1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and Universal Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving time, the place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and to that which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, and those relations with the Universe and Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present personality of the entity, with that as has been builded into the entity in urge from appearances in the earth's plane.
3. In taking the position in the present earth plane, we find this taken from those influences in Venus, with those of Uranus and of Mercury, with the adverse influence in Jupiter and in Mars, with the assistance in Saturn and in those of the Scorpio.
4. Then, we find those personalities given, as one by many considered peculiar in many ways; yet one whose dominant influence in the life is in the love as manifested to the body, and as the entity manifests to others; yet this brings, under some conditions, those influences that are at times (or have been in past) evil spoken of.
5. One that has lost much in the financial way, when there seemed almost impossible for things not to go just right.
6. One that has not always used discretion with better judgment.
7. One that has allowed small things, and influences of others, to over balance that judgement.
8. One slow of anger, yet capable of, through will's force, exercising that of grudge against others.
9. One that is slow of speech in many ways, and over abundance in speech in the single groups, on some questions.
10. One that should give to the world those manifestations
2895-1 Page 2
of love's influence, for the entity should learn first that to HAVE is to GIVE, and the personalities as are exhibited are much of those urges as gained in appearances in the earth's plane. Some the entity gives voice to. Others remain as latent urges, and are as dreams, when the entity has builded to certain stages or positions in life.
11. Then, one not satisfied with the present occupation, and one that will, or should, change during the latter part of the present year, for these will, through these influences, as we see, bring that possibility for the entity. Then, use will forces, even though it may present at the time a form of unreasonableness, it will lend to the entity that ability of expansion that will build greater conditions in the life of this body.
12. As to the physical, as created in the present plane, its weaknesses being indigestion, and in the circulation, overtaxed through Scorpio, which is as the seat of the central portion of body, see?
13. The body, or entity, one of the eccentric intent, BY NATURE.
14. One that loves to be something of a mystery to others - often IS, to its own detriment.
15. One that is attracted to those of the beautiful in every way and manner.
16. One whose abilities lies greatest in that of the manufacturing end of any element that has to do with the product of the earth, and especially those that will be made into those conditions that may be as ornaments, or as beautiful, see?
17. As to the appearances:
18. In the one before this we find in the early days of the settling of the country near where the entity entered the earth's plane in the present sphere. The entity then in the name Naile, and the entity then among those who pushed into that country over the border of the settlement, and gave the peoples of that country the greater incentive for the stability of the home, coming then to the position of the judge, or trusted one, of the new settlement. The urge then in the present, the love of outdoors, the desire to give counsel, and attending to self's own business.
19. In the one before this we find in that country when the Spaniards were being attended by those invaders of the Sea. The entity then again in that of a defender against the invading forces, and again in the land of the tiller of the soil, and the entity then gained much in that land, and in the name of Duraio, and the forces as manifested by the entity then may still be found in the records of the
2895-1 Page 3
invasion at that period, in the palisade building of that country.
20. In the one before this we find in that of the Peruvian forces (as known now), in the days of the Ohlm [Ohm? - Ohum? Aymaras] rule, and in the latter portion of that rule. The entity then in the place of power, and the entity lost in that period, for the aggrandizement of selfish motives, of selfish purposes, to the satisfaction of the desires of the flesh, brought many destructive forces in the entity's building. Then in the name Okri. In the urge as is seen in the present from this, the desire to see many foreign places, and that secret urge of strange women.
21. In the one before this, in the days of the first upbuilding in the Atlantean country. The entity then again in power, and among the chosen ones of the time, in the name Ishmeuel (as it would be in this language), and the entity both gained and lost, for the periods of advancement were such that much required, and much gained and lost in same. The urge from same, being that ever questionableness to self, as to whether the judgement of the entity correct or not; and the abilities, then, lie in that of the manufacturing end of products of the earth, and, as given, in same will the entity find the greatest success in the present sphere; the greater opportunities being presented to same during the latter part of the present year. Take advantage, then, of same; but build first in self that knowledge of the relations self, in the earth plane, bears to the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, knowing that when one has fully found the manifestations of the spirit of glory within, many more of those conditions that are necessary for the earthly sojourn will be added, through their natural means, to the entity.
22. We are through for the present.
