TEXT

1. EC: We have the entity here and those records, and those relations with the universe and universal forces; that are latent and manifested in the personality of the entity now known as or called [1042].
2. In entering this present experience, the activities of the entity in the earth - while not great in number - have had and do have their influence upon a great many individuals, without the entity's apparent awareness of same; which becomes in itself a virtue from the material angles.
3. Not that it hasn't produced those periods of indecision or unrest or change in the environs and the outlook of the entity upon material experience, but as the entity views same in the present it may be found that changes have brought satisfaction in varied ways and manners - and not always in keeping with that which within self appeared to be the more satisfactory course. Yet in each change, in each way and manner in which these have come about, there will be seen many have been influenced; and alterations have come into the experience of many by those very changes of the entity.
4. As to the astrological influence, then, we find:
5. This, as we have oft intimated, is the interpretation of that the entity has done about its awareness IN the varied planes; and thus has experienced in the environs of the earth's COMPANIONS - as it might be termed - those of DEFINITE influences.
6. Jupiter, then, makes for those activities, those innate expressions in which the entity may engage, having their bearing upon the thought, the activity of large masses. Not that there hasn't been and is not a definite or individual experience, but the EFFECT of same becomes far-reaching in its application; making for those experiences wherein the sojourns in the present are such that those things which have at times brought destructive influence in material things have become at times advantageous materially to the entity in these associations.
7. This should bring continually more and more of such experiences, as the entity then applies itself in those fields of activity in which its training through its experiences in the earth and in the innate influences through the astrological sojourn has fitted it to do. That is, the seed sown finds its own fruitage in the MANNER in which the influences about same make for this application in the mental world.
8. In Saturn we find that making for an influence in which the entity has found and will find more and more those of NEW conditions arising, changes coming about. Yet with its sojourn in the environs of the Jupiterian influence and the application in the mental and spiritual world of these urges, more and more advantageous do new outlooks, new environs, new mental associations, new physical associations become; making for more satisfactory, more worth while experience for the entity.
9. The influences in Venus have made and do make for the friendships that are oft to the entity as an enigma to self. For these do not follow that which has been and is oft proclaimed by many to be a psychological inference in the experience. Rather do they arise from a higher force or a deeper intuitive force from the sojourns there. Either the entity likes or dislikes those whom it contacts. Not that it makes for particular aversions, but rather the ability to choose where there is an answering to that something as from deep within - as may be seen by the entity comparing as to how there have been friendships created or made, or associations made, and these become as past experiences. Yet there arises oft, again and again, an experience in which those activities in an association are brought to their natural fruition by either the meeting of the individual or the individual's activity in given direction becomes again a portion of the entity's experience. These from the material or mental standpoint are oft both good AND not so good.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, then, and those influences that make for the material urges or inclinations in given directions, we find:
11. These that arise from earthly sojourns may be classified in those experiences as of urges from the EMOTIONAL side or through the emotions do these appear; while the sojourns in the astrological environs are rather in a MENTAL urge, or urges to seek through the mental associations or activities.
12. Before this, then, we find the entity was in the land now known as the French, during those periods when there was rather the reestablishing of the land as a political influence or force. Yet little of such things became a portion of the entity's activity. For in the NICETIES (as would be termed in the material affairs), as in the decorative arts, as to the influence of music associations, the colors, the preservation of those things pertaining to the finer arts of man's experience, were the activities of the entity.
13. And to the entity, as Gracia Bouletten, may be given the influence that there was the preserving of much of the beauties of those peoples and their associated activities for the future generations.
14. This is a manner, as indicated, how the great influence of activities of the entity have borne and do bear upon the lives, the thoughts of many of the masses. Yet it is little considered by peoples as individuals.
15. Hence those activities in the Louvre, the arts, are of special interest; music of the varied periods. Not so much the martial music, though this - to be sure - has its place in the moods, as it may be said; yet those that depict the development of individuals towards an activity in their better selves. Not of the character that is emotional only for self-gratification or self-indulgences, but rather that which attracts or awakes to the activities of those peoples during their experience in the entity's period of activity; when those followed the view of the herds, the geese, the activities in the change in the seasons, the awakening of the seasons for the activities for the natural or nature's mating seasons. These became rather the character and the kind of the influences.
16. Hence reeded instruments, and those that bespeak of such types or characters of music, should be in the present a study and a portion of the entity's activity. For these will being the arousing within the INNATE self the influences that arise from the MENTAL urges that are as intuitive.
17. For in music and in those activities, the intuitive forces of the entity in WHATEVER IT MAY GIVE ITSELF for a study CAN arise, do AROUSE the best within the entity's experience.
18. If there arises in the experience, then, a decision to be made, whether upon the material things, a change of residence, a change of environments of any nature or type, do so under the influence of such music.
19. Before that we find the entity was in that now called the Mongoloid land, or in those experiences when there was the exchange between those peoples of the east and the west for establishing better material, spiritual and social relationships.
20. In that land where there was the City of Gold, as now may be found in the Gobi land, did the entity act as an emissary - among those emissaries sent to India, Persia, Egypt; or those periods of experience when the teachings of the various lands and groups made the attempt to correlate to meet the needs of each group in its various spheres of activity during those periods.
21. That experience made for the entity's interest in delicately carved work, what is called filagree in metals, in stone; and in those periods the laces, the fine works of that nature were a portion of the entity's activity.
22. And through the present experience may be felt oft a deeper interest that such activities must make a harmony within the experiences of others that is not understood by some who do not allow themselves to know the better experiences in such directions.
23. Then the entity's name was Susi-Kun-Kudu.
24. In the present the application of those experiences may come in that in which the entity oft finds itself indulging; the meditative forces for creating not merely fanciful experiences of doing this or that in association or connection with others, but also the speculative influences or seeking for indulgencies in same arise from those experiences. But the entity gained throughout that period, and in the present those things pertaining to music as may be depicted by colors, or colorings as of such carvings, of such lace work, may be gathered together and be the entity's activity in an interpretation of the thoughts, the activities, the rhythm in people's mental abilities, even as the entity did through those experiences in France for art and music.
25. Before that we find there was only a short experience in the astrological sojourn, for the entity was in the Atlantean land when there were the breakings up of those peoples owing to the destructive forces.
26. The entity was among those of the Law of One who made their departure not only for the preservation of the material things but for the preserving of the records that might eventually become a portion of man's experience in the earth (when there is the seeking into those realms within the inner self for a knowledge of the close relationships with the Creative Forces).
27. For the entity then was a priestess in the temple in the lands of the Atlanteans.
28. Amimellee was the name under which the entity acted in those periods. But with the changes for the various groups, the entity entered those lands of the Egyptians.
29. And during those periods of the banishment of the Priest, the entity AS an Atlantean made for much of that which made it NECESSARY for the recalling of the Priest during that experience; LEAVING the earthly experience with the return of the Priest.
30. Yet as a priestess of the Law of One, purity, beauty, sincerity have ever been as the keynote through the entity's activities in its associations with its fellow man. At times it has caused in the present misinterpretation, misunderstanding. For as purity in itself makes for purity of thought in others, when these clash these have made in the experience of the entity confusing periods in the present.
31. Then, as to the abilities of the entity in the present and that to which it may attain, and how:
32. As there has been in the experiences of the entity through its sojourns in the earth the aiding of others to preserve those influences in their activity that would make for the renowning, the love of the beautiful in all its phases, so may the entity in the present find greater service to self-satisfaction, to glory to the Creative Forces being kept ever in the forefront of the activities of individuals throughout the earth.
33. In music, in art, in especially the filagree or the moldings as upon the activities in stone or in metal, these deserve their place in the thoughts, in the minds of individuals. Study these, for self's own satisfaction and for ways and manners and means in which these may be preserved for those who seek through the associations of same to develop their closer relationships with the Creative Forces.
34. Ready for questions.
35. (Q) Why have I never felt a real desire for marriage?
    (A) As indicated by the activities of the entity throughout the earth, the self, the service for self should be rather for many than for one. Not that there has not been in the experience those things wherein there is the understanding of relationships, but rather that these should be of a universal rather than an individual nature.
36. (Q) Why do I constantly have an urge for travel?
    (A) As indicated, there has been throughout the experience the NECESSITY of meeting the MANY, of knowing the many and the problems of many. This becomes a natural, innate urge, that the abilities of the entity - through that the entity may give - may reach the many.
37. (Q) What particular talents should be developed?
    (A) Those as indicated, in preserving for others those things that make for the better things in the experience of the sons of men towards their understanding of the Creative Forces.
    For individuals either through carvings, paintings, music, preserve not a BODILY emotion or the material things but the spiritual and mental emotions that make for the bridging or spanning between the finite and the infinite within the soul of each and every individual.
38. (Q) Is there any special work that I should take up which would open greater possibilities for mental and spiritual development?
    (A) A study of those things as indicated, we find, would make for the opening of self in greater mental and spiritual abilities; and, as indicated, in aiding others to comprehend and know.
39. (Q) Why have I never had a great many responsibilities?
    (A) For that has been the Creative Force that through the activities of the entity has made more for the awareness in the lives and experiences of others the necessity of their GIVING themselves in certain activities of expression for the saving graces, as it were, in their experience, see? The longing - belonging - to the many, making for its activity in such ways and manners, keeping ever before self that what is eternal finds expression in material things through the HIGHER emotions of man's own Maker, rather than those that may excite or even preserve the lower things.
    Keep the mind alert to those things that make for Creative Forces in the experience of man, that what is worth preserving from or of those things that make for an answer within self is worth preserving for those who may seek later.
40. We are through for the present.
