TEXT

1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving the time, the place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity, and to that which the entity may attain, and how. You will answer the questions regarding this I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane, with those urges as are received from the appearances in the earth's plane, with that to which the entity may attain, and how.
3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find one that comes under the influence of Pisces, with the influence of Jupiter, Mercury, and of Neptune, with the influence of Mars and of Uranus.
4. One, then, that becomes exceptional in many ways and manners, yet one that often acts contrarywise, even to own self.
5. One with high temper, yet, with will's force and with reason, able to control same.
6. One that does THINGS in an exceptional manner, or very bad.
7. One that is an extremist in many ways, yet one, we find, given much to many of the arts, and under these influences one that may make a success in any lines as pertain to the arts, or to those conditions as pertain to reading, literature, art, stage, or HOME. These all, as we see, are at a contrarywise, one with another; yet the nature, the disposition, the trend, the bent of the entity may be turned in any of these channels.
8. One, then, that shows the greater influence in the life in Jupiter in the present year.
9. One that keeps love influence far from active forces. That is, little of the maternal life enters in the present sphere or plane, yet one that would give, make, become, a home maker, a home builder; yet these, or any of these, may not be combined in this entity's life.
10. ONE thing at a time should be the motto of the entity to succeed in any.
11. One whose stature, physical health, depends upon self and self's activity towards the keeping of same, rather than from outside influences, or medicinal properties.
12. One that has the ennobling influence of the self, yet one that finds many mysteries, many mysterious conditions, entering into the life and actions of this life.
13. One that, apparently to others, many mysteries are surrounding the actions of the entity.
14. One that may bring to others much good or much harm, much dissension or much peace.
15. As to the appearances:
16. In the one before this we find in the days of the German rule that gave much to the arts to the peoples in that of song. The entity then in the household of the composer, and gave much to many peoples in the line of music. The entity then in the name Frau Ghertyn, and the urge in the present - that of the ear or the innate FEELING of music, rather than the full expression of same. Not that the entity is not a musician, but feels it rather than acts it.
17. In the one before this we find in the days of Phryne (?) [Pliny?], in the Grecian country. The entity in that of Poyane, and the entity one of beautiful figure and stature, and gave much to the peoples in the way of the arts in the acting, for under the influence of Tacitus the entity gained much favor from many peoples. This, in a portion of the life, proved detrimental to the entity. The love of stage and of applause is innate from this appearance in the earth's plane. Well that some of this be kept under control of will.
18. In the one before this we find in the days of the return from captivity in the Chaldean country. The entity among those who served in the temple of those people, where they were in captivity, and among those first returned to the peoples of that country, through the endeavors of Darius, the ruler of that country. [See Ezra 6.] Then in the name Cybyl, and the entity gained in the development in the earth's plane, through the efforts of those whom the entity then came under the control of; learning much of the laws and the application of same to entity's own peoples. The urge as is seen - that innate desire and love for sacred conditions, and of religious innate feeling, and the home influence coming through this appearance.
19. The one before this in the country where the peoples first gave the laws to that portion of the then man inhabited regions in India. The entity then in the name Ydloidia. The entity then being the assistant or wife of the ruler [[849]?] of those peoples who came in from the mountain country, gaining and losing in that expression of self in the physical world. The urge as is seen - the fear to do wrong (that of moral) from wrong's and right's sake, rather than to a code of man made laws.
20. As to that which the entity may attain in the present plane:
21. As we find, during this present twelve months there comes the greater portion of the abilities, physically, and in the professional manner, for the expression of self; and should the entity choose that of the professional life, these in the latter portion of present year, and in the coming two years, will find the greater outlet for same, reaching the highest point in same in 28 and 30. The entity must choose, and not as would be given from here - only those as are seen as the innate, and as the abilities. The entity should, for self, find, in the manner of manifesting physically, that which will magnify the inmost self; for the expression of self is an entity's concept of the creative or impelling forces of the universe, and ALL must be made One with Him.
22. We are through for the present.
