Jupiter makes for those periods when there have been great
expectations in the hopes mentally, in the visions of
association, and making for the activities of the entity in
every phase of its experience as of a broad field of vision.
Yet in the last few years, as Jupiter has been in adverse
influence with the entity, there has come in the material
expression those things that have wrought much in the MENTAL
and the material forces of the entity that has brought
questionings. And if Mercury and Venus had not been in a
benevolent influence, there would have been those periods
that have come at times - when burdens were as most too much
for the mental body. Yet in the mercies of those influences
that have come in the sojourns and activities of the entity,
and in the application of that in which the entity has made
for during these experiences the light breaks, the dawn is at
hand for the entity, and those benevolent influences of
Jupiter with Venus and Mercury make for the next three and a
half to four years - beginning almost at once - periods when
the greater awakening from the spiritual impulses, the
spiritual life, will come. And, as has been experienced
again and again, and as may be realized in the understanding
of the entity, those that be on the Lord's side, those whom
the Lord would favor, WHO may say aught against same? KNOW
within thine inner self thou hast run the life well; He is at
hand.
In Mercury we have the high mental abilities; as in Venus
the great love influence, and at times in the entity's
experience that of indulgence because of the love, the
indulgence because of the greater feeling, has at times made
for - later - those experiences that have made for some
wonderments and feelings as of doubting self as to what were
the proper precautions or the proper attitudes to take. Yet
these may be found as an answer in much that may be in the
experience of the entity in the coming year and years, for
as ye mete so is it meted to thee again. And as His promises
have been, and as His judgements are upon the sons of men,
"As ye do it unto the least of my little ones, ye do it unto
me." So shall thy inner influence show that, though these
may have questioned, thy friendships, thy loves, shall not
forsake thee, nor shall any make thee afraid.
As to the appearances in the earth and those that influence
the entity in the present, we find these:
Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, during those early years when there was the
establishing of the settlements in this land; when from the
English land and from the adjoining lands there were those
brought to the land that were to become as the helpmeets for
the natives.
The entity was among those that came, and was chosen by those
in activity and among those with whom the entity has in the
present been the closely - the closer even - associated, made
for the activities that through the experience brought both
developments and retardments; those periods when there were
the questionings and those periods when there were the
buildings for the inner and soul selves of those peoples
beginning in a new land.
In the name then of Aesuewell in the experience, the entity
made for the activities that established for customs of a
new people, those that separated those activities from the
activities in other portions of the same land; making for
those periods when there was a development of a national or
state influence (or both) of those groups among whom the
entity was associated.
We will find from that experience in the present that there
have been those associations, those activities of the entity
when those questions of state or of national importance have
been discussed; or that were to be discussed or presented by
varied groups, have been in the provisions of the entity.
As to whether these were or are taken as a portion of the
entity's activity has been the choice of the entity. And in
these same associations may much of that by word of mouth, by
tenet, by BEING that which makes for the promptings of others
in their activities or their associations as one to another,
make for a growth in the entity's experience.
Before that we find the entity was in the English land,
during those periods of the one called Alfred the Great.
The entity then was among those that were of the household,
or in those environs of the household of that ruler; making
for an activity in which there were many changes as to the
relationships of those that were in the various stations of
life, as of those that served and those that were of the
serving, as those that were of the laboring people, as those
who were of the directing peoples. And as to the moral, the
mental and the spiritual life did the entity induce many to
make for those establishings in that period of the justice
among many, rather than the voice or the dictates of one
individual. Hence as is in the experience and has been in
the experience of the entity in the present, oft there have
come those questions when there must be the judgement of
many, or as of custom or as of those of position, or as those
of state; and the entity has oft been resorted to or come to
as one to make decisions in such experiences. The name then
was Lilian.
The experience before that was in the Grecian land, when
there were changes being made in the studies of the
activities of individuals in other lands, when there were
the wars among those in the isles of the sea, when there was
the descending of those of that civilization that arose from
an Egyptian association with those in the isle of Crete, of
Malta. These the entity saw during those activities, when
there were the rejoicings for the new activities that arose
by the activities that brought those isles under those
associations of the proletariat and the protectorate of that
group. For the entity then was among the rulers of the land,
aiding in those activities; and in establishing that period
which began as of the higher culture in art, in music, in the
various developments in that particular land.
The entity made for the advancements in giving out to those
of all stages of activity the benefits of that gained by
those sojournings in those other lands, in the name then
Xerces.
In the present those things that pertain to many of the lost
arts, as were established by those peoples, are of particular
interest. Those things that have to do with the Grecian
culture, the Grecian architecture of those periods, are of
particular interest to the entity. And the deeper forces of
giving to others that which will be of the helpful influence
in their advancement also arise from those experiences.
Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land,
as now known, during those periods when there were turmoils
and strifes through those upheavals by the rebellions in the
land; during those periods when the Atlanteans were entering,
and when those of the now called Arabian and Persian lands
were seeking for an entrance.
The entity was among the natives of the land that were in
the associations and activities of the king deposed, but
rather among the princesses of that land. As the rebellions
and changes came about, the entity embraced the activities
of the Atlanteans' experience, the Atlanteans' teachings,
and later - with the reestablishing of the Priest, with the
beginning of the disseminations of those activities - where
there were those understandings of the relationships with the
material things that partook of health-giving forces to the
body, those things as of the air and water that make for the
health-giving to the mental forces and the influences of the
fire or the purifying began to be understood - the entity
then made for great activities among those associated in the
Temple service, the Temple activities.
Hence customs, symbols, omens, are a portion of the entity's
innate and manifested self from experience to experience.
And these may bring into the experience in the present a
greater understanding of those relationships of the souls of
men to the Creative Forces in its activities through those
forces of flesh and mind that make known the mysteries of
nature, the mysteries of the spiritual forces in and among
the sons of men.
The name then was Jah-ptel.
As to the abilities in the present and that to which it may
attain, and how:
These are in applying first that insight as it has gained
through the application of those same tenets as gained from
Egypt, as applied in self in the present; also those
activities in those sojourns in making for influences in
the experiences of others - that may not be as pleasures
alone but as developments for the INNER man.
In giving expression to such, in living, in being, that as
is known innately within self in these directions, will make
for the manners in which the greater blessings may come to
self; and make for that harmony within self that passeth
understanding to those that have not attained that of meeting
Him within the inner temple. For as He has given, "There I
shall meet thee, in the mount of thyself." For thy body
indeed is the temple of the living God; there He may meet
thee as ye turn within. There ye may find the greater
understanding; for He hath not left His children
empty-handed; for He has prepared the way. And, as He has
given, "As ye do unto these, the least of my children, ye do
it unto me."
So, in the application lean upon Him; for He IS the way,
the truth and the light.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should the entity keep up music?
(A) Keep up music by all means; for much is found there
that lifts thee, even in the inner self. Keep rather to
that which is of the type that is of the ancients.
(Q) Is there anything special that the entity should do,
or some particular line of activity?
(A) In the manner in which ye give out here and there, a
little here, a little there; these are indeed the greater
glories for Him. Speak gently, speak kindly to all. As to
the lines, do what thy hands find to do, where thou art,
day by day. These may be little in the sight of many, yet in
Him, and in thyself, these will grow and grow to become those
things in which thy awakening, thy soul, shall find repose.
We are through for the present.
