1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [2750].
2. In entering, we find the entity, astrologically, coming under those influences in Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and in Neptune.
3. In those elements as are builded in the inmost self, these we find controlled in the earth's plane through the application of the will as regarding urges, whether builded with those conditions coming as desires from the experiences of the entity or from the environmental influences in the entity's experience, whether of the material, or of the astrological, or astral experiences. In the development of this entity, much has been accomplished for self in the application of will's influence. In those seen astrologically, then:
4. One, in mental capacities, above the ordinary - especially in vision. While conditions as of mathematical precision mean not a great deal, those of HARMONY mean much.
5. In those conditions seen through the influences in Jupiter, that of the material conditions in life, those in experiences in life, those in the broadness of vision in life, have much to do WITH that as become as possibilities and potential factors in the development of the entity's SELF, and of its relationships with others. Broad in vision, not only of experience as related to material conditions, but broad in experience in vision from insight. The intuitive forces being manifested in the entity, even more than is often acknowledged by the entity, or in its APPLICATION of conditions as relate to the mental forces and the mental body itself.
6. In those seen in Neptune, those peoples and those conditions and those things that have to do with water, and large BODIES of water, will have, do have, much to do with
2750-1 Page 2
the influence of the thought and the intent and purports in the life of the entity. Near large bodies of water will the entity find the greater field OF expression; also in SMALL bodies of water - especially in STILL waters - does the entity find those conditions that bring fear or those of losses in material affairs. These are as EXPERIENCES to be met in the entity's application towards conditions as are builded; for, as is seen, each and every entity builds that which it, itself, must meet again; whether in spoken word, or in act, or deed - for in that builded must the body MEET its own self.
7. In the influences, then, as have to do with material conditions in the entity's experience:
8. One that enjoys those of the smiling side of life, or the small things, as well as the profound lecturer. One that would enjoy those of the comic conditions as much as those that are of the highbrow, yet in each the entity gains its lesson from the ACTIVITIES of the MENTAL forces made manifest in the expression of that seen, whether in pen, or in actual activity.
9. One that, in the material forces as seen in those of the Neptune's influence, enjoys those that have to do with air, water, and these that make of the MYSTERIES in either. These are those influence INNATE in the entity's experience.
10. In the ABILITIES as apply from the influence as seen innate and manifested in the entity's present experience, that ability to be often the peacemaker, or to become as "oil upon troubled waters" in MANY directions.
11. In the appearances and the influence these have borne, and do bear, upon the present experience of the entity:
12. In the one before this we find in that land now known as England, in that period when there were the dissensions among the common people and those in power, and during that period when Cromwell ruled in that land. The entity among those of the household of the deposed ruler, and awaited upon that one that was in power in fact, in the wife of the first Charles. In this experience the entity GAINED in many PORTIONS of its experience, losing in siding with those that were not of the same faith as self, through fear, rather than through that felt as being the right and proper position that self SHOULD occupy. In the name Milliea. The entity in the present experience finds those conditions that have to do with pomp or power, that are combined as one, as often to be questioned as to their reliability as being true.
13. In the experience before this we find in that land known as the Trojan. The entity then in the same sex, yet in the
2750-1 Page 3
warrior that assisted in the keeping of the gate through which those passed who went to do battle in the field, and especially in the defense of the city. The entity then in the name Milio. In this experience the entity gained through the greater portion of the experience, becoming one who gave much TO the peoples in an UNDERSTANDING manner when contacting those who brought that peace between the armies of that land. GAINING through the acceptance OF the truths as taught through the peacemaker in that land and in that period. In the present there is seen much of that as has been given, often being able to act in the capacity of the peacemaker in many factions, or among the little things as come and go in the affairs of the entity's experience.
14. In the one before this we find in that land where the conditions arose from the destructions that were brought on by the peoples who raided that land known as the Persian now. the entity then in that of the household of the Croesus king, and among those who served in that household; being among those that were kept IN the land even when the king was deposed. The entity lost and gained, and lost, through this experience - for many were the conditions that brought consternation, physically and mentally, to the entity during that experience. GAINING in the aid given TO those who were in authority; losing in acting in the manner of the self-aggrandizement of conditions and the reverses as were BROUGHT to others. This the entity finds in the present experience bringing many of those things that have been of adverse conditions, seemingly, when there should have been the very best to be expected. The turmoils as were brought, also brought that of a physical defect to the entity in that experience, being lame in the latter portion of the entity's experience in that period. In the name Eliod. In the present there is seen those conditions as come about that to the entity are apparently of a different element, a different field. Consternation usually arises from such conditions, yet the entity does not find that it can take disappointments with the same favor each time, and does not overcome in this direction.
15. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Atlantean. In that period, the entity then among those of the princess of the land, and the RULER in the Poseida, in the city called that of the Gate of Gold. The entity then gained and lost through this experience. In the name Ameeel. In this experience the entity found MUCH that were of the forces as apply in that called the night-side, or the negative side of life. The forces as being positive and negative became to the entity, in the application in the
2750-1 Page 4
latter period, negative in their results. Hence the consternation and the destruction that ensued in the second generation from the entity's experience IN the earth's plane. In the present there is seen for the entity, that all must ever have a material standard, for which mental or spiritual forces, or elements, may be measured by. Not a materialist, no; but the entity REASONS rather from that, that it must be a material MANIFESTATION of some ELEMENT that may be expressed IN the mental or the spiritual sense.
16. In the abilities of the entity and that to which it may attain in the present - in the whole summing, as has been seen, that builded in that when service was rendered to others, there came the development; when it was used in aggrandizement of self's interests, whether of this, that or of those that brought consternation, even to others, there came those periods of discontent. To bring, then, that to which is of the nature that is of self-centered, is to bring self destruction forces within the development of self's OWN applications TO that as may be leading toward or from the Creative forces within each entity's being; for an entity, being the portion of the Creative Energy, either develops same to or FROM that center from which IT reflects or radiates its own INFLUENCE, power, or its ability of application OF that force or power that may be manifested through same, and the power manifested is the reflection of the entity's own application of in that thought, in that BEING within, reflecting that held as its criterion.
17. In the present, then, there may be developed in self that which will bring to self the better application of those same forces as manifested, either in the peacemaker - or in the Trojan influence - or as those in the positive and negative forces as come from or through the cosmic influences in the life of an individual. In HARMONIZING, in crystallizing, the influences OF OTHERS' experience, and using that of self to influence those to apply self in the aid to others. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What associations did I have in past incarnations with my present husband [957]? (A) As given. In two relationships they are seen. In those of the first experience, and those in the Trojan.
19. (Q) What is my Cosmic work in this incarnation? (A) In the application of those influences as just given, as applying self towards those as has been given, or towards that as has been gained - in the harmonizing of forces and influences as may be carried, and are carried, through self's own experience, in applying them to the life of others, in THEIR application to THEIR lives. In aiding
2750-1 Page 5
others one aids self most.
20. (Q) What should I do for my son [E...]? - etc. (A) We do not have him here!
