Under the astrological influence, we find the entity under
those influences in Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and in Uranus.
These, we find, do not wholly conform with the earth's
experience, yet in their influences many will be the
opportunities as will be given the entity for development,
physically, mentally, and soul's - or OWN development,
spiritually. This entity need never fear, through this
experience, lost opportunity - but do not become negligent,
thinking, feeling that yet will come another, for with
building upon that IN HAND, GREATER will be the
opportunities, as the experience is lived or applied in the
present experience; for with those influences in Mercury,
giving the mental ability, the surroundings of
strong-mindedness, aided with those of Venus and Jupiter's
influence, these should bring strength of character, strength
of mind, and the position and surroundings that, applied,
will bring those conditions of affluence and effectiveness of
endeavor, will that in HAND be used and applied in the proper
manner, or in keeping with the IMPULSES of the entity.
While, with the square of Jupiter, Venus and Uranus - as was
experienced in the latter months of '25, these, as then, will
bring changes in the affairs - socially, physically, and
financially - yet there must be applied will's forces, as
will keep one in attunement with self's own development, and
development meaning in this sense, not necessarily first
position or moneys, but rather the strength of character that
builds that which brings the consciousness in self of that
oneness of purpose that maketh ALL things in accord with the
well rounded, useful life, that makes for many calling, and
feeling, and knowing it has been not only an honor but a
blessing to THEM to have known, to have met, to have been
under the influence of the MAN, as a man, as well as the
mental and spiritual man. This, to the entity, finds
contradiction in some of the experiences of the entity - yet,
will these be applied with that that came into the experience
through that period of September the 20th to January the 22nd
of '25, '26, and note taken of the actions of self, that as
just given may be made to be worth while, will it be but
applied in the present experience.
In the influences innate and applied in the present, we find:
One that finds the associations of others such that self may
be EASILY led, or may easily influence others - ESPECIALLY so
through certain periods of the life. Again we find those
influences wherein the entity has seen, feels, knows, that
nobleness of purpose, love of fellowship of man to man,
brings the better results than those of the will broken, or a
driving force that demands a condition without respect to
other individual's feelings, actions; knowing that the little
things make up the man, whether in daily routine of social
experience or in the larger affairs of the business world, or
in the greater experience of development of one's own soul -
for that which is continually held before self as the
example, or as the ideal, THAT will be gradually builded in
self, and with the affluence and influence as is exercised by
the individual in this direction may the same be builded in
the lives and in the experiences of others whom the entity
contacts, [
2467] we are speaking of - and in the application
of self towards those elements that have to do with
individual experience may the entity gain for self that as is
a DEVELOPING factor for the soul, for the mind, for the
earthly experience.
Beauty in all forms appeals to the entity. Let this be a
GUIDING factor for good; not WIELDED as a weapon for woe.
Let those of the associations know that, that AS IS builded,
so does the inner man experience the blessings of result -
for the laws of cause and effect are as positive in the
building of the character of the soul, as of making two and
two mean four, or of H2O being water; for the law is perfect,
and converts the soul. KNOW the law, for the law is love.
Be guided by those influences, then, that will give, will
INFLUENCE, towards keeping an IDEAL ever POSITIVE in the
experience of self, whether in business, in state, in church,
or in home.
In the experiences through the earth's plane, few there have
been for this entity - yet changing in their relationships
with those whom the entity would contact in the present.
In the one before this we find during that period when Alfred
the Great was in the land known as England. The entity then
among those who first served as the court under the rulings
made by that monarch or ruler; as the judge, lord advocate,
and were those of the first wigs as were made to separate
from others. Dress today to entity means much, and in the
abilities of self may the entity give in material things much
as pertains to same - whether as to fashion or style. Then,
in that of the COMMERCIAL life, let it be to setting styles -
and don't be weak-kneed about being ready to give them! In
the name Chatham. In the present these are felt as innate
ABILITIES, even in law - and the entity often misjudges self
and others by being afraid, as it were, to express self to
that felt as regarding moral or penal law. Knowing same
innately. Again the entity would have made a judge, or -
hardly a judge, for there would have been too much of the
worry and too much of that of knowing the other side, for
this - yet a lawyer, yes - well.
In the one before this we find in that land now known as
Greece. The entity then among those that led the invasion
against those that would usurp authority and power while the
ruler was away. In the name Xenxoe. In this the entity
gained and lost. Gained through the service as WOULD be
rendered by the position, by the power as taken on self.
Losing in the misapplication of aggrandizing self with power
when others were put beneath the notice of the entity's
efforts. In the present there is seen the fear as has crept
in, for in the punishment meted much fear was created in the
soul of the entity. Fear not! He that is on the Lord's
side, who can be against him?
In the one before this we find in the land now known as
Egypt, and during the period when the reconstruction from the
divisions as arose in the turmoil of state and church. The
entity in the household of the king, and an aide to the king.
Losing in, when there were changes made, the entity rebelled
against those conditions as were brought about at that
period, and was banished for a time. In the return, changes
came for the entity, and a new light, a new vision, dawned -
through those lessons as were given in every phase of man's
experience, through relationships to man in life and the
relationships of man to the Creative Energy. The entity in
the old age in that period, becoming a teacher and a seer.
In the name Elie. In the present there is seen that innate
feeling of reverence for those that know the way to men's
minds and souls, more than to orthodox teachings of a set
sect or cism.
In the one before this we find in that period when man's
indwelling became more of the fact. The entity then in the
land known as Atlantis, and a power during that period -
being honored among those that were called sons of the Most
High. In the name Elem. Losing in, when destructive forces
came, the entity hoped to save self rather than assist in
others. AGAIN we see fear has entered in when power has come
to any. In self, then, find the first conquering of self,
self's desires - setting self in that way and manner as will
lead to the understanding of that relationship that power
gives - rather in that with power comes ability to serve,
rather than power to subserve others. Ready for questions.
(Q) Do you advise continuing in the present business?
(A) Would!
(Q) Is it possible for me to secure a patent on the thought
I have in mind?
(A) Why couldn't it? This may be made into the correct
manner in which these lines may be carried out. Not a basic.
Only through other additions would a BASIC patent be
possible.
(Q) Is my thought for marketing it the best?
(A) The marketing would be the proposition, for it becomes a
SALES proposition - but the IDEA, when it has conceived, will
bring the correct manner.
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.
