TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the entity now known as [1020].
2. These, as we find then, are as records of the activities of the entity in its relationships to the universal influences that may manifest in, or be manifested by, the entity in the experiences in the earth and the environs about the earth that are termed as astrological aspects in an entity's experience.
3. Coming, as we find, under those influences in Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, that are accredited with representing - or that have been determined by the sages of old as representing - individual activities, we find:
4. Mercury as the mind, Venus as love, Jupiter as the broadening - the larger opportunity, the expansion of influence and activity - these are but terms, that represent in an entity's influence a definite INNATE activity in the entity's experience.
5. In Venus we find that, irrespective of the entity's application of same - however, the entity is one making for friendships that are lasting in the experience.
6. One capable of becoming more and more necessary in the experiences of those whom the entity contacts.
7. One that is faithful in its relationships to that it has promised itself or others.
8. These are as innate and manifested in the manners in which the entity may make application of those experiences in the inner self, as it is related to others.
9. In Mercury we find the high mental abilities, yet experiences in same that make for the doubting in self as to its own capacities often.
10. Hence, in conjunction with the Venus influence, it produces a tendency within the experience for the entity to depend oftentimes upon those whom it has learned that are or whom it considers as being capable of judging experiences or activities.
11. This makes for that which at times becomes confusing to the entity, as to whether that which has been activative has been by its own mental abilities or influenced by others.
12. Hence we will find that especially in the activities as a WRITER would there become most helpful experiences, where the entity applied such activities in the earth in its relationships to construction of those things that may be made manifest in its activity as a writer. Or as one who would be a good judge of the efforts of others in these directions. If the entity would apply self, these activities would make or the stabilizing of these innate influences in the experience of the entity.
13. In Jupiter we find the broadening, or the tendency for the entity to become associated with influences upon rather than by others. For the influence the entity may have from others is individual, while the influence the entity may have upon others is rather more the universal - by the very indications of those experiences that have been indicated as to how the influences or activities of the entity may be used to give expression to those developments that have been in the MENTAL or soul experience of the entity. It tends towards the experience that may be termed as innate, or as FEELING those conditions rather than reasoning from what may be termed cold reason. This makes for those conditions where the entity may in its applications of its abilities become as one that may influence the affairs of others a very great deal by its expressions that may reach masses of peoples.
14. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those that we find making for an influence in the present experience, we find:
15. Before this the entity was in that land now known as or called England, during those periods when there were great numbers of people entering the new land; not only for the religious freedom but for the opportunities and for the activities that would make for the growing into advantages to be had in the varied activities during the experience.
16. The entity heard about such activities, listened and was persuaded; yet not until the latter portion of the experience - or until the middle of the life during that particular period - did the entity come to, or become a part of the activities in, that land in and about what is now Hartford, in the land of present nativity.
17. There we find the entity then, in the name of Marge Condon, became as an active influence in the establishing of those that became the teachings, or the schools, or those things that had to do with the training of the young.
18. Hence we find in the present experience of the entity that the interests of the young are of a special interest to the entity; the care of those under varying conditions - these have been and are of a special interest. And the manners in which various sects, states or groups or societies form for the activities in these directions become innately and manifestedly a portion of the entity's thought. And again activity in these directions, ESPECIALLY as related to combining same in treatise, in manners in which same may be presented to others, would become a life work.
19. However, as indicated in the ruling influence of Venus in the INNATE forces, home and home conditions are ever in the expressions of the entity also.
20. Combining these, then, there may be made an activity; not so much that would separate the entity from other associations but that would make for an experience in the entity's life or experience in the present that would become more and more worth while, more and more appreciated, more and more helpful to others.
21. Before that we find the entity was in the Grecian experience when there were those periods of the first activities that began the influence as to the adorning of the bodies for sculpture and art, that pertained to these phases of man's experience. It was also when there were begun the interpretations of speech, of those things that may be termed in the present the dramatic experiences of song, verse, that there might be brought to others the influence that same had upon the activities of GROUPS.
22. The entity then was among those that were active in such directions; not as a man (for men then were the greater actors in all these roles) but rather one who assisted in aiding such to become efficient and proficient in such activities. The entity made the designs for what in the present would be termed the costumes, and laid out such experiences.
23. In the present those experiences are manifested in the entity being a judge of such things, an interpreter - to self oft - without giving expression, owing to the fears that arose from the submerging of the entity in the experience. For the material self was submerged, as well as the mental and spiritual, which brought decreasing or distressing experiences in the activities.
24. In the present, though, these make for the abilities of judgements upon actors, or interpreters, or those that would become interested in such activities.
25. These only need fanning, as it were, into that innate within self, to become an experience that may be applied with those in the home building or in the training of those that are developing in mind and body.
26. The name then was Constance.
27. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the establishings of the tenets and the teachings of the Priest. It was when there was begun the preparation of those things pertaining to the establishing of what has grown in the present, from heights in other lands, to the medical reaction, the educational reaction in the various fields; the establishing of periods and areas where there were the gatherings of stones, the cutting of stones. And these became a portion of the entity's activity in that particular experience.
28. The entity was young in years from the earthly viewpoint when it began its service and activity in the Temple Beautiful, growing in its interest in the Temple Dance or the temple activity that INTERPRETED THE EMOTIONS of individuals in their service before the populace, as well as before those who made for the concentration or consecration of themselves for service in specific directions.
29. Later the entity became associated with those who prepared the garments of service in the Temple and in the service among those in high places.
30. And ESPECIALLY was the entity interested in those that had the settings of the stones, that were known as the emblems of the life of the individuals.
31. These were so impressed that in the present we find emblems, symbols, stones, carvings, become as something of an interest to the entity.
32. Throughout that experience, in the name Han-Shu-Put, the entity gained.
33. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain and how:
34. As the activities have been in those fields in which OTHERS became imbued with faith and hope in the very actions of the entity, so may the entity in the present USE the abilities that have been gained not only in the material things or material expressions in the earth but as related to those things gained through the interims in which the soul growth has found, does find, expression.
35. In these manners may the entity find soul development, harmony in its relationships to its fellow man; increasing its confidence and faith in self as it finds its true relationships to the INNER self and to the Creative Forces from without.
36. These, then, are the activities as we find in the present:
37. Stimulate the minds of those that seek expression in given directions of activity, as those seeking for an experience or a career in certain fields of activity as indicated. As interpreters, entertainers in some directions - the entity may counsel well with such.
38. Then, for giving that which is INNATELY the experience of self - this may be done in writing and interpreting that which may be most helpful to others in the training of the young, and of those in the various ages or stages of their development, FOR some specific field of activity.
39. For, as will be the experience of the entity:
40. If you would have life, hope, faith, then GIVE life, hope, faith, to those about you - in every way. For the law is, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." If ye would know good, do good to others. If you would know the Father and His love to His creatures, show forth in thy life and in thy relation- ships to others that love. And in so doing does there come into the heart and mind and soul that awareness of His presence, that has been and is promised to all who seek to know His face.
41. Ready for questions.
42. (Q) What were the relations in the past lives with my present husband, and just how can I be of the greatest help to him now?
    (A) Rather was the husband the critic of self in its attempts in the Grecian activity. Hence there have been and are at times in the present the periods when the entity becomes rather discouraged at those experiences that arise. Yet in patience and in counseling with the mate in those things where there is the NECESSITY for the husband to stand in judgement upon the efforts of others, in their construction of those things or writings or conditions that are to influence great numbers of people, in this way and manner may those experiences not only become as things that would be "a working out," as it were, but become more helpful to him in the present relationship.
43. (Q) What have been the relations in the past with my son, and how can I be of the greatest help to him?
    (A) As the son was in the closer relationships during those periods of the first establishing of the activities in this land of the present nativity, in his own experiences, so may the entity in the present lend the greatest aid and help through counsel, and patience. Not in railings, not in finding fault, but rather in the gentle guidance; not as duties only, but as opportunities - pointing out such in the experiences of the son.
44. (Q) What were the relations in the past lives with my daughter, and how can I be of help to her?
    (A) Here we find rather a conflicting influence, from those experiences in the Egyptian activities of the entity. And these made for, then, the necessities for the aids to be the greater in showing dependence and confidence in much that has at times RILED self, as to the choices made by the daughter. This should be done not through condoning, but through reasoning and counsel - in which the entity in that experience grew from the various activities. And it may be seen that it is over those very things in which the entity was the most active - in dress and relationships - that the misunderstandings have arisen and do arise at times; over those smaller things.
    Patience endureth, if the entity will know even its strength and power.
45. (Q) Are there any records available now of the entity's activities in Hartford?
    (A) As we find, among the older records of an INSURANCE organization there may be found some of those records of those with whom the entity was very closely associated.
46. (Q) What were the dates of the Grecian period referred to?
    (A) Just preceding what is termed in thy common parlance as the Christian era.
47. We are through for the present.
