TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity; those records, those experiences of the entity now known as [1033] that are latent and manifested in the experiences of the entity in the earth - and those developments and activities in the interims.
2. In giving that which may be helpful to this entity, those experiences from the astrological aspects are but little; for many have been the experiences of the entity in the earth. Not that the entity is only earthly-MINDED, but that the very desires and purposes of the entity have been and are to make manifestations in relationships to the Creative Forces or energies, or spiritual influence, IN material relationships - as well as only in the spiritual aspects.
3. For to the entity, sincerity in the relationships of individuals - as to causes, as to individuals, as to the relationships in every angle - is as the criterion by which the entity must and will and does, not so much judge as rather MEASURE the abilities, the conditions, the active forces from those in such relations.
4. In the astrological we find there are, to be sure, those conditions that find expression INNATELY. But, as we have indicated, rather those from the earthly sojourns - and from those positions the entity has occupied through same in which it has applied self in relationships to the expressions of the soul or spiritual development - may be of a great deal more helpful experience.
5. The relationships from the astrological sojourns are as these:
6. In Jupiter becomes an ennobling experience, and makes for what may be termed the breadth or the great numbers of individuals or groups that may be affected by activities or thought or experiences of the entity. And the entity's relationships will ever be with those of groups and masses.
7. Those influences from Venus make for what may be termed the great expression of the entity in the material relationships. For oft has the entity sojourned through those environs making for the abilities in the friendships, and those activities in self as to the variation between what may be termed duties and obligations. For these to the entity become rather as experiences that are not only the expressions of self, as related to such, but of a much BROADER vision. And as expressed, in the contribution the entity makes in its relationships through friendships or acquaintances or activities, it is not sentimentality but rather the higher influence of love for the cause, the purpose, the whole aim or desire of that to make for the expressions in the greater relationships that love and friendship should stand for, do stand for.
8. Hence it may be said, through the entity's development in the astrological sojourns as well as through the activities in the earth (as will be seen), TRUE friendship is understood and appreciated by the entity in a degree not expressed, not felt by many that may of themselves show a much greater degree of activity in such relationships from the MATERIAL standpoint.
9. We find those influences in Uranus and Neptune, and those things that pertain to the activities over same, becoming rather as a portion of the INNATE expressions in the entity's activity.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, then, that make for the greater developing forces and influences that find expressions - and in which there may be the counsel, those activities within self as to make for the meeting of those things that are seeking expressions in the entity's relationships to its fellow man; and to the experiences in the material world that go on, as it were, about the entity, we find that these are those that make for the greater influence in the present experience of the entity. While not all, these find greater expressions in the manner of thought, and that to which the entity responds in the present:
11. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods when there were being sought ways and means in which the peoples, though new in the land, might make for the abilities for the controlling - as it were - their own principles in government, their own principles in dealings with their relationships not only with their fellow man but as to the conscience of individuals as related to the characterization of their relationships with the Creative Forces.
12. The entity then was in the household of one Marcus Goldmanson (?) that contributed directly to the ways and means and manners in which the financing, the preparation for the relationships of the colonies, might make for their defense for the principles.
13. Those environs were they under which the entity then, as Marguerette, grew to activity in the experience that made for abilities which find expression in the entity in the present; in being able not only to counsel with but to advise and plan with those who would deal with situations that have to do with the activities of groups.
14. Hence, as a condition in the present from same, we find that the entity may in its present experience make for a career in the relationships of others. Or in the home, which may be chosen for the greater abilities to make for the controlling of self and the guiding of those manners in which others may minister to the needs of the mental and spiritual man, that may contact or be influenced by the activities of those whom the entity may aid in any direction.
15. Also there are the abilities of the entity (from that sojourn) to finance - through ways and means that appear to be as not understood to others - most any proposition, organization, or any activity that may require the needs of such considerations on the part of those that direct the operations of such organizations or groups.
16. These abilities not merely from the material angle, but - as indicated - the abilities to counsel, to advise, to aid others, arise from those experiences of the entity in that sojourn.
17. Before that we find - that comes now, in this particular phase of the entity's experience in the present, as the most, or one of the most outstanding of its appearances in the earth, both for the mental and the spiritual development, and for the manners in which same may make for its relationships in the present - the entity was in the earth during those periods when there were those returns from captivity of the chosen peoples, and the rebuilding of the walls, the first rebuilding under Zerubbabel.
18. That particular sojourn is of particular importance in the present because of the fact that the entity finds self in the present rather in close relationships with those with whom the entity was then associated. Not in exactly the same manner in which there were the relationships then, but in ways and manners in which the entity may act much in the capacity of becoming - as it may be said - the motivative influence from the material angle for the purposes and for the activities of those individuals so closely associated with the entity then and now.
19. The entity's close relationships then with those activities made for the replenishing and reestablishing of the altars of Jehovah, and the building up of those activities in the city of Jerusalem.
20. Then the entity was in those relationships as the wife of a brother of Zerubbabel, and - to be sure - of the tribes of the priesthood.
21. And the entity aided then in making for strengthening of purposes in the hearts of those who labored under such circumstances that brought fear and trembling, owing to the various causes roundabout; the activities of the sons of Sanballat and the peoples without the gates and the peoples that were left in what later came to be known as the mixed races - those of the Samaritans.
22. Those conditions from that period may find expression in the entity's activities in the present; and the abilities for the entity to coordinate for many the correct relationships that should exist between peoples of various faiths or various activities in their material life, yet how each people in their own-sphere of activity may become more and more an expression of that which is the ideal - and that which makes for the closer relationships of the individual in its activity to the Creative Forces, or its reaction to same in the material EXPERIENCES for the individual.
23. Hence one whose abilities are fitted not only in the spiritual relationships, but in those experiences had at that time. For when as strangers they came into a strange land, when they journeyed into the lands that to most had become only as a land of mystery, the entity aided in correlating the modes of dress, the modes of activity that naturally became changed in the varying activities.
24. Hence in those things that have to do with the stylist, or modes of dress, or with what may be called the mode of ethics under the various relationships that individuals may occupy according to their stations or activities or functionings in their relationships in the social life, the entity becomes ENDOWED - as it were; from those experiences in that period, that may become helpful to many - ESPECIALLY to those of the young or those in the teen ages that are beginning to seek for counsel here and there. In the various organized activities in these relationships there may be a field wherein the entity may in the present grow, expand, and bring to the soul-development that of peace and harmony; and, most of all, correlating through such the relationships in such activities that do not become merely rote, but PURPOSEFUL in every phase of its experience.
25. Before that we find the entity was among those peoples entering the Promised Land, as they came from the wanderings in the wilderness; and as there were those establishings - as it were - first in the land of promise where there had been these activities that were to bring to those peoples, to those activities of same, the land indeed flowing with milk and honey; that which was to make for the answer to the prayers, the cries, the supplications of strangers in a strange land.
26. The entity again was in the household of those that had been, through the very activities of the promise, of the priesthood; in the name then Jehocehan.
27. And the entity aided with those in setting about in Gilgal to set up the ark of the covenant, and the places round about. While only aiding in same, the entity made not for the correlation of the peoples roundabout but rather for the establishings of the household of faith to those activities in that new environ.
28. Hence we find the activities of the entity in the present may be in those helps that may aid those under different environs coming into a new land, as it were, or coming under new environs; these may be aided by the counsel of the entity in establishing themselves so as to keep closer to those things that may bring the greater contentment and the greater experience of happiness in their MATERIAL relationships, as well as their mental and spiritual activities.
29. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were turmoils and strifes in the land from the attempts of many to correlate the activities and the teachings of those of various lands; and especially those as related to the activities from the land called Atlantis.
30. The entity then was among those that were of the Atlantean peoples, yet born in the Egyptian environs; or during those periods of activity there.
31. Thus the entity became, again, one that made for the establishing the various activities of those peoples who joined in the worship, and in establishing the various relationships of individual groups. The entity aided in establishing the customs of dress, the customs of headwear, the customs pertaining to the necessary changes and obligations of those that would worship rather in Sacrifice or in the Temple Beautiful activities.
32. While these activities do not become so much a part of the entity in the present, we find that very few people the entity may meet in the present whom it may not be able to tell almost to what group they belong, by their dress.
33. As to the abilities of the entity, and that to which it may attain in the present:
34. As indicated, two ways lie before the entity. The abilities to build for self a career among its fellows or among the active forces. Or those wherein there may be the submerging of self's own PERSONALITY and bringing to the fore the INDIVIDUALITY of self that may become the incentive, the criterion, the aid to others in aiding the greater numbers to FIND themselves and their relationships to the Creative Forces, as well as their place among their brethren in the relationships of man to man.
35. The way which has been chosen, as we find, is the greater. This does not hinder the entity from aiding others in those directions as indicated. But giving the greater of self in counsel and aid to those seeking, those that may be (as the entity found self) as strangers in strange lands, the entity may (as it found itself there, in that sojourn) in the present aid those that are strangers in new environs to find THEIR place and THEIR activity in this material world.
36. Keep thou the faith of thy fathers; for thy activities in same have grown and brought forth fruits that are acceptable before Him that is the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. No wonder the lessons and the fables of old become as instruments in the mind and the hand of this entity to bring that which aids others to help themselves in THEIR activities of every relationship in this material world!
37. Ready for questions.
38. (Q) What can I do to better my husband's position and career?
    (A) Especially to those of the young may the counsel that the entity may give be helpful; not only to the husband in his dealings with such groups but to those that may come to the entity for advice and counsel.
    Also to those that are from strange lands, or from strange environs, that come to meet with, to counsel with the mate AND the self, in THEIR new relationships.
    Through these fields, as we have indicated, has the entity in its passage through the earth GAINED the greater innate activity. Hence it may be found to be expressed in the present in a way and manner as to become efficacious in the experiences of others.
39. (Q) What can he do to better his career?
    (A) We haven't him; only the entity's relations with same - when there were those activities in the building up of the worship again in the city of Jerusalem, in the reestablishing of the altars and of the offices in the lives of others. Through such does there appear the greater activity.
40. (Q) What are my financial possibilities and how can they be bettered?
    (A) As indicated, the self may be lended to those activities of aiding others in those things pertaining to styles or the like. These channels may offer greater opportunities for the entity in increasing the FINANCIAL advantages. However, do not use same to the detriment of its spiritual relationships.
    Hence, in advising or writing upon same (which may be done WITHOUT jeopardizing the spiritual relationships) would increase the financial incomes.
41. (Q) Shall I pursue a career?
    (A) Remember ye that which has been given of old, "There is today set before thee good and evil, life and death." These make for the dividing of ways in the experience of each soul in its relationships. And it has been given, "Though ye may gain the whole world and lose the opportunity of saving a soul, what is thine gain?"
    The career may be had. Those may be aided in the career that are surrounding self. We would not advise a career instead of the abilities in the position maintained. Maintain same. Career in part; by writing, by advice and counsel, yes. But be thou INDEED the helpmeet; not to the exclusion of thine own mental and soul development, but WITH same.
42. (Q) Will my husband be at Temple ... long, or what will be in store for him?
    (A) That, as we see from the present, will be merely a choice of his own. For there he is building as he has builded before.
43. We are through for the present.
