1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity. With this entity these conditions should be bourne in mind, and especially for this entity - where inclinations, as are exhibited innately - these may become ruling factors, as does habit in material things - or they may through WILL be changed in the experience. Much of such conditions cause those disagreements as to hereditary influence and environmental influence. One may make their own environment by that image as is held as its criterion or ideal, and though the surroundings may be sordid or may be beautiful, when governed by that image these surroundings mean little. In that of hereditary influences, these also are much of an entity's individuality choosing, and these are those elements that cause much discussion. This is given, for these have been factors to the entity that have been confusing, and the questions have often arisen in self as to whether those that counselled, even with the entity or with others, were correct in their surmises - especially as regarding characters, or individuals whom the entity has contacted in the present experience.
2. In entering, we find astrologically those influences from indwelling experiences of the entity. Those the ruling factors in the life of the present experience, and are Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Uranus. Hence we find,
3. One INNATELY high minded, noble in purpose, mentally efficient, loving in disposition - but spiteful, hateful to some, ESPECIALLY those whose birthdays (and who INNATELY are ruled by same) are in May or January.
4. In the influences as the entity has brought to self in the applications of will force in the present experience, and in those from the indwelling influence, or from sojourn
2729-1 Page 2
in that environment as of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus - we find,
5. One decided in views, yet reasonable in MOST things - unless they become those that are of that which the ENTITY loves innately and decidedly. Then rather unreasonable, as would be considered by others - not as by self.
6. In those of the mental abilities - these also are exceptional, and especially has there been such conditions, such positions occupied by the mental forces of the entity through those periods when the greater influence in the earth's plane governed, controlled, or influenced to the greater extent by those of Jupiter and of Venus, with Uranus in the 2nd or 7th house, as sometimes termed. These, as have appeared most, in June and October, and these are the changing times in the entity's experience - either in fact or in MENTAL changes.
7. In that as is developed in the present experience, those of the Venus influence of love - those of Jupiter of nobleness, the expansion of mental, spiritual influences - those in Mercury of the mental abilities and mental capacities - those in Uranus of the occult, but also of the exceptional influences as come from same, bringing - as it were - those decided tendencies in likes or dislikes, bringing that influence wherein the entity able to easily FORGET and easy to remember - especially as to personal feelings, personal influence, personal conditions. Not holding grudges, but rather remembering when necessary that they exist.
8. As to the appearances and their influence in the present experience, those in the earth's plane we give - for in the earth's influence these bear fruit in that environment.
9. In the one before this we find in that land now known as England. The entity then in that period when that ruler Charles the 1st was beheaded; of the household and among those even counselling against the ruler on account of the religious feelings of the entity. INFLUENCED rather by those whom the entity contacted in the opposite sex. In the name Hilda. The entity in the present finds that mistrust of men, that distrust of too decided religious views, that mistrust of too ONE-SIDED view on any subject; gaining and losing through this experience.
10. In the one before this we find in that land now known as Persian. The entity then among those that were driven out before invasions, during Croesus' period - and among those of that that suffered under the invader, bringing to the peoples at that period aid, and in the name Iilia. In the present we find the entity in that capacity of thinking aid,
2729-1 Page 3
thinking helpfulness, thinking that of aid to the weak, the sick, the ailing, and pity is a portion as is seen in the entity's experience from that period.
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as Egyptian. The entity then in the period when divisions arose and counsels made as respecting those conditions arising from banishment of priest and the uprisings in the land. The entity then among those of the priesthood, and gaining in the abilities to keep for the peoples that of worship, even in perilous times. The entity among those who assisted in gaining for the peoples of the period the counsel of both the native and the alien. In the name Isssia. In the present, that is innate of those elements that make for adornment of self, home, city, or country, and the innate influence of country's welfare HEAVY at times in the entity's mental reasoning.
12. In the abilities of the entity and the application of same - as is seen, in that of aid to those who are ailing in body, mind, or in the application of lessons from that portion of life. The entity in applying self in the present finds in the application of mental self, consternation may arise - but with that of an ideal set, one may find contentment and reason. Then aid in THAT direction. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What is the body best fitted for? (A) As given.
14. (Q) Would it be wise for the entity to make a change from present position? (A) Dependent upon that as the entity would apply self in. In one direction, well. In a general direction, no. In the one direction specializing in certain fields, yes. In the general manner, no.
15. That is all the questions.
16. Now much may be said - but we are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Datastician
