1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In the relationships of this entity, and those builded in the present experience, little - save in a general manner - would form, or conform, to those as ordinarily given from astrological influences. Yet, in comparing same to the EXPERIENCES OF the entity through the earth's plane, and the relationships such experiences bear with experiences in Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune, they carry a varied condition, and as to why there has so often, and for so long a period, been ADVARIANCES [AT-VARIANCES] in the experience of the entity, and why the whole life - while not one of discontent, rather the feeling of insecurity, and not understanding what was expected, or what was desired to be accomplished by self.
3. In those of Mercury, we find the body MENTAL that is exceptional, and while there be some conditions as have to do with the purely material things that are not EASILY understood, but a theorem, or a spiritual, or a MENTAL quorum, to the entity, is its application - has not been so easy, for this - as we find - in Neptune's relation with Jupiter AND Venus - has held the intuitive forces in such a position as to the body mental, [2756] we are speaking of - [2756] - in such a position as to KNOWING, yet the relationships in either those of the love as related to duty, and the variations of duty between love, has kept rather CONSTERNATION for the entity; for the entity is one that love means the most of everything, and duty such a kindred thing as to prevent often the full expressions in love, whether filial or spiritual, or universal. These, as seen, the contending influences in the experience of the entity, and would VARY GREATLY from that as is ordinarily given as to astrological influences; for under Pisces, and
2756-1 Page 2
under those of just following the cusps, these ordinarily bring a very DETERMINED nature, and one that quietly goes about to gain WHATEVER is in the desire of the inner being. Seldom has the entity in the present experience attained its heart's desire in such a manner to be satisfied WITH same WHEN gained; yet not DISCONTENT, NOT wholly discouraged - for innately that love, that duty, as holds for many of the relationships, both to family and to associations. Family ties to the entity mean much; yet innately there have been associations in the material phases of life, but to the entity had little to do with materiality that made for conditions, could the entity only but embrace, have builded much in the entity's experience.
4. In those of Jupiter, the ability to forgive often, and forgive much - for many have been, and many are to the ENTITY, hardships to bear. MOSTLY MENTAL. These have gained such conditions in the entity's experience as to have made a bigness of purpose that properly, even now, applied and experienced in the entity's present experience, will make for the satisfactions that are BEYOND compare, and much of the GOOD - as is felt to be good; for to the entity many things that are held by SOME as even impure, to the entity are clean. To many that are NOT even trustworthy, to the entity are the truest of true.
5. IN the applications, then, and in the study of self and that as is to be gained, and to be attained, may the entity find the answer to much that has TROUBLED the life, TROUBLED the present experience - and with the comparison of those things that have been builded in the various experiences, and applying self in the light of those experiences, may the entity build that which will mean the UPLIFT of self to an understanding wherein the entity may give much to others. This should EVER be the BASIS for the entity's mental reasoning; for beginning with that of the Creative Energies, God IS, and in Him we all live, move, and have our being, whether in the phase of worlds, individuals, or that created for man's sustenance - all are a part, a portion, of the whole. In the manifesting of the various phases of life, that the expression of the Creator and that created reflects its expression OF the Creator. In self, then, "NOT MY WILL, NOR THE WILL OF THOSE WHOM I LOVE, OR WHOM SURROUND ME, BODY, MIND OR PHYSICAL! BUT HIS, the Creator's, and my reflection, my ACTIVITIES, are the expressions of MY concept OF MY Creator, my God" - See? In the application of self in this direction, we will find the self will find that happiness, that contentment, that is not surpassed; is not found in any other direction.

6. In that as innate influences of the entity as expressing themselves in various directions:
7. In any of the phases of life the entity finds interest. That which is of the MOST interest, is those of peoples' MENTAL ABILITIES.
8. In those experiences in the earth's plane and their influence in the present:
9. In the one before this we find in that land now known as England, when the Charles the Second returned to that land. The entity among those of that court, and gained through the expression of the understandings BETWEEN those peoples; losing when there was found that there was self-aggrandizement of interests by others. In the name Eloise. In the present experience there is seen the relationships as come between self and others are ever shaded with the doubt of whether there be selfish motives or not. LITTLE of selfishness, then, is manifest in the entity's make-up; yet FEAR enters in - and fear is the destroying forces of a strong will, that has - and even IS POWERFUL in its abilities! Taking away from self that of the ability to put it over. Often the entity feels, even from this experience - "MIGHTY NEAR I have found it - mighty near I HAVE succeeded, but I'm NOT QUITE satisfied".
10. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Arabian. The entity then among those peoples of the hill and sand country, and among those that were of the leaders of the land; coming INTO the land THROUGH the bringing up of the peoples from the Indian country - but GAINING much THROUGH that experience, and in the name Abeldei. In the experiences, these would be noteworthy - for they influence MUCH the innate feelings OF the entity in the visions mentally gained through that experience. Oft in the storm, oft in the calm, oft in the shadows of the noonday sun, and oft in the evenings when the stars were bright, the entity reasoned - and wondered, and wondered - yet with the return of those held near and dear in the family relations, the loss - the fear of loss crept in. Again [arose] fear, and the desire to hold close - or the [being] afraid to hold near and dear those that were loved, or beloved - or [the being] fearful of expressing the innate feelings as were experienced by the COMMUNION of self with nature. Know, then, as has been given, that all natural forces are of one source. So is self! and so is self's mental vision, and attuning self to these - making one's will one WITH that Creative Energy - out of same grow the WONDERFUL things in man's MIND, or the beautiful things as come in nature; for it IS Nature's and God's law.

11. In the one before this we find in the hills country again, and to the entity the beauty of hills, the beauty of forest and stream, have a peculiar calling - yet FEARFUL often of the results of same. While the body feels CROWDED when in crowds, yet lonely in expanse; yet the water calls often to the entity, and its creative forces as may be manifest through same. In the upper land, then, of that land known as Egypt. The entity lived among those peoples who first came in to subdue the lands, and was of the tribe and household who CONQUERED the land, and in the name Arst. In this experience the entity lost and gained. Lost through the spite as was manifest in claiming for self those of the things and peoples held so close. GAINING in the application of the tenets set up in the latter portion of the entity's experience in that land. But ever dwelling just on the OUTSKIRTS of it all; SEEING it, KNOWING it - only feeling it; not becoming a portion of same in the expression.
12. In the ABILITIES of the entity in the present, and that of which it may attain, and how:
13. Interest self first in some definite development of the mental abilities of the entity as relating to the gathering of data, either respecting the peculiar expressions of various tenets as may be correlated, or of the beauties in nature - and MAKE of same that as may become worth while to many peoples. A gatherer, then, of the efforts of others to express self in various fields, or various lines, and those that are UNKNOWN through the efforts of the entity may be MADE to understand and gain much in THEIR experience. KEEPING those things as has been given, as the basis to build from. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Will the entity have a second marriage? If so, in what year? (A) This may be determined best by the entity, for will the entity interest self in that as has been given for its best development - this would be better than marriage.
15. (Q) Will entity's husband retain his present position so that we can remain in N.Y.? If so, how long will he remain with his present firm? (A) He may retain same to the period that is desired by same.
16. (Q) Is it to the entity's best advantage to retain the friendship of A. J. [...], ... Avenue, New York? (A) RETAIN same; for in the building and exchange of those conditions as are near and dear to each - BUILDING for self. BE not fearful off that as may become the CROWNING feats and
2756-1 Page 5
forces in the life!
17. (Q) Will A. J. [...] be a helpful business influence in her life? (A) Be made so, will be helpful - will the entity make it so. The entity has been allowing itself to be controlled! Do some CONTROLLING now!
18. (Q) Where should the entity spend the summer months? (A) Somewhere, where it will get some flesh on its body!
19. (Q) Where would that be? (A) Sand and sea, pine, and PLENTY to EAT!
20. (Q) Will the year hold any traveling for the entity? If so, where? (A) This may or may not be. There will come the OPPORTUNITIES FOR itself. Will the physical forces by the better, then this would be WELL. Were they NOT the better, would NOT be well - but use all, and WHATEVER comes in the experience of the entity, to build toward that, that may accomplish within self, self's abilities, self's gratification - NOT of desire, but of WILL to be something, FOR something, and something worth while! BUILD toward that! USE all for that! THIS not selfishness! for He that giveth, aideth, his fellow man, LENDETH to the Lord - and IN THAT may the greatest satisfaction as may be accomplished in the experience of any, be found. Help the other fellow HELP himself! Not just aid to the gratifying, that "I have given this - I have done that for the other fellow", but let the other fellow have FAITH and confidence in themselves, and above ALL - KEEP it in self!
21. (Q) Is there any other advice you can give that will be helpful to the entity? (A) Understand that as has been given, in first search out self - take stock - take counsel WITH self; knowing that there is the ability within self to turn the affairs of the whole UNIVERSE - and work toward that as has been given. We are through for the PRESENT. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Datastician
