In entering, we find astrologically the influences are in
those periods that bring for conditions that may be made a
real development, or conditions that may be left as mediocre,
or conditions that may be made as to bring discouragement and
disorder for the entity. These we find rather unusual
conditions as surround the entity. There have been periods
in the development in the present experience when the
material conditions of life so overshadowed the rest of the
entity as to make for that, that has made the entity a
doubter and a wonderer. There have been periods when the
trials, the turmoils, the sadnesses in material things have
opened for the entity a vista of promises that were, while
they lasted, beautiful; gradually fading, these have brought
again those of uncertainties, distrusts in self's abilities,
distrusts in others with whom the entity has been associated.
These, to be sure, with the entity's experience, the entity's
environs, may be easily cast aside. Attempts may be made to
put them out of the experience, yet these will constantly
face the entity, unless there is some DEFINITE stand taken
that is nearer in accord with that innate influence that
cries out for a stability for self, that it may tie to that
something that will be enduring. This in its analyses, will
the entity but perceive same, is the far cry for an ideal to
find an expression in the activities of the entity, and to
get far away from those things that are of the physical that
so easily beset the mind of carnal forces, carnal influences
in an experience of an entity; for as seen, as experienced by
the entity, when a soul has wandered afield and is closed in
by those conditions that make for a continued combativeness
without a stabilizing influence, one EASILY flounders.
In the astrological, we find as these - these rather the
experiences than that as has been, or would be, termed from a
PURELY astrological; for the influences in the earth as
applied to the EXPERIENCES of the entity in other sojourns
make for that as is builded:
In the appearances, then, we find as these:
In the one before this we find during that period in the
revolutions in now France. The entity was then among those
that were in the way of being pulled both by political and
church conditions in the experience. In the name Amelia, in
the household of an officer of the guard to the king in the
period, the entity sought to establish those connections,
associations or relations between those that were of the
patriots (as termed) and those of the peoples that rebelled.
The entity gained and lost through the experience. Gained
when keeping hold of an ideal as to the purposes of
individual attainments in services to others; losing in the
hold lost upon an ideal turned to the gratifying of own
material and selfish desires; and, as may be termed, IN the
law of self-preservation did the entity LOSE self as to its
ideal. Hence some combativeness in the present experience,
and this continual warring of ideas, purposes, aims, desires
of the entity. Through many a trial has the entity passed,
both as to the material DEVELOPMENTS in this experience and
in the varied associations, in the varied surroundings, in
the various attempts to stand alone; yet falling - for
FAILING to hold TO the IDEAL.
In the one we find before this during that period when there
was the return of the peoples from the places of bondage, or
the supervisions of others, and with the return of the
peoples under Nehemiah the entity again returned to the
Promised Land, in the household and in the lineage of the
children of Benjamin. The entity then in the name Eliah
gained through this experience; though in hardships, though
in trials, though in tribulation, there was found by the
entity that those who seek the Lord while He may be found -
and having a workable knowledge of His desires towards men -
may have that as is builded in in material position, whether
it be fame, fortune, social, or what; but a MERITING of that
shown must be that as comes to each soul in ITS sojourn, its
application to the experiences of the entity. In the present
is seen that of the tendency towards a confining of self,
especially in the early period of experience in the present,
to the laws as pertaining to His peoples. Later these were
expanded to that of a more LOOSELY understanding of same.
Later they have become those of NOT understood, and a
WONDERMENT to the entity.
In the one before this we find during that period when there
was the entering in of the peoples from the north land into
that now known as Egypt. The entity was then of the natives
who were in the household of the leading RULER of the period,
and among those that were put aside when the entering in
brought those whom that ruler accepted into the household.
The entity then gained in the early portion of the service
rendered the people; losing with the adverse forces as were
brought into the experience by the entering in of others.
Hence the little vision as is often seen or felt as
respecting peoples of other-faiths, other classes, other
denominations of experience; yet these being BUILDED in the
present experience, the entity is gaining something of an
insight into that necessary for individuals to be open to the
truth WHEREVER it may be found.
In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to
which it may attain, and how:
As has been seen, the entity innately depends upon the
affluence, the influence of others and becomes a reflected
light of that it desires. In the attempts to stand alone
comes distress, turmoils, and that of mis-understandings.
These having occurred in the experiences in the present of
the entity, the entity finds self at a WONDERMENT in the
present. So, the associations, the affiliations with those
where the home is AS an INSTITUTION for the dispensing of
those things that are the FOUNDATIONS of same to those the
entity may contact in EVERY WALK of life, and necessary for
the better development, expansion, understanding, and for ALL
relationships for the entity.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What days are best for business of this body?
(A) Sixth day, whether of the week, the month, or what.
(Q) What dates for closing deals?
(A) Those that would be opposite, or the multiple of same -
would be then on the 12th or the 3rd, or the 9th, see?
(Q) What business for body's best success?
(A) The home.
(Q) What will 1931 and 1932 bring to body?
(A) That depends upon the entity's being able to grasp that
ideal that is innate from the entity's experiences through
the earth plane, as applied to the physical conditions of the
body.
(Q) Should body marry again?
(A) As is considered conditions that are innate and
necessary for the developments, it should!
We are through for the present.
