TEXT

1. EC: [In going back over years] - '96 - a change! - '95, '94, '93, [etc., on back to birth date.]
2. Yes. There's a change in the calendar from here.
3. In the present calendar, we would find this March 19, 1885 - [619].
4. We have the records of the entity here, now known as or called [619].
5. In reading or interpreting these experiences that are recorded here, of this entity [619], reason from the premise, that:
6. The activity of an entity (soul-body-mind), as a unit, in whatever sphere of experience or consciousness it may function, is as the thread of life that connects with that which is to be opened when those experiences are to be made as one with that Universal Consciousness, in which the entity or soul then comes to be as one with same - yet knowing itself to BE the entity that has overcome through the application of those influences, those powers that make for the very experience or expression of a soul, in materiality as a body, in the spheres of experience or sojourns in the interims - which are termed by man as the spheres of consciousness or experience that are in the various forms about the earth.
7. For it has been given, "If ye will be my children, I will be your God. Though ye fain to be afar off and forget that thou hast been called from without, when ye call I will harken."
8. For the Lord hath not purposed that any soul should perish, but with each experience, with each faltering has prepared a way, a means of escape.
9. So, through the journeying of an entity in the various spheres of experience, whether in the flesh or in the universal consciousness, it is - ye ARE - the Lord's!
10. Then, quit yourselves like men!
11. In giving, then, the astrological experiences or sojourns of this entity, that become applicable in the experience of this entity in the present, these we find as the ruling experiences in the present:
12. In Jupiter and Uranus, these become as the ruling forces in the experience; making for that which is a consciousness of the entity's mental body - the dealing with masses or groups of individuals, through associations of organizations or activities that make for the manner of relationships of the entity with those in or about the experiences of the entity.
13. These are of the benevolent influences, even as relating to the experience of the entity in Uranus - that makes for extremes. There may be periods when the entity from the moral or the spiritual, or even from the commercial or business association (as an extremist), may one day be very close to every association; again very far away. Yet these are benevolent influences, from the entity's sojourn in Jupiter AND Uranus.
14. For, as indicated, the experience of the entity or soul in that termed as Jupiter or Uranus or what not, makes for expressions that become not only places but experiences, consciousnesses, awarenesses of the entity of its indwelling through same.
15. From the union of influence, we find these brought in the material experience as urges:
16. Those things pertaining to the extreme, as in dealing with individuals or with groups, become as sudden decisions; that may be very foreign to what may have been the decision even a few hours or days before. Impulse! as it is often called, or hunches - as it may appear. Yet, if such experiences are analyzed within self, it may be seen that they are the Uranian or psychic forces becoming manifest - that are of the soul.
17. In Venus we find the very close friendships, the filial and the marital relationships being paramount or meaning much in the experience of the entity. Not merely as duty, not merely as obligations, but rather as a privilege of self, an OPPORTUNITY of self to give expressions of that which is innate and manifested in the deeper self; that seeks for and makes expression in the material forces.
18. Hence it may be said of the entity: He that may count this entity as a friend is indeed blessed in the material experience.
19. The Mercurian influences made for the high mental abilities or mental efficiency, coupled with the Jupiterian and Uranian influences. Hence while the entity may flare at some point, almost immediately it is as but the DEEPER self saying, "Let's reason together," as it were. Not that there is not temper, not that there is not the expression of same; but rather from the developments of the soul in these environs there has been brought into the experience of the entity in the earth ONE of the seven virtues, that may be said to stand equal to or ahead of them all TOLERANCE, and patience! Not that there are not those feelings otherwise and the giving of expression to same; for these from the earthly sojourns - it will be seen become rather as emotions. But when the deeper self or the real development of the entity in the earthly sojourn finds expression, it becomes rather as it may be said or was said of many of old, that his tolerance, his patience, is counted for righteousness unto him that manifests in this body.
20. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those that have the greater influence in the present:
21. While not a great many, they are quite varied in their expression or their activities in the earth.
22. Before this we find the entity was in not the land of the present nativity, but in the land of the present sojourn. For the more often in the experience it will be found that the expressions and the activities are those drawn from one experience to another, for those individual developments or expansions of activity - and its innate and manifested abilities in the earth.
23. During that sojourn, then, we find the entity was in the land in and about what is now known as Dearborn, or Fort Dearborn; during those experiences when there were the gatherings of peoples from what was then called Lorraine, or the French peoples or immigrants - but of the same faith as in the present.
24. Then, the entity's activities were in the dealings or tradings with the natives of the north land, those of the western lands; not only for the pelts or skins or furs, but in the exchange of the fruits of the lands that were to be used by those peoples in or around those portions of the lakes - or around the forts established near what is now called Cleveland. And between these did the activities of the entity, in its active years, make for a development, for a growth, then in the name of Samuel Goldestenblenut.
25. In the experience the entity gained; for those dealings with the natives made for the establishings of the better relationships, even when there were those turmoils between the English and the French during those periods when the entity was the more active in those tradings.
26. Yet some misjudged the entity's principles, misjudged the entity's activities. And it brought a period of distress for the entity. Yet as there were the reestablishings of those activities that made for the greater progress, or the advancing of those that made this land become progressive in homes and trading, the entity grew to be one in power. And thus gained the more in making for harmonies in the relationships of the natives as well as those who pushed forward toward those settlings in the land during those periods.
27. Only recently have there been the destructions of those places of bodily rest of the entity, from that sojourn in the earth, in and near to the lake where there has been a filling in - for those activities that have brought about what is called civilized activity - that is often so misinterpreted.
28. Before that we find the entity was in that land or period when there were the returnings of those peoples of promise from the activities or the bondages of the kings of Persia, or Artaxerxes.
29. During the period when there were those activities under Nehemiah, or at the third period of return to the Holy City, the entity then was active in its associations during that particular experience; then in the name David, of the sons of Judah, of the daughters of Benjamin.
30. In the experience the entity became joined in those activities that undertook to bring the better relationships to those that were without the walls, that were questioned for their intermingling with the peoples of the land.
31. These again for a period brought disturbing influences in the experiences of the entity. Yet with the reestablishings of the temple service, the activities of the rebuilding of the wall, those abilities of the entity to overcome the special activities of the envoys of Sanballat made for a greater security of the peoples during the reign and during the activities of those that had been sent under Nehemiah.
32. Then with the daughters of Zerubbabel did the entity make the tradings as to the replenishing or reestablishing of the temple furniture, or those things that pertained to the variations from those activities of the children of promise in their new environ.
33. From that experience may come much of those things having to do with the activities of the entity in the present, in its dealing with the making of homes - or the activities in the furnishings of same. So those things that are different, those things that are new, those things that not only offer greater conveniences but that become according to the activities and the needs of the individuals, become those that the entity would desire to impress upon its various associates - as to their advantage in the individual or group experience.
34. In the experience before that, we find the period was when David, the shepherd king, the beloved, ruled in the land; and when wars were little, and no more were those activities of Ajalon [?] or Absolam making for the disturbing forces in the experience.
35. The entity then was among the sons of Abner that made overtures to the daughter of the king, or the daughter of Bathsheba. For the entity then rose to favor with the king, and was active in establishing - with the individuals and peoples nigh unto the land, in Tyre and Sidon - the preparations of the poles of cedar, the posts of cedar, that were to become the timbers in the temple.
36. THESE were the activities then of Ajalon, the son of Abner, and the son-in-law of the King.
37. In the experience the entity was greatly active in bringing about the relationships of those peoples that supplied much for that service in the temple, where the King had purposed in his heart to dedicate a place, a house, to the worship of Jehovah - God.
38. The entity gained much in the experience, and in the present from same the entity finds that whether the associations are with those within or without the own faith - if they are true to THEIR purposes - they are as One! In this has tolerance come, through those experiences and in the application of that in the present - so that this has grown to be a part of the entity's experience.
39. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the incomings of those from the Atlantean land.
40. The entity then was the brother of Ax-Tell, that became active in attempting to unify the purposes of Ra-Ta with the Atlanteans - and aided in establishing, after there had been the rebellions and the reestablishing of the King and Ra-Ta's activities, the greater expression in ALL lands pertaining to the jewels and those things pertaining to the Temple Beautiful in its activities - among the daughters of the land and the peoples that dedicated or made for concentration or consecration of themselves and their bodies for the activities. In THESE did the entity then, as Ax-Ten-Elo, make the greater expressions in material things.
41. Hence in the present those things pertaining to dress, the nicety of such, the jewels in their place, the relationships of the home to the individuals in their dress, become innate expressions of the entity in the present.
42. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
43. HOLD fast to that thou hast gained in thine experiences in the earth in patience, in tolerance; adding to these the faith that will make thee whole!
44. In the applying of self, then, let it not be in rote - but rather in that which will answer for the purposes in thine relationships to thy fellow man. For, as THOU art in thine inner self and expression of thy God, so is thy fellow man. And as ye do it then in thy daily life, in thy relations unto thy fellow man, ye do it unto thy Lord - thy God, El [?].
45. (Q) What cooperation have I with the [994] Bros. Corp., and what is my future with them?
    (A) If there are the abilities in self for obtaining COOPERATION among those of the firm itself, greater may be the cooperation in the efforts of the body in the relationships or dealings with them.
    Not as a meddler, not as a counsellor. Rather as a necessity, or as a case of self-preservation of [994]'s associations! [GD's note: 2/07/36 See 994-3 in re the business; and 3/36 see 257-162, Par. 27-A and Reports.]
46. (Q) What help, if any, should I obtain for the Chicago coming market?
    (A) That which may enable the body to meet the sections or leads that have not been heretofore so seriously considered. Or to go right into territories, as it were, of the competitive lines.
47. (Q) Will [5417] obtain position with Crowley Milner Co.? If so, when? If not, who will?
    (A) If those conditions, circumstances, promises that have been made are held, he should - by the first or fourth week in January.
    If there is the interference, then it appears that this will go to SOMEONE now in the east. [See 619-5, Par. R2.]
48. (Q) Who in the east?
    (A) Bill Who!
49. We are through for the present.
