From the astrological aspects, as we find, there are
conditions that have been in the experience of the entity, so
that what it would do in its mental, and desired in the
spiritual self, appears to be often beset with such
disconcerting conditions as to cause the entity to lose sight
at times of its purpose in its application of that it has
known, and even determined to do. Yet, as will be pointed
out, this may be overcome even in self. And yet not to be
considered as hardheaded, nor as one without reason. Yet
these things must be met and experienced, as we shall see
from the entity's application of that it, the entity, has had
in its astrological and material sojourn.
Coming under the astrological influences, then, in Mercury
with Venus, of Jupiter, of Uranus, makes for THESE as INNATE
activities in the experience of the entity in the present:
One with high mental abilities.
One whose judgements in self are of exceptional worth, yet
one especially in the affairs of the heart and of the
friendships has been led - and finds in the experience that
such have made for the greater hardships, when considered
from the purely material aspect.
One that makes for friendships, and that innately as well as
manifestedly finds these associations and relations very much
worth while; and yet innately finds that in material things
these become a strain - even a dread upon the mental
activities of the entity.
One that through the experience and sojourn in Jupiter has
found that the outlook upon the experiences of life has
altered at periods as definitely as if the entity were
viewing life from an entirely different angle. Or
circumstances and conditions (and mostly brought about by the
activities of others in the experience of the life) have
altered and changed not only the environs but the effect of
the environs upon the entity in its applications in the
mental and material life.
Jupiter should bring in its next change, which begins in the
middle portion of this present month, some changes in the
associations and relations of the entity, making for - in the
coming year ('35) - an entire change in surroundings and
activities, and with the opportunity for those things that
are of the material-material in greater abundance about the
body. These should make for the opportunities of the entity
to apply self in those directions that have INNATELY with the
mental abilities, and with much of the desires of the mental
forces of the body, been the capabilities to carry on
research; travel, associations, activities that have been as
longings in the experience of the entity.
As in Uranian, making for the EXTREMES that have arisen in
the experience in the present. While the entity has had
periods when the day dreams, the aspirations have been a
great portion of the outward experience of the entity, and to
such an extent at times that SOME associates have termed the
entity impractical in much of what have been as aspirations,
yet from the mental, from the spiritual aspects, the entity
should take this rather as an activity that has brought
development for the soul. And here it may be said for the
entity: Learn PATIENCE first with self. Do not be
overanxious about the material things. For the mental and
the spiritual aspects and desires should be set in those
directions whereunto it may be said in the experience of
self; "I myself will be guided by the influences from the
inner meditations and that which is shown me from within."
For to such the promises are sure. If ye will this way,
there may come those experiences that will not only be of
more harmonious nature in the affairs in material things, but
will bring contentment which comes from knowing within self
that the way is being kept that leads to a greater
understanding in the truths, in mental experiences of a body.
As to the appearances in the earth through the material
things, and those that influence the entity in the present,
these are at variance at times one to another, making for
those experiences that have made for the accentuation - as
has been given - in the mental forces of the body. Not that
turmoils have wrecked the aspirations, but have often brought
discouragements that if there were not the helping hand of
the friend here and there distraughtness might have led the
way.
Before this we find the entity was in that period, that land,
about what is now known as the Fort Dearborn country, when
there were the combinations of the natives and the peoples in
the activities of the period.
Then in the name Marian DeQuesque, the entity made for the
associations that aided the settlers of the period in
bringing the aids necessary for the establishing - after the
destruction to body and material things - towards a fruition
of success. For the entity innately and manifestedly in the
experience used rather gentleness and kindness for making the
closer relationships with the groups, the individuals
necessary for the reestablishing of the forts, the outpost,
and bringing aid from not only the struggling peoples that
were in the east but those from the north and east also.
In the experience the entity gained through the greater
portion of the sojourn, and from same in the present may be
seen the innate and manifested activities in abilities, in
keeping itemized associations with others, making diary
entries that may stand for their associations in
relationships to times, to periods, to individuals, to
groups.
Hence the entity naturally is analytical in its mental
application, yet oft is misdirected or altered in its
opinions by the activities of others, whether those in the
superior positions in its relations or in its friendships and
relations. Yet the entity may from that experience use much
of that which has been indicated in the powers or forces for
political influences in whatever environ is chosen, or the
relationships that make for the friendships being used in the
way of influence for the activities of the entity may be
accomplished. And in those offices that are in the activity
of such relationships may the entity, from the material
angle, gain much in the material experiences as may be
desired.
Before that we find the entity was during those periods of
the establishing of, and the relationships of, those that
made for the gatherings of the peoples that went as the
Crusaders.
The entity then was among those in the French and Spanish
land (as may be said in the present position of places), and
in the Second Crusade when there were the gatherings of those
peoples from the varied lands under the one command, or as
the divisions came later. That was the period.
In the name then Juaneta, the entity was misunderstood in and
during the experience by the associates and the household of
those that were to go as the leaders; and the distrust that
the entity innately finds in the opposite sex arises from
those experiences during that sojourn. In the material
things, though, the entity gained; in the mental experiences,
these were as a turmoil period; in the spiritual aspirations
and desires, the entity aided - and hence again a soul
development. For from that experience or sojourn, the
abilities in the analyses - and the interest that may be
manifested by the entity in mental and spiritual
relationships with the individual's activities - arise from
that period. And there may be material applications in the
field of service where things as well as people, and the
record of things as well as of their relationships to people,
may be made a part of the entity's experience; and thus bring
for the entity, through the activities of self, that which
may make for advancements in material world.
Before that we find the entity was during those periods when
the Master of men walked in the earth, during the days when
there were the gatherings of those from many lands when there
was the procession or the triumphful entry into Jerusalem.
The entity then was among the Syro-Phoenician people that had
heard, through the journeys into the land, of the activity of
the individual or the man in that land; and came with many -
and with those of the lands adjoining same - for that period
when there was to be either the establishing of the material
kingdom by that man, or there were to be the understandings
of what those teachings were to bring into the experience of
others.
Then in the name Phoebe, the entity gained through the
experience in the material things. Much might be said about
the entity's activities during that sojourn into the earth
and those fields of activity that had to do with the teaching
abilities of the entity with the young, and for the influence
it had upon its associates in that period of material
manifestation. Hence those things that pertain to colors,
the modes of living of individuals, those things pertaining
to not only the material life and its surroundings but the
mental surroundings of individuals, arise from that
experience of the entity in that, the Holy Land and the
Syro-Phoenician land, and among those peoples that were the
followers of same.
Hence innately and manifestedly there are those things that
pertain to the sudden activities of individuals as related to
others in their relationships to the political powers, the
powers of state, that have an interest in the entity's
activity; yet the entity has seldom used or given expression
to its abilities to use such relationships in its own behalf.
Before that we find the entity was in that land called or
known as the Atlantean, during the periods when there were
the attempts of many before the rise of the destructive
influences that brought forth the sinking of the lands upon
those shores.
The entity aided in carrying to the common peoples, and the
peoples that had journeyed to the land, a greater
understanding of the activities in that particular
experience; and was in the name Almacahz, as it would be
interpreted in the present.
Then the entity was in those capacities that made for the
advancement of those of the low estate, in not only the
mental and material but those that were without hope.
And this brought those influences that made for the
contrarywise influence that arise in the experience of the
entity in the present. Hence there are sudden likes and
dislikes for conditions or for peoples, or for individuals
even that attempt in this or that manner to rule by their
might or power that is not in its basis-influence the will of
others.
As to the abilities then, and that to which the entity may
attain in the present, and how:
In applying that which has been the experience in the
present, for the material things turn to the influences that
may be had by the very activity of self among its associates,
whether in state, in power, in activity; and for the
abilities for the entity to be a leader and a director in
whatever chosen field, these are not only innate but at times
have been manifested. To self alone the stopping of same has
been by the advice of those that hasn't always been the best.
But first study to show thyself approved unto thy Maker from
the influences from within, making for the basis of thine
activities that founded first in truth, in mind; for the Mind
IS the Builder, and will bring with those things builded -
the material manifestations of harmony, joy, in doing those
things that bring contentment for a life, an experience,
worth while.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Shall I follow singing, writing or teaching?
(A) Teaching, as we have indicated, that has been the
foremost activity and forte of the entity. For all of these
may be used in their proper sphere, but the abilities for the
teaching relationships stand first and foremost.
(Q) Are the influences of the A.M.O.M.A. and the school of
the Magi beneficial to me?
(A) They are beneficial, but are not always practical in
their application to the material things in the relationships
to others. Use that rather thou hast builded in thine own
experience, in not only the mental but the soul forces of
self; for, as has been given, for material things go in those
relationships to those thou hast aided. For thine mental and
spiritual development, for thy strength, go to the powers
that are raised from within.
(Q) Shall I break with the Magi?
(A) These, as we find, with the advancement, should make for
greater development in self by letting these be not as
breaking, but rather the self advancing beyond that which has
been set.
(Q) Advise the entity more specifically regarding how to
begin her work and teaching.
(A) As indicated, there are those in positions of power in
state, in politic, in the relationships of one to another,
who are in the position to aid the entity from the material
positions or places in gaining those necessary associations
for the activity. This from the material. As to the
applications of self, these should be more from within, by
the use of that which has been accomplished in its analyzing
of conditions, associations as to make same applicable in the
experience of others.
(Q) May I successfully follow writing, singing and teaching?
(A) Successfully follow teaching, and writing and singing
are - as given - a portion of the experience. But learn to
sing as with the soul; to write as was written by self during
those periods not only following the sojourn of the entity in
the material world in that land for those activities of the
peoples in and under the suppression of the Romans - but also
as to a companion mistrusted in the Spanish and French land.
Such writing would come as inspiration, if the attempts were
made in this direction.
(Q) Are my singing teacher's ambitions for me justified?
(A) If there's the application in self, yes.
(Q) Will I make a successful columnist?
(A) Rather in those fields that are of the broader; or the
special or individual writing, rather than the columnist - as
we find, that give place for the greater expansion of the
abilities in every field.
(Q) What type of writing would you advise for the entity?
(A) Special articles on the abilities of individuals to turn
within self for those things as indicated of the particular
periods, see?
The teachings, of course, are to be in those fields that come
with the Uranian experiences - or in the developments of the
soul forces within each entity.
We are through for the present.
