TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the entity [1226], born March 17, 1893, in Ghent, N.Y. You will give an aura chart of the entity, indicating the symbols, colors, and the meaning of each, that they may be made into a drawing that would be of help to the entity.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity called [1226].
3. In giving an aura chart, this is a visualization of the activities through the varied experiences in the earth - and the symbols under which the entity acted. Hence the beauty of same depends upon the artist's concept, yet these should be so drawn as to magnify the virtues, minimize the faults. However, the faults should be indicated, - not so as to give an excuse for the entity, but to show that to be met in self.
4. So, the greater stress is to be put on that to which the entity may attain.
5. For this entity, - we would begin in the center at the bottom with the volcano, the circular roadway, the plateau and the temple - as the fire worshiper. The temple on the plateau would be in the foreground, the volcano in the background, yet a portion of the plateau would be indicated - with the shrub, garden or vegetation between the two. This, to be sure, may be made very colorful, if it is the desire.
6. Upon the left side of this, in the base, put the question mark; this outlined, not black-faced but outlined, in the proportion to the central figure. About this, on the left, indicate the symbol of Mercury; this in gray and white, four of these about the question mark.
7. Upon the right, in the lower righthand side, put another question mark; this also not black-faced. About this, in color, should be the sign of Aries - in coral, or near red.
8. These would indicate the place, the activities, and the questions as to whether that done is by reason of or in the spirit, or by the head, or the mind regardless of spirit.
9. In the central space above this place two figures. There should be a pathway connecting same. Upon the right, in the center, put the wheel within a wheel, - this to be in color, but more of white in same. There would be a twining cord or ribbon connecting with the figure to the left, in the center, - which would be the facade of the temple in the 'city in the hills and the plains.' The facade would be with the frontal portion the temple columns, and two columns with the heavy beam connecting over same, with a pennant (not a flag, but a pennant) over same, - the pennant being in green, the facade of the temple gray, and the connecting line gray with white.
10. Upon the left of this put the sign of Venus, - in white and green. About same would be two figures or symbols of Leo.
11. Upon the right side put also the sign of Venus, - in green and white. About same would be two symbols of Sagittarius - these upon the sides, you see, not above and below.
12. For, upon each of these - on the right and the left - would be a five-pointed star; golden.
13. These would indicate the activity of the entity in the 'city in the hills,' or in the Persian experience as the temple worshiper, also the confusion - as might be indicated by that figure in the right portion, showing that particular experience of the entity; while that upon the left indicates the activity in the temple service there.
14. In the center above this put the horse and the rider, with the shield - and the cross on same. The figure on the horse would be hooded, as a knight. The horse should be a roan color, the shield in silver, and the cross on same in gold. This would be the cross, not the Maltese but the Christian symbol of same. The hooded knight would be depicted in a coat of mail, - this rather bright as to armor, and the feather in same - both white and red, but only two feathers, not three.
15. Upon the left side put the symbol for Mars, - in pink or near coral. About this put four symbols of Pisces, in black and white.
16. Upon the right side put the symbol for Jupiter, - in gray and white; dark in the shading of gray, and rather brilliant in the white, as it shades from same. About this put the symbols of Scorpio, - small, but also in black.
17. These would indicate the period, and the warring, whether from madness to purposefulness - indicated to the entity in the manner in which there was the activity through that experience.
18. Above this put quite a wooded or frontier home; with the quietness of the snow, with the red light in the window, with the smoke curling as from the chimney in the center of a two-room home, with a porch about same. Snow would be indicated on the foliage and trees about same; with - not distant but in the front of same - a water course, indicated rather by ice than running water.
19. Upon the left side put the figure of a plant, - a good stalk of tobacco. This, to be sure, would be green, with four figures about same of Leo - in color this time; rather in green. Do not put the blossom on the tobacco plant.
20. Upon the right side put a sheaf as of rye, not wheat. Hence the beards would be much longer, as also the straw about this - but the sign of the sickle upon the left and right of the sheaf; while above and below would be the five-pointed star, the lower one gold, the one above in silver. The sheaf, to be sure, would be golden in color, but much of the straw in same well outlined.
21. Again these would indicate the period, the place and the activity of the entity; and yet this would be the indication rather of a waiting period - though the activities indicating the interests of the entity, rather than too great an activity. Yet the home, the desire, the hope and purpose would be indicated.
22. That to which the entity may attain:
23. Here, in the center, put the shining sun - as of near noon; while upon either side below same would be the cross - this shaded; that is, the background of the cross leaden in color, while the face of same would be very brilliant in its color. The horn of plenty, small, would be turned toward this, from the right and from the left; indicating - as coming from same (and the horn of plenty would be in silver and gold) - the fruits of love, hope and faith.
24. This is that to which the entity may attain, - the bounty in mind, in spirit, from love, hope and faith in the cross and the son of righteousness.
25. We are through for the present.
