1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and its relation - and relations - with the universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personality of the present entity, [2741].
2. In entering the present experience much might be given respecting the astrological aspects for the entity in the present experience. So little, however, has the experience proven the astrological layout - other than as urges; yet some specific periods of change as indicated for the entity through such HAVE come about. Hence there may be confusion in the mind of the entity were such aspects given only from the nominal astrological view. There has been much builded by the entity in the present through the application of will upon the aspects or urges, that are latent and manifested in the present experience of the entity.
3. In the astrological, then, as sojourns - or the innate influences in the entity's present make-up from astrological or planetary sojourn by the accentuation of experiences THROUGH such environs, builded by will's reaction to physical or mental conditions in the experience:
4. In Mercurian - one of high mental abilities; with the ability to cooperate with individuals in many ways, yet individuals at times on the other hand become burdensome and unbearable to the entity, and the sensitive nature of the entity - from its mental attitudes towards morality, morals and associations, whether of filial, social or political natures - becomes so overstrung as to be necessitating changes of scenes. Hence these conditions that are apparently contradictory in the experience of the entity have a deeper seated source than that of a single experience of the entity, as might be considered from a one experience existence of a soul or body.
5. In the influence or aspects in the real make-up of the
2741-1 Page 2
entity's abilities, and the entity's mental and the soul reactions to environs - whether of the nature that become of the ordinary hereditary or environ circumstance - these are also deeper seated, and the likes and dislikes of the entity (that become so acute in this present experience of the body known as [2741]) become sensitive to those influences in a manner as to bring often sorrow, when OTHERS would deem there SHOULD be joy in the entity's make-up as for those intuitive influences, that produce not only that which has been called (in the affairs of men in the present) clairaudient, but clairvoyant experiences - and these trouble the body in the present, so that they become rather those experiences to be dreaded rather than accepted in the JOY that SHOULD be the experience of ANY sensitive spirit.
6. Also in this influence, from Jupiter and Venus combined, makes for those abilities in the fields of association in the present experience, and the ability of the entity to be a diplomat, and one that might even be carried to that point of an EXTREME activity in what may be termed the ability to get the inside information for political powers, or those seeking to sap, undermine, override; or, in common parlance, to "get the low-down" on a group, individual, class or nation; yet EVER is this tempered by that sensitiveness of the entity's application of love, experience, and fortitude.
7. In those experiences that WE find will bring the greater change from such influences, from the outside rather than from the present earth's sojourn (if this is properly understood), there will come soon those changes in the associations of the entity; or rather, had it best be put, the OPPORTUNITY for a variation in the associations, and with the opportunity also to experience, use, develop, those innate abilities that come from within, FROM the entity's soul's development or EXPERIENCE THROUGH the ages, as it may have been termed, or through the varied experiences of the entity as a whole in this material world, or an advancement IN abilities of the entity to USE the PSYCHIC or innate forces IN the affairs and the experiences of itself, as related to individuals, groups, classes, masses, peoples and nations - and therefore influence many by the activity of the entity. Though the entity may feel that is position is an naught, that its influence is as non-existent, yet the very HUMBLENESS will - if applied PROPERLY - GIVE the IMPORT to the influence as will be manifested by the entity's activities. This should begin by the twenty-fourth of April, present year. The period when the activities of Uranus, with Jupiter, Venus AND Mercury, are beginning to be felt in the earth's experience by those attuned to those
2741-1 Page 3
experiences of their entities through these influences, and their activity upon the earth is that the earth and its inhabitants become more susceptible to such periods, to those influences. Hence the periods of activity or digression from those conditions as have ruled in the affairs of such entities as this, are more active, more potent, through such periods.
8. In the appearances that INFLUENCE the entity in the present:
9. The one before this we find in that land now known as the American, and about that city called "the city of brotherly love", in the foundations and the establishings of those peoples about that place. The entity then among those coming in for freedom from the oppressions in the religious persecutions of its land of PRESENT sojourn. The name ASSUMED, and that may be found, Dunhillender. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained through those services rendered those early peoples, in gaining the aid of not only the natives of the land but those of various faiths that came into the land, to cooperate in a one-purpose - though each night hold their individual ideal. In this the entity gained, for this is as idealistic to the entity. In power given did the entity falter, through aggrandizing of selfish motives, selfish conditions for self. In the present this makes for that influence for the study of the activities of religious influences in the lives, hearts or experiences of MANY a people, many a nation; yet that may be termed also as influencing from other OUTSIDE experiences, that ability in being the diplomat - yet the strangeness of the associations, and the questioning by many.
10. In the experience then before this we find in that land now known as the Arabian, or Persian lands, when there was the establishing of the various associations of other peoples by that builded by a leader that overran the land, yet not in power of arms or force, yet in the service, the abilities to lend succor and aid to others in a physical and a material manner, BUILDED a mighty power in the land. The entity then, in the Saaiooed, brought much comfort to many peoples in what later became a high civilization, as may be termed, in Athea (?), or those lands in the Grecian peninsula, and much of those things builded later in the temple as of Efficus (?), the temple of Diane, did the entity have much to deal with. Hence those things as pertain to the arts as they influence the lives of people, whether as in those that represent images to peoples' lives, or those that make for the changing of peoples' thoughts by acting or by reading, are INNATE things that find
2741-1 Page 4
expressions, spasmodically, in the present experience of the entity. The entity gained, but lost most through the experience. Gained in attempting to aid self AND others in the study. LOST in the application of such for self's own advancement, rather than the thought of the seed sown that would bring disorder to others.
11. In the one then before this we find in that land now called the Nubian or Abyssinian land, where those were exiled from that Egyptian land in those periods when there were disorders arising there from the banishing of that priest that caused many to stumble. The entity then among those peoples of the land that came under the influence of the priest and those following him, and brought much to the peoples of her OWN land, as to others, in the abilities to teach that of body-expression, activity of the mental and physical body, in service in temple, in the various places of amusement, as well as those of the study of learning, and the entity may be said to be among those of the first in THAT land to combine pleasure AND a moral lesson to the peoples, in the entertaining of those peoples that made up the greater portion of the population of the land, when the entity returned with those to those in power in what is now near Lucknow. In this experience the entity gained throughout, for those truths that the entity gained in the experience brought contentment, and with this the abilities to give out to others that which brought a better understanding of the relationships of an entity, a soul, an individual, a body, to its Maker, and the love that binds individuals in service to Him. In the name Aar-Fpta.
12. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain - and how:
13. As may be indicated, the EXPERIENCES to the present have been but an awakening, WILL the entity but see, use and understand these; for WITH the greater awakening and opportunities that should come in the present year, something akin to that as experienced through the Egyptian period may BE the OUTCOME in THIS present experience, and the entity be not only a joy to self but to many another, through the lessons that may be received in the spiritual sense through the abilities which have been builded innately in and through its psychic forces; and, as is message to the peoples - in the various portions - of their relationships with their fellow man, bring that counsel that will make for a contentment, a peace, that PASSETH understanding.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) How can I use my energy to get the most out of life? (A) In understanding or listening to those voices that
2741-1 Page 5
speak from within and about self. Not material; but those UNSEEN sources are OPENING to the abilities. Apply; do not abuse. Rather harken to that still small voice; for know that while the storms may - in all their picturesque beauty - bring fears or joy in the hearts of many, and that the ravages of war and the boldness as created by the spirit of patriotic influences are aroused, these are OUTWARD signs - and that which BUILDS is the still small voice from within. Seek not "Who shall ascend into the heavens to bring him down, or go to the ends of the earth that ye may know!" Rather that that is within thine own self only needs the line upon line, the line upon line, to bring the understanding that HE LIVES - and all is well! Know self to be a part of that LIVING expression of a LIVING God, a LIVING Creative Force, and the short arms of self will find strength is HIS awakening, HIS love, and that new commandment, "that ye love one another, would ye know the way."
16. (Q) How can I understand the meaning of many of my personal qualities? (A) By harkening to that still small voice from within.
