1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the 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, 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 here, and those relations with the Universe and Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find the entity coming under the influence of Jupiter, Mercury, and of Neptune, with those influences from Venus and Uranus. Hence we find, irrespective of will forces, these influences in the present life, and many of these urges are seen as latent, as well as the influences in the urge from the experiences in the earth's plane.
4. One, then, given to ever do good to others.
5. One that always prefers others before self.
6. One that has the high ennobling influence on the life of others.
7. One given to good works toward others.
8. One that finds the greater conditions in life being in that of being of help and assistance to others.
9. High minded to a fault.
10. One that loves to see the greater influence of good in the lives of those whom the entity contacts, disliking any little, mean, petty, conditions.
11. One given to the love of games, of sports, of any condition requiring the mental abilities of the individual.
12. One that, with the will forces applied in the life, brings such conditions to others.
13. Without the application of will's force within self, gives that impression of the opposite conditions in own
5618-8 Page 2
life, with the responding effect to those dependent upon the entity.
14. One that will find that in the giving of the opportunity to express individuality would go far in giving others the opportunity of manifesting the expression of love.
15. As to the influences as are seen, irrespective of the will as applied in the present existence:
16. One that has often, under the influence of the Pisces, brought to self those of the eccentric forces as not understood by others, reaping same in self's action as the aggrandizement of the weaknesses in the flesh.
17. One that will find that the application of those influences in Jupiter and in Uranus will, in the present year, near the date October 21st, bring the greatest opportunities for good in the present existence, will the entity apply will forces in carrying out that as is presented at that time, for near then we find Uranus and Jupiter in the square to each other, and there will be exceptional conditions in the earth's plane through the influence of that in the lives of those in the earth plane whose sojourn has been in Jupiter and Uranus. Uranus, then being in the square to Jupiter, brings both the exceptional GOOD and the abilities to apply same. Take advantage of same!
18. In that of the appearances, we find as these, for their influences in the present existence brings much of those of urges and influences in the present existence:
19. In the one before this we find the entity then in power, in the rule as in that known as France, and in that as of the entity then known as Louis 16th, and the entity gained through the oppression to the entity and those about same, losing in that of the ability to apply OWN will with reference to good of others. Hence we see the two combating influences in the present as an urge. One that loves those of the intrinsic conditions as respecting detail in any mechanical devices, and the entity would have made a wonderful clock repairer, or clocksmith. The entity finds also that urge as pertains to those of medicine, and of mechano-therapy, as was first given then by this entity during the sojourn in the earth's plane.
20. In the one before this we find in that of the entity Romulus, who assisted in the building of that now known as Rome, and the entity lost and gained in that period, for in the labors there came success, and in success came self-aggrandizement, which gave to the entity that of the oppression to others. In the present urge we find the entity not able to countenance, stand, or bear, oppression in any
5618-8 Page 3
manner or form, whether in the animal, mineral or vegetable kingdom.
21. In the one before this we find in the days when the building of the city that will soon be discovered in the plains of Araby. The entity then in the name Obdieugoan, and the entity gained in that period for the service to the peoples in that plane, in the assistance given to suffering in body and in mind, for those were those conditions that, in the present urge, gave to the entity (as in the dream which came to the entity in the present plane) that of the application of self to that of medicine for the afflicted, and as same was builded in the mental, so came the expression in applying same, so would be found that as of expressing same through the continuation of same.
22. In the one before this we find in that land when the Tower was being builded to the heavens. The entity then among those who labored in that as of the building in that of the mental, rather than of the physical, for then, as the leader, the entity gave that of the help to those who labored, in giving that as to WHY the building was being made. Then in the name Ouiael, and the entity gained in that experience in the efforts of the help to those peoples, yet was submerged through those who rose as chiefs above same. In the urge as is seen, the desire to see many of the casts of ideas expressed in forms of material nature, and the study of same is ever interesting to the entity. Hence we find the entity would have made a good sculptor.
23. In the one before this we find in those days when the division came in that land known as the Egyptian. The entity then in that position as the counsellor to the council, and as the sage to those who would bring together those of the stores for the preservation of the lives of those dependent upon the peoples, as the ruler saw fit. Hence we find, under the entity's rule or guidance, first there came into the land that as of a place of succor for the unfortunate, in mind, body, or purse. In the name Didois, and the rule brought much troubles to the entity, for neither could claim the entity as siding with church or state. In that urge is seen that through which the entity may accomplish in the present earth's plane, in bringing together those who labored in that plane, and build again that which would be succor, aid and strength in mind, body, and in the Spirit build to the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, for in the accomplishment of good self must first be conquered and put in submission to the Will of the Giver, the Omnipotent Force as is manifested through the various phases of those experiences through which the entity has
5618-8 Page 4
reached, does reach, will reach, that plane in which the Oneness in Him is made One with Him, the ALL.
24. Then, apply self in THAT direction, for in Him is the Light, and the Light is the Light of the World, for the giving of self in service is lending to the Maker.
25. We are through.
