In this same urge we find there are those things pertaining
to the greater relationships of individuals as to groups,
as to masses, as to environs, as to hereditary environment,
as to the influences in their activity, will be as urges
and as visions and as dreams of the entity. For people as
groups, as masses, are rather as the entity's vision than the
whole. While detail is an experience, rather does the entity
see and vision in the broader sense; and this same environ or
urge will bring the environ in which material things of great
earthly value may be in the experience of the entity during
this present sojourn. True, since the adverse influences
in Jupiterian activity for the last nine months - yea, twelve
months - there has been only the rather adverse, save during
the period of the entity's nativity or month of birth; yet
very soon - yea, in three days - changes are to be eminent
in the experience of the entity; that is, the opportunities
for these. As to the application, or that an entity in the
manifested manner does ABOUT the opportunities, this is up
to the entity - but the urge does and will present itself.
The influence in Mercury, combined with the Jupiterian,
make for abilities in those fields of activity that will
deal with masses and groups and states and societies and
associations, and those things that have to do with the
leading of thought in varied directions and activities.
Not that there have not been periods of wonderment, the
disturbing conditions that prevent the entity from its
application of the knowledge that has been maintained and
acquired within experience of the soul throughout its
sojourns in the earth, but the judgements and the acquiring
of the understandings are EMINENT in the urges of the inner
self. Making the application becomes, then, the problem in
the experience in the present.
Then, the influences from Venus are third or secondary
conditions. The judgements have brought about, will bring
about, conditions in the love affairs, in the relationships
with friends and individuals of a rather extraordinary or
unusual sort of experience. For when those things that make
for separations and divisions in the material affairs have
ridden rather in the activities of those things about the
entity, they have brought distraughtness at times; yet the
judgements, the visions that have sustained the entity are
those that will make for with the application in the present
experience - many looking to the entity for guidance in their
relationships, their activities, towards others. From the
same we find friendships are of a peculiar importance in the
experience of the entity. One lesson learned, and must be
learned in the experience: No soul in manifested form has
so many friends that it may justly say "I have no need of
another," or "I can afford to lose this or that." Greater
are the friendships of those that are indeed friends, than
they who have been commonly welded through the relationships
even in blood.
As to the experiences then that may come to the entity
through these influences from the soul or entity's sojourn
in these environs:
One broad of vision. One that is as a complement to those
that are of the birthdates that are after the fifteenth
of October and the first of December of any year.
One that in its relationships or associations will do the
better with those associations in commercial relations whose
birthdates are between the twenty-second of December and the
eleventh of February, in any year; for, as has been given,
numberological influences, the vibrations from associations
by activities in the earth, create or make for - or are -
influences through which the sensitiveness of the entity may
develop or gain much.
Then, as to the appearances in the earth and their influence
in the present experience of the entity:
Before this we find the entity was during those periods
in the land of the present nativity, when there were the
settlings in what is now the New England land, or the
vineland, about those places known as Salem, Providence Town,
Newburgh Town.
The entity then was among and in relationships with those
that were persecuted for their relationships with the
activities known as visions, experiences, relationships
of activities from without. And in the name Dale Alison
did the activities of the entity make for aid to those that
were persecuted, those that were questioned as to their
visions, as to their activities.
And in the present experience of the entity this has made
for its abilities in those directions for the maintaining
of the relationships with individuals who were oft questioned
as to their activities with groups that might be questioned
from the political or social activities in the material
conditions. Yet the entity was not one that had aided in
such, but rather the innate expressions of the finesse'
of the love influence in the experience; gaining from the
spiritual and soul development, losing from the material
conditions in that experience.
In the Salem vicinity may there still be found the records,
both as to the recorded and as to the nature of hearsay.
And those in Elm Cot [Misses [
283] & [
2842] - see 691-1,
Par. R1], those in that environ may assist the entity in
acquiring knowledge concerning that individual experience.
In the present, in making applications of that gained,
study in self to know the sources of that which has prompted
the activity of individuals that have swayed the action
of the groups, the masses, the classes of individuals in
all of their dealings with their fellow man. For in that
field may the application bring to the entity the awakenings
of those influences from that sojourn, whether in the
artistic temperament of the entity or the recording of same.
Before that we find (among those that influence in the
present) the entity was in that land now known as the
Grecian, among those peoples when there were the questionings
of those teachers that arose; or in the periods when
Socrates, Plato, Pliny and those of that thought -
of Hercules and those activities - were upon the minds
and hearts and experiences of those individuals.
The entity then was among those of the household of one
Pontius, in the name Gracien; and was rather of that
understanding gained by many in the discerning of the
variations in the activities of people through the
discussions of the day.
From the experience the entity comes to be a good listener,
and one that is capable of making in its own experience
the most of that gained by the listening to discussions
here, there; rather the follower during the experience
of the Socrates school, for those were the activities that
brought the developments in the experience, though applying
self rather in that field of activity that has made for the
greater renown of the Grecian architectural activities.
Hence in the present we find, too, those things of any
particular period or experience of individuals or
associations during particular periods, that were influenced
whether by war, thought or expression in the various
activities, are of particular interest to the entity -
especially in its study, its reason, its vision, its
activities in the present; and, as has been indicated, these
make for the abilities whereunto the entity may apply itself
the greater in the present experience.
Before that we find the entity was in that land now known
as or called the Egyptian, during the periods when there
were turmoils and strife, when there were the rebellions
in the land and those from the Abyssinian and Atlantean lands
were being gathered in their efforts to not only maintain
but to influence the activities of those in that particular
land.
The entity then, as a bride of the ruler from the Atlantean
land, in the name Azuel, came with those peoples from the
Atlantean to the Egyptian land. And as there were the
reestablishings of the thought given by the Priest who
returned to the land, and the correlating of the experiences
of the Atlantean, the entity rose to one of power, one of
position. For the entity then presided over those that were
in the Temple Beautiful, where there was not only the dance,
not only the activity in the Temple of Sacrifice, but the
cleansing and the adornment of the body - with the cleansing
of the physical for the greater manifestations of the
spiritual thoughts that were shown through the music
of the Temple, through the dressings and hangings; and these
experiences brought for the entity a position wherein many
not only of the natives, not only of the sojourners, but
the distribution of the thought with the establishing of the
schools, with the decorations that were begun in the bodies
of those that were set aside for the special service, were
led in those things by the entity.
Hence those things that pertain to the adornment of the body,
those things that pertain to the decorations of home,
those things that pertain to the abilities of individuals
to influence such things in the lives and experience of many,
have their influence upon the entity in the present. And in
the recording of these in their proper relationships as one
to another may the entity apply self more in the present.
Before that we find the entity was in that land now known
as the American, during the periods when there were the
sojourning of those from the land of Mu, or Lemuria.
The entity was then among the first of those that were born
in what is now portions of Arizona and of Utah, and among
those that established the lands there for the building up
or growing up of that civilization in those experiences;
and was in the name Uuluoou.
In the experience the entity led many for a greater
understanding of how there might be made the closer
relationships with the material things and the spiritual
thoughts of the people.
This also brings a latent urge in the experience of the
entity.
From these, then, we find as this - in which the entity may
apply self in the present, for not only its own soul
development but as indicated - may give the greater to those
whom the entity may contact in its abilities to give
expressions to the innate and manifested experiences of the
entity and soul through its sojourns in the earth:
There is rather, first, the self to conquer. Then may there
be given through thine abilities that which may be the more
helpful, the more promising, the more inspiring to others
for their activity.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What specific life work would you advise for the entity?
(A) The greater accomplishment may be made in writing.
(Q) What type of writing?
(A) That which deals rather with the larger groups, the
masses, and the impelling influences that prompt same.
(Q) Should the body develop her talent for voice, or for
the stage?
(A) That which gives the abilities for the greater
expressions of those things that make for the motivating
forces, for the MOVING others, would be the greater talent.
Hence the stage, but the writing - then - will become the
greater MOVING force for the entity.
(Q) Just how should I prepare for the stage work?
(A) In those preparations that go with the regular forms,
or through the regular channels for preparations; both as
to body and as to expression, and the activities necessary
for same.
(Q) Is it wise to continue my connection in my present
position?
(A) If this leads to that which is being sought, wise to
continue in the present.
(Q) From whom should I seek assistance in a career?
(A) In self first conquer self, as indicated. Then will it
be shown in the relationships of the activities with others;
for there are those regular channels through which those
seeking such an activity may find the greater channel for
giving expression of self. Through those groups, then, that
are prepared for such activities.
(Q) Do I have a voice fitted to sing grand opera?
(A) This would require a great deal of activity in those
fields that apparently are not open in the present, yet with
the abilities in the field of the WRITING there will be
brought those associations and relations that will develop
same.
(Q) Will you advise more specifically regarding the type
and character of writing?
(A) That which pertains to, first, articles in the various
channels for outlet of same; pertaining to the various fields
of activity. For the imaginative forces, the abilities for
expression in these fields are BEYOND the ordinary.
But wear the stone ever about the body, and TOUCHING the
body.
(Q) Do you mean fiction?
(A) Fiction - in articles that pertain to such activities,
yes.
(Q) What particular activities do you refer to?
(A) Those that are necessary for the creating of such
activity in self! That is, BEGIN! See? Commence! Start!
THAT'S activity! The abilities are there!
(Q) Should I seek a change of environment in the near
future?
(A) If these developments are carried on - that is, in the
first field as given, that may lead to the carrying out of
the expression in voice, the expression in the active forces
before the greater influencing of individuals - these will
MAKE for the change in environment!
(Q) Is there any other advice or guidance regarding the
writing at this time?
(A) First, in the understanding of self and those impulses
that motivate same, study those influences that have been
given; and it will be seen in what fields of activity there
may be the expression of self in the writings and in the
expressions of self as to the voice, the body, the
relationships with individuals. And this will give the
opportunities for the greater material and soul development;
letting all be tempered with the spiritual, that the results
may ever be constructive.
We are through for the present.
