(Life Reading Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the entity here and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the entity [2122].
In entering the earth's experience in the present we find astrologically the entity coming under the influences of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus. MANY have the experiences been of the entity in the earth's plane. These as may be given are those that made for specific developments or retardments in the entity's experience.
In the astrological forces as are seen through those of the zodiacal, these are not in conformity with that as is ordinarily given in those as would be; for the entity in the application of self's will has altered these much, and only as an INCLINATION may they be seen; while in the INDWELLING of the entity in the sojourns of entity in that as makes for innate influences THROUGH that indwelling in earth's plane, THESE we find more in accord with that that may be developed or that to be warned of, as we find conditions even in the physical of which the astrological influences appear, and in taking warning may be guarded against those things that would make for a detrimental influence, and in USING same develop, gaining much from those influences coming in the occult or in the psychic forces of the entity.
Then, in Mercury we find these as the personality or abilities latent AND manifested:
One of keen vision as to intrinsic conditions, details that have to do with little and with great values as to things, commodities, stocks, and OFTEN does such influence or such urge at times lead the entity to extravagance in some directions.
In those influences in Jupiter makes for those as we find manifestedly in choosing of friendships by the entity, as of kindred ideas rather than choosing them to be used; for the entity innately had rather be used than to use an individual. These come from that experience through those sojourns, as well as the applications in the earth's experience. In the same also makes for the innate desire there has been in the entity to "see things and go places." These, as we find, make for that answer for the broadness of vision sought by the entity.
In those in Venus makes for that as in the love experiences of the life; not as may be called secondary, but duty, business, PRINCIPLE is usually placed first; not that sympathy or those duties as bind through those of association and relations to individuals are not apparent, yet rather AS FOR associations and relations does the binding experience exist in the ENTITY; for there be friends whom the entity loves as much as the closest kin.
In the influences as we find in Uranus, those conditions as are seen in the desire for UNUSUAL experiences in those of the mysterious forces as may be manifest in individual experience, group experience, and such, and is often that which to those not KNOWING the individual produces that of "Good fellow but rather curious" expressions in same.
In the warnings as we find from astrological and from those of Jupiter, these - as we find:
Beware of those conditions that would produce in the physical body, in the fall of the year, where those of contagion or contamination from waters, or places or conditions would bring FEVERS, or those conditions innate physical that sap the vitality; especially will these be found in the latter part of Septembers and the early portion of Octobers in MOST years for the entity, and especially in the present - for Jupiter will be far away and only BEGINNING in its influence as of those that BRING good tidings to its indwellers or peoples.
In those conditions as are builded, as we find in the entity, and the influence that earth's sojourn has had and does have upon the present experience:
In the one before this we find in that present indwelling land, and in that portion of same now known as Georgia, or during those periods when the settling of same by that individual Oglethorpe who brought both good and bad to the peoples in the land. The entity then was among those that came under the displeasure of that first governor, and many of those of discontent and distrust in peoples as comes innate to the entity by the little acts of individuals is from experiences of promises in that experience that were NOT fulfilled. The entity both GAINED and lost, in the name Rubynne. In the service given in aiding others, gaining. In those grudges held because of the activities, and the distrust brought by others censuring the principles rather than individuals, lost - for in the development of individual forces, VENGEANCE is of the creative forces as brings its OWN recompense, rather than that as may be measured with the short hands of man.
In the one before this we find in that land now known as the German, during those periods when those peoples were overrunning the south lands, when there were the first of the invasions of the peoples even into the Roman land. The entity then was among those leaders of the peoples as prepared for the ways, and in the name Heldegridgen. In this experience the ENTITY gained. Gained throughout the experience, for even as the leader among the peoples the entity gave self in service for an ideal, as well as in bringing for the peoples, the followers, that were with the entity during the experience, that of a better understanding of "as is sown, so shall the harvest be", and in the applying of self in gaining the insight into those understandings of the laws, not only of recompense, cause and effect, but of those that work and those that play, if done in the service of those that may be of a helpmeet to another brings its OWN reward. In the present from that experience is found those influences that make for sincerity of the entity's to those to whom PROMISES be made.
In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Persian, or the Arabian, and during those periods when there were the overrunning of the lands by the rovers or the bedouins. The entity then was among those that gathered with U-h-j-l-t-d in the land when there was peace being declared again. Young in years the entity came as a leader, but those influences under that leadership (though broken in body) brought that of consolation to many peoples, and made for the entity - in the name then Jujijll. In this experience the entity gained much. In the end lost much. During this experience the entity, in the early portion, added much to self in this world's goods, as well as into the storehouse of knowledge and understanding. With persecution that arose with the incoming of the upper portion of the Persian forces, that invaded the Arabian land, the entity being under persecution gave that that created the DIVISIONS in the land. Hence that peculiar influence as often arises in the entity's experience with those who lay claims to those of religious cults, cisms, isms, or the variations as come to the entity from the experience. Will the entity apply rather those not as ideas, but as ideals, the inner man may GROW, or gain a WORKABLE or an APPLICABLE influence for the spiritual or soul development of an entity. In the warnings here, again that the entity seek not through ideal forces as are from IDEAS; rather that as answers to the IDEAL as is set by SELF of the CREATIVE forces that bring CONTINUITY of experience; for from this experience does travel and lore, and the seeking of BRINGING to individuals that that may aid the entity in the understanding, arise.
In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian, and during those periods when there were dissensions and discussions arising from conditions existent from the return of the deposed priest. The entity was then as the aide to the keeper of those moneys cast in the treasury, and made for those peoples that that aided in the hours of recreation to give much of self in the relaxing of body AND mind. Hence in the PRESENT is seen those ingenuities that may be builded for expressions of individuals through relaxation of mind, yet - as has been seen through the experiences to the present - REQUIRING that an accurate work BE ACCENTUATED in the developments of same. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained through much as was given to the peoples through the associations of those that were about the priest and the keeper of the jewels, the moneys, the things as were contributed; yet when the entity stood ALONE - with the passing of these - in being sent TO the other lands, the entity allowed those of the opposite sex in the lands to lead the entity astray, falling in that way that so easily beset those that have set self for a purpose. In THIS the entity lost. In the name Ra-Sisri. In the present, as seen, many are the experiences and the associations of the entity, and the delving into the mysterious forces AS made manifest through the ACTIVITIES of the entity in the experience, makes those of the oriental forces - as termed in the present - of special interest to the entity, in the attempt to understand and to apply an occidental and oriential [oriental] mind as one to another.
In the one before this we find in that land known as the Atlantean, and in that city known then as the Poseida, or P-o-s-o-d-o-i-a itself. In this experience the entity excelled much in the mechanical appliances of that period. Hence all mechanical devices are of interest, and many have brought in the present those things that were detrimental in financial forces, as well as others that were successful inventions. The entity may gain much from this experience, yet these should ever be tempered by the PHYSICAL abilities to not BECOME the too great a speculator, from the varied other experiences. In the name Emmir.
In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain and how:
As seen, varied have been the experiences of the entity, and in many fields may the entity excel and exceed others. First should the entity find in self that which answers to the innate desire to make self in an aptitude, or in a manner safe in ITS desire to know the continuity of Life itself; for only in such may the entity have an IDEAL, and NOT just be satisfied with ideas. Then, in so doing make those forces that make manifest through the SINCERITY of self in the applications to conditions in and ABOUT the entity, bring those of the material or carnal forces to USE same in DIRECTING those that would gain the knowledge the ENTITY acquires in this study. In THIS may the entity find the greater development in the present. Make for self those that make the spiritual or soul development, and the answer from MATERIAL forces FOR physical desires will be the natural RESULT, and not MAKE physical desires the aim or purpose. Ready for questions.
(Q) Would the unique development [of moving picture studios] at Virginia Beach which I am now planning be successful? [See 2122-2.]
(A) In a measure would be a success from the beginning. To be sure, with the changes as will come in the next two to five years would make it a greater success.
(Q) Are my present associates in this connection the proper ones to make it a success?
(A) The success must come most from self's own efforts. There ARE those of whom the entity is doubtful, or questions. Be mindful of these, but - as a whole - proper associates.
(Q) Would one H. C. Meyer [Henry C. Meyer?] be an asset or a liability in this enterprise?
(A) A liability, as we find.
(Q) Give any further advice or counsel that would help me make a success of this undertaking.
(A) First, as has been outlined for self, know that success in JUST the material forces is NOT lasting; unless it be builded much in a manner as of old; that they add to that of those from whom success would be gathered in material forces, [I Chr. 22:12--16?] that thou hast failed. [See 2122-1, Par. R1.] We are through.

9/23/70 GD's note: Mr. [2122], now retired from his successful business, has recently designed a safety vest for bicycles, that glows in the dark on the front and back of the riders, which is being recommended to the National Safety Council of the American Automobile Association for approval. A near accident to his ten year old grandson riding his bike triggered the invention.
