TEXT

1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In entering, we find astrologically the entity coming under the influence of Pisces, Uranus, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. In the astrological aspects in the present, as in other appearances, we find the entity changed, as is made manifest in the will of the entity.
3. In those builded as aspects, whether innate or as personality in the present, these we find apparent in the present experience:
4. One well versed, and one INNATELY so, in occult forces - especially as has to do with signs, numbers, moons, and phases of occult forces; yet these are tempered with logic and reason, and while they often bring for the entity those of greater blessings, they also bring WONDERMENT and hard things to understand.
5. One that loves the beautiful in all of its aspects, and finds in every phase of life that which shows and manifests the spiritual side of life.
6. One that is by intent, and innately, a teacher - by precept and example.
7. One that takes on self the burdens of many, ministering in word and in deed to the needs of many. Many of these are builded in the present experience through those influences as have been gained by the entity in retrospective and introspective experience.
8. One that loves history, travel, and those of interests that have to do with same.
9. A mechanic mind, or mechanical mind, as related to the human body, whether as a mechanical object or as one that may be used for manifestations of other influences outside of the material body.
10. One that finds in self the answer to most of the problems of the age, and to the way and manner of approach to others.
11. One whose experiences in the earth's plane have not ALWAYS been of material development, but have constantly been of a spiritual development - yet one who in self, innately, feels much is yet to be accomplished through labors in the vineyard.
12. One who may give much yet in this present experience through the teachings, as well as example, that will aid many another traveler along the earth's way.
13. In the appearances and effects - this entity we find not of a great NUMBER of appearance, but VARIED in their activity.
14. In the one before this we find in that land wherein the entity now dwells, and near the present place of sojourn, for the entity was among those who VISITED in the land - and established those of a dwelling in that land now known as Connecticut. The entity then of the Norsemen, and in the name Odeno, and the entity gained through the experience in the giving of self that others might understand, and in denying of self's physical interests that others might have. The entity finds in the present experience that urge to be the minister, in deed, in little kindly acts, in courtesies in home and abroad - yet tempered oft by those of the desires to roam.
15. In the one before this we find in that land when the Master walked in the land. The entity then among those of the Roman Guard who were struck by the sincerity of the MAN and of the followers of the Man, as man, and WITH the breaking up of the general accepted rule on the last day, became a follower of those of the despised sect. In the name Romual, and the entity WAITED on those that bore the tree. In this experience the entity gained, and in the present the honor, the inspiring words of that as written of the Master always brings a tremble, a fear, a not wholly understanding of just why these make a trembling in the inner man.
16. In the one before this we find in the land now known as India. The entity then among those of the hill country that were attacked by those of the low lands, and the entity then the leader that led the peoples against those considered as invaders. Then in the name Objuel. The entity gained in that, though injured in body, the entity ministered to the needs, the desires, the wants of others - giving self in service. In the present, that of the desire or innate feelings of using physical abilities to temper the deficiencies in others; or the physician.
17. In the one before this we find in that land now known as Peru. The entity then among those that were the leaders of Ohums [?] [Aymaras?] when there was the breaking up of the deeps, and the lands disappeared and re-appeared; and though the entity lost his life in the aid attempted to be given to others, MUCH was gained in this experience. Being subdued by him who, taking advantage of the breaking up of peoples, nations, groups - the entity remained true to self, in that there was the according to each man his JUST portion of the divisions of spoils. The entity then in the name Ulmu.
18. In the one before this we find in that period when the nations came together for the study of protection of self against the animal world. The entity among those that received the report of the meeting in the land known now as Egypt, and the entity among those that put same into action, as to using the elements of the air as a defense against the animal world. In the name Oou. The entity in the present honors and respects those that attempt to conquer the air.
19. In the abilities as are seen, much may be given by the entity, in counsel, teaching, in precept, in word. Study again and again, self - and through this as is given, find that self is a portion of the Whole, and such a portion that others may be awakened to the oneness of man with the divine energy, that brings into being those that would serve Him.
