TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present experience.
2. In entering, we find this entity - [1381] - entering under the influences of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Uranus, with those aspects in Taurus and Aries. These astrologically, without the influence of will's power, naturally brings certain influences in the life and in the experiences. WITH the application of will through earth's experience these may be changed, altered, modified, or made null and void. In this entity we will find contradictory statements, then, as relative to astrological influences, and SEEMINGLY contradictions to those of will's influence, for there has continued to be the combative elements of influence with this entity's experience; yet these, in relation to the present experience, may bring for the entity an understanding and a knowledge that, applied in the present experience, may bring that contentment that comes with the application of that known as applicable, workable, theories, theses, or truths.
3. In the influences then, as seen in the present experience, many are varied or altered by the earth's urge, with the astronomical or astrological experience, and vice versa.
4. In the present, we find:
5. One of high, broad, mental abilities - with the capacity of seeing, visioning, any project, proposition, or the activities of same. Only when the entity allows fear to enter does faltering enter in as an impossibility to the entity.
6. The entity has, holds, confidence in self, but easily loses confidence in others, when a faltering step is made.
7. The entity has the ability to make more lasting and stronger friendships among men than among her own sex, yet once gaining, once having the friendship of anyone to the entity, it becomes a thing apart from that of ordinary thinking, speaking, acting, or any relations between same. These in their very acts contradict the statement, that would be very true, that even UNDER this condition the entity is very much a woman.
8. In the effects of the will's application many of these conditions may be changed, altered, or made of little or great effect in the daily life; yet these remain as innate expressions of self and will ever find the better expression in such relations; for, to the entity, to be able to do any good and to falter in same becomes that of sin, error, unprincipled in an individual.
9. Under the influence of Jupiter, there is constantly before the entity high and ennobling influences, and the entity hates, abhors, and detests that that is in ANY way of a lie.
10. In the arts the entity may EVER prosper, in influence or in activity. Not in art as of purely imaginative, but rather that that is of the constructive in the MATERIAL sense.
11. In the experiences may be seen those effects that hinder or aid the entity in the present experiences, as well as innate influences that will yet find in this experience greater expression, for even in physical the body should be powerful, mighty, strong in physical action, physical effect, physical experience.
12. In the experience, then, before this, we find about that place then known as Fort Dearborn. The entity then in the name Gwynn Robin, and the entity gained through this experience, yet with those who lost in that experience was tormented much by those influences, and some of these - in quite different relationships - have brought to the entity in the present experience those of lost confidences. In the experience the entity gained through that of the ability to instill confidence, faith, hope, in the abilities of the peoples to gain in the establishing of homes, firesides, and such - and the love of the home comes from THIS experience, yet the ability to read MEN and men's activities also comes from this experience, and hence conflicting conditions exist.
13. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Roman, or the Rome land - the city on the hills. The entity then among those in the court of those that brought terror to those that believed in a lesson, in a man, in a vision. The entity among those who were in the court of that ruler. The entity not wholly, in soul or mind, in accord with the ruler. Rather in the half-hearted manner partook of that faith. In the name Intalia. The entity lost through this experience, being unable, as it were, to set self in determined will against the surroundings and the environs of the period; yet this, as we see, brings in the present experience that of the innate detest of one that even shows yellow in any sense.
14. In the one before this we find in the land of that now known as the Persian. The entity then among those of the household of the leader who overran this land, being among those that were left in the oasis, or hill and sand country, to care for those that were left, and the entity gained through this experience, losing only in that of the censure held against those who did not return; yet innately there is felt in the present experience the doubt, the fears for promise without closer activity or action with that promised. These, to the entity, must be kept wholly in accord. In this experience the entity known first as Ania. In the period self was raised to power, changed to Inoel.
15. In the one before this in that of the now Egyptian country. The entity then among those brought in to this land from the hill country by him [165] who established the land and became its ruler, under this invasion. The entity then in the household of this ruler, and gained after there was the subduing of rebellion and coalition after division. The entity then raised in power through the ability to become the datastician, statistician, and the one to lay out the rule for those of the household of the then ruler. The entity in the name Iselia. In the present experience the abilities of the entity, added with those in the last experience, become combative in directions, and at times bring trouble to the entity.
16. In the abilities of the entity, there is seen that of BUSINESS, of business associations, and the home. For this entity BOTH may be accomplished in one, and few there be that may do such. As one who would counsel, one who would aid in close places, close quarters, the entity will gain much. Keep self rather in that of knowing, from the sources as have been seen and given - through the experiences in the earth's plane - that the life and the continuity of same are dependent upon that builded in the soul, that it may answer to, with, and for the spirit of life itself, and only in same and in service to others may the self find the satisfying contentment that brings peace. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Would you advise my continuing in the business world, or -
    (A) As given. We are through.
