Then we find not only the influences from the astrological
sojourns but from the material environments of the entity
under such conditions where there were given, as it were, by
those environs in which the entity enacted its sojourns in
the earth, the accrediting of activities in the associations
of that sojourn, that have builded for omens, the
numerological, those that are often called the superstitions
of the people in the various environs. Hence we find these
as those things that should be in the form of omens about the
body; not as good luck charms, but they may be termed so by
many; for these are from those activities and sojourns that
will make for variations in the VIBRATIONS about the entity,
hence bringing much more of harmony into the experience of
the entity in the present activity: The very red stones; as
of coral, that is rather of the deep sea variety, and when
this is worn about the neck or about the waist - or upon the
arm - let it rest upon the flesh, for it will bring quiet to
the body. Let the raiment be something of blue, EVER, upon
the flesh of the body, whether in the waking or in the
sleeping - and especially in the sleeping hours, for it will
bring the influences as the music that quiets, through the
vibrations that are set off by such. And let the numbers as
in three, six and nine ever be the choice, whether in the
activities in the material, in the sojourn, in the position,
in the place, or in WHATEVER the activities may be; for these
carry with them their vibration by the NATURAL relative
forces to the human emotions. And the body will find that
the unquiet and the tumultuous conditions will be changed to
the harmonious abilities to give out. And if a body-mind, a
body-physical, a soul-body would have understanding, then
GIVE - that it may have. For they that would have life,
love, hope, faith, brotherly love, kindness, gentleness,
mercy, must SHOW these things in their relationships to those
they meet in every walk of life. Dare to speak gently, when
even thine self is troubled. Dare to speak gently when thou
art even berated by those from whom, in the MATERIAL sense,
ye have every right to expect or to even demand honor, and
hope, and faith. Though they act in the opposite, with these
environs about self as intimated the entity will be able to
meet such; not as omens, not as good luck, but as facts for
thine OWN development. For thy soul has been tried as by
fire through many of thine experiences in the earth. Yet
there are those things that make for harmony in their
relationships as one to another, as do the turmoils of the
mother-water that brings forth in its activity about the
earth those tiny creatures that in their beginnings make for
the establishing of that which is the foundation of much of
those in materiality. Hence the red, the deep red coral,
upon thine flesh, will bring quietness in those turmoils that
have arisen within the inner self; as also will the pigments
of blue to the body bring the air, the fragrance of love,
mercy, truth and justice that is within self.
As to the astrological sojourns that the entity has
experienced, we find adverse influences through the Venus
sojourn; bringing those experiences - in its relationships
with the MENTAL activities of individuals - of many
disappointments, many experiences in friendships that have
made at times fears - even to the entity - to give even
confidences to those that in the flesh and in the material
things had felt that these would be so helpful. But there is
being pointed out not elementals save those that have been
builded into materiality, that may aid and strengthen the
relationships in those things about self, those very
conditions. To thine own self in these relationships be
true, and thou wilt not be false to any - to whom thou
shouldest show forth in thine life, thine expression of life,
thine activities in the material things, the love even of the
Father. BE rather, then, in thine associations in
friendships, the impersonal; yet with the love of thy fellow
man so deep, so high, as to show forth THAT love that passeth
understanding. For REST rather in those promises that He has
given, in "A new commandment I give, that ye love one
another," and thus FULFIL the law of love. Love IS law, law
IS love, to those that love HIS appearing.
From the influences in Mercury we find one of high MENTAL
application, yet not always has the entity found it in self
to easily discern whose end was in the constructive
direction. Then, those that proclaim the love of
CONSTRUCTIVE thought are those things that may bring in thine
mental and in thine spiritual experience the CONSTRUCTIVE
experiences in thine moral, thine social, thine commercial
life. For if ye be not founded in grace and mercy to thy
fellow man, may thou expect grace and mercy from thy Maker?
For ye are HIS in the earth, and as ye show forth the Lord in
thine activity do ye gain understanding as to that which is
helpful, that is hopeful, that is peace-giving. Cry not
"Peace, Peace" when thou, thyself, hast not SHOWN peace to
thy brethren!
The influences in Jupiter we find as a great breadth, as a
piling up - as it were - of associations, meeting numbers and
large numbers of individuals and groups. Yet as individuals
does the entity come into the experience of many that the
entity never sees; for MANY are and will be dependent upon
the activities of this soul in its experience for their
security in materiality, as well as in the MENTAL self. And
these in the greater portion will never be seen or known
MATERIALLY to the entity. This is through the very
application of the abilities of the entity in its activity
among its fellow man. Hence that injunction, being true to
self thou canst not be false to those that are DEPENDING upon
THY inner decisions.
As we find also, this - in the later portion of the entity's
sojourn in this earth, if the foregoing are made a part of
the entity's experience - WILL BRING comforts of the material
nature, surroundings of those things termed as luxuries of a
material world. Use same wisely!
As to the experiences in the earth and their influence upon
the entity, in those things that come as the motivative
forces in its associations with others - or through the
impulse of that called the SENSE world of the entity's
experience, we find:
Before this the entity lived in the earth during those
periods when there were the settlings in this land of the
present nativity, in those lands adjoining nigh unto the
present place of entrance.
And we find the entity was among the natives of that land,
but in those positions where the very associations with those
of its environs brought that activity which made for the
carrying ON of those things that dealt with the taking away,
the adding to, the decisions, in the counsels of the natives.
For the entity was among those that were so closely
associated with what is ordinarily termed the "medicine man"
of those peoples of Powhatan's rule, of those peoples even
far to the north in the Susquehannas, and was in the name
then of Iu-go-dd.
In the experience the entity brought much to those peoples in
the way of the bettering not only of the conditions of those
who came as settlers in the land, but when there were shown
the dispositions of those in the north for the brotherly love
- and those in the south for the closer social or living
relations - the entity became divided as to that experience
in the lives of their own peoples, and as to what it must
eventually bring.
Hence in the present we find those things that continue to
make for, in the experience of the entity, social or moral or
marital relations bringing experiences that are hard to be
understood. Yet if these are used, even as the entity made
application, and as given by Him who IS the Giver of light,
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God
the things that are God's," these things will be understood.
Give, in thine understanding, the correct interpretation of
the motivating forces, and KNOW - in the hands of the Giver -
all worketh together for good to those that love the Lord.
From that experience also we find those peculiar activities
of the entity, that may be relations in the present, as to
how then many people of many lands, many environs and many
circumstance depended upon the entity. So in the present
does the scope of the entity's activity ever reach from the
high to the low. And to him who is given much, of him much
is required. Not as a duty, but consider ever a service thou
may render as a PRIVILEGE for THY portion of the
manifestation of thy God in the earth.
Before that (among those that influence the entity in the
present) we find the entity was in the earth during those
days when there were the persecutions of those that had
chosen to follow the tenets of those of the Promised Land, or
that teacher that had come into the earth and whose followers
were little fearful of those things that partook of the
aggrandizing of thoughts and things of the body.
The ENTITY then was among the daughters of Priscilla, to whom
Paul came, who with Priscilla and with those activities
rendered such a service to those in that experience;
suffering in body yet glorying in the ability of giving of
self in those things that would bespeak that gentleness of
purpose that was exemplified in the life of Priscilla and
Aquila (the father) in that experience.
In the spiritual and mental life the entity GAINED, though
lost in material things - yet counted it all as gain, that
there might be given of the body for those tenets and truths
that were embraced in the experiences during that sojourn.
And this makes for the experiences in the present where there
are the attempts so often to atone, or to make drudges for
self for those things. RATHER know ye that the Lord loveth
rather that of love than sacrifice; rather the purposes, the
aims, the desires! WHAT is thy desire toward thy fellow man?
What is that motivating thy activities? Let the love of the
Father CONSTRAIN thee!
Before that we find the entity was in those fields of
activity during the coming together of the people in the
hills and the plains when the teacher Uhjltd was making for
the gathering of many that made for aid to the body and to
the mind of the wayfarers, of the sojourners, of those that
would come and go in that land of awakening for many.
The entity was among the people from the Indian land that
came and went with the exchange of the commercial intercourse
between the Egyptian and Indian and Mongolian land, and the
entity - through those associations - came to be among those
that kept the counsel by the keeping of the records of those
as to the needs of exchange, or what would be termed in
common parlance as the keeper of the records of the collector
at the port, or at the exchange place in that particular
environ; in the name then Zu-lezu.
In the experience the entity gained in the SPIRITUAL
development, gained in the material development; for many
were those people who depended upon the choice, the
relationships, the decisions of the entity for not only the
material things of their life but for the mental and
spiritual development - as to their relationships to the
tenets being given in that particular experience.
As to the application to self in the present, in the
activities as a keeper of records, as to the activities and
associations of others, there comes and will come an outlet
for the ENTITY'S expression. Yet in the latter days in this
experience we will find, as in the sojourn in that Arabian
land (and particularly some influences in the dress are seen
from that sojourn), there will be rather the days when others
will bring to the entity the fruits of the service in the
land - rather than in the activities of self - for the
counsel, and for the change that will come about.
Before that we find the entity was in that Egyptian land
during the periods when there were the disseminations of
those tenets that had been through the activity of the
regenerations of the Priest, and those that were giving out
the medical associations and laws as related to individuals
with individuals.
The entity then was among those people that were in the
Arabian land, who aided in - and helped in - disseminating
those tenets that later arose as the Chaldean development,
that rose high during those sojourns of many that are even
yet recorded in history. There has been the recent
excavation in Ur, where the entity - in 10,500, or 10,420 -
lived in that land; and a vase or an urn - where there is the
piper, with the drawing of the chariot - that was a portion
of the entity's own household goods. It's BLUE in color.
Hence blue is ever bringing harmony.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to
which it may attain and how:
Learn that quiet first within self, from within, through
those applications not only of the material things but from
the counsel and meditating from within self; and ye shall
stand approved unto Him, wherein there may be the peace and
harmony and joy of a life lived in an active service for not
only thy fellow man but - FORGETTING self - pressing on to
the mark of the higher calling set in Him, to that day when
ye shall stand as a light to many, as a guide to those in the
dark ways, and PROCLAIM the acceptable year of thy Lord!
Ready for questions.
(Q) I would like to know very much how long I will live on
this earth plane.
(A) Rather choose thou, "How long may I serve my God, my
fellow man, through giving service to Him?" And stand ever
in that position: "I am ready, Lord, to serve wherever, in
WHATEVER realm, THOU choosest that I may be of the greater
service!" Many days, many years wait before thee. Do ye not
know, "Honor thy father, thy mother, that thy days may be
LONG in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee"? Dost
thou choose? It is before thee; choose thou!
(Q) What will I be in my next incarnation?
(A) This depends upon what thou doest with thine abilities
in the present. In the next, as we find, in a position of
power; in those realms of not political, but rather social
relation.
(Q) What shade of blue should the entity use in her dress?
(A) Turquoise!
(Q) Should the coral, as suggested, be any particular shape
or carving?
(A) No particular shape, just so it is mounted so that the
coral itself may be upon the flesh of the body.
Keep that thou hast PURPOSED in thine heart, that thou wilt
serve thy Lord. Let others do as they may; choose thou this:
"As for me, I will serve the LIVING God; not a dead one, not
an outlook for that outside of my self - for He meets with
me, and I am happy in Him."
We are through.

you helped me interpret it, the last paragraph stated that
before I left this earth my life would be filled with every
LUXURY and that I should spend same wisely. And don't you
