1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe, that make for the personalities in the entity now known as [5569].
2. In entering the present experience we find astrologically the entity coming under those influences in Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Neptune. In that which is builded as the personality in the present experience, much that is indicated from those appearances in the influences in the astrological sense are manifested in the present experience. That which alters same is the application of an entity towards experiences in any sphere as related to the ideals that are taken or accepted by an entity through any given experience. Then, in the present we have those as personalities and individualities, as their relationship to the whole. In the present we find as in these:
3. The Venus influence brings those abilities in the love influence and its activities towards those relationships in the present experience, as well as that which is magnified as the ideal as respecting such relationships; whether these be physical, mental or material.
4. The influences in Jupiter are for the experience of a wide variation in the experiences, and the relationships with those in the varied walks of life, that make for those changes or alterations as to the will's activity respecting such conditions arising in the present experience of the entity, as an experience - or as an opportunity, or a passing fancy. These also give much of the abilities of the entity in the present, plus those relationships in Neptune, which make for those of the occult or innate influence, in which the entity - through its own mental and spiritual experience - may give those applications of influences in peoples' lives or individuals' lives, as related to mental or material gifts, mental or material or spiritual aspects of individuals' lives, and their reaction to same. Hence
5569-1 Page 2
the entity may make for itself in the present a channel of information for others, in their relationships to their material or mental, or physical experiences, or associations with individuals, groups, or the like. These may be acted upon by the will of the entity in its abilities to close itself to that that may occur from the physical surroundings, and listen to the experiences that may arise from within self through the psychic or spiritual, or soul, or mental forces of the entity in itself. These periods in the entity's experience have in the past been in the year or two years that have just passed, and will be magnified in a greater way and manner beginning in the latter portion of the present year, when those influences in Neptune - with Jupiter AND Venus - make a greater influence in the affairs of individuals who are under those influences astrologically in the earth's plane; for, as these are oft at an at-varience with the influence upon individuals influenced in Uranus, these make for conflicting appearances or feelings in the individual through such periods that these astrologically influence or affect people the most. Be well to get this straight and know what it means!
5. In those influences that we find in Mercury, these bring those MENTAL abilities of the entity, and the adaptability of the entity to the various experiences through which the entity may pass. Oftentimes the entity may be misjudged by others through the ability of the MENTAL forces to give the entity itself an insight into conditions, surroundings, individuals, associations, and the like, that is not perceptible to others - though they may be in the same environ as the entity. Hence the entity may be often called peculiar in its likes and dislikes, or the ability to form or change judgments as respecting individuals' activities under strain or stress - when others would not see a change or a variance in individuals' activities in or under such conditions. Hence the entity - through the mental, through the Neptune influences, through the Jupiter influences - is one that would make an excellent psychiatrist, or psychoanalyst, or one who might aid individuals in making for themselves those determinate forces that may be ideals in their lives; yet the entity must be idealistic and have its OWN ideal, and be governed and directed BY same - or MEASURE its experiences and its standards for others BY that ideal. This, then, is an influence that may be used for good or for bad, dependent upon that which is the ideal. If this is made that which gives continuity of life itself, of the SPIRITUAL aspect rather than of the mental or material aspect, then it may be used for good. The entity may also
5569-1 Page 3
be said to be one GIFTED, or endowed, or has BUILDED within the experience, so that it may read handwriting, or read the physiognomy of individuals and their expressions - more than the words of the individuals themselves. This often, though, becomes confusing to the entity, for the reason that the ideals of individuals or persons are not ALWAYS the same as the entity's.
6. In the appearances and the effect these have had, do have, upon the present personality and individuality of the entity:
7. In the one then before this we find in the land of the present nativity, yet on the opposite side of such lands, and in that environ known as about Salem, and about those periods when there were those mis-conceptions, mis-understandings of individuals' activity as respecting those influences that motivated the activities of individuals through that particular period. The entity then among those who were persecuted for their activities, for the giving of those influences in the lives of individuals that altered or changed their mode of life or activity, and OFT was the entity dipped - and ONCE stocked - for that the entity carried on. In the name Blake, and there may still be found some records of the activity of the entity in that experience about Salem. Especially are these in the basement of the church in Salem that persecuted those peoples. Hence after the experience the entity journeyed afar, and innately and manifestedly have there been in the present those varied experiences concerning individuals' activities in the relationships of those who claimed for themselves power; whether of the layman, of the minister, of the preacher, or the teacher. EVER does the entity INNATELY, at times MANIFESTEDLY, QUESTION abilities of those to see, hear, know, understand, explain, that they CLAIM to believe. Not that the entity is one that may be termed wishy-washy, or changeable in its own ideal once set; the entity has in the present oft changed its ideal, to be sure, but from environ and circumstance rather than that innately felt.
8. In the experience then before this (that influences in the present) we find during those periods in the Grecian developments, when there were those understandings of the peoples as respecting the new thought as pertaining to the gratification of the flesh for the moment, rather than preparing for that that may be of the unseen, or the active forces that come from WITHOUT individuals. As the entity developed through this period, gains came for the entity; for with the aggrandizing of the innate and selfish motives
5569-1 Page 4
came the understandings that that from WITHIN brings rather that which makes for contentment, than the satisfying of that for the moment. The entity then BEAUTIFUL of figure, beautiful of person, and gained many an audience through the ABILITIES of the entity to attract in this way and manner; yet the entity used same through the experience to give a better understanding to those (after it had received same itself), than in that as it was oft accused of. This brought sorrow in the latter portion of the experience, yet the entity may be said to have developed throughout the experience. In the name Seiyna.
9. In the experience before this, there in those lands when those peoples were banished. The entity became the helpmeet for that guard, or messenger of the priest in that period. The entity then, though young in years, became a power through the abilities developed by the entity in that experience. With the return to the power of the priest and associates, the entity gradually rose to a place of not only prominence outwardly, but many of those in the correlating of the ideas and ideals of the peoples, as to their relationships one to another, were dependent upon the activities of the entity in that experience; ESPECIALLY in the compiling of same to distribute to others that were being brought under the influence of the teachings of that peoples. The entity in the name El-Pt-Ar. In this experience the entity gained in the latter portion of same, losing only in those periods when sent as a missionary or as an emissary - in the establishing of those truths in other lands, and the entity turned many aside by the PHYSICAL attributes rather than the mental and SPIRITUAL lessons that were taught by the entity and those the entity represented. In this the entity failed. In the present there may be seen many of the abilities of the entity that are innate, that made for the activities or the experiences of the entity through the spheres outside of the earth in the developments through same, and the entrance into the earth's plane as material manifestations that may be brought to others through the application of that innately and manifestedly in the experience of the entity.
10. In the abilities and that to which it may attain in the present, and how:
11. Many and varied are the abilities of the entity. In the manner of developing them, as expressed, once know its OWN ideal, irrespective of what others - or conditions, or circumstances - may bring to bear on same. Then there will be prepared the way - through that development within self, and its source of supply from the sources that make for life
5569-1 Page 5
and its continuity, through not only the earth but throughout the spheres of the universe - so that the entity may give to others that advice, that counsel, that hope, that faith, that understanding that will make for the staid and staying influence in their RESPECTIVE sphere of activity. "Judge not that ye be not judged." The warnings that would come from the experiences of the entity, and that that may develop in the physical and the material forces: Beware of contacts and surroundings that would expose the entity to those things that would affect the lungs, or physical forces of the body, or to those that affect the respiratory system in any of its activities; for the entity is not only super-sensitive in the physical attributes, but in the mental and spiritual as well.
12. KNOW in what, in whom, thou believest. KNOW that which is being manifested within self shows forth that love, that power, that will keep inviolate the self against all the fiery darts of the wicked forces that may be set under any circumstance or experience. Faint not because others accuse, either falsely or through mis-understandings. Keep thine own heart pure, thine purposes and aims upright, thy trust, thy hope, in HIM - who IS the life, the light - who came as the form, in the form, of the attributes of man, that You - others - all - MAY have that advocate with the Father, that is sure - in Him! Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What were the entity's relations with her present husband in past incarnations? (A) One persecuted by the husband, in the appearance before this. One closely associated and aided in the Egyptian experience.
14. (Q) How many appearances prior to the Egyptian has the entity had? and where? (A) These, as we find, are quite a few - yet not affecting materially those influences that may be manifested in the PRESENT application of that which has been and is builded in the experience of the entity; for we find in Atlantis - twice; in that of Lutni [?], or Ohum [?] [Aymaras?], once. In those of the first EXPERIENCES in the Mongoloid those would come the nearest, yet these are as visions - NOT as experiences in the present.
15. (Q) Have the visions or dreams the entity had on several occasions been true remembrances of incidents in past incarnations? (A) These, as we find, are oft. Remember that promise that was given, "If I go away, the Spirit of Truth will come - which will bring to your remembrance all those things necessary for thine own understanding."
