From Venus with Mars there are peculiar influences innately
as to the relationships of the entity with other individuals.
Whom the entity chooses from such an indwelling influence to
make her friend, she may have as her friend - but not always
does the entity find that she may retain same. For, there
arises with self, and within those whom the entity contacts,
influences that are regulated or renegated to the activities
of their relationships either in the earth's experience or in
the activity of the mental developments, when little
differences arise - then indifferences, from those
differences. Yet, there may be builded in the experience of
the entity with those very same influences, by applying the
tenets or the applications of truths that are set in that
which may be called not merely ideals, not merely ideas as
relating to the characterization of such relationships, but
there may be builded by taking those precautions or
activities within self through the mental influences in the
body, that which will make for the friendships, the
relationships, the activities; whether they be for the home,
the social activities, or in relationships that the entity
may choose, that will come to mean a great deal more in the
whole of life itself. For, oft, from these same innate
forces that become active, the entity in its ideas and ideals
has felt so alone, so far adrift from others as to wonder
within self at times whether it has the right slant on what
life is all about or not. This is from the experiences in
the earth, applied with such an influence in the sojourns in
the environs as given.
As to the appearances that influence the entity in the
present, and the urges that make for the activities in the
mental influencing of the body:
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as
the Hinterland, or that lying between what is known as France
and Germany; and during those periods when there were the
upheavals and dissensions arising among the peoples.
The entity then was in that land which would now be called
Lorraine, and in the name Henderich.
In the experience the entity suffered in body and in mind,
yet the entity gained much through the experience; for the
entity was among those that tended close to the activities in
the services of the temples or churches or gatherings
together in the period. And while the surroundings brought
turmoils and strife, the abilities within the entity enabled
the entity to quell or quiet the fears of the little ones -
and oft of those that were bereft of their support and of
their aid in the material things of life. The entity gained
in being able to bring the greater comfort to those through
the spiritual insights that were given by the entity in the
experience.
In the present is often felt the activities within as related
to the spiritual side of life which the entity may attain,
and often the entity feels impelled to press on; yet some
influence - such as has been given as being innate - holds
back. These may be expanded upon the greater, if the outlook
through the physical being warrants the activities in a more
decisive way and manner in the present.
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as
the Persian, during those periods when there were the
overrunnings of the city by those Grecian peoples.
The entity then was among those Grecians that came into the
land to conquer same. First by the stealth, begun by the
attempt to undermine the teachers and the leaders that had
begun with their dissemination of truths in that experience.
The entity was used in the ways and manners as to beguile
some of those in that land, yet in the latter portion of the
entity's experience - even with the turmoils arising - the
entity changed in its attitude and joined with those peoples
of the plains, rather than with those that would destroy the
activities in that experience.
PHYSICALLY the entity may be said to have lost in the
experience, yet in its soul and mental development it gained.
For, through the periods the activities were in all good
conscience, even though bringing destructive forces to the
peoples in the plain; but when there was the conviction and
the change had arisen in the experience, the entity with all
good conscience, with all good forces of desire to not only
undo the harm done but to aid in giving help even to those
that tempted, tempered those activities in the experience,
leading self in accomplishing that it might in the period; in
the name Ujd-tin.
In the present from that sojourn comes much (Yes, the entity
was a man in that experience) of the influences as to being
capable of making associations in directions pertaining to
the activities of large companies of individuals, or hosts of
individuals; as interior decorating, as making for the
activities that may associate self with those places where
hordes or groups or certain characters of people meet. More
in those places that are other than the home may the entity
succeed in the present the better, in these activities; yet,
in the SPIRITUAL forces from the experience, FIND SELF. For,
turmoils of necessity arise, not only from the change in the
activities but from the relationships that were brought in
the experience; for the entity often distrusts those who
would be the better friends.
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as
the Egyptian, during those periods when there were the
establishings of those teachings of the priest in the land,
and the various edifices, the various temples, the various
activities that were wrought during the changes brought to
the peoples.
The entity then aided in classifying the characterizations of
the interior decorations in the experience, in the name
As-pthi-el; gaining and losing during the experience.
In the various activities and influences, the entity brought
much to many; in the latter portion joining with some of
those rebellious forces in Ibex, thus making for periods of
the loss of confidence of others in the entity, and the loss
of confidence in self BY the entity in its own abilities for
development and relationships in the experience.
From that experience in the present are the abilities to make
for relationships and conditions and activities with others
that may bring to THEM, and to self, an accord for
development, physically, mentally, socially. Hence those
fields of activity that may relate to first that which has
been given: Health in self, health in others. Health in the
activity as related to the whole, as well as to individuals.
As to the abilities, and that to which the entity may attain
in the present, and how:
As seen, in many fields are there not only talents but there
are abilities. Yet lacking first is the PHYSICAL strength to
see the activities AS they should be, in the whole.
First, then, create within self that which will make - in the
physical-material world - a coordinating influence in the
experience.
Then develop in those lines as related to the activities
associated either in the aid to the individual or the
adorning of places of meetings.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should I get married?
(A) Not until the health is very much better.
(Q) When am I most likely to meet my true mate?
(A) When the physical activities of the whole body are such
that there may be the outlook upon the activities of the life
that may meet the needs or associations. If these are begun
in the present, by the next birthday.
(Q) Is Tony my mate, considering the best happiness of both?
(A) Let's change the physical body and see the difference in
the outlook. This should not be looked at too lightly,
considering the physical health first.
(Q) Should I consider going into partnership with my brother
[...] in the management of plumbing business established by
father? [

321-2.
Mr. [
321] was present for his rdg. and said that his
daughter, Miss [
453], was going to follow the advice for her
health as given in her Life Rdg.]
(A) With the health or the general physical outlook upon
life such as to make for the abilities within to function the
greater, the outlook upon such things - and the activities
and the abilities, especially to the decorative influences -
these would be excellent. Would be very well, if the health
is better.
(Q) After the health has improved, just what line of study
should I approach?
(A) As indicated, either in that activity towards making for
self those influences that will enable the body to give the
most of that it has gained in the study of self to others, or
in the decorative field; whether in the home or in the
application of self as related to the activities of others in
their own welfare.
This may be at first to the entity very indistinct, but as
the changes come these will be VERY direct.
We are through for the present.
