TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here; those records of those relations with the universe and universal forces of that entity now known as or called [1283].
2. In giving that as we find may be helpful in the experience of the entity - for much that is apparent in the records of the entity in the present as well as in those experiences through the sojourns in the earth and the environs about same might make volumes, but these that there may be applied that which is the helpful, the hopeful experience for each entity in its sojourns in those experiences in the material environments in which there is the awareness of the spiritual, the mental, the material activities; which, while as one, are to be met in their own sphere of experience for each entity.
3. And these become then as signs, omens, as the various effects of the astrological, numerological or those activities of every nature that deal with the experience of man in his relationships as one to another.
4. For as there is seen in the experience of an entity's sojourn, it is that it - the entity - may become aware of that the entity manifests in relationships to its ideal, or that as may be termed its Creative Forces or God in each experience.
5. And as these are as the manifestations of that activity in relationships with the individual, then these become as the signs, the omens, the knowledge to the entity of its relationships to those Creative Forces.
6. In giving the astrological aspects as we find, these are approached not so much because of the position of a planet or an earthly satellite about same but rather that the sojourns of the entity in those environments BETWEEN the activities in the material plane represent what the entity HAS done regarding its ideals in THOSE activities.
7. Hence as we find, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Venus - all become as a portion of those influences that bear upon the entity; that is:
8. Venus makes the entity as an executive, or one ruling or directing others; or those affairs that deal with groups rather than the individual. Though the activity of the entity may oft be individual in its relationships, those things or conditions in which the entity becomes associated or active are those influencing the lives and the experiences of the greater number.
9. The Mercurian influence makes for the high mental, ennobling influences as the student, the great activity in its relationships with those things that are of the mental nature. Hence conditions and the activities with individuals are the more important in the experience of the entity than things. Yet things have to do with those activities of the entity oft.
10. In the Saturn's forces we find the changes. Hence there have been in the experience in the present, as a portion of the entity, those things of varied natures; and changes have come, do come in the experience to keep - as it were - the balance, and as to make for those influences to produce a symmetrical activity.
11. Hence we find those things that are of rhythm, those things pertaining to history, those things pertaining to data, those things having to do with the activities of groups in their commemorations of the activities become portions of the entity's experience.
12. Those as we find from Venus make for the inclinations for friendships that become deep and abiding; and that as may be expressed as the greater virtue of the entity in this experience, knowing how to apply the self in its relationships to its friends, to its associates, to its activities in dealing with such. These make for those experiences that become a part of the entity's OWN activity.
13. As to the experiences in the earth, and those that influence the entity in the present, we find not a great number in the present; for the entity's development and activity in the present has been such - as indicated - as to outgrow the influences of many of those experiences or sojourns in the earth. Hence we find those that have made for what may be termed from the material angle as hardships or periods when oppression or suppression of the individual activity became as in the present the influence for the mental and the material influences of the entity itself.
14. Before this, then, we find the entity was in the land now known as the French, in those portions of same nigh unto the border of the Spanish land, when there were the activities called the Crusades.
15. The entity's associates, the entity's activities, then were engaged in the preparation of the defense of those principles, those tenets that made for - in those activities - a changing of those environs for much of those peoples that later brought about the separations of the activities from what is called or termed Church and State, or local activities in the spiritual edifices for those activities.
16. The entity then was left by the associates; and activities that made for the whole group of peoples about that city in the southern portions holding together there, brought about the experiences that have made, do make for the entity's desire, for entity's activity in that which may be termed freedom of speech for her own sex, as well as its activities in relationships to those things pertaining to the gathering of data and to the handling of individual affairs and individual relationships with its own mental aptitudes and mental abilities.
17. In the name than Flaun Mercellei, the entity in the material and in the mental gained; while in the soul or entity's development there became an activity when there had been those changes in its surroundings and its activities.
18. Before that we find the entity lived in the earth during those periods when there were the activities just previous to the advent of the Holy One into the earth's experience, among those peoples of that group then called the Essenes.
19. The entity was active among those in aiding to gather the data from the various teachers of the varied lands for the interpretation of that for that particular group.
20. Then the entity was very close to one Anna, in the temple service. For it was of the same household, of the same activity, yet varying somewhat in the manner of their presentations. Yet when the ministry began in the latter days of the entity's experience in and about that portion of Bethany and a part of Jerusalem, there became much of that the entity had given, the entity gave, that became as a part of that to those who looked for the activities of the minister, the teacher, the Holy One.
21. For the entity then was a prophetess as well as among those, as it might be said, who were the recorders or who kept the records of those peoples.
22. Hence the associations with John, as well as with the various individuals that led with those groups, became as a part of the entity's experience.
23. And in the present the greater aid may come to the entity in its development in interpreting to others the effect of the teachings of such groups in and among individuals, as well as its place, its relationships to the mental and spiritual development of groups as well individuals.
24. For from that sojourn the abilities to write and to speak arise as a part of the entity's activity, if the self is given for the development of those activities of the entity.
25. Before that we find the entity was in the land now called the Egyptian, during those periods when there was the sojourning from the Atlantean land.
26. The entity then was among those holy women that, with and through the Law of One, assisted in the establishing of those relationships with the various teachers when there were the attempts from those activities from Mu and from Saneid, Ra-Ta and On (?) for their better protection as groups, as a people and as a preservation of the Law of One.
27. The entity was born in Egypt, yet it was of those peoples that were of the Atlantean land.
28. There again we find the entity raised to a priestess in the Temple Beautiful, for those things as pertained to the preparation of individuals or groups for their activity among their brethren became as a part of the entity's experience.
29. In the present these very activities as has been indicated, yet approached from that study when the entity acted in the capacity of not the soothsayer - as of much of the day - but as the prophetess, as the recorder - THESE may make for the periods in the present experience when the greater help, the greater blessings, the greater peace may come to the entity in applying itself in those directions.
30. Then, study first to show thyself approved unto that thou hast set as thine ideal. For as thou hast seen it in thine experience in thine own material life, so ye may again find in this experience that peace and that harmony that comes from the closer walk with Him.
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) Was the entity at Jamestown Island? If so, would you tell something of her experiences?
    (A) This, as has been indicated, has passed. There only as one passing through an experience.
33. (Q) Did my activities at Cape Henry in helping to erect the Cross have any connection with that experience?
    (A) This was as a fulfilling of those purposes of the associations of the entity in the experience at Jamestown, but then only as entering, as leaving - as Nancy Foster then.
    This is an indication as to how the entity may through this experience of entering within gain more from the study of those activities in the Palestine experience.
34. We are through for the present.
