king and the priest. While the priest in banishment, the entity then the keeper of monies, or the customs, as gathered from the natives, and supplied both the native and the rulers - for the entity gained and lost through this sojourn. Then in the name Ulhn, and the urge as seen - that of the desire to keep peace among those that are in power, whether pertaining to political, home, or national powers.
17. In the abilities of the entity - these apply particularly to that as gained through the application of will's influence in the present experience. Well would the entity gain through that dissemination of the ability to apply the knowledge attained through self, or individual, of the forces as apply to the individual man throughout the lands; especially in the western hemisphere, would the entity make those conditions that would bring much understanding of those relations as may be attained by individuals who would attune themselves to the cosmic forces as are evident in this material plane. Keep thine self in the way of understanding, and in all thine getting get knowledge that may be applied in the life of the individual who may so disseminate same in act and in deed as to bring the better understanding of the relationship between man and man's creator, that force ever evident in those elements seen, heard, known, among those who enter in the inner shrine of self's understanding. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Would it be well for the entity to make the lecture tour under the auspices of the Association of National Investigators, Inc., of Virginia Beach, Va.? (A) When the relationships that exist between that knowledge as is disseminated by each more thoroughly understood or correlated, well. Well that the entity for self's own development and knowledge, to disseminate that gained by self in lecture or in speech in the western hemisphere.
19. We are through for the present.
