1. EC: We have the entity and those relations between the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present experience.
2. In entering, we find the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Saturn. In these relationships, we find much has been changed and altered as respecting that of the purely astrological - as is termed in the present experience; yet much of these conditions have to do with the entity and the entity's application of self in the present experience.
3. One, under the influence of these, we find as high minded; yet not little in high mindedness, but rather mindful of those little things that make for the better conditions in one's experience.
4. One ennobling in the radiation of self's experience.
5. One very capable of being made very mad. This ability to control self has been developed much in the present experience.
6. One that finds that at times it is easily flared up, or feelings are hurt, or there are slights that so injure that the feelings flare up - but one without a temper is not very much good, and one that cannot control it is very much worse.
7. One, we find, that in Venus finds that in love much may be accomplished, and THIS the developing influence in the life, for in all the experiences - as we find - these have come, or will come to a culmination in this present experience, and the entity finds self capable - through the love as may be manifested in an individual life - to express self, even through the occult - as is termed - to know the self-consciousness of the presence of divine aid and help in this present experience. Seek ye to know that.
8. One, we find, that has innately much as finds expression
2713-5 Page 2
in things mechanical, or mechanical terms are very interesting to the body, or entity - even the intrinsic operations of, whether it be a watch, or a steam engine, has peculiar fascinations for the entity.
9. One that loves music and expressions in others, yet only in harmony in self as a response, and music or beauty - or any form of art may be very rasping to this entity, to a degree where error as found in ANY manner is so abhorrent as to operate almost as a file along the spine of the body, so that these become abhorrent to the entity. In the expressions of self in this direction, only harmonious influences come to that that gives either quiet or control of self, or contentment in self. Well has the entity learned, be CONTENT in whatever station or position - but not satisfied. This a GLORY in ANYONE'S experience. Contentment does not mean stop. Satisfy means that there has already set in something that is not active - but to the entity, to the body, in THIS experience, there will be the continuation of learning, as has been seen in Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, even in Saturn, and ACCENTUATED in Uranus; for in Uranus we find the body feels very good or very bad. Scarcely can the body experience a middle ground. The influences to the entity, then, are those that are of the March birth in the opposite sex, and those of January and December in the same sex. These have the greater influence in the life of the entity, for we find both Jupiter and Uranus square with Venus MOST periods through March or October, and with those of MERCURY in December and January.
10. In the appearances and the influences these have in the present experience:
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as France, and during the period of the exile of the ruler, or Charles the second. The entity then among those who sheltered and aided this entity, and of the household of Caus [?] [Caius?], in the name Celia. The entity gained and lost through this experience, gaining in the service rendered - not only to one of high estate, but of the rabble and of the middle man or peoples. The entity then one of high estate in that period, and of the household of Caus [?] who ruled the streets, or was the burgher master of that portion of the city in which that ruler lived; and many in this present experience will be the friends, and foes, of this entity. These may be known by those expressions of the love of that particular period. From this experience the entity finds an awe at people in power or position, yet rather the feeling of pity for them that err who are in power, feeling rather that being raised to the high estate
2713-5 Page 3
through the earning of same the mis-application must bring turmoil and consternation, not only to the individual as physical, but as to the inner being; for things spiritual to this entity finds close expression in the inner life.
12. In the period before this we find in that land where the Bedouins came in as the destructive forces to those in the schools. The entity then among those of that school, and destroyed by those that overran this land. The entity gained through this portion of its experience, but that of madness - or of temper - rises most from THIS experience. Then in the name Fienuea. The entity finds that from this experience of love of mystery, of the unseen, of the knowing of things pertaining to others, or of secret missions. This ONE woman who can keep a secret!
13. In the one before this we find in that period when the division arose in the land known as Egypt. The entity then the assistance to the priest that was banished, in that the entity was then the MOTHER of the priest, and aided in the setting of the priest in the position to gain in power and position; being in years when the entity came into the land, yet many days were given in sorrow for the error and in supplication for the return and the building again of that as had been set by the alien, the native, and the friends of that period. Then in the name Arda. The entity gained through this experience, gaining in the service as given, and much may be expected of those associations and connections with those that had to do with that period in the present, and the contacts must be as those that would join together in the service for the one purpose, in establishing that as was set aforetime.
14. In the one before this we find in Poseida. The entity then in that of the MALE, and gained in power through the ability to give to the peoples those of the sides of life that had to do with the mechanics and the application of forces in nature that are NOT applied by the mind of man in the present. The entity gained and lost through this period. Gaining in service, losing in mis-application, for the engendering of thought of self rather than neighbor, and from the application of many of those things as were given to the peoples - in using, especially, transmission of thought, of message, of minds, of things. Hence we find the entity's interest in mechanics, and things that have to do with things of this nature.
15. In the abilities of the entity, these - as we find - lie in many directions, and the application of self in any of these, for the entity might become an INVENTOR - or the entity may apply self in the direction of the teacher, or of
2713-5 Page 4
those that have to do with those of state secrets, or the secret service, or the diplomatic service. In any of these the entity may apply self, yet most will be accomplished in those that have to do with that of the spiritual nature that lies nearest and dearest to the heart of the entity in the present experience. Keep thyself right, in the manner of knowing that the universal forces are of the Creative Energy, and must be applied in man's knowing his closer relation to his Maker; for in mis-application comes dissension. In understanding comes service. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Is ..., N.C., the proper place for the entity to live, from a physical and financial standpoint? If not, where? (A) Any place, as given - the entity may choose. This has its own peculiar interest, from individual contacts the entity HAS made that have influenced the entity through other experiences. In the present, with the contacts, there will be others that will be more in accord with that the entity would accomplish. Why not follow those?
17. (Q) Do you see any immediate changes for my betterment in the next few years? (A) That depends upon application of self and that attained IN self; for betterment, physically, mentally, financially, may come through the application of that as is known INNATELY and APPLICABLE to the body, to the entity.
18. (Q) In what capacity am I best fitted to serve the Association of National Investigators? (A) This, as has been given. That in ANY that has to do with those of transmission of ideas, thoughts, teachings, or the relationships of others TO the Association. These may be the best ways, means, and manners - but stay close to same!
19. (Q) Will my future savings be best invested in Pinehurst Incorporated Stock? (A) These are very good. There may be better.
20. (Q) Will the entity be able to dispose of, without loss, lots #35 and 36, Sweet Street, Rockledge, Fla., and when? (A) To dispose of same without loss will require the holding of same for at least four to five years.
21. (Q) If first impulses govern my decisions in life, is it because of the unseen compelling forces that control me? (A) This would rather be indicated as that as has been outlined. We have contending forces, as is seen, with the entity. Through those first we find of the higher developments, as has to do with those of the impulse, that brought destructive forces. These appear first. THIS an entity that should think twice before acting once. MOST
2713-5 Page 5
people we would find would act on impulse first. THIS entity should think twice. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Datastician
