In Jupiter brings, with the mental, those abilities of a
large scope, or the adaptability of the entity to many varied
relations, many varied circumstances. And, in the main,
bringing experiences where others make the entity, not as a
clearing house of their own thought but rather depending upon
the entity in judgements, counsels, advice, in their
relationships as one to another, rather than as things or to
things.
This makes those conditions that bring harmony in the
entity's experience at present, as well as periods when there
is a great deal of doubt on the part of self as to ability in
these directions.
In Venus we find rather that character of influence that
deals with the patience of the entity in the present, when
there is thought or time taken for the adapting of self in
this direction. Rather than being an innate influence, it
is one builded from a sojourn in Venus; from those influences
as to that which is of the nature of duty or privilege, as
related to the activities in such conditions, pertaining to
individuals.
In Saturn we find that of a finishing, or determinations
without being hard-headed. In most individuals such
experiences make for determinations such as classifying them
among those that are hard-headed, or determined without the
thought or consideration of others. Yet, in this entity's
experience, being tempered with Jupiter and Mercury, the
determination is rather balanced by circumstance; yet never
losing sight of the idea or ideal, and weighed well with
judgment.
Hence we find the influences as innate from astrological
influence or sojourn, and altered according to the will of
the entity itself in the material experiences:
One of high mental abilities.
One capable of adapting self to the circumstances and
conditions that may force, or be forced upon, the experience
of the entity; yet rarely does the entity do penance for self
for penance sake.
One that, with the relationships, makes for friendships that
are lasting; whether those that deal with things, with
peoples, with circumstance, or with some particular thought.
One that does NOT USE friendships, or ABUSE them; rather in
the relationships that may be experienced by the entity.
One whose judgment and counsel is worthy of consideration by
those whom the entity may contact from period to period.
As to the appearances, then, and those that influence the
entity in the material experiences in the present:
In the one before this, we find the entity was in that land
known as the French, yet not wholly considered of that
peoples, but rather one of an English peoples that settled or
lived (the entity lived) in the French environ, during those
periods of the Louis's - in 14th and 15th.
The entity in that experience was among those associated
with the peoples in power in diplomatic relationships, as
well as in the social relations that were brought about by
the environ and experiences of the entity in that appearance,
in the name Marcelia.
In the experience the entity gained and lost; gained through
those efforts in attempting to keep an even balance of self
and those with and to whom the entity was related; losing in
holding grudges against those that - to the entity -
disobeyed or took no thought of the material relationships or
social activities in the experience.
Hence, in the present, the ability - when not watching self -
to, and tendency to, hold grudges against those with whom the
entity - in material things - differs, as to the mental or
social activities of individuals.
Before this we find the entity was in that experience among
the Persian peoples that were overrun by the nomads, when
there was the establishing of the relationships of the
teacher in the Persian land.
The entity was among those that were taken captive, and
among those spared to later return to those peoples that
were established as teachings, healings. And, when the city
began to take shape in PERMANENT activities, the entity was
among those that were of the teachers and ministers that came
to the city for aid, through the teachings of the leader in
that land.
While suffering in body and mind (in the earthly experiences)
in captivity, the entity gained throughout the period; for
the lending of self in succor, aid, teaching, ministering to
those weak in body, distressed in mind, brought contentment,
peace, harmony, happiness to the entity in the experience,
then in the name Vestal.
In the present there is the DOUBLE-urge that is manifest in
the material activities of the body: The INNATE interests
in those forces that pertain to the intuitional or psychic
influences in the activities of the body. And as related to
ministering to the ills of others, and to the abilities of
instruction - as from mental forces, or mental proclivities
and activities of others.
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known
as the Egyptian, during those periods when there was the
establishing of the uprisings in mental, in material, in
spiritual relationships of the peoples, after the return
of the priest to the land.
The entity then was among those who returned with the priest
to the land, and became associated in the Temple Beautiful in
the services of the sacrifices that were offered there, as
pertaining to the physical development by the banishment of
those activities that in the PRESENT are called mental
thoughts, but that HAD in that experience those activities or
manifestations in the FORMS of man AND animal activity in the
flesh.
Then the entity was not only of the temple service
activity, but also ministered in the service as pertained to
the music that was made for the altar, and the sacrificial
services in the temple.
This made for a development for the entity, in the name
Lillithepth.
In the present, the ROTE of service - the RHYTHM of service,
as pertains to religious thought or nature, arises from that
experience; and there are periods when, either in music or in
HUMMING - when alone, there arises in self's INNER being the
thoughts or FEELINGS of being SURROUNDED by other influences
as from the shedding of those conditions in the temple
service.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that
to which it may attain - and how:
Through the application of self, through those relationships
as developed mental and physical and material in the earth's
experiences, are seen those activities that become most
appealing to the entity - from natural and supernatural
causes - in the present.
When these are kept in accord with the developments toward
constructive or creative, or spiritual, or GOD directed
forces, then development, harmony, PEACE, comes.
Keep, then, rather in those activities; that they may bring
to self, to associates, to relationships, that which may ever
make for growing in grace, in knowledge, in understanding -
and putting ON the whole ARMOR of the Lord.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Am I doing the work that I should do in the place that
I should be?
(A) In the ACCEPTED thought, as we have just outlined, that
the entity adapts self to conditions, to environs, and does
take advantage of opportunities WITHOUT taking advantage of
friendships.
Then, these will work together for the best. Keep on.
(Q) Am I too indifferent about making decisions or do I take
the line of least resistance and accept a situation because
it appears to be the only way?
(A) As given, hew to that line - rather - wherein there is
known to be constructive influences or creative activities;
whether this BECOMES the line of least resistance or the
necessary using of that determination that is innately and
manifestedly set in self to carry on.
The CARRYING ON is the development. He that would shirk a
responsibility becomes the backslider.
(Q) Am I too easily satisfied with my school? Should I make
more effort to build it up by soliciting or other business
methods?
(A) As the conditions and circumstances, and as the
developments come to self along the lines of thought that
may be gained by self from the study of self through the
various relationships as presented here, the how, the why,
and the way to build it up WILL be presented.
We are through for the present.
