TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [772], and those relations with the universe and universal forces that are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In an astrological aspect, you will find these have altered much through the application of the entity's will regarding associations and relations, MAKING much of the environment for self.
3. From the astrological viewpoint, and many of those conditions that are innate, we find the entity's influences in Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and in Uranus. In the conditions, then, that make for influences these built, irrespective of the will, or these conditions as NATURAL influences:
4. One of high mental ability, capable in many fields of endeavor. Applying self irrespective of the influence has made rather the commercialized or commercial influence in the entity's experience. Not that the entity isn't a home builder, as may be seen - but such a place, or the home, to the entity is BUILDED rather upon a line, than wholly in that ORDINARILY termed home influence; builded rather in the line of - not as duty, but as privileges rather than duty, or love. There's a differentiation! though to some this may be hard lines. To the entity it's entirely different.
5. In the Jupiter influence, these make for a broad scope of activity, bringing many of the conditions that are of an earthly, mental, and spiritual aspect to the entity.
6. In the afflictions, this also should be as a warning to the entity - and especially when the influences in the next two years are ADVERSE to some from Jupiter's influence - beware of infections in the body, and keep an even balance in the eliminations; else the tendency WILL be - without regarding the warning - of there being accumulations, as sacs, or pus sacs in the system. Bewaring, then, of these - they may be made physically helpful to the body.
7. In the Uranian influences, these make for that termed by others as eccentricities in the activities of the entity. While to self these are natural, to others they are at times considered rather as poses, and are misconstrued. These have builded much that makes for the SEEMING indifference on the part of the entity as to the others' ideas or others' FEELINGS as respecting associations or relations. In these conditions also are those aspects that have been altered by the entity's application of self in the various experiences in the earth's plane. Is it a wonder, with the change, that oft those who have known the entity have given rise to the expression, "Pity the body wasn't a man"?
8. In the conditions builded, then, we find one as of a high ideal as respecting morals and moral relations. The code of ethics by the entity, as assumed, as lived, as given to others in expression, is sometimes questioned by others - yet to the entity these conditions are the experiences of self.
9. In the likes and dislikes of the entity, these are not assumed - rather are they a combination of latent urges and those things builded as personalities, or rather individualities of the entity.
10. Conditions that pertain to relationships of groups, of business associations, are of the great interest to the entity, and so - on account, as given, of that builded - correlated with experience and are NOT assumed.
11. As an executive in commercialized ideas, the entity is excellent.
12. As one that looks for the details, these are forced issues rather, for the entity - innately and intuitively - sees business associations or propositions as a whole, almost immediately.
13. In the home, those that make or the conditions that make the home livable - rather than building.
14. In the relationships with others, choosing friendships rather severely; rather the critic in self than of others, BY comparisons.
15. In the appearances and their effect upon the present experience:
16. In the one before this we find during the period in the present sojourn of the entity when there were the settlings in then the northwest. The entity was among those who occupied that place then known as Dearborn, and the entity acted in the capacity of the assistant to those that kept law and order when it was first established among the peoples. Being much of a diplomat, the entity often aided in making the decisions in the relationships with the natives that gathered about. The entity gained MOST in this period, losing only in that period when personal interest caused the entity to decide against the native. In the name Enid. In the present experience this influence is as of the good business body, and capable of knowing or seeing deals in their infinity - almost.
17. In the one before this we find in that land known as the French, and during the periods when there were the first establishings of the places for worship. The entity was then much in favor with those who drew plans for any of the various places in the land, and was considered then as an excellent one in this field of endeavor. Gaining AND losing in this experience. The entity suffered much in body through this experience, by the various exposures necessary in the elements and those fields as pertain to archaeological lines are innate; also the outdoors or the sport exercise comes from this experience as an influence. In the name Celia.
18. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during that period when there were the rebuildings of those peoples to establish the closer relationships between the peoples and the peoples' relationships to the universal forces. The entity was then among those who, with a helpmeet [261] in the period, gave much in constructive ideas and ideals to the common people, or the native people - as called in that period, or to the masses. The entity gained through this experience, for the entity was in the capacity of the one establishing relationships in the financial endeavors that were given in the meting out of the peoples those stores of replenishing or rebuilding, or putting into the effect those tenets as laid out by the priest, the king, and the teachers of the period. The entity then in the name Io-Toth-Tic. In the present, that rote in many things is innate from THIS experience - yet the greater field of study as related to figures, facts, data, or such, is also obtained innately and manifestedly as builded through this experience.
19. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Peruvian, and the entity was then among those who - as a high priestess - led a peoples into a northern land, now known as Yucatan, and the entity was the priestess in the TEMPLE as builded there. Again we find the exercising of judicial influences and forces that pertain to the many varied characters of peoples, whether as to worshipfulness or what. In this experience the entity was rather the sun worshiper, and the taker of blood. Hence in those forces that pertain to such conditions, a shudder is often felt, and a grudge against those who understand such conditions.
20. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
21. In the IDEALS that are set may the entity gain much from the experiences through the earth's plane, as to their waverings from or towards CREATIVE forces and creative energies within self's own expression, and may bring - through the intuitive forces of the entity - a better understanding of its relationships to individuals, to those who depend upon the entity directly or those who IN PART depend upon the entity, by the ACTIVITIES of the entity in their VARIED relations.
22. In these studies, in the application of self towards assistance to those closest in contact - both as to material, mental and spiritual forces - if attuned properly - the entity may gain and apply self in this experience. Mete to him who seeks his as the builder in the physical. He that seeks not finds not. "SEEK and ye shall find". Ready for questions. We are through for the present.
