TEXT

1. EC: Yes - that's a very good change for the dates as would be registered.
2. GC: Will you please give the exact birth date, if we are mistaken in same?
3. EC: 21st - October - 1914 - [933]. * [See 933-3, Par. 19-A, 7/16/41 and Reports.]
4. We have the entity and those relations WITH the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, called [933].
5. In entering we find astrologically the entity coming under those influences as may be seen in the experience even of the entity in the present, as has been manifestedly shown in the experiences of the entity in the earth's plane as a whole; yet much development has come under the experiences - for, as the entity from the beginning has shown - as will be seen through the experiences - that as may be termed an inquisitive experiencing of many phases in those developments as have to do with environmental and hereditary influences, and the entity as a student or propounder of either of these mighty questions in man's experience would become one of renown, WERE these turned to the RHYTHMIC side of the entity's development and experience. Coming, then, astrologically, under the influences of Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus. In the influences, then, we find these as latent - also as manifested in the activities of the entity, and more SURE may be seen the influence the entity (the individuality of same) has upon individuals whom the entity has or may contact in the earth's experience. All remaining to study become awed at that they do not understand manifested in the entity as INNATE abilities, or innate MANIFESTATIONS of the entity's being. These, as we find, will continue to grow in the experience of the entity (to others), will those forces as given become the study of the entity in its attempts, and its making application of those forces as will be gathered by the study of either hereditary or environmental influence - for they become one, and are more UNDERSTANDABLE in the life as a whole than in a single experience; for where those of either the hereditary school or the environmental influence base their BEGINNINGS, the study of the entity may begin an unfoldment for such that are desirous of knowing that as may become to the entity and those associated with same as a correct interpretation of forces now termed as those of the analyzing of the mental forces of individuals, in a form or manner as is NOW termed of the psychoanalyst - see? For the entity should establish ITS OWN interpretation of THAT portion of man's experience, but DO same through music, and have as the guiding force or guardian angel Saint Cecilia.
6. In the love forces as come through that of Venus, we find these have oft shown forth the expressions as are INNATE in the individual, and as has come through the ages as those words known wherein man under the most trying periods, most trying circumstance, has uttered that which LIVES in the hearts of men as being and dealing fairly with the fellow man. Hence to the entity the interpretation of love and love's influence means much more than to many, and INTERPRETED from a different viewpoint entirely.
7. In Jupiter makes for those abilities and strength of characterization and personality in the periods when Jupiter, especially, will be in the RULING forces OR powers in the next ten years. In the DESCENDANCY of same has come in the experience of the entity those periods through which the BODY-physical has been purged, or cleansed - [GD's note: I think he had serious illnesses as a child] as it were - from those drosses that would PREVENT the entity from GAINING that insight into the mysteries OF love, OF divine forces, OF the applications of same in this material world. While in the material forces there must be some expression of that that is felt within innate in an entity, to THIS entity in this experience these may be expressed better in song, music, rhythm, rhyme, and the like, as it has in OTHERS in justice, in meting out that to others as would be done by self; for the entity having been a judge often has a concept of penal law as few individuals may have. NATURALLY, INNATELY, does the entity, will the entity experience that which is law from that which may be law-sensuous, or licentious, or being WITHIN the law, or complying with the SPIRIT of same, enters in as an innate influence in the entity's being.
8. In those influences in Mercury, we find the application, or that as shows for the mental abilities of the entity in the application. While these may oft be termed by others as wonderment and awe, yet with those influences in the Mercurian influence - with that that makes for the eccentric forces - brings, as in these influences in Uranian, that of one well-doing, well-being, often arriving at conclusions, often arriving at the answer to problems in life - secularly, mentally, materially, spiritually - not understood by others, by that innate influence of justice as MUST come. There MUST be, to the entity, the pay to the last farthing. Hence there is often seen in the activities of the entity that which makes for an obedience to those to whom the entity feels there is a tie or any bond of duty, that which may be SOMETIMES mistaken for law. Do not lean too far forward or backward in such relationships, yet let thy yeas be yea and thy nays be nay.
9. In the experiences through which the entity has passed in the earth's plane, we find these as but a SCHOOLING for the abilities in the present, and the application in which they may become those of lessons, those of truths, those of understandings in the hearts and minds that the entity may contact, or that which may be left by the entity for the study, the development, of other minds.
10. In the appearance then before this, we find in that period now called the French Revolution. The entity then among those that were in the employ of the king's household, and a guardian of those that aided the king during that period when the king was put in bonds. The entity then in the name Jean Paula. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Being in the capacity of an aide, a servant, and the one that counseled oft with the king, furnishing much of the entertainment, as well as that counsel that was abhorred by many. The entity gained AND lost through the experience, gaining in the services as were given to others, losing in GRUDGES held. Hence in the present those of environmental AND hereditary influences, as well as those of music that is of the mystic, yet of the sad nature, become those that appeal to the inmost influences, as does the breaking into that of PLEASANT reveries in same.
11. In the one, then, before this we find the entity passing through that period where much was given, much was required of the entity, being in that position in the days when the Master walked in the land; the entity then among those of the teachers in the city, [[1188] also?] in the name Gamaliel. To him went many for counsel. To him was given the teaching of those that BECAME as mighty in the land, and in the name of Him who came as the lamb to the world. The entity then gave counsel as of justice to all, counseling much in that as held innate, LOSING only in that of persecutions as came to the entity from those in power, as the lawyers and the changes came about in the rulers from the Roman land. The entity lost in becoming weak, that there might not be suffering in self and these near and dear to same. Hence in the present many of those to whom the entity held close in that known as filial relations, or parental relations, has been in that experience of farther and farther away, that become as was in that period, [Was [933] the father or son of [1188], whose name also was Gamaliel?] that of the dream, that of that experience in the loneliness of the night, in the waking, and in the going out and the coming in, these become as turmoils now wholly understood. [GD's note: He never knew his real parents in this life - he was adopted when very small.] Hence that study as the entity may give, the entity may find in self's study, in the application of those things as were given in the counsel to those about the entity [by [1188]?] in that of the Sanhedrin, as in that period - that, that must come to naught that is not founded in the living God; for who could fight against the living God, and who is on the Lord's side is not alone though he may stand as one!
12. In the experience then in the present, there will be found that those forces as manifest in that period may come oft to the entity for the deciding of conditions, as to WHERE the entity will stand as its relationships to that it believes innately, that that it knows as to be true, and that that is secular in its various relationships, as to its worship - may the entity stand NOT as then, that the easier way may be chosen, but stand in that as was given when those of the counsel questioned the entity - "As for me and mine, we will be in that position of NOT FINDING ourselves fighting against God." [See 1188-2 on 12/19/36, saying [1188] was also named Gamaliel.]
13. In the experience, then, before this -
14. We find in that land when there were the peoples being led from the Promise Land. During that period, the entity then among those who went INTO that land known as the Egyptian land, in and with those tribes of Zebulun. The entity entered in, in the NAME Elieza. In this experience the entity gained throughout, for as those who became the ones that presented to those peoples that had become wayward and far afield from that for which they had stood, the entity brought again much to those peoples in the land, bringing then to an understanding that made for an EASIER application of those truths as were given to the people of the land by those close to Joseph and his brethren. In the present there is seen that particular interest in the WANDERINGS of the peoples as they left for the Promise Land, and this portion of the text - or the history as seen - are of particular interest, for oft did the entity speak of that return to the land.
15. In the one then before this, we find in that now known as the Egyptian land, and during that period when there were the rebuilding of those truths as had found an understanding in the minds and hearts of many. Though the turmoils and strifes that had arisen brought disorder and confusion, the entity among those that aided in the re-establishing of the truths in the land, being then one close to the king and of the king's household, being those that aided in the king's establishing the associations and connections with those that had gone astray with the Priest, and the entity aided in the schools, the music of the temple, in the building up of a better relationship between the various factors in the land at the time. The entity then in the name Ah-Hai. In the present experience we find while the music of the spheres, and those of the mysterious nature are as that that finds expression most, that as impelled the call to worship in that period carrying much of that as sounds in the deeper notes, finds the better expression under the entity's activities.
16. In the abilities, then, of the entity - these, as we find, are multiplied, as it were, in the present, that the entity may establish through self's own study, through the application of these truths as may be given, as may be found in the study of that of environmental, that of hereditary influences, that of the establishing in music, in rhythm, in verse, that of those forces that man may better understand HIS relationship TO the divine in the material forces. In THIS field may the entity excel. Be thou faithful to that committed in thine keeping. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) How and where may this study of hereditary and environmental conditions be followed?
    (A) Even as in the Book of Books, and in self - as in those truths as may be gained through the various channels, as the study of those presented in self through the earth's experience - may the GREATER truths, the GREATER understandings, come.
18. (Q) To what extent should the study of music be pursued, and in what form?
    (A) PREFERABLY in that that has both pipes and harps.
19. (Q) Are any schools or colleges recommended for the continuing of the studies of the entity?
    (A) Any in which the entity may gain that closer insight into those of the forces, or musics of the spheres - see? We are through for the present. Much may be given for the entity.
