1. EC: (In undertone after going back over years to birth date:) 1,673 people born in Chicago in January 7, 1878.
2. Yes, we have the body here, and those conditions surrounding same by which the destiny, so far as the astrological conditions are concerned, irrespective of the will forces, which have been manifest many times in the present condition and plane, and two; yea, three to its own detriment in the present earth plane's development.
3. As to the completion of the present entity, we find this was completed in the early evening, and the ruling force and the planet from which this soul and spirit took its flight was from that of Mars, with the influences of Neptune, Venus (over which it is ridden much), Jupiter in the 9th house, with afflictions of Saturn and the genii [Gemini?] being with contradictory influences of the Moon and Sun, for with the sign in Aquarius, and with the changes of Moon and Sun, with earth's influence coming to the present plane, we find these afflictions come when the Saturn's influence is in either the Moon or Sun's sign of the entity, when not assisted in Jupiter or Mercury forces. Hence we find in the plane's existence at present the inner desire of the body often to seek the things of the earth's production, both in mineral, animal and vegetable kingdoms, and one prone to speculate in same when in the Mercury sign with Mars, and with the present forces being exhibited in the earth's plane will in the present year bring much of the corruptible goods of the earth into this entity's scope and plane, with larger financial gains. Use these well, else they will be to the destruction of the soul and spirit elements. This will happen in the late summer or early fall, between August 20th and September 22nd.
4. In the influences then as these conditions have and do bring in the present plane, without reference to will:
5. One prone to give way to fits of temper, yet governing same oftentimes.
6. One prone to resort to drastic means to gain its purpose,
4151-2 Page 2
and desiring to resort to the use of firearms or force. In this phase we find this tempered often by the genii [Gemini?] influence in the Sun.
7. One that brings much pleasure to those in Venus, and in the Pisces sign, yet one who becomes radical in the views regarding those of the Venus influence, or one radical in love and affection, often bestowing same where it is not returned. Again neglecting that it should give.
8. One whose forces in the present sphere lie in its ability to give of the forces of self in the application of those of the nature that builds to those things where minutia and detail is necessary, for with Neptune's influence many things under these hands, seemingly, turn into the correct channel through unseen forces. This also often tempering the Mars influence in Saturn when the inclination is to be radical.
9. One whose influence among men, when tempered, is good.
10. One having many friends and many enemies.
11. In that of the will as applied with these inclinations as given, there have been instances when will has been used in improper manner. These are specific, and are known to this entity, and is his own private experiences, not known to all.
12. In appearances, we find these have been in the way and force that has brought much change in the entity as a whole.
13. In the plane before this we find in that of the reign of the common people in the Isles, and the forces then were in connection with some of those whom the entity is at present surrounded, for this entity then was in the rank and file of the soldier, known then as Enoch Oswald. In the entity's personality from this plane, we find that brought forward of the ready to command and obey command of superiors, yet questioning afterward as is brought forward from the plane before this, which was in the Grecian forces, when the rule was divided, and the study of the human element and resistance was at its height, and in that plane we find the entity in that of one in the reign of the ruler, as is found in Poxian, and the personality as exhibited, as is given; the reasoning of the entity going deep into minutia of every phase of a subject, and in the one before this we find in the land of the Isles that now lie far in the South, in the Australian forces, and then we find in the country where the Bushmen were first met by the peoples that came from the land of the Atlantis, and the entity's forces as now manifest is stature, and the rule as is exhibited in the present life.
