TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the entity [585], nee [...], born March 18, 1896, in Norfolk, Va. You will give an aura chart of the entity, indicating the symbols, colors, and the meaning of each, that they may be made into a drawing that would be of help to the entity.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records of that entity now known as or called [585].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records, - these for a chart, to be sure, are taken from the records of the individual lives, or some of them. The periods may be best illustrated in figures or activities that would indicate the period of activity, while the manner of application - to which the entity builded, or from which it came through the astrological aspects - is illustrated by the planetary actions; and the mannerisms or characteristics through the period are indicated by the symbols of the chart itself.
4. Thus, - as to its beauty, as to its value in the experience of the entity, - much depends upon the artist's interpretation of such a record. As in most all experiences of individuals, that which may be constantly visualized by an illustration carries an interpretive value in the experience of the entity. Thus may each be made to be valuable, or helpful.
5. For we would - as each entity should - minimize the faults and magnify the virtues of the entity.
6. Not all of the sojourns or appearances may be given, but these we give as having a direct influence on the urges that are latent and manifested in the experience of this entity, [585] in the present:
7. Then, in preparing a chart for this entity, - in the lower portion, in the center, put an altar. This should be indicated as one built of stones. There should be at least, in that portion showing, twenty-two stones; indicating the fulfilling of a purpose in the experience of the entity. No frills or fancy drawing would be about the altar. And upon the altar would be only the fire, not a sacrifice. For it is the indication of the entity's sacrificing its own petty conditions, or those urges which existed when the entity desired that these be purged that the body, as a channel, might bear offspring that would be purified in a physical sense. The altar should be of stone, or stone in color; not wholly symmetrical in the sizes of the stones, for some would be round, some oval, some nearly square. But the top would be indicated as being flat. The fire, of course, would be indicated as of twelve sticks - by fire on same; this indicating the twelve centers of the body to be purified.
8. Upon each side of the altar, about an equal distance between the altar and that which would be indicated by the astrological symbols, put: on the left, the priest in priestly robes, blessing a figure kneeling in front of him. No face of the priest would be shown; for this would be turned almost to the rear view of the priest, while the kneeling figure would indicate the individual receiving instructions and blessings from the priest, see? The robes of the priest would be blue-gray, with the hooded portion back from the head, while about the waist would be a cord of gold color, with a purple tassel - or one of the tassels - showing. The sandals would be of papyrus or woven grass. The robe of the kneeling figure would be in white (this also a robe, you see), with a band about the neck or throat in blue, not too dark, and the bare feet, or at least one or both showing. The hair would be very dark, or black, while the color of the feet, the face and hands would be rather ruddy; not too white but not black.
9. On the right side of the altar (and these should be balanced) would be depicted in the distance the Temple of Beauty, or Temple Beautiful. This would be indicated by the seven pillars, with the star on the central pillar; and a figure in the foreground faced or turned towards same - in the dress of the figure kneeling on the other side.
10. On the left of this figure indicate the sign of Mercury, in green and gold; while the manner of activity would be depicted in Leo - four in number - small and black, - these above and below and upon each side.
11. Upon the right put the sign of Venus, in green and blue, or green shaded with blue. About this put the symbol of Aries, or the ram, - four in number, small and black.
12. These would indicate the place, the activity, the attainment; and the manner of attainment - mind and love, as indicated by the symbol of the astrological aspects of the entity's activity.
13. Above this (and all of these vignetted; not in circle or oval lines) put the Master with the gray robe, the beard scant, the hair - not red nor yet golden, but as of reddish golden - blessing or healing the woman with the issue. This figure, of course, would be much more mature than the one indicated in the scenes below, but would be depicted as a very thin or pale individual, with very dark eyes and hair - and a robe of gray and purple, or the bands about same purple while the robe would be in the lighter gray. This would indicate the period, or the healing of the Master of the woman in the throng who touched the hem of the garment. Hence the figure should be kneeling upon one knee and reaching for the hem of the Master's robes, - and He turned as to the left to encounter the figure kneeling, see? Other figures should be in the background, but this should be the main, central figure. [See 1353-1, Par. 36--41 woman healed.]
14. Indicate upon each side of these slender crosses, - in white; but by the side, at the foot, and to the left and to the right, put a star; this indicating the attaining of the entity in those experiences.
15. Upon the left put the symbol of Jupiter, with the characters about same of Aries, - these small and black.
16. Upon the right side put the sign of Venus (this is the same, of course, as below - but here a different color), and about same the symbols of Sagittarius, four in number small and black. Jupiter and Venus would be depicted as reddish; not red, but reddish, streaked with the pink and white.
17. In these is indicated the place, the activity, the attaining, and the manners in which there was the attaining.
18. Above this, in the center, put a small church; white, with a spire, and with a bell indicated in same, this not too large. Upon the left side of this - as out of the mist put a figure, as out of the mist, or to depict the experiences of the entity in that sojourn. These colors would be gray with white, and the figure would be a mere outline - as of a shadow; not as of a body but as a figure.
19. Upon the right of the church, at a little distance to balance same, put three cherub faces as turned towards one another, - surrounded by a cloud, darkened in the outer edge, light toward the faces themselves.
20. On the left put the sign of Mars, reddish in its color; with the symbol of Scorpio indicating the activity, four in number, small and black.
21. Upon the right put the symbol or sign of Uranus; half white, half nearly red; and the character symbolizing the activity would be Libra, - small, four in number about same.
22. The central figure above, indicating that to which the entity may attain, would be the open book - as written in gold - Holy Bible.
23. Above same would be the cross, with two figures as of cherubims; not angels, but cherubims. The character of the face and the manner in which they should appear may be found in the description of the cherubims over the ark of the covenant. Upon each side from these put the cross, - this heavy - or balanced as to size and face of same.
24. And over all would be the clouds, indicating the book, the promise, and that as lay in the Cross.
25. This is the seal, this is the aura chart of the entity, [585].
26. We are through for the present.
