From Venus we find the creating, or making, or imposing into
the entity throughout its experience the innate seeking -
seeking - for that which in the material plane is an
expression of, and manifestation of, that which Venus
indicates in the thoughts of man; as it does in its environs;
Love, helpfulness, hopefulness, optimism in its broader,
greater sense. Yet these experiences in the entity's
application have been so often shattered. And as we shall
see, we will find out the WHY through the experiences in the
earth, and how this has been builded in the experience as
a karmic condition (as termed by some); for these are words
- just words, but carry - as does an impulse from within -
a meaning to an individual entity that to the entity is ALL
its own. Hence, as given, it IS the expression that makes
for growth within the soul forces of an entity. Hence it
may be said of the entity in this direction, GROWTH has been
and IS the experience of the entity in this sojourn. Then,
the lesson to be learned by the entity in this direction
in this experience is PATIENCE. This has, through the very
expression of love to the fellow man by the entity, been
a drawback. For oft has the entity in the experience,
in losing patience with others, with self, turned to material
urges that have brought confusion. Hence the warnings:
Judge spiritual urges in spiritual realms by spiritual
things, and material and mental urges only by material
application.
Yet this growth in the activities in the present from the
Venus sojourn has not always been tempered with a Mercurian
influence, for it has been rather in an adverse position -
through an influence of Saturn's activity in the experience.
Hence we find that tendency for the change when there were
those disturbing factors in the experience of the entity in
the present, to turn to seek in another direction. This is
from an influence, an indwelling in Saturn where even the
influences may have been perfected; yet they come as tests,
as trials, as experiences, that the injunction which has been
given may be fulfilled in the experience of the soul; "Stand
ye steadfast TODAY and see the glory of thy God WITHIN!"
Hence these have been as tendencies for the entity in the
experience to fail here, in that it turned occasionally to
those things that bespoke rather of the material things,
or the influences from without appeared to be as necessities
for the moment; losing patience with this, that, the other.
Patience is not as a passive thing, but patience is necessary
in the experience of each soul rather as a POSITIVE, ACTIVE
thing WITHIN the application of same. Thus an entity becomes
aware of its own soul and that soul's vision of the glories
that may be its experience in its associations with those
promises in the creative force of the soul along that IS
eternal and in the image of the Maker.
The Jupiterian influences, we find, have made and do make
for - in the expressions of the entity - a wide, broad field
of activity; which to an unstable one in the position of that
indicated as the experience of the entity, while it has its
advantageous experience also may become the very influence
of a stumbling experience for a soul. But the vision here
is, as we find, as it grows - the entity's ability in the
application of those attributes that have made for the
expending of self in love, in hope, and though wandering
afield at times in its inner self - those attributes of
patience become as applicable things in the experience with
that already gained. Then do those benevolent influences
from those visions and experiences in Jupiter bring a field
of activity for the entity that will make for happiness,
contentment, harmony, and those things that are of the
earth-earthy, yet may be used in the material expressions of
those benevolent influences that have been the privilege of
the entity in its application to have gained in Venus. Hence
we will find, if the entity will hold fast to that which
is good, rightly divining the words of truth, the days must
come in the earth yet when many will call it blessed and
count it a priviledge to have known, to have been priviledged
to have been a helpmeet for the entity in its activities in
the earth.
These as the spiritual.
As to the numerological influences, the color tones, that
have played and do play - from the material angle - an
influence in the experience of the entity, these - we shall
find - come more from particular or definite earthly sojourns
and the activities of the entity that were manifested during
such experiences.
As to the early sojourns, then:
Before this we find the entity was in that portion of the
native land during the periods when there were the settlings
of the land on the eastern coast, and when there were being
those conditions set up through those that were later called
the Quakers.
The entity was among those people that were active in that
land now known as Pennsylvania, with Penn, Chatham,
Chatterton, and the entity's own people - Hallowell
(Hellowell - it arose from a Dutch and English parentage).
Then in the name Edythe Hallowell, the entity made for the
applying of the principles that were presented by Chatham and
Chatterton at those relationships with the natives of the
land.
Early in years the entity began its activities among those
people. Hence those things pertaining to the active forces
of the Indians, as were called in that land; the medicine
man, the associations of the colors, the associations of
trinkets, the associations of the various activities that
had been handed down by the people from the mound worshipers
that had come into that portion of the land. The entity
gained much of an insight into how these had influenced the
people that, with the kindliness, the tenderness shown by
the leaders in that land, had affected and did affect the
people in such measures and manners as to cause them to
swear their allegiance to those people during the period
of activity of those people in the land.
This made for a SOUL development. The sojourns of the entity
in the land carried it among many of those in what later
became the northwest, in Ohio, Indiana, even into the
southernmost portions of Ontario, Michigan, Minnesota;
for to those peoples the entity became almost as a goddess.
And the worshipfulness shown the entity has made for the
tendencies to resort at times to form, colors, numbers,
conditions, to influence the material activities of others
as related to the body itself. A development, yes; tempered
in mercy and justice and, most of all, patience; for the
spiritual forces may bring harmony in such measures that
there will be an experience in the present that will carry
ON and ON in the establishing of that period when the glory
of the Father may - through the sons of men - walk and meet
His seekers face to face.
The experience has brought these to the entity: Sounds as
of the far away tinkle of the cymbal, as the rattle of the
drum - not of war but rather of service; those things that
pertain to the dance - not of the body but as of a service
- are an innate influence, and bring for the entity much
that often harkens to those experiences during that sojourn.
And if the entity listens within it becomes to the entity an
evidence of those experiences that the soul in THAT body,
Edythe Hallowell, gained in that sojourn; and in this
experience, as the entity finds these things rising within
let them rather than becoming the mysteries be as the
assurance of God, the Father, in that promise: "If ye will
keep my commandments in thine activities to thy fellow man,
I will bring to thy remembrance those things necessary for
the assurance that I will abide with thee." Ponder these
well in thine inner self, for they may become those things
whereupon thou may depend, where thou may gain strength,
where thou may find that succor, that aid, that will bear
thee up lest THOU - in thine lack of understanding - dash
thine head against a stone. For His love would constrain
thee, even as THOU in thine expression would constrain to
show that love thou has gained in thine experience, even as
this - the love for the souls of men that are the expression
in material bodies, flesh, of the love of the Father.
Before this we find the entity was during those periods when
there were the activities being carried on in the city of
many hills (or Seven Hills), when the persecutions arose,
and when those that had espoused the cause of the teachers
from the Holy Land were taken rather from place to place and
were HOUNDED - as it were - for their beliefs.
The entity then was a keeper of goats in the hills beyond
the city; beautiful in body, clearness of voice, of vision;
hearing only through the passersby that message that had
been carried by Peter, Paul and the other disciples that had
come to strengthen those. Yet when Titus and Philemon came
(for the entity was then among the daughters of Philemon,
the keeper, that sent his servant to Paul to strengthen him
while in the house), Titus then became as the teacher for
the entity - who was then in the name Sylvia. The entity
harkened to the teachings, yet kept an even balance; and
those things that pertained to the music of the reeds were
in the hands of the entity during that sojourn.
And the entity might have in the present made of itself
a musician on the flute or clarinet, or the reeded
instruments that would bespeak of the sylvian dells, the
great outdoors, the dance of the nymphs and of the gods and
of the beautiful things that are awakened with the touch of
the sun upon the hilltop, the gambol of the lamb, the goat,
and those in the earth or in the dell as they bespeak of the
glories of the activities of the Spirit of the One God upon
those things in the earth. For these were the dreams of the
entity, and the fantasies to which it turned its abilities
and activities during these periods of its greater
development. Yet when those hours came that were the needs
of strengthening those that were kept in the caves for days
when their cries might be heard by those who defied the
living God in bringing destructive forces by having them
called into the arena, the strength to many was given by
Sylvia as she came to encourage, to raise the hopes again
in that there had been the promise in those things that had
been seen by the entity through its activities in the lessons
it had gained by its closeness to nature, its closeness to
spiritual things that through the earthly expressions may
find the way to manifest their glory. For, as it had been
given by Him as He walked into the city, "Were the voices of
the people to be stopped, the very stones and the hills would
cry in their glory to the Father, the God." The entity had
experienced this in those moments when there had been the
pondering of those messages, those promises that Titus had
given to the entity in the walks and talks there.
Again in the expression in the present the entity has
found many of these confusing at times, for when there has
been the application to the material things in the present
many have called the entity impractical. And the lack of
the patience that was attained in that experience makes for
periods when doubts and confusions arise in the experience
of the entity in the present. Yet, as has been indicated,
if the entity will turn within it may gain the lessons again
that were given by that Teacher among men, learn again those
messages with which it strengthened those when the fear of
death was upon those that were young and strong in body,
those that were old and were being separated from those they
loved the most in the earth, and how that strengthening cry
went up; "Lo, I am with thee always, even unto the end of the
world! Put thine trust in me and thou wilt know that thy
Redeemer liveth, and thou shalt see Him as He is." For He
has promised that He will comfort and strengthen and sustain
those that to their fellow man show forth the love of the
Father. And he that doeth those kindnesses to his fellow
man lendeth to the Lord, and He has prepared those mansions
- even as He has given, "I prepare a place where I am there
ye may be also." If the entity will ponder upon these
messages that the entity gave in those experiences as Sylvia,
the shepherdess, the one that strengthened so many in those
days, there will come a strength, a glory, a vision, an
understanding that will raise thee up above. But "He that
is the servant of all is the greatest among thee!"
Before that we find the entity was in that land now called
the Egyptian, during those periods when there was the exodus
of the people from that land going into the promised land.
The entity then was among the daughters of Aaron, that was
the teacher with Moses the leader, the son of Egypt that
with his peoples chose to carry those forward. The entity
kept well into the teachings in those experiences. And when
there were the rebellions when the sons of Korah were
destroyed, the entity had turned rather to those things that
bespoke of the adding to, even as the brethren had done,
when Nabad and Abihu offered strange fire. The ENTITY
offered strange fire in those things that became an
abomination in the days of Korah, and the earth swallowed
up the household of Abazeal, the daughter of Aaron. For
in that experience did the troublesome things that make
for the aggrandizement through position and power, the
aggrandizement of selfish interests, bring those things
of defiance to the lessons and tenets and applications
of extremes in a material world.
In the present we find from the experience, innately, the
periods of rebellions that arise. Hence the necessity of
those injunctions that have been shown: Learn ye patience!
Bear ye one with another and thus wholly fulfill the laws
of love, for these are they whose feet shall walk in the
pathway of light and lead many aright. Go not after the
strange paths that lead into destructive forces even as
Korah.
Before that we find the entity was among the Arabian people
that when into Egypt during the periods when there were the
advancements and the establishment of Ra-Ta as the Priest
for the bringing together of those that understood the
relationships between man and man, and those between the
Maker - in the manifestations in the earth - and the people
that would purify themselves to become living examples in
the earth.
The entity then was among the daughters of Ra-Ta that went
into Egypt, yet when the rebellions arose there were
separations from the activities and the entity joined then
with those of Ibex that made for the destruction in those
portions of the land.
With the return of the Priest from the Abyssinian land, and
the beginnings of the activities with the people that came
from the Atlantean land, the entity again - in the name
Ali-Shepht - made for ovations to the Priest and the
activities in aiding to establish those things known NOW
as the medical, the application of the material things from
the earth for the healings, and for the things that brought
strength to weakened bodies - in the stimulations of same.
The entity then advanced to a position of aid and help;
becoming that would be termed in the present among the first
to be established as nurses in the infirmaries that were
established in the land; gaining much from these experiences;
but when there arose again the dissensions between those from
the Atlantean land and the natives, the entity brought
turmoils to self by the harkening to the incantations that
were made, and the figures and signs and omens that were set
aside, rather than following those that were being presented
by those in the Temple Beautiful. But in the latter days
the entity again returned to the fold, when there had been
the regeneration of the Priest, or the father, and the entity
aided then in bringing the lessons of the law of One to the
peoples in many varied lands.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and
that to which it may attain and how:
As has been indicated by the experiences of the entity in
that which is innate and builded within the self, study to
show thyself approved unto Him. For if the heart is singing
with the beauties and joys that may come in the service to
the fellow man, it bespeaks of those things that answer from
within as to the life being made as a channel of blessing to
the fellow man - and IN the path of glory for the
companionship with Him.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What shall I do to be financially successful at this
time?
(A) First find in self that in which the applications of the
abilities thou hast in body and in mind are founded, and seek
thou those realms wherein these may be put into practical
application, and in the associations of those relations
whereunto thou may bring to others not only tenets but living
truths within self; and these will bring the returns as their
natural consequence. For, as He has given, man may labor in
this or that field; God alone can give, does give, the
increase.
Let thy life and thy activities with thy fellow man be in
accord with that thou hast determined, and leave the increase
of the financial or material gains in his hands.
(Q) Are there any special persons that could help me?
(A) They will be pointed out to thee; for, as He has given,
"I will guide, I will direct thee, in the way that thou
shouldst go."
(Q) Am I breaking any special law that causes conditions
to be as they are?
(A) As indicated, study that thou hast given; for ye shall
find. He that seeks shall find. Study to show thyself
approved unto thy Maker, correctly DIVINING, dividing, the
words of truth.
(Q) Would I do better in the business world?
(A) No.
We are through for the present.
