TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [445].
2. In giving that which we find may be helpful in the entity's experience in the present, we may approach this both from the astrological and the numerological influences that have been and are in the experience of the entity. For, from each of these manners of approach may there be seen periods of influence in the activities of the entity, mental, physical or material, and spiritual, in the present experience. While, the sojourns in planetary influences make for urges, the divisions of the activity in the earth's plane specifically in three periods of definite change, definite activity, are seen from the astrological as related to the numerological aspects in the experience.
3. As to the astrological, we find Jupiter the ruling influence in the greater portion of the urges in the activities, with Mercury complimentary or in a sojourn between earth's activities. Hence we find these as urges:
4. The aspirations in many respects at some period or another in the experience been gratified to a greater or lesser degree; at least in a sufficient manner for the entity to know by introspection that which has been purposefully desired in the activities has had the opportunity for the action in such relationships.
5. Hence, with the high mental development through the Mercurian influence, the abilities have not only influenced individual activity but have had much to do with influencing the lives and activities of groups and of masses in their relationships to the activity of life in their individual experiences. Hence the forces applied in the urge have made for practical experiences in action in the earth's sojourn in the present. Certain influences have made for periods when changes have come through the numerological aspects of being an individual working on or presenting new fields of labor, new fields of thought or activity in the experiences of others. While all have not succeeded in the manners in which the entity had been hopeful of, the greater portion of these will be found to have been hindrances only for those who were born in the earlier portion of January or latter portions of December, of years or activities of individuals. This is judged both from the numerological and astrological aspects in the experience of the entity now known as [445], or - in the change - Ella, and some name, [...].
6. As to the influences from sojourns in the earth, that comes more as urges in the activity, the appearances in the earth have been many and varied in their relationships in the entity's experience; yet - as may be seen - the greater portion of these has dealt with influences where developments have been maintained in the experience of the entity. And in the present many an influence has come from forces of unseen natures in many experiences that have to the entity been activities in the everyday act of the entity.
7. Hence a highly developed soul that has measured or meted to many that of the counsel in such measures as to have become one to whom many have come - and upon whom many have depended - for counsel, for advice, for the lightening of the burdens of themselves, in the school of experience of the entity.
8. Then, as to the former appearances that influence most the present life:
9. Before this we find the entity was during those periods of change through the revolutionary influences in the land of the entity's present nativity.
10. Then the entity was among the people in a particular section or portion that lent aid in bringing strengthening of the moral courage of those in that period. The entity's name was Ross, and made for that which not only carried the influences created by the activities of moral courage but also the high ideals for the moral courage and stamina created in the mental experiences and lives of the individuals whom the entity contacted in the experience.
11. Throughout the experiences of the present entity there have been those urges for the purposefulness of experience, as well as the ideals that must be maintained in the moral, the mental and spiritual life of those that would use themselves or be used in a service to others.
12. Hence, as may be well said of the entity in the present, it is spending a life, an experience, an activity, in the service of others. Hence it can only reap the fruits of those experiences for making not only soul development in the experience but also the affluence in the activities of others.
13. Before this we find the entity was in the City of the Hills or in the Roman experience when there were trials and turmoils and periods of oppression of the peoples for an ideal, when there was wantonness in the lives of many that would gratify and satisfy the influences in the carnal life.
14. The entity's experience during that sojourn brought not only to self at times sacrifices and persecution and distresses, but also the entity's activities brought comfort, aid, understanding, strength, in the experience of many that were weak in their own physical selves. The name then was Eloise.
15. The entity gained in the experience through the ability to create in the minds of others, through precept and example, that stamina necessary in the experiences of the souls of individuals to make for a purposefulness in whatsoever activity that came to those individuals in the sojourn.
16. Then the entity was in the household of, and among those of, the Herodians, and those peoples that were in rule, in power; not making for an expression of self's own indulgences, rather aiding in the activities of others that brought development to the soul of the entity.
17. In the present from that sojourn there comes the tolerance to others' ideas, to others' activities; and while in one period of the entity's present experience there were rebellious influences arising in the activities, these in self's own ways and manners have been quelled so as to make for soul and mental activity through that experience.
18. Hence many may in the present find counsel, aid, in the associations with the entity in the experiences for body, for mind, and for the activities that will bring to them the expressions that may awaken the best in the individual self.
19. Before this we find (among the ones influencing in the present) the entity was in that land of Egypt when there were those that were being embroiled within and without by the activities of those that brought rebellious forces in the experience of many.
20. The entity then was among the Atlanteans that came into the land during the period of strife or turmoil, and aided in quelling the people or in bringing the reasons - as would be termed in the present - for concerted activity among the rulers and those that would be in power, both politically and in religious thought and activity, that brought aid in the little ways in the larger experience and eventually in applying that which brought to many - not only in that particular land but in many of the lands to whom emissaries were sent - much constructive influences through the setting up of associations with groups established in varied quarters in the teaching world.
21. Hence in the present entity there are the educational activities that influence activities in lives as related not only to health or bodily activities, but to the greater influence in the present of bringing peace, harmony, contentment - and even joy - for a life of worth whileness in this experience. The name then was El-Phelt. And the activities of the entity in that sojourn may make for the greater activity in the present, in the latter portion of the present sojourn. For, many of the periods of relationships and activities in the present have been along the lines of the same activities in that experience. Hence in the latter portion may come the abilities for disseminating, for expanding upon, for the gathering together of truths, of tenets, of those things that may be helpful and aidful in the experience of others, in compilation of such that may mean much, many activities that will carry on in the spirit of that which has impelled the entity in its sojourns through the earth's experience.
22. As to that which the entity may attain in the present, and how:
23. The life, the experience, has been one of development. There may come soon to the entity a consciousness of a life full of service that is to the Creative influence, the purposefulness of experiences of a soul in an earth's sojourn. And the joys, the contentment, the satisfaction in a life worth while, will be the rewards in the expanding of the influence in the realms that may spread themselves before the associations, the activities of the entity, in its journey.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) What is the numerological influence of the name which has been assumed?
    (A) It has been rather the quieting influence in the experience, for it brought to the entity a sympathy, an influence that made for rather quieting experiences in the activity of the entity.
26. (Q) What particular land was referred to in relation to the revolutionary activities?
    (A) In the land of the present nativity; America.
27. (Q) Has there been any other incarnation in the land known as Greece?
    (A) In the Grecian incarnation the activities were such that were nil in soul development, yet appear the more often (under certain circumstances) to the entity as visions or dreams. Yet these are as passing, and the developments have been in those given; that there may be rather the experience of the entity, not as resting upon the oars, but rather as living, being, knowing that the Redeemer has stood in hand.
28. (Q) Has there been any significant incarnation in the Chaldean land?
    (A) During the period of a turmoil which is least understood, until some more archaeological research is carried out - that is being carried on now. The entity was among those people when division arose over the worship of the Sun and Moon and the One God; and there was much that the entity had in karmic influences that has been WELL met. Why turn back to it!
29. (Q) What was the date of this period?
    (A) 3,900 years before the Prince of Peace came.
30. (Q) Will you give some more specific influences for the entity that may be of help to her of a numerological nature?
    (A) The affluence from numerology or numbers is as the power of the activity of a number as related to the individual associations in appearances, and in activities during a sojourn in an environ. As indicated, these are divided into three experiences in the pesent. Then three, or the power of the God head influence, becomes paramount in the experience. Hence not only for good or virtue for its own sake, but for the beneficent influences in same, the numerological aspects in the entity's activities become shown in the spreading of influence and associations in the experience of others. When the entity instructs others, whether it be in matter of rote or experience in development of their minds or of their studies for the development of self spiritually, it will be found - if the entity will note - that THREE always is that to which it measures each that they should consider in such relations.
31. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 11/16/33 A.M. She was present for her friend Miss [444]'s Life Rdg., 444-1. I think she was a Spiritualist or very much interested along that line.

REPORTS

1. 11/18/33 She obtained her Physical Rdg., 445-2.
2. 1/18/34 She ordered other A.R.E. publications (having already ordered several previously), saying: [to GD]:
   "However, in the fairness to Mr. Cayce and you, his faithful and able associates, that only entire candor can offer, I am writing to say that my own interest and study are now definitely cast in a somewhat different line. I am therefore not free to contribute further to nor participate in Mr. Cayce's service hereafter.
   "Will you please assure him, however, that this decision is made in spite of my great respect for his own sincerity and the integrity of the work as expressed by you all."
