TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have conditions here, you see.
2. Now we find there are many peoples born on this date in the various portions of this earth plane. There were few born on the hour and moment of this body of [953], we are speaking of. This, as we see was 20 minutes past four, see [4:20 A.M.]. And the influence of the planets on this body have been and will be varied in their action. In the ruling forces we find that of Jupiter, with the effect or afflicted by Mars slightly, by Saturn at certain times and occasions of course more than others, Venus and Neptune. In that [influence?] of the constellations or groups Pisces and Taurus, see.
3. Now, as the effect these conditions have brought in the body, we can see this of course from that that has preceded in the life of this individual or this entity. The influence has laid toward those of the development physically, the will or the intent and purpose are the indomitable features in the body, in the will or mental capacity being so shaded or tempered by that of both Venus and Neptune. So with sympathy and love as is natural from these forces of this entity, the body rules though with the iron will, you see. This as is found through the relativity of these forces and its influence on this entity born at this hour.
4. Those of the moon have little to do [with this entity].
5. There are with the afflictions of Saturn which has been through this body in the last two years, those afflictions with Pisces see, that has brought to the physical that through the limbs, feet and the excretory system.
6. The healing forces as is given through Mars' affliction, with Neptune, gives that of the incentives toward the forces of ultra effect, on account of the relative position between Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, that will be within the next two years, as time is governed by the earth plane.
7. One physically fit for the needs of the physical forces and one well adapted to combat with that of the physical, and one given in the better element to deal to the ones under the control, that love and affection as are found through this conjunction, see. One whose financial forces will come from great outdoors, as is known, see. One whose stability will rest in the respect of others by their trust in him, see. One whose greater force lies in control of men through his love for men, see.
8. One whose development goes far upon this physical plane. One in whose forces has only been one retarding plane, this being the fifth plane, see. Sixth appearance, see.
9. One whose forces in the psychic force is tempered by the reason of the forces in Mars. One whose warlike forces, though there have been some combative element in the life in the past from this, that is, not at the present time, will be in that of the better force, see. For it will be tempered by these others.
10. One whose will has played the most important part in the present plane development. One whose will led him astray in the last development, which was that in the Puritan [Salem witchcraft days - See 953-15] forces or age. One whose self-aggrandizement is the least of its faults in the present. One whose self-aggrandizement was the greatest fault in the last, see. One whose development through will at present or from this on will be well, for the body has stabilized itself.
11. One whose greater force in financial, in personal assistance, in the greater help, will lie toward the south and west from its present location, that is, from where it was born. [GD's note: Last yrs. of his life, & happiest, spent in Texas.]
12. One whose forces need only that conception of the never failing forces that gives to others the necessary element of assistance in correct force. That is, the greater assistance is helping others help themselves.
13. One whose neither appearance for this plane has been of low forces, save in the last before this, see. [Salem period?]
14. One whose development will go higher and higher in the next plane.
15. One who will help benefit by this injunction, that has often come and become a part of the entity's forces - By Faith through Grace, and not of yourself, but the gift of the Maker, when made a part of self.
16. In other appearances we had as these:
17. The defender of the gate under Cromwell.
18. The leader and armour bearer under Xerxes.
19. The counsellor in the Court of Herod the Great, and lost in this by that of the Roman forces who came in under that of Pilate.
20. Then was a builder of the walls of the City that was rebuilt and one of the defenders when the Sanballat resisted the forces there.
21. We are through.

2. GD's note: See 953-6, 953-7, 953-13, etc., Ck. Life Readings which seem to indicate that his present diabetes is a physical karma from his last incarnation during the witchcraft days in Salem when he was a stool dipper.
