1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces that are latent and manifested in the entity, now [2733].
2. In entering we find the influences in the astrological and in the environmental quite different. While there are periods when the astrological and the environmental of earth or planetary sojourn do coordinate in the effects created, in the impulses for activities of the entity in the present experience, in most we find them at an at-varience.
3. Coming then under this influence, we find Jupiter being the greater astrological ruling influence; making, with those of other sojourns, cross-influences at times; as Jupiter with the benevolent influence of Uranus and adverse influence of Venus, with the influence of Mercury and Mars acting in cross-influences, as we shall see from earth or environmental-material sojourns. Hence we have in the present experience these urges; some coming as personalities and some as builded by the activities of the will respecting the environs, or that which is innately or at times manifestedly held as the ideal of the entity:
4. One with high ideals, and with the abilities of using opportunities for the advancement in associations or relations that deal with benevolent or constructive influences in the mental activities of individuals. Adverse influences make for associations in some realms of cross-purposes that make for uncongeniality, producing the obstructions in activities in that direction. The benevolent influences in the Uranian make for the activities that have come in the present experience of the entity.
5. Being of the influence that comes from those who entered from the activities of the Atlantean, coming under the influences of Jupiter AND Uranus for those activities in the
2733-1 Page 2
MENTAL forces, there will be produced that which makes for change-in the periods when the greater astrological sojourn or influence rules the impulses in the experience of the entity. Hence, as seen, the very decided changes, the very impulsive activities that make for the bringing of unusual experiences in the activities of the entity.
6. With the influences in Mercury and Mars there is that impulse toward the higher mental conditions that are termed in the material conditions as art, while in the main the abilities that deal with the power or influence such has - in its broader sense - upon the experiences of individuals. Hence, as we see, we would find two conflicting influences in the experience of the entity in the present. There is a portion of the mentality that deals primarily with peoples rather than things, yet a portion of the experience that deals with things that influence individuals. Hence the cross-conditions that arise in the experience of the entity.
7. Jupiter's influence, beginning in the latter portion of the past year, makes for those changes in the activities, the environs or the associations of the entity.
8. Coming with the activities of those influences in Neptune of the mystic, and the Uranian influences in their conjunction with Jupiter in the portion of March, April and May of the present year, the entity will influence or make for activities that will change the outlook upon its experiences in the present period.
9. As to the personalities that are innate and manifested in the entity's present sojourn from these influences:
10. One that loves the crowds and the associations of same.
11. One that also makes for periods of looking within self as to the relations of that gained by associations of things and minds, as TO the activities of individuals.
12. One that has the tendencies for CHANGE in the associations of MENTAL, physical and material conditions.
13. One that naturally, innately in self, is in the van, or a leader that only needs the aid of those that would be active through either the influence of March, April or October, to make for the abilities to concentrate in activities in such relationships or leaderships.
14. The associations of art, art's influence, books (and the matter within it rather than the book, but its author, or the like), influence innately many activities of the entity.
15. As to the appearances and their influence upon the present experience - for these, as indicated, make for those decisions that have been oft as snap judgments of the entity in the present experience:
16. In the one before this we find in that land of the
2733-1 Page 3
present nativity, and during those periods when there were the first settlings of the peoples after the decision to become alone. The entity was among those who came with the soldiery of the foreign lands, settling near that place of the present birth, in the name Poiant; and there may be found as yet, among the resting places near Suffern, New York, the NAME - Margarette Poiant.
17. The entity gained and lost, and gained, through the gatherings of the peoples for the uplift and the building towards the developments of the land; lost in the associations when false activities on the part of others made for loss of faith in individuals. Hence that division which is oft felt within self in the present, as to whether individuality may be depended upon or the ASSOCIATIONS of the individual with the material things in the entity's experience, that may be associated with the entity. Hence those activities that come in the experience of the entity in the present as to being often divided as to the interests of friends or foes, as to their real purpose in life.
18. In that period the entity lost faith on account of the activity of those in their religious life. Hence the question mark that often rises when one cloaks self with religious thought.
19. Before this we find the entity in that land known now as the German, when there were the preparations for the crusades into the Holy Land. The entity was among those that may be termed of the more zealous in that particular endeavor, and gave much of self in aiding in the preparation and the embarking of those that gave themselves in this undertaking. Hence, as we find, the activities of individuals, history, travel, are always of particular interest to the entity in the present.
20. The entity was then in the name Haslaid (Gracia), and gained throughout; yet suffering much in body, in mind, yet held in self that purpose, that aim, that made for the bearing up of the entity under the mental and physical conditions which came as a part of its experience. The entity gave much then to individuals in the matter of boosting them up for a purpose, for an aim, for an idea, and most of all for an ideal.
21. The beauty of life as related to associations of individuals to groups, to societies, to nations, is of peculiar interest to the entity; as is that particular land.
22. Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the Persian, during that period when Uhjltd established in the hill land that place for the gatherings of many from many climes, from many lands. The entity then was among
2733-1 Page 4
those who came from the eastern land, or what is now called India, and aided in the disseminating of those truths and lessons in the experience of individuals as related to their moral, material and spiritual life.
23. Then, the entity was rather the teacher, in the name Imena (or Mina, as would be called in the present).
24. The entity gained and lost, and gained, through the experience. The travels brought many disappointments from the material sides, and the associations made for loss of confidence in individuals and in groups. With the acceptance of the teachings, and through the healings brought to friends and relatives at the period, the entity then found peace, harmony, and a growth or development through the experience.
25. Orientals, oriental trappings - the love of these is the harking back to that experience of the entity; especially those things in carvings of ivory, and the like.
26. Before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the divisions in the land from the activities of those that rose in rebellion when the priest was banished. The entity then was among those who came into the land to study with those that ministered to the peoples, and with the rebellions joined with the forces in the rebellion. Later, with the establishing again of the priest, the entity became one that ministered much to the peoples in the home land, as well as aiding in disseminating the truths to those that gathered for the lessons that brought physical aid, as well as mental and material aid. The name was Aph-Ti.
27. The entity was later made among those that were held in reverence and awe by those of the Abyssinian land.
28. In the present we find the influences from this bring much that makes for a lack of trust in others, yet the ability to make friendships and to draw upon the powers within self to make for the harmonizing of dissenting forces in many quarters. The harmony of the arts also comes from this experience, for the entity was given to making pigments for the colorings in both cloth and in the walls of the temples of the day.
29. Before this we find the entity in the Atlantean land. HERE the entity was near to those that made for the destructive forces, as well as for those that were the SAVING of the peoples in the land, aiding then in making the preparations for the sojourning or the leaving of peoples that would go to other lands before the final destruction came to this land; yet choosing to be rather among those to REMAIN - as would be termed - in the sinking ship.
2733-1 Page 5
30. The entity gained through this experience, yet oft close to those influences and conditions that made for destructive influence. The attempts on the part of the entity, as Asimee-n, made for those influences that aided in preserving the peace between the children of men and the children of the Creative Forces or Influences. Hence, with the coming into the earth's experience at this particular cycle, there are those abilities in self to INNATELY feel or to follow hunches (as called), or to be SYMPATHETIC and yet know the destructive forces that are near, yet with the ability to urge on those who have a guiding star to hold to same.
31. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
32. From its experiences, oft does the entity in its quieter moments find the need of the strong arm to lean upon, yet falters in giving such in the hand of that that is mortal or less than ideal; yet often looks for the ideal in the material. As has been seen, only the ideal may be in the spiritual.
33. Find self first, in that it may set as its ideal, that answers for the questions that arise within self, and with those abilities urge on those that falter, those that are weak, those that would turn back; for the abilities lie in that direction. The period, the hour, the time, is nigh. Draw NIGH unto the Creative Forces that find expression within self, and aid OTHERS to find THEMSELVES, in the leaning on the Everlasting Arm rather than in the carnal or material forces, and there will come in the experience of self - in so doing - that that will bring not only joy, peace, harmony in aiding others to see beyond the rough places in life, but that which builds for CONSTRUCTIVE influences in their experience also.
34. Peace, harmony, joy be thine in so doing!
35. Ready for questions.
36. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File " " Mr. [334] " " David E. Kahn
