TEXT

1. EC: (In going back over years - "Here's a [1192] - 17th, though.")
2. Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personality of the entity, [1192].
3. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under the influences of Mercury with Venus, Aries with Jupiter, and those influences in Saturn and in Uranus. These, as we find, have been altered much by the application of will at times in regards the relations of the entity with that as has been held as the ideal of the entity. It would be well that each entity, each soul, recognize that, that as is as its own ideal BECOMES the guiding or directing spirit with the will of the entity in its relations to environs in a material experience.
4. In this entity we find, in Mercury with Venus, then:
5. One affable and loving in disposition and in mien, making for friendships that are ever worth while to the entity, and does not seek to make for disorder or discontent in the lives or affairs of others. One that may be very well said to tend to her own business!
6. In those of Jupiter with those influences in Saturn, with Uranus, has brought and WILL bring those periods when there are those seeming activities that would take from self, and self's association and relation, the JOY - as it were - out of existence; yet with those ideals, those activities innate within self, may the hope be kindled through that love as IS manifested IN the ability OF the entity WITHIN self to tend to its OWN affairs. This is a REAL activity in the entity's whole development. There will come in the next few years those experiences that, WITH the Saturn's influence in the background, and with Jupiter and Uranus in ascendancy astrologically, and will the entity apply will's influence in the same direction - in the Spring, April, May, June, this present year - should bring those periods of a real pleasure, real joy to the experience of the entity. Divide same (the joy) with others.
7. In the influences as make for those of abilities in the entity, with Jupiterian influence, bring the broadness of vision, and yet with those that are in the ADVERSE astrological influence at times SEES the entity as being one rather HARD-HEADED; yet the entity in SELF, and in its abilities to mind its own affairs, find that sooner or later those who have condemned the entity sees the error and are willing and are glad to CHANGE their opinions. Not that the entity CANNOT be wrong, but are the IDEALS of the entity held as the criterion for its activities, with its associations with individuals, with conditions, with circumstances that arise within the relationships of the entity with friend OR foe, these are SELDOM in a manner that may not build for constructive forces in the experience of all associated in same.
8. In the appearances of the entity, and the influences these have upon the present experience of the entity:
9. In the one then before this we find in this present land, and about that portion of same then known as Dearborn. The entity then among those of those peoples when there were the taking of the fort, the dispersing of the peoples by those of the natives, that HARDSHIPS come to many; yet the entity among those who TRAVELLED to the south and to the east for the raising up of others that later took possessions of MANY of the lands, building for both constructive and developments that brought material and the spiritual welfare to many, in the name then Henshir. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained through those services and those of the things given of the experiences had in the companionships, associations with MANY in that period; losing only in that portion when there were those contentions with those that had been in power, even though of the DIFFERENT tribe, and in the present there are those tendencies for racial differences to at times be an INFLUENCE - and at others, when there are those periods when the ideals are adhered, rather the individual than differences. In the influences in the present, the abilities to seek constantly for the home life, the home surroundings; yet those very things that MAKE for same seem oft to be those things farther away, and the period WILL come when the ENTITY may have either a career or a home. CHOOSE for self.
10. In the one then before this, we find in that period when there were those contentions in the land of the promise, and the entity among those who were persecuted by the peoples that overran the land. In those days when there were peace and quiet, THEN the entity in the company of, and experiencing the blessings of, those of the rulers through the peace GIVEN TO the lands. The entity then a companion of, a sister of, a collector of the customs in that period, GAINING much through this experience from those lessons and those experiences as were BROUGHT TO the entity and those as surrounded the household of the entity. In the name Natlai, and a sister then of Matthias, [417] or Levy, or Levi, in that experience. [See 1192-5, Par. R4.] In the influences as in the present from that experience, comes much of that as has to do with the abilities of the entity as in relationships to peoples, as they would have to do with commercial life's influences or forces. Hence the entity a very GOOD salesman, whether of things, peoples, commodities, or what not. The entity can and does talk, does speak convincingly of that it believes in itself. Hence a SALESMAN, or [sales] woman, in and from those associations; for many and long were the hardships and arguments of the entity in that experience. In the abilities as come from that influence, much of that as when ideals, or the minding of self's OWN business; not a meddler, not a trouble-maker, and peace will come from those INNATE influences as gained in those experiences.
11. In the one then before this we find in that land known now as the Persian land, or in the Arabian land when those buildings up of those peoples as were gathering many of the truths from the Egyptian, the Indian, the Mongolian and the Norse land. The entity then among those that were close to the leader in this experience. While the entity then young in years, the leader old in years, those of the lessons as were gained by the entity in the experience brought many blessings to those peoples in the eastern, or later the Grecian land, by the activities of the entity. The entity becoming, then, an emissary, an exchanger of goods that carried WITH same many of the lessons and the teachings of those peoples whom the entity associated with in that experience. In the name Milidi. In this experience the entity gained throughout, for while the entity came in from the East INDIAN land, and with - or becoming - the messenger to that of the later the Grecian land, the entity gained by the service rendered in all the various associations, and in the present is seen those influences for various experiences, various travels, various lands, that hold an interest for the entity; and, as we find, there may YET be the period when even strange or foreign lands may be visited by the entity. These tales or experiences of individuals in various lands, whether in reading, whether in story, whether in that as depicted in any manner, are of particular interest to the entity - ESPECIALLY of the outdoors.
12. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Egyptian land, and during that period when there were the confusions and rebellions, and when there were the banishing of the priest who would bring much to the peoples, and the turmoils as arose. The entity then among those of the native peoples who were in the temple service in this experience. Many were the turmoils through which the entity passed on account of being of the natives and of the rebellions as were brought, yet the entity held true to those of the lessons in the temple service; while quietude or understanding only came with the return and the rebuilding of those truths and lessons as came with the building up of the conditions in the land. The entity in the name Ar-Tipt, and the DAUGHTER of one of the RULERS of the land when it HAD or was subdued. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained through all of those periods, even when trials and turmoils and tribulations arose; yet remaining true - hence an ideal is as a governing influence in the entity's experience. In the period when the aggrandizing of those of interests for the own household, these brought periods of unrest. Innately that of dress, that of interest in dance - yet a sacredness in both that is inexplainable at times, yet the visions or the dreams of those that are sacred TO peoples from same is as SACREDNESS to the entity.
13. In the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
14. As has been seen or given, while there have been periods of doubt, of fear, or troubles, of discontent in THIS experience, there will be the opportunity for all of these to be changed even yet, THROUGH those of the various conditions as are arising, as will arise in the experience of the entity, from that as has been experienced, as is known from the ideals of self, innate and manifestedly in the entity's activities. Do not abuse, but use, but use, that as will come into the experience, of joy, of understanding, in a way and manner as to bring to others that of an appreciation of THEIR influence also.
15. In that to which it may attain, in fields either of home or in that of a career - EITHER may be made, even in this experience. Career in the field of exchange, or endeavors in that direction. In the home, of those that will depend upon same. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) In which former appearances was I associated with my present son, [758] and what was the relationship?
    (A) In those of the Egyptian and in those of the Persian, was their associations. In the one, as was seen - the one was a teacher, the other as a minister in the temples, as seen. In the other, we find the relationship as rather that of son and sister, or son and mother - as was called in that experience - see?
17. (Q) In which former appearance was I associated with my present husband, [417] and what was the relationship?
    (A) As brother and sister in those periods in the promised land, or Judean land; coming in as a representative (the family) of the government, and an aide in that relationship. As a close relationship. In those of the Egyptian period, there rather as worshipers of each other - yet far apart in body.
18. (Q) What form of activity should I follow, in order to be of a help to my child [758]?
    (A) As has been indicated, there is to be those periods when there will be pleasure to the entity from the child, as the child from the mother. In these periods, as has been given, DIVIDE this joy with others.
19. (Q) Would it be best to follow career as mentioned?
    (A) That must be determined by self, as the circumstances or the conditions; for remember, as has been given, will - with the ideal - makes for a development or a retardment.
20. We are through.
