TEXT

1. GC: You will give a horoscope reading for this entity, a reading giving the effect of the solar systems on the life and destiny of this entity in the present earth plane, naming the planet, or position, from which the soul took its last flight. You will give the vocation in life for which this body is most adapted, or may adapt itself, giving also the high points in the life of former appearances, giving the name and place of sojourn on the earth plane, with the characteristics as brought forward in the personality in the present life.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the entity, the conditions as have been created, the conditions irrespective of the will force in the present earth plane.
3. In this we find, with the influences of the solar systems, there are many elements that enter to make this rather an exceptional entity in the present earth plane, for at the time of the birth, (though the soul took its flight from Mercury, and this brings especially vivid understandings in a material world of definite conditions) there were so many influences in the house of birth that the body partakes of those influences that were experienced in other spheres and planes, and brings them to the present earth's forces and may, with the knowledge and understanding, be able to manifest many of the unseen forces in the earth's plane. These special influences being Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter, Venus. These all bring extraordinary vivid conditions, yet with the mental forces, especially in the conditions of Mercury, this gives exceptional forces to the entity in many respects. Also we find the Sun and Arcturus, the greater Sun, giving of the strength in mental and spiritual elements toward developing of soul and of the attributes toward the better forces in earth's spheres. This brings, especially, the conditions of these characters:
4. One that is exceptional in many ways, manners and faculties, especially in those of mental forces having great vision in every direction, especially those of the unseen elements, bringing then much psychic and occult forces to the body.
5. The highest conception of all domestic relations, the highest conceptions of honor. The highest conceptions of respect. The highest conceptions in every relation in friendship and in every element relating to others.
6. This brings the forces that gives the greater elements in the life, yet with the undue influence by the Moon's forces, when square to Saturn and Mars, brings doubts within the body's mental forces. In will's realm then must the entity bring the better forces when such conditions arise.
7. We find one then, without respect of will, as this:
8. The natural inclination to excel in every way. Not just as good but better than the best; not with the desire to lord over others, yet not censuring other in their weakness.
9. One that with the physical in subjection tends to be mystic and visionary to others, and brings often at such times questions from those that would be closely associated with the body. Hence one that should give special attention to the physical body, that the indwelling of the forces manifested through the spirit, soul and body of the body, should be manifested well for the Maker's realm.
10. One that should understand much of the spiritual forces, that the physical may manifest the more perfect in the flesh.
11. One that would do well, with the physical and material, in the business of construction or building materials, and of this nature better than of speculative natures.
12. One that should give much time, attention, and study, to the mystic and occult and psychic forces through the spiritual elements.
13. One that will go far in will's manifested forces in that direction, to give light to many peoples.
14. As to appearances, we find only three: yet in that element wherein the physical, mental and soul has developed toward the mark of higher calling, as set in Him.
15. Just before this, we find in the days when the Master came into the Promised Land. This entity one that followed close in the ways of the teachings as set by Him. In the personage of the brother in the flesh, Jude. [GD's note: 5/12/29 See 137-121, Par. 5-A, elaborating on [137]'s life as Jude.]
16. In the one before this, we find in that of the one calling the chosen people from the Assyrian lands to the building again of the walls of the Holy City, and this entity in that of the armor bearer for Ezekiel.
17. In that before this, we find in the days when the Sons of God came together to reason in the elements as to the appearance of Man in physical on earth's plane, and this entity was among those chosen as the messenger to all the realm. The personalities as exhibited in the present plane from these:
18. In the first, that of the leniency toward all laws concerning every mode of worship to Jehovah, and of the respect to every entity's own belief.
19. From one before that, the desire for every condition to be perfect before attempting to build upon any foundation.
20. From the first, that of the innate forces of the love of the beautiful.
21. We are through for the present.
