1. EC: We have the entity, [2894], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present experience.
2. In entering, astrologically, we find the entity's influence coming in Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, with adverse in Saturn and Mars. In the relations then, astrologically, we find these conditions to be as innate, and many may be developed and - as will be seen, these first must be considered as the warnings concerning this body and its developments. When there is the square of Saturn with Mercury and Jupiter, as will appear in May of 1932, will the body be warned as respecting all things that have to do with machinery movements, or locomotion of any character. These may bring, during this period, those of destructive forces for this body. Firearms, in the square with March - which will be in March of 1941.
3. In the relationships as seen innate:
4. One that will find the BEAUTIFUL, in every character and nature, ESPECIALLY interesting to the body.
5. One that the arts - that is, those of the expression of SELF in any manner - will be the fields for the greater development, whether in that of music, dancing, or in expressions of self in ANY of these fields - will be the bigness, the nobleness of the entity's expressing self.
6. One, then, full of the innate feeling of desire to express self in or through any of these channels, and this SHOULD BE encouraged in the developments for the body; for in these fields will the body excel, and with those influences in Mercury the MENTAL developments will come with the experiences of self through the EXPRESSION of self in ANY of these channels.
7. These, then, being those fields through which the entity may develop most for self and for the service the entity may render in this experience.
2894-1 Page 2
8. One that will find in the expression of self the ability to aid in giving much pleasure, much joy, much understanding to others, through any or either of the channels as seen and given.
9. In the appearances, and the effect as these innately manifest in this experience:
10. In the one before this we find in the land or country in which the entity now finds experience. The entity then among those who assisted in the developments of the lands in this portion of the country, and in the name Wigham - and the entity gained through that experience in the assistance given to those that DEFENDED the fort about which the entity gave so much thought and attention. THEN at Roanoke Island. In the present experience, this gives that innate love for reading of certain character - that that has to do with adventure, and especially of those that succeed in carrying forward that of good development in the one attempting to accomplish a purpose. This WELL for the development, for the entity - for will aid much in the manner in which self may find expression. Also this gives innately that fearfulness in self as respecting being subdued, or being CONTROLLED by another, and not FINDING self's expression.
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as France. The entity then in that period when there were rebellions in the land, when those peoples known as the Norsemen came in from the north country. The entity then among those in the land that defended the valleys now known as the lower Rhine land. In this land, the entity in the name Ulda - and the entity gained and lost through this experience. Gained in the ability to serve, yet serving in capacity that brought others to the entity - and, usurping authority, lost in the aggrandizement of selfish interests. In the present we find these innate and expressive in the developing entity - the love for travel, to see unknown lands, and to have EXPERIENCES that are unusual; yet innately that of the movement of feet - or body - in expression of self's own FEELINGS also arises from this experience. Yet, as is seen in that experience, the destructive forces being in selfish interests, let the body find that in expression of self, let the good come from same to the assistance and aid of others, and not wholly for selfish motives.
12. In the one before this we find in that land now known as Greece. The entity then among those that were of the peoples that gave much to the land in the way of expressing self in the dance, and in the movements - as were rhythm and the expression of life. In the name Zeni. The entity
2894-1 Page 3
gained and lost, and gained, through this experience. Gaining in the ability to find expression that gave to others the concept of the relationships between the expressions of individuals and the creative forces as may be manifest through individual experience or life. Losing in turning this experience of power over others into self's own interest. Gaining again in subduing self and making for self a NAME, and raised to the power that, wherein SCULPTORS used the movements of the body, the figure, for MODELS for expression of much of the arts of the period, and the entity then - in the latter portion of the experience - gave much to others in the way of expression of self and self's body, mind, and soul, for the peoples of the land. Giving to them at that period much of the understanding that was later turned into that known as the better Grecian arts. In the present experience this influence will be the greater, for those inclinations in the Jupiterian and Mercurian forces manifest themselves in this present experience.
13. Then, to the arts - to the dance, to the EXPRESSIONS of self in same - will the entity find the greater field for development.
14. In the one before this we find in the land when the peoples from the holy land gathered in that land known as Babylon. The entity then in the household of King Nebuchadnezzar, and in the household the entity came into contact with those brought in from this land. Gaining in the lessons as were given, even by the servants of the entity. In the name then Estueoiled. The entity gained in this experience, and learned much in the manner of expression of self, and aided the peoples as were in servitude to gain the hearing when the governor Midias was in power. In the present experience, the entity finds these peoples rather INTERESTING - but oft held aloof, yet would do well to gain more of the EXPERIENCES through these peoples.
15. In the one before this we find in that land known as Poseida, in Atlantis. The entity then, again, in power, and queen of Poseida - in the name Amiee. The entity in power and in fame, RULING rather with the IRON hand - as would be termed in THIS day. Losing through a portion of the experience, in bringing peoples to the way of hating one another. In the present experience wrath often will find expression, and this must be subdued in self, will the entity gain that to which it should attain in the present experience.
16. In abilities, then:
17. We find in those of art, or expression of emotional self
2894-1 Page 4
in music, dance, or such - and in these fields - will the entity gain for self that cooperation of the innate influences in each of the creative energies that manifest themselves through individual experiences; yet well will the entity learn the lessons that wrath must be overcome, self must be submerged, would the BETTER self find expression in this physical plane. Seeking first, then, the glory of the creative forces, let THESE shine through the life in such a manner as others may know that THOUGHT has been taken of "whither goest thou". In self, then, find that relationship to the creative forces in the universe, and all else will be added unto you. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Would it be to the best advantage of this body to follow the plans outlined for this winter, as for her school work? (A) Very good.
19. (Q) What special studies should be emphasized? (A) History and music, travel and such.
20. (Q) What advice can be given the mother for the proper influence and training for this body in the next few years? (A) These have been outlined in the abilities and the innate influences as will and do surround this body. Bringing, then, such influences to bear in the life - by its environmental influence - that these may accord with that necessary for the better development and the better expression of self through those innate feelings as will and do arise with this entity.
