From Venus we find the very unusual experiences and
influences of the entity in relationships to those of the
opposite sex. But if there is experienced through the
Mercurian, through the emotional, and most of all through
the Jupiterian influences, a friendship or a companionship
that answers for these emotions, then this should be the one
to become in the closer relationships. Yet these
relationships should be of such natures, such characters,
that there is harmony in - and the understanding of - such a
companion. And, as we find, such an experience HAS come to
the entity. Hence within the coming year these
relationships should be brought to materialization in the
associations and activities, as to become those influences
that would make for a greater growth, a greater
satisfaction, a greater joy in the service the entity finds
in its associations with its fellow man.
And until those periods of at least until 1938 the entity
should remain in those environs in which the entity finds
itself. But then, in that year, there should be changes that
may be brought about by developments along those things
pertaining to the psychic forces or psychic developments of
the ENTITY, and those ASSOCIATED THEN WITH the entity in its
APPLICATION of its abilities in the healing arts.
As to the appearances in the earth, then, or those that have
the greater influence, while these are few - as we find, that
become of an influence in the present - they become very
determining factors in the intro-activity of the entity as
related to the urges from its astrological experience, or
from its environments about the earth.
Before this we find the entity was in the English land during
those experiences when there were turmoils, when there were
groups gathering from other lands for a special purpose, when
there were the religious influences that tended to make for
the activities known as the Crusades against the heathens for
their overrunning of, and acclamation of, the Holy Land.
The entity then, in the name of Bruce - Georgeus Bruce, aided
in gathering groups for the joining into the activities in
that period.
This activity on the part of the entity was prompted as
much by the real influence to become a leader as it was by
the fervor of the religious thought. Hence much that was
distressing came into the experience of the entity, and made
for retardments - and the thoughts of self-indulgence,
self-aggrandizement, rather than of the purposes from the
SPIRITUAL angle for which the activities had been begun.
Thus in the present that experience causes the entity at
times to have very peculiar ideas as to the religious
principles or religious thoughts of individuals whom the
entity may contact. Yet it often HOLDS very definite ideas.
It would be WELL, in the application of self in these
directions, for the entity to learn that what is of the
constructive nature is in GIVING. For, as ye receive, so
should ye give. The word GIVE is the prompting of the
expression of love in, "The Lord gave His son that ye,
through Him, might have life, and have it more abundantly."
What meaneth ABUNDANCE of life?
Quite a dissertation might be given on that!
But know within thyself that the LORD IS ONE! And if ye
would know Him ye must know that to become one WITH Him is
the purpose of each soul in its expression; that the GLORY of
the Lord may fill the earth!
Before that we find the entity was in the Arabian or Persian
land, during those periods when the 'city in the hills and
the plains' offered a channel of manifestation, or a place
of refuge for those ill in body and mind, yet was becoming a
center for the commercial exchange of that portion of the
earth or world at the time.
The entity was among the Grecians who came as a seeker, and
REMAINED to be as a minister; then in the name Percerlesuses,
making for those activities from which there has grown that
NOW known as the PHYSICAL exercise for the relaxation and
developments of the physical body.
Hence we find in the present that those things pertaining to
athletics, or especially those having to do with the use of
the hands and of the feet as an expression for not only
developments physically for health but as a prevention of
physical disturbances, arise from that experience.
In the present chosen profession, then, the entity may find
those things whereunto there may come GREATER activities; yet
learn within self, instill within those the entity may
attempt to aid, that what is accomplished physically must
work together with the MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL forces of the
individual if there would come real aid or help.
For the Law of One must EVER be coordinant in the activities
of an individual or entity among its fellow man, if these
would become as REAL helps and not as passing moments. Thus
such activities may bring not only to others but to self the
greater joys, the greater peace, the greater happiness.
And these influences are the greater in the activity of the
entity during the earthly appearance in THIS experience.
Before then we find the entity was in the Atlantean land,
or in that place or position called Poseidia; during those
periods when there were the destructive forces, and when the
detentions arose between the sons of Belial and those of the
Law of One.
The entity then was among the lesser priests, and a minister
to the ills of the peoples who came for judgement and
understanding. And when there was the egress to the now
known Yucatan land, the entity was among those chosen to act
in the capacity as the priest, or the minister of judgement;
both as to the relationships of individuals among themselves,
or one with another, and as to the spiritual and physical
instruction of those people who journeyed to the land.
Then in the name Marcehelli (as would be determined in the
present), the entity rose to power - and made for mental and
material developments in the land; building much that later
made for the greater glories of those particular peoples or
experiences.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and
that to which it may attain, and how:
First, study to show self physically, mentally, spiritually,
approved unto Him who is the author and the finisher of life.
For in Him IS the light, not alone in self but that within
self which responds to that light which is in Him; that may
make for the greater abilities, the greater developments, the
greater peace and happiness in this material experience.
Keep the faith.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Do you believe my efforts in my practice will bring me,
eventually, a successful career?
(A) As indicated, this is a well chosen and a direct way or
manner in which there may come the material success, if the
ideal in self is kept close to the real spiritual forces -
and the implications that may be given in and through such an
activity.
(Q) Would you advise marriage to the girl I am going with at
present?
(A) As indicated, it would be well - within the year.
Let that which was the prompting of thine inner self to seek
those in the 'city in the hills' become that which is indeed
the prompting in thine experience in the present. Not for
self, but that self may be the greater, the better channel
through which there may indeed come the glory of the Lord as
it is seen in the earth by and through the experiences of the
sons of men manifesting same in their relationships one to
another!
We are through for the present.

a year and treated patients who came to him with readings.
REPORTS
2/17/36 "My Life Reading has meant much to me and I shall use
it as my guiding hand, so to speak... The last paragraph
under Venus in influence to psychic developments arouses my
curiosity, as many people who have come to me for help marvel
at how I can analyze their physical conditions, practically
at a glance. I myself am somewhat puzzled by it all."
