1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [2724].
2. In entering, we find the entity astrologically coming under the influences of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus, with afflicting influences in Saturn. In the astrological aspects, however, we will find many alterations in the personality of the entity from that as would ordinarily be given from those sources at present considered astrological influences; for that as has been BUILDED by the entity in the various earth's sojourn ALTERS somewhat. These, to be sure, are altered in aspects by much leeway as is oft given by students of, or professions of those in astrological aspects. These have been builded rather in the individuality of the entity, and hence become a portion of the personality in the present experience. In the astrological sources, irrespective of application - these we find in some respects tally, in others change, as these:
3. One of the intellectual turn of mind, rather inclined towards those things that have to do with UNSEEN forces or powers, yet give a very DEFINITE manifestation OF that power in the material sense. One that becomes a student of such forces, such manifestations, in all the various phases or aspects of same.
4. One that is inclined to read a great deal, and while reading, or literature as pertains to the kindred subjects of that of the inclination, also those as pertain to travel or exploration are a portion of those likes and dislikes - but a love STORY in same is always preferable.
5. In Jupiter and Venus we find great abilities, great expansions of abilities, as will be seen from Saturn's influence - which this may be made helpful or made harmful - is changeful in the last two years of the aspects, or outlook upon life, or the experiences of life, by that as
2724-1 Page 2
has been experienced by the entity. With the changes as should come in the latter portion, or the last three months of the present year - when Jupiter again becomes in ascendancy as to influence in the lives of those born under the aspects of this entity, CHANGES may be made, and would be well for the better development of the entity, and while in somewhat of different field of endeavor presents itself, as it presents a field of giving more of self-expression of the entity's abilities, of the entity's efforts TO give expression to that as has been attained, or that may be attained in the applying of, or giving out of, that which IS already innate, or held within the experience of the entity; for truly has it been given, that would we HAVE we must give; for as we give OUT in our experience, not so much by that of fatherly, brotherly or sisterly advice, but rather that as is in personal application of abilities as is manifest or innate in individuals. DOING is much louder than saying. In THIS manner does an entity, an individual, a personality, GAIN in the material, the spiritual things of this mundane sphere.
6. In the applications as respecting those things that have been BUILDED in the entity, these overcoming of those tendencies in the influences in Saturn has made for a DEVELOPMENT in the entity's present experience; though these have been met in more than in the present experience, as may be seen by the aspects or influences through those experiences.
7. In the ABILITIES of the entity, and as to how these may be applied:
8. As we shall see, it will be in the application of, developing of, the broadening out of, those visions as HAVE been gained in the experience of the entity. Those things as pertain to minutia and detail are an influence in the entity's experience, those things as partake rather of the commercial world than the home world, has been - through circumstances - put upon the entity's experience in the present, as it was - we shall see - in the past. These are rather as a broadening influence, and - as may be said of the entity as of few individuals - the entity may have a career and a home also. While the home life will never be to the entity that as it might be termed to others, yet to make a home, to make a development in same, is as much a portion of the entity as is any of the EXPERIENCES IN that of the commercial, or the material, or the mental experience of the entity, and because these are looked upon, because they are varied by the entity from that of other individuals and often misunderstood as to same, doesn't mean that they are
2724-1 Page 3
of greater or lesser importance to the entity itself; for to each is given that which if applied to the spiritual forces as is known WILL build that place for the entity in the scheme of the universe as a whole; for we may all be termed truly as corpuscles in the body of God.
9. In the appearances and their influence upon the present entity, [2724]:
10. In the one before this we find in that land now called the French land, and during that period when there were turmoils from within and strifes arose among those as were in the rule or in power and those as were termed the plebeians or the commons peoples. The entity then was among those who were put in PRISON for the activities and for the beliefs. Being under persecution the entity sought to give more and more expression of self, yet gaining in the things the entity suffered; losing in the aggrandizing of selfish motives, as when the entity released became a rebel indeed, but TURNING these things to self's OWN interests rather than for that as was PROCLAIMED by the entity. In the name Marie Duvahl. In the present experience, those of this period in the entity's experience become rather close at times, oft even in the dreams does the entity see the fire, the smoke, the rubble of the peoples during that turbulent period in the entity's experience - and the entity is troubled; yet from same the ability for the classification of beauty in economic conditions in household affairs, in the abilities to direct individuals in economic influences or economic positions, is from THIS experience.
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Arabian land, and during these periods when there were those gatherings of the peoples about those that had established as of a new kingdom in and about that land, or that place now known as Shustar. The entity then was among those that gathered there, becoming later - as those periods developed to where emissaries were sent into the various fields, the various lands - the entity then sent to that land from which much of the beauty, the culture, of those in art of the various fields, become as the criterion; for the entity was then GIFTED much in speech, much as an active influence in the establishing of the cultural schools, or that field of endeavor whereby the peoples' time was divided not only in labor, in play, but in the DEVELOPING of the talents INNATE in each individual; becoming the emissary, with its companion, to this Grecian land, or Grecian isle, the entity gained much in this experience, and THROUGH this experience - and as the entity seeks out that companion of that period - may the entity apply in the PRESENT experience
2724-1 Page 4
much of those abilities as were attained or gained through that experience. In the name Abijhl. In the present, as is seen, those forces as come for the love of those not wholly understood experiences into the fields of the infinite, become as those experiences in that experience of developing the ABILITIES OF individuals in their particular field of applied art.
12. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, during that period when there were divisions among the peoples upon the return of the priest to the land. The entity then was among those as became a teacher in the schools in that land as was established in that land that had to do, and dealt with precious stones, and with the setting of same, that had to do with the lighting of the temple, later in the lighting of the various developments as there were changes during that period into the form of illuminations, for there were added then much of that that has been called the sacred fires of other lands as were put together in containers that this might become the source of light in the temples, in the lamps as were set about the house of many of those, and the entity among those who developed, designed much of this ware, or these constructions, aided by others, as we shall see, with whom the entity was, or will be associated even in the present. In the abilities of the entity in that period, gave rise to many varied expressions OF the entity's development - as has been some experiences in the PRESENT and present associations of the entity WITH those whom the entity has been associated in the present - as have been questioned by some as to THEIR varied positions. In the entity's name, Em-Lmi. The entity may be said to have gained THROUGHOUT the experience, until there came the carrying away of those so close to the entity that discontent arose within the entity's experience to the extent that grudges were held. In the present, as may be seen, pushed to an extremity, we will find the entity able - or INNATELY desiring to fight back, even to the death.
13. In the abilities in the present and that to which it may attain:
14. As has been seen, as may be given in those fields of economics, those fields as pertain to TEACHING that as has to do with the developing OF the various forces as pertain TO economics IN ITS various applications to the home, may the entity excel the most. Keep that as was gained by the light as was shed to self, to the soul, through those experiences where seeking for aid that would be given to the most, may the self develop to the highest in THIS
2724-1 Page 5
experience. Knowing that, that which is of that bespeaking of the continuity of life as was set in Him who came as the example upon which the entity builded much that was used as an ensample, as the light that was set upon the hill, so may the lighting be given by self in the present bespeak of, or shed HIS love, may one know that it comes from the proper source and will NOT lose its way. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is it to the best interests of the entity to continue the present business connections in Boston or to carry out the contemplated plans of establishing in Chappaqua, N.Y.? (A) Establish in Chappaqua, New York!
16. (Q) Are there any suggestions as to the future work or development of the entity? (A) As has been outlined.
17. (Q) Regarding associations of Egyptian period, how may these associations be recognized or contacted? (A) Through that form in which there is given the varied activities of individuals in that experience, and as these are discussed or paralleled may there COME the knowledge of that as WAS, IS, experienced by the entity.
