In that as is seen in the mental - the body above, or a
tendency toward the application of the mind, the STUDY of
mind, the ANALYTICAL mind, the endeavoring of SEPARATION of
mind. Hence, especially does the body find self interested
in the present experience in psychological,
psychoanalytical, subjects - and WELL may it be applied in a
proper way and manner, keeping self open for that influence
as is seen in the Jupiterian forces, as WELL as that in the
influence of Venus; for with the high ennobling influence as
may be attained in Jupiterian influence, the mental
development may be made useful - while with purely the mental
attributes of the Mercurian, as well as that of Aries, may
bring destructive influences IN the life as respecting the
body becoming one-track, one influence, and a THEORETICAL and
not a real, applicable, workable, influence in a material
world.
In the application of will as respecting this condition,
with influences in that of the active forces from the occult,
there may be seen - without a balance - the body may be often
(as it is, at times) misjudged by associates, connections,
and those related in active, material demonstrations of
mental proclivities of a body - considered RADICAL, and even
radical to the extent of not being practical.
In the influences then as are seen on the body as respecting
environmental and hereditary conditions (as usually
considered), will the body take stock MENTALLY of self's own
abilities, these will become evident to the mental
development OF the body. Not wholly does the inclination
adhere to either environmental or hereidtary environment of
the present experience. Then seek - From what source then
arises this desire of such an ANALYTICAL desire in the
present experience? Then there may be seen - from the
application of past EXPERIENCES, as applied TO the present
experience - a basis of consideration, at least.
As to the personality as manifested before associates in
the present:
One particular of detail; yet not TOO particular, in the
sense of being in the position of old-maidish - as might be
termed - yet this is often applied to the activities of
those whose minds stretch in other directions.
One loved - and loving the open.
One appreciating the beautiful, whether in nature as
pertaining to nature or in man's attempt to copy nature, and
WELL would have been the body - from the MATERIAL standpoint
- in the application of self to architectural designing, or
of architectural structure - whether as applied to building
or of the essence of things from which such drawings may be
made.
As to the application of the forces as are latent - these
may be best be seen in the former appearances:
In the one then before this we find in that period known as
mythological, when there were wars among the Trojans - and
the entity then among those that were in accord with those
that would defeat the peoples gathered at the gate, and to
Achilles did the entity report, and to him many were the
counsels given and taken. In the name Tischol. The entity
gained and lost through this experience. Gained through the
application of self as respecting the interests of others.
Lost through aggrandizing the power to which the entity
arose; for while suffering may bring understanding, CAUSING
to suffer to satisfy one's own self brings reproach. Hence
in the present experience there is ever the urge by the
entity, to others and for self, Be True to Self in such a
manner as to not bring reproach from others, and most of all
from self. In the application of this may the entity, [
204],
find a deeper thought - in that it is SELF'S EXPERIENCE being
latent, yet seeking expression and expansion in the present
experience.
In the one before this we find in the land now known as
Persia. The entity then among those who assisted in the
defense of the king called the Wonderful. The entity then
in the name Jdjil, and the keeper of records to that ruler,
and put in bondage by those that overran the country from
the plain. Then under Croesus did the entity take counsel,
and unto him did the entity remain faithful. Hence in the
present experience the entity finds self often galling under
oppresion under those that would govern or rule, yet finds
in SELF the best answer - of being faithful to that highest,
that noblest, in self's own endeavors.
In the one before this we find in that land now known as
Egypt. In the period when there was dissension, and when
the priest as was banished was brought back to power, and
there was the gaining of knowledge through the establishing
of that portion of the rule where there was the dissemination
of truths as proclaimed by the seers, by the rulers, by the
priest of the period. The entity then as Aaich, went as the
interpreter of such knowledge to the layman, both of the
native and the foreign in the land. Hence in the present
experience the entity finds that of dissemination of know-
ledge, of truth, of understanding, the greater effort to be
put forth by self. Hence, as the teacher, the lecturer, the
interpreter of that which IS knowledge, that which may be
applied - NOT as theory, but as PRACTICAL - is that TO which
the entity should, will, attain the greater in the present
experience.
Keep faith, then, in self, - and in Him that gave First
Know Self, and in that knowledge gain the understanding of
the relation of the Creative Energy to that created, and how
that created is a portion of the Creator in just so far as
the SPIRIT or LIFE OF the created and Creator are in accord.
KEEP FAITH with self and those whom the entity may assist -
especially of the household of that ruler in the Arian land.
[Aryan-Iran?]
As to the abilities and the application of same these
are in keeping WITH that as given. We are through for
the present.
