TEXT

EC: (Going back over years - 1907 - 1906 - 1905 - "Here's a change" - 1904, etc., on back to 1882.)
Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [2115].
In entering the present experience we find the entity astrologically coming under those influences through sojourns, and influenced in the astrological manner of the cusps - and also Pisces. In the sojourns, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and those hindrances in Saturn. Hence a varied experience of the entity in this present sojourn, for second only from the present experience is that through Saturn.
In the astrological influence, irrespective of will, as has and does alter the experience of the entity - through the application of the entity's will as respecting that which is the entity's ideal, as it (the ideal) is in accord with that given by the Creative Forces in precept, then example:
About many waters will the entity EVER find the most satisfying; yet not always the most contented, or contentment with its surroundings.
Pisces' influence brings those conditions, as has been the experience in the present, as will be the experience through that to come, where definite decisions must be made by self, that alter not only the surroundings and environs but the adaptability of self to those sudden changes that come in the experience of the entity.
In Jupiter we find rather those influences in which the entity is capable of adapting itself to various and varied characters of experience, with a broad vision of conditions and experiences that will alter individual opinion in various subjects, or in their varied experiences with conditions in a material plane - rather than the altering of opinions of individuals as respecting conditions. That portion studied more will give to the entity a still better adapting of self to the surroundings that must come in the experience of this entity.
In this experience we will find also, that with the advancing of Jupiter's influence in this present portion of the entity's experience, there should be brought in the next two and a half to five years the greater contentment AND satisfaction, with the privileges of more of the material circumstances that will enable the entity to become, as it were, more in accord with its ideals; and at the same time the opportunity to be more in an at-variance TO those things that ARE as the ideals of the entity.
Influences in Mercury, for the MENTAL forces of the entity, enable the entity to judge (WITH the experiences, and those innate influences in Jupiter) the experiences of others as may be applied in their abilities to be CREATIVE in thought, rather than their CHANGING or building THOUGHT. Hence those injunctions that have been given as to the application of self to that experience in individuals with whom the entity may associate, that changes or alters thought - rather than that of the material position or expression even of self.
The Uranian influences will make for those periods when changes come in the experience of the entity. In the present the greater will be in the middle or latter portion of April, of the present year, when decisions must be made by the entity as to its activities in the present developments. As to what the developments will be, will be dependent upon the manner of will's influence through those periods, especially; remembering that the periods of advancement and development in the present experience are BEFORE, rather than behind the entity, in this sojourn.
Those influences innate and manifested in Saturn make for disappointments, that have been both material and personal in the experiences of the entity. In the present there have been those periods when the disappointments in individuals' activities have been most crushing; yet there has arisen oft from these (dependent upon the application of will as respecting that as the ENTITY'S ideal, as compared with the standard of Creative Forces) those conditions which made for stepping-stones, or those that made for retardments - either in the present or for those experiences to come.
In the application of will respecting the experiences that make for the abilities in the present, with those experiences that have been had by the entity in and through the earth's plane, combined with the experiences, training, knowledge, understanding in the present: That, as indicated, of controlling rather through the suggestive training methods of individuals' ideas and abilities in expressions of selves in that they, as individuals, would attempt to convey to others as to THEIR particular standing, or directing, in their individual experience. Would the ability of controlling, or urging, through the impulse of that thought, that training be in those spheres wherein the activities of the individual were compelled by the impelling forces of Creative Energy, rather than of self's individuality to become personality, there will be a much more contentment and satisfying results in the experience of the endeavors and activities of the entity.
In the likes and dislikes that are builded in the entity, that as SOME would call show; yet to the ENTITY rather is it the experience of self as combined with the efforts of others to express themselves in terms of their OWN CONCEPTS of things or circumstance, or conditions. This brings also those likes as respecting the arts, as applied to the higher expressions of ideas - and sometimes ideals, in the experience of others; also those desires to travel, those desires to see the various circumstances under which the peoples and conditions act one upon another.
In the appearances, and the influence these have upon the present experience:
In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Norse or Norway land, and in that period when there were those sojournings of many peoples to a new land. The entity then among those who with high hopes set out to conquer, and to establish a new ideal in a new land. There were many changes in this sojourn, or journey, and with the disappointments that came much bitterness was builded for a time in the experience of the entity; yet in the name Olinia the entity developed in the latter portion of the experience - but far from those lands to which the entity was first directed. Hence, as we find, there has been oft in the present experience those conditions wherein there is innately EXPECTED sudden changes. The entity has builded itself, as it were, to expect most anything to happen at most any time; yet ever does there come something of that as builded in the experience, that WHEREVER the efforts may be put forth, THERE may be ALSO builded much in the experience, as well as aid given those about self. In this there is much saving GRACE, as it were, in the adaptability of self to environ, as well as to circumstance. (These are quite different!)
In the appearance then before this we find in that land now known as the Persian or Arabian, during those periods when there were the dispersing of many of those truths that were builded about an individual, and about an ideal - BUILDED by a peoples with a leader from the nomad people. The entity then among those who journeyed to that land which later became Athenia, or the land of the Grecians, and the entity gave much to those peoples in the manner and way of expression, as well as in the music of those periods; for the entity became one of those whom later many of the peoples of the land almost worshiped; gaining much through the first portion of the experience, losing only in the latter portion when the aggrandizing of self became the sin to the entity. In the present many of the abilities in the direction of training those to express, or to manifest that in thought and in action of body, in speech, in music, gives to others that of expressing themselves. These are the fortes of the entity in the present, dealing with others as to TRAINING of others in those fields of expression in music, in song, in the movement of the body. The entity was BEAUTIFUL in person during this experience, and there STILL may be found those of the statuary of the entity in Athea (?). In the name Ileia.
In the experience before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during those periods when there were turmoils in the land. The entity then among those who were of this turmoil, being of the household then of the priests and of those that were in the position of counsellors to the king. The entity after the return of the kingdom to peace or quiet, with the return of the priest from being cast out, the entity among those who gave much TO the peoples in the Temple Beautiful, of the dance and song as pertained to a portion of the worship in that temple. Faltering, or disagreeing with many of those who would carry same to the various lands, or various places; yet the entity gained much, lost much, through this experience. In the name Aa-Pltr. In the present, those that would prepare themselves must - to the entity - have a standard that may be held sacred by them. Also that experience which is innately felt within the entity as regarding peoples, as to their relationships to their religious faiths, or their religious turns, are exercised in the entity through the experience of that sojourn.
In the abilities then of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain:
As given, the greater possibilities for the entity are BEFORE the entity, for this present experience or sojourn. Use rather that as has been developed in the present experience as the background, but not altogether as the STANDARD to which the entity would build. The relationships of the entity with INDIVIDUALS, and individual training, as related to groups or classes, will EVER be that work in the present, for the greater development in this experience. Make, keep, that ideal as was builded by the entity in the experiences through those in Egypt and in Persia, and there will be found this will produce - as it were - a continuity of life, of force, in ability, in strength of body, of mind, of imaginative forces, of emotions, that may find expressions in the lives, the hearts, the minds, the SOULS, of those the ENTITY contacts. Those with many talents or abilities, of them much is required. Keep faith in self's own abilities to draw upon the FOUNTAIN of ALL power, all faith, all hope, and the praise be EVER unto Him!
Ready for questions.
(Q) Shall I change my profession, or stay in it?
(A) As given, in that as has been BUILDED will be the opportunities for the greater development in the present, and that of change in position or place, or association, must be determined by self - and the greater period of same will come in the latter portion of April of the present year; for then we will find that Uranus' conjunction with Jupiter and the earth will be influencing those persons or individuals most who have sojourned through that environ.
(Q) Have desire to travel. Would you advise travel?
(A) Desire to travel, and the ABILITIES to use those experiences in the DEVELOPMENTS of the abilities and talents in the VARIOUS fields of art in its highest form, as pertains to the development or the experiences of others. But KEEP that standard of thought foremost in those so developed.
(Q) In what part of the country would it be best for me to locate?
(A) Where there will be plenty of water about, wherever this may be - whether Central, East or West, keep close to large bodies of water.
(Q) Would you advise more study in my field?
(A) Study, to the entity in the present, is rather that of application. In that way, yes. Either that, or by the BROADENING study as comes from travel and association with the various surroundings as pertain or appertain to same.
(Q) Is it best to go into something new immediately, or wait a few weeks for further developments?
(A) We wouldn't make many changes until after these come in April! because there will be DEFINITE conditions then! That's SEVERAL weeks, but change now would only be to change again then!
(Q) In more study, would it be best to go on working for academic degrees?
(A) That is application in this special field of work! Go on studying in THAT way and manner! If these bring degrees, why alright - then use 'em!
(Q) Any further advice for this entity at this time?
(A) Do these, and you'll have your hands full!
We are through for the present.
