Also in Neptune there are brought the watery environs, and
the associations with individuals who have had the more
effectual activity in the experience of the entity are those
who have recently been across large bodies of water, or who
in their sojourns and in their relations one to another have
had dealings with those who have recently been or who are
engaged in activities that have to do with the water. There
is also the interest in mystery, mystery stories, as well as
those influences in things that are of the psychic nature.
And, if the body applies its abilities as related to the
visions in Jupiter and in Mercury AND in Neptune, as in
relation to that which may be given to others in their
understanding or APPLICATION of things pertaining to the
mysteries of life - whether this be from the material, the
mental or even the spiritual aspect - it will make for those
channels through which the entity may give not only that
which will be the more helpful but will also, in its
application for others, find in self that which will bring to
self the satisfaction that comes with the application of the
mental influences and abilities in such a way and manner as
to make for soul development. For, to the entity, it would
require patience in these directions, and - as the teacher of
old has given - "In patience possess ye your souls." This
does not mean in bearing with individuals that willfully
disobey, but rather being strong and steadfast and humble in
the sight of higher forces, yet active in that known to be
not only duty in the spiritual sense but duty in the mental
and material sense. For, duty and patience are akin; for he
that grows weary in well-doing, or who falters and faints and
gives up, is not worthy of those things that may be his lot,
or his niche or his channel in bringing to pass into the
material manifestations those things that the higher
influences - or even the angels of light - have had orders to
prepare for those that love His ways.
As to the appearances, then, and these that have been the
greater influences in the application of the entity in the
present experience:
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as
the vineland, or near Providence Town, where there were those
activities of a peoples that had set themselves in a position
to where they might worship that they called or designated as
their God according to the dictates of their own conscience,
when there had been the entering in of those influences that
made for the visions for the young and the dreams of the
young men and the visions of the old.
The entity, in the name Madge McCullough, was what would in
common parlance be said to be a busybody during that
experience; then neither gaining nor losing until there came
into the experience of self, by the associations with those
of the household of the pastor in Salem and in Providence
Town, a closer association that brought the abilities to aid
in clarifying much that had been the undoing of many as to
their MATERIAL development and making for fear in the
experience of many. And as fear makes for unrighteousness
and for error in the experience of many, so did the entity
lose or gain in the abilities to bring harmonious influences
in the experiences of those during that sojourn.
In the present those things that have partaken of activities
as related to the secular things in the worship in a church
edifice have always been a question in the experience of the
entity; and only when truth has not only been expressed but
lived by the individual has a tenet meant anything to the
entity in the present.
Before that we find the entity was in that land known as the
French, in the southern portion when there were the periods
of distresses from the overrunnings of the land by those both
from the Parthenian and the Pyrenees land, when there had
been the uprising from the settling of those people in that
land from the foreign lands, in the religious wars and in the
attempts to correlate church and state in that portion of the
land.
The entity was among those that were growers of the grapes in
the land, yet again rather well-spoken as to activities by
the name; in the activities through the material things
rather governing, with the abilities to subdue by the speech
and by the influence that might be had upon the associates by
its own personality. In the greater part these made for
developments, yet in periods there was little activity
towards soul development but an expansion in the mental
vision of the entity that made for a soul remaining - as
might be said - intact, gaining little in stature or in the
abilities to express itself in a very vital way or manner in
material things. The name then was Ioudel.
In the present those things that pertain to lands, where
there are specific activities by groups under the various
characters of leaders, are of particular interest to the
entity. And a study into the things whereunto individuals in
the entity's sex make for THEIR appreciation of, or their
abilities in, wielding an influence in the political, the
social and the economic life of individuals, is of particular
interest; as are also those things that pertain to the arts
of a specific type, as seen in the older French and Spanish
things that deal with household articles and especially of
relationships between men and women of that period.
Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as
the Indian, during the period when there were the enterings
of many of those from the Zoroastrian reaction in the upper
portion of Persia and Chaldea to the lands in the valley, or
the inroads between the mountain dwellers and the lands in
the more fertile fields.
The entity was among those of the low-lands, still in the sex
as in the present, in the name Veidien. Again the entity was
rather active in making for a balancing of the associations
through the activities of those that came in and attempted to
- and did, in the greater part, eventually, through much that
was established in order by the entity itself - make for
change in the relationships of individuals, and the starting
of much of that that later grew into caste activity.
Gaining and losing; yet in the present there may be felt that
influence from the various effects or orientalism in the
affairs and in the experience in the associations in the
writing, in the application of things. Yet the occidental
and the oriental to the entity may be met in such a field
that may be applied through the mental forces of the entity
itself.
Before that we find the entity was in what is now known as
the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were those
activities from the gatherings of the peoples through the
associations of those that had entered from the Atlantean
land in the latter portion of that period when there were
disseminations from those things that had been gathered
together in law, in medicine, when we term them in the words
of the present day, in the teaching and in the ministering,
in the building of centers, of households, of those kingdoms
roundabout.
The entity then was of those native peoples that were
influenced whether by the sojourning of the peoples from
Atlantis, the latter portion of same, and became the consort
or wife (if we would use a better term) of Alta, one of those
rulers that came from the Atlantean land that had such a
weight in the distribution of truths to other lands.
In the present from that experience, as Induhel, may be had
the innate and the expressed activity in particular
relationships to those things of certain sounds, and the
effect that music, the effect that certain guttural sounds of
that we call in English the consonant, with the correlations
of the vowels, makes upon the entity - the peculiar
sensations in the experience of the entity.
As to the abilities of the entity and that to which it may
attain, and how:
In the present it is first necessary to MEET in self that
purpose for which it came into its present surroundings and
environs; that it might meet itself in those things that had
been accomplished in a material plane and a material environ.
For, not only in knowing but in doing does there come forth
in the soul development that which makes that soul work
towards becoming one with the Creative Forces in a spiritual
and material sphere.
Then, in applying self in its writings, in its teachings, in
its associations, towards making for harmonies in Creative
Forces may the entity bring to self, to others, the greater
strength, the greater ability for the spreading of those
tenets that were the foundations in most of the lands that
the entity sojourned in; whether the ENTITY made personal
application or not the knowledge of same was present.
Hence often do others call the entity or soul deep; a deep
thinker, yes - but be ye doers as well as hearers of that
gospel of Him who gave, "Love the Lord thy God with all thine
heart and thine soul, thine mind, thine body, and thy
neighbor as thyself." In the application of these tenets may
there ever be fulfilled in man's life all the relationships
of man to his neighbor, or to the service he may render his
neighbor, according to the acknowledging of God in his life.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why am I here on this planet?
(A) Just given. To meet self and to better become
acquainted with self, as to what self has done about that it
has known and does know.
(Q) Shall I continue my same mode of life?
(A) Study to show thyself approved unto Him thou would
worship as thy God, knowing that He is able to keep that thou
committeth unto Him against any experience that may be in
thine activity; and unless the god thou worshipeth fulfils
this, thou has chosen too low; keeping self unspotted from
the world.
We are through.

BACKGROUND
1/20/34 "After hearing you speak at the Hyslop House the
other evening I spoke to your son about a Life Rdg... Have
always been greatly interested in why I am here on this
planet. I have had such sudden changes in my mode of life
and environments I sometimes feel as if I were a cat with
nine lives."
2/13/34 "Will I continue my same mode of life and remain on
in N.Y.C. indefinitely, or if there is a change will it be
in my work or mode of living? I suppose you will consider
this a very material question."
