1. EC: (Going back over years to date of birth - "[5463]. Ought to have been Martin!")
2. We have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the entity now called [5463].
3. In entering we find the influences in those of the astrological nature from sojourns, also from the forces of the zodiacal signs - coming, then, in Aquarius' and Pisces' influence, with the Moon also. The astrological in Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, and those in Uranus.
4. That, then, which may be the active for development, is that which is applied or used by the entity as related to that builded through those influences, and the application of self in the present to that builded in its environs and surroundings, plus that which is the ideal of the entity.
5. We find, then, irrespective of that which has been builded, these as influences in the present experience of the entity:
6. One of a keen MENTAL ability.
7. One that is capable in details and the like, yet these things often WORRY the body (would one listen at the voices OF the body respecting its activities!).
8. Those influences in Aquarius and Pisces make for those periods when the body is unlike its normal self; not that as may be called sprees, but as sprees in the directions of the mental attitudes assumed or taken. Most often the body blames another, yet the real blame is often felt most within self for self's allowing such conditions to arise in the experience - and declares and avers that it will not be again; but it does!
9. From those influences builded in Jupiter and Mars, we find the executive abilities in the direction of organization that requires detail, or that as respecting
5463-1 Page 2
CLASSIFICATIONS - and that deals with individuals, as well as with things. While to the entity, INNATELY, those of individuals RATHER than things are the INTERESTING things in life, the EFFECT that is had upon individuals by reactions in the experience of individuals, through various lines or endeavors, is of interest. Hence the entity should be, or could be, a politician - and in those fields where executive forces, as well as some active force of self is required, in data or records, or the like, would be - or would have been well; or in any field where there is the reaction of individuals upon those of facts AND figures, these are the fields of endeavor; OR where public policy, public reaction, GROUP and CLASS reaction, these are the fields that are of the greater interest; as also those of ferreting out UNSEEN, or those of ferreting out problems that are hard to understand - this is the characterization that influences the entity, or is LIKED by the entity, especially, in the READING matter.
10. Those influences that will come in Mars and in Uranus:
11. Mars' influences have made for those little differences that have arisen in the experience of the entity, when LITTLE differences between individuals have grown in sudden heat or activity as to CHANGE the whole experience in the affairs of the entity in the present. This has occurred some once or twice; more in the younger days than in the present, though - as we find - if the entity allows same, this will occur again in April or May. Keep even tempered, then, and even minded. Do not be overwrought. But, should changes come about - then rather seek in those fields of the political, than in those of the commercial.
12. Those influences form Uranus will be most active or effective in the life. These, as we find, will be in or through the next two or three years. WERE the entity to associate self, or to consider SERIOUSLY the research into such fields (as it has in others) that influence individuals, groups, or peoples' lives, the entity could become a real executive in such an undertaking also; for THIS has, as we see, also much to do with policies, or feelings, or reactions of individuals or groups, or the like - see?
13. These reactions, then, as we find, come also from those effects from the appearances in the present, as well as from those in the past in the earth that influence in the present; as:
14. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the settlings of those lands in and about Providence and Newport town. The entity then among those, (and with
5463-1 Page 3
that of Rogers) that settled among these places, and was an associate of - and took the name of - Rogers. In this experience the entity gained much in the manner and way of service through this period, for many patterned after those activities of the entity in that period; yet not a satisfactory experience TO the entity within itself. Hence such a VARIED career in many respects that has been experienced in the present. The influence that arises from same is that of the executive ability, as well as the interest in politics, individuals or groups, or classes or masses - and that which influences them, rather than wholly of a commercial nature in which the entity HAS had, or has taken, interests.
15. In the one then before this we find during those periods when there was considerable change in the attitude of the peoples, as related to the reactions to the religious life. During that period when Constantine made such an alteration in the activities of those peoples in the city of the hills. The entity then among those of the leaders of the groups that for the time resisted those forces that were set in motion by Constantine. The ENTITY then in the name Glardioun, and of the SOLDIERY portion of the peoples at the time; gaining much, losing much, through the experience. Gaining in the service that was rendered in attempting to illustrate or manifest that as felt SINCERELY by the entity, yet losing in that - though sincerity may be manifest, the ideal may be wrong. But sincerity stands for its own development. Losing in losing faith in self, in that attempted. Then this reaction brought about the general debilitation of the physical AND mental resistances of the entity. In the present we find an entity CAPABLE, WILLING, HIGH-MINDED, EXPERIENCED; yet OFTENTIMES too easily does the entity become discouraged. KNOW in what thou hast believed, and KNOW that it is faithful to keep that it has promised. KNOW the ideal that the entity would attain to. SET the standard beyond that which self may reach, but which self - OR others - may PATTERN after.
16. In the one then before this we find in that period now known as, or called, the Egyptian forces, and during those periods when there was the rebuilding of that as had been attempted - that was halted by the rebellions and the casting out of the priest who led. In the return, the entity was then among those who aided in the ministry of those that became missionaries, emissaries, or as - what would be termed - the MINISTER of communications, both in the commercial and the spiritual; as well as the mental truths - which passed through those considerations of the
5463-1 Page 4
entity in that period, in the name Ra-Hil-Eli. In this experience the entity gained MUCH throughout, and AIDED much in the ministry to others. In and from this experience comes the interest in those of the psychic or occult forces, and those influences that pertain to the matter of form - that makes for the influence that PRODUCES in self a good detail active force.
17. In the abilities then, of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain:
18. As has been given, in those fields as executive forces that deal with individuals and their reactions; or in those fields of a political nature, that deals with individuals and that produced in their lives by the reaction of others; or, with the turn about - with the expressions as may be seen - the study in another field entirely, or the combination of these, may bring for the entity that of the greater development in the present. KNOW the standards, and thine OWN standard, thine OWN ideal, making sure that this ideal of self is of the continuity of life and life's experiences; for through same does the soul find that which will bring it (the soul) in association, companionship, understanding, knowledge, of its source - or its Creator. BE a mighty one in power, yes; not as an oppressor, nor be afraid of oppression.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) For what are my capabilities best suited? (A) In that that deals with policies that are produced by reactions. These are the best fields of endeavors for the entity - see? and whether in that of the political (which may be expressed through productions) or that as pertains to occult, or mystic, or the forces that deal with the hidden or innate side of life - THESE, and these characters of influence, are best for the entity to interest self in.
21. (Q) What is my present financial outlook for this coming year, 1932 - and 1933? (A) Changes, as we find, should come; not only in the FINANCIAL direction (for betterments), but also in the mental and spiritual development, for the next two to three years.
22. (Q) What is the financial outlook for this country in 1932 and 1933? (A) There will be, as we find, after the 25th of April, a tendency towards that of an OPENING UP of the financial aids to the country. There will be in the next year that of an awakening from a further depression, from the fall - or the reactions in many fields. The whole recurrence in the country, as we find, will be near to that of a normal

status, as of '98, or '90 - or even of '25, 6 and 7 - by '35, '36, '38.
