TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces.
2. In entering we find the astrological influences of the entity, [2112], are quite different from that as has been BUILDED in the entity in the present; for while there has been three stages of development in the present experience, those in the last three to four YEARS has changed so that things that do appear in the present are but the shadow of that as would be seen from an astrological influence; for the entity has applied the will's influence in such a manner in the present - especially the latter portion of the present experience - in such a manner as to have made a WONDERFUL development.
3. In giving, then, astrological and that builded, these must be seen can ONLY be relative, and - as there has been an alteration - these must not be CONFUSED with developments, or with the will's influence altering the ASTROLOGICAL aspect.
4. Coming under the influence of Mercury with Venus, naturally makes for a mental aptitude for the entity, but the quieting effect that the entity has upon individuals that the entity contacts is BUILDED by the will's influence upon that as has become a portion OF the entity's experience, even though the experience in Venus gives that love for peace, understanding, contentment, hope, faith, vision, longsuffering, endurance, loving-kindness, and those of BROTHERLY love; for these being GROUNDED in that as has been experienced by the entity, the HOPE as is MANIFEST in the present comes from that communion with the higher sources themselves; for he that seeks shall find, and he that knocketh to him shall be opened. Few have gained the insight into what THIS means as the entity has! Be NOT overcome with the long waiting, nor be not WEARY in well-doing; for the MASTER learned obedience, even through the things which HE suffered.
5. In contemplation, then, of those abilities within self, of those desires of those wanting to aid through the efforts of thine own hands - do well that thou hast in hand from day to day, and there will be given that peace, that joy, that understanding, that only comes from the knowledge of God lives! And His Son is in the world! Through faith in His name may we know and see and understand all that the PHYSICAL, the MENTAL, has to bear in this mundane sphere.
6. In the abilities of the entity, these may only be measured by that ability of the entity to remain in that understanding, that knowledge, as has come TO the entity in the last few years; for, as each body meets its own problems from day to day with that understanding that the increase, the love, the desires are to be kept open in a manner that is in keeping with His Son, GOD gives the increase. Be not in that position of one that frets about things, conditions, or peoples not DOING as YOU would have them do! You may only be the channel through which the reflection of His love may be MADE manifest, for GOD works in His OWN way, own manner, and fretting self only brings those of discouragement, disillusions, as to those things that HE would bring to pass.
7. Speak gently, speak kindly to those who falter. Ye know not THEIR own temptation, nor the littleness of their understanding. Judge not as to this or that activity of another; rather pray that the light may shine even in THEIR lives as it HAS in thine. These are the manners in which the sons and daughters of men may KNOW His way. In this mundane sphere there comes to all that period when doubts and fears arise, even to doubting thine OWN self. These may EASILY be cast aside by knowing that He is IN His holy temple and ALL is well.
8. In the conditions that come from those things that are in the past, let the dead bury their OWN dead; for HE is God of the living, NOT of the dead! He is Life, and Light, and Immortality! GLORY in His weakness, GLORY in His might, GLORY in His watchful-loving-kindness, and ALL WILL be right!
9. In the appearances and the effect these have, HAVE HAD, upon the present experience:
10. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Eastern or New England land, where those persecutions came for those who had the visions of the familiar spirits, or for those who saw those that walked in the shadow land. The entity was then among those who were of the household of one who suffered in body for the PERSECUTIONS as were brought to the household. In the name Mary Alden. The entity gained and lost through this experience, for when persecutions came, hardships came upon the entity and there were grudges held against those who brought bodily suffering to the loved ones of the entity. In the present there has ever been innate an awe to the entity of those who were teachers, ministers, preachers, or those who professed ANY association with unseen sources, and a dread to know the END of such! Also this has brought about much of that that has changed the entity IN understanding as to following what has been ORDINARILY termed orthodox forces, or religious beliefs.
11. In the one before this we find in that land, that period, when there were contentions, wars and rumors of wars in those lands that were overrun by the peoples who - zealous of their beliefs - came into the land to conquer it. The entity was then among those in the household of that called the Moslems, and while the entity held to those tenets of the fathers in the experience, yet the entity offered much aid and succor to those who became - as they were - the PRISONERS of that people. The entity then was in the name Telulila. In this experience the entity GAINED throughout, holding to that as taught put into practice that as had been gained in the inner self through ANOTHER association. In the contact with individuals the entity gave that as was INMOST in self as truth. In the present has come those influences ever that has held the entity to those of a high ideal as to moral, material, and spiritual laws.
12. In the one before this we find in that land now called the Holy Land, and about that land where the Master walked - the entity then a sister of she whom the entity met at the well in the land, and the entity came to know of that ministry, following afar; yet later becoming one of those that SPREAD those glad tidings to those in Mount Seir. In the name Selmaa. In this experience the entity lost and gained. Lost in the early portion when there was the aggrandizing of selfish interests; gaining in crucifying of IDEAS for ideals, and gained much through the latter portion of that experience. In the present there is felt that awe that comes with the hearing of that particular portion of the Scripture, the Gospel, the Message read, of the journey THROUGH that land; and the ABILITIES with the needle, with the making of things that have to do with adorning of body, also come from this experience.
13. In the one before this we find in that land now called the Egyptian, and during that period when there were divisions in the land through the exiling of priest, through the gathering of those that made war through the divisions as were brought. The entity was then among those in the temple during the exile, remaining there, also aiding in the upbuilding when there was the return and the re-establishing. The entity was then the priestess to the Inner Shrine, making self of no estate that the IDEA as held respecting the IDEAL set by same might be kept intact. Losing in respect from many; gaining in self's own abilities to build that toward that which is set as RIGHT; being hardheaded, as some would term; being set in ways, as others would call; being graceful, peaceful, lovable and law abiding, as others would term. In the name Al-Lai, and there STILL may be seen in the holy mount - or that tomb yet not uncovered - much of that the entity made as respecting the hangings, the accoutrements for the altar in the temple of that day. In the present, that innate feeling of a certain rote, routine, and the entity is - as may ever be seen with self, with household, with others - keeping in a direct line.
14. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain:
15. As has been given, the entity has set self aright. As to what it may attain lies only with self, for kept - and keeping the faith - never would it be necessary for the entity to enter again into THIS vale, but rather to bask or journey through that presence of the faithful! Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Would it be best for me to take over the house next to my present home, which I have been contemplating?
    (A) Would be well.
17. (Q) Will the financial part of my present home be worked out satisfactorily?
    (A) As we find, it will be worked out satisfactorily. Some disappointing factors arising in same, yet will be made satisfactory.
18. (Q) Have I any healing power?
    (A) What power HASN'T the body, with that faith, with that UNDERSTANDING! These may be used in MANY directions by the laying on of hands, and with prayer - anointing as of oil - as has been given, anointing with oil - pouring in of those of the spirit, that knowledge, of understanding - will bring BLESSINGS to many. Do not NEGLECT that that has been committed into thy keeping - thine own!
19. (Q) Is the application I use sufficient, or could the phenomena give a better one?
    (A) That as may be gained by self the better, than that that may be told; for why take it from another source when self may attain to the Throne itself! WE are through.
