In this entity's present experience, while meeting many
things, many conditions, many experiences that have altered
the natural bent or trend of the activities of the entity, of
the body, the greater portion of these has been with an eye
single towards an ideal that is innate in the experience or
soul of the entity, than into mere advancement in a material
attitude or position in this plane. This has necessarily,
then, made for rather those conditions that may be given as
INNATE, or as mental attributes of the soul in the present
from the astrological - or rather planetary sojourn. For
each soul in its advent into this earth solar system, and
becoming an indweller in the realm of materiality, becomes
subject to the laws and the attributes of this present solar
system, with the influences from the sun, from the sun's
planetary companions in this present solar experience. Hence
Mercury, Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, all are periods or spheres of development necessary
for the soul's sojourn in its relationships to making for
that soul-entity those experiences of application of the
laws, as are called in the earth's plane, of making an
intelligent application of the knowledge pertaining to the
law of Creative Force, or God, in the experience of that
soul. To each sojourn there has been given that as was
attributed as of old, by the bards, the seers of the past,
the initiates that have entered again and again in their
endeavor to give that the sun, the stars in their position
are given for signs, for seasons, for years, for days. Hence
the indwelling of a soul into such a sojourn makes that
indelible impression upon the soul that lives on, as to what
is necessary or what has been the application of self
respecting the environ and the knowledge, the understanding
OF itself in relationship to the Creative Forces.
For this entity, then, in Mercury we find that influence
making for an activity of the mental forces, of a mental
acumen, giving abilities within the individual in the present
that become exceptional in the manner of discernments and as
of an analytical mind pertaining to the activities of other
minds with whom it may come in contact or be associated with.
Yet, as has been given, the entity in its application of such
an innate influence may use or abuse such an innate
qualification in its soul development.
In Venus also is found the activity that makes for the
abilities to be tender when necessary, severe when necessary,
and loving in those relationships that make for the
adaptability of self in whatever environ, in whatever
association may be the necessity or may be the activities of
the entity.
Jupiter makes for the vast experiences in the mental and
material fields of activity, also making for the peculiar
interests that the entity may have in classifying
individuals' activity into groups, into associations, into
relationships with others that are mentally or physically
equipped for certain commercial or certain activities to
which the abilities of the entity (this body) qualify it to
become, as it were, a judge, or one able to assort and to
qualify individuals in such relationships.
As we find, the Neptune influence makes for the associations
necessary about large bodies of water; peculiar activities
with individuals who have recently crossed large bodies of
water, or who may be relating themselves to such associations
or such relations. Also for those innate feelings of the
knowledge pertaining to mysteries, as to rites, as to sources
pertaining to mysteries that have that flavor rather of the
rites and the activities of others under the varied
circumstances or experiences that may come into the
experience of those sojourning in the material plane. Also
interest in those things that pertain to the mysteries of
life, as itself and as it relates to the psychological effect
that such associations may have upon individual activity in
and under any given circumstance or conditions.
These are rather qualifications, as may be termed, in the
DEVELOPMENT of the entity in the present experience.
As to the sojourns in the earth and those that have their
influence upon the activities of the entity in the present,
these are they, as we find, that have to do with the present
activities:
Before this we find the entity during those periods when
there were turmoils in the land now known as France, during
the period just previous to what is commonly called the
French Revolution.
The entity then was among those peoples that were of the
authority, or of those that had been - or should have been -
the counselors to the king and to those that made for the
relationships between the peoples and the ones in authority.
In the name then Burgette did the entity, in that activity,
make for counsels with the father and with those of that
period as to how much that happened might have been averted.
That the counsel was good was later learned to the
distraughtness to many. To the entity it brought rather
discouragements, and the necessity of changing in the
experience, as it were, its associations and its relations.
In the contacts with some of those that led in the rebellions
of the period did the entity find those things that made for
sad physical experiences, yet bringing to the mental and soul
forces abilities that made for soul development; yet the
ability as an executive in the present comes much from that
gained in that experience - and in the ability to deal with
individuals of varied classes, yet those that would deal with
the high or the low makes for the judgements as THROUGH the
experiences in the astrological sojourns, making for
qualifications that are exceptional.
Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the
Persian or Indian, but rather then the Chaldean or Assyrian
land, when a peoples were in exile from their promise land,
and when there were made those overtures to those in power
that there might be the return of those peoples to their
native land, and to those activities that were to cause - and
that have caused - thought of the spiritual activity in the
earth.
The entity, as a niece to Zerubabbel, in the name Iexlia,
gained in favor, gained in power, not only with the rulers in
the Chaldean land but in the counsel that was given to those
that - with the Zerubabbel and the high priest's command -
brought those peoples into the promised land; aiding in
setting to work those as the classifications of their own
abilities in the various fields of activity necessary in that
land, bringing order out of chaos in the eyes and in the
minds of many; and thus in the physical experience endearing
self to those that were to again carry on to that whereunto a
peoples had been called in a manner to present in the
experiences of their lives their concept of the Creative
Forces in their experience.
In that sojourn the entity gained throughout the experience,
for much of that which had been given by those patriarchs of
old had come to mean to the entity that upon which all souls,
whether pertaining to the spiritual life, the material things
or the activities in a commercial world, must depend for
those tenets and principles that had been set by those who
were to be the lawgiver to a select peoples.
In the present the concepts of authority are founded most
upon that INNATELY gained in that sojourn, yet at the same
time making for the appreciations of the activities of others
that in their own development must meet their OWN problems.
Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the
Egyptian, during those periods when there were the turmoils
through the rebellious forces that had arisen in that land.
The entity then was among the native peoples that, through
those teachings of those that had overrun the land, became
enamored of those and - joining in the activities of the
king, of the priest - were persecuted through these
associations; making for a period of consternation and
turmoil and strife, and when there were the re-establishments
of the priest and of those of the Atlantean land, and there
was the comprehending that there was the truth in the oneness
of the spirit force and its relationships to man, and that
the manifestations of same could only be brought through the
relationships of man to man, did the entity then again - in
the name Ai-Eltu - gain in that sojourn.
From that experience we find in the present that of the
nicety of the entity as pertaining to those that are in power
and in authority, yet QUESTIONS ever any source of
information unless it may be applicable in the HEART of self
or SEEN applied in the EXPERIENCE of others in their daily
life.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to
which it may attain, and how:
As is seen from those sojourns that make for the abilities in
the spiritual life, in the material affairs, in the
commercial things of earth, these bring only those things
pertaining to the material things which, if founded in
spirit, may LIVE in their own place in the affairs of men.
In that to which it may attain, then:
Make the application in the daily activities that others,
knowing through the associations of self that same is founded
in that which is Life alone, as in the spirit of justice and
mercy and patience and truth, may bring in the hearts, in the
lives, in the experiences of others THAT knowledge is
INNATELY manifested in the experience of this entity.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Which activities will give me the greatest spiritual and
cosmic developments?
(A) In those that have been given here. In letting those
associations that the entity contacts in its field of
activity become clarified in the abilities of individuals in
their relationships, such that they are FOUNDED in the
spiritual; not spiritualism, but SPIRITUAL truths as
proclaimed by Him who gave, "There is today set before thee
life and death, good and evil; choose thou," and, "If ye will
be my people, I will be your God."
(Q) At which activities can I earn money and succeed in this
life?
(A) As has been given, that which will earn and live and
make for the most is in that founded in Truth. While there
may come through the abilities of the entity in many fields
of associations, that which even in self may be questioned;
yet such gains, such activity, though earning moneys, soon
brings that with same that eats - and eats - and eats the
soul and consciousness of such gainer.
Then, find self in truth, in light; for in such may come
peace, harmony, and that which is necessary for the soul
development.
For, as has been said of old, "What gain ye to gain the whole
world and retard thine own soul?"
Look upon thine peoples when thou aidest them to
reestablish, rehabilitate themselves and to reclassify
themselves for activity in the rebuilding of the temple.
Build THAT temple in thine own body, in thine own soul!
We are through.

REPORTS
4/18/34 EC's letter: We have thought of you quite often
since our last meeting in New York. So far we have had no
word from you. I know you are quite busy, and possibly have
nothing that you feel is of interest to report. But I assure
you we feel a very personal interest in each and every
individual who has approached this work. And it's only by
the cooperation of those we try to aid that we are enabled to
know what we possibly may have to offer to others. It's only
the good that we want to pass on, if there be any good. And
if there isn't, of course, we want to know it. To be sure,
as you know, we would not be trying to do the work if we
hadn't been persuaded by so many that there are things worth
while to be gained from such information.
I have very recently had occasion to meet several individuals
for whom we had given Life Readings, some six months and some
a year ago, that I had never seen. It's been quite
interesting to talk with them, since they have had the
opportunity to see some of the things work out in their
experience that they were told about - some of the
corrections that were suggested for their activities. Some
marvelous things have come to many. Only today I saw an
article in a current magazine written by one of the leading
producers [Mr. [
2121]] in the moving picture industry. About
two years ago we gave him a Life Reading, and in his
interview we find him quoting almost exactly something that
was told him in his reading. And I know we seldom see in
print men of his calibre asking the question, "Do you believe
in reincarnation?"
Hoping to have been of a service, and to hear from you. I am
Sincerely,
EC:GD

Mental-Spiritual Rdg.
10/02/35 Letter: "At the time I was so interested that I
carried my Life Rdg. around and showed it to a number of
people, with the result that someone has it, or I left it
somewhere. I am eager to get a duplicate... Would it be
possible to bring an interested friend to hear a Life Rdg.
when you are in N.Y.? Sometimes when you gave a rdg. for a
subject who would not mind having a few people present, I
should like to bring the gentleman. He would surely want his
own Life Rdg after being present."
6/37 Mrs. [

510] had just undergone surgery
for removal of malignant breast tumor - it was very doubtful
she would recover.
