TEXT

1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the present entity, [2661].
2. In entering, we find the entity coming under those influences astrologically that will wield an influence in the present experience, that unless there are those elements in the developing period OF the entity will be SOME for woe, especially as for PHYSICAL conditions for the body in those periods from the 11th to the 15th year, that would have to do with the throat and those membranes of same. Use those for such of the juices of leek and onion, WITH those of the oils that may be poured in or absorbed by the system, that especially of cedar and mustard.
3. In the astrological influences, we find the entity coming under those of Jupiter, Mercury, with afflictions in Saturn and benevolent influences in Venus and Uranus. These, as we find, make for those characterizations that may be acted upon especially by the environs of the developing forces of the body-mind, and of the MENTAL body. These, as we find - in its formative periods in the present experience, and that that would bring FOR the entity must be such as is not ONLY of interest TO the developing mind, but must be a growing, purposeful interest that will mean something to the DEVELOPING entity, as well as individual mind and individual experience. Not as rote, not as tenets, but rather as an ACTIVE force IN the entity's experience.
4. In Mercury, we find one as will be apt in the applications especially of those of mathematical interest, especially that have to do with those scopes as pertain to the sea.
5. In those in Jupiter, while these are in the ascendency, will make for the growth in the mental, in the spiritual, in the PHYSICAL body, with a tendency towards those that will attract, contract, those of moneys in its various shapes, spheres AND phases. This not only as that that may be called specie, but rather as its representative of same. Hence there will be the necessity also in the training, in the application of truth in any sense to the developing entity, not only as to HOW same is attained or gained, or gotten, but as to WHY, and that use to which same may be put IN the entity's experience. That this is NOT to be as an ideal, or an end to be attained, but rather that the life itself, its purposes, its aims, its desires, these shall BRING IN their application those results that will make FOR this the outcome, rather than the aim.
6. In that in Saturn, as the element that makes for those periods when Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Venus are in that position where the influences are such that the ails to the body will be more apparent. Forget NOT those applications as may be made for; for it will be termed - ONCE - quinsy.
7. In those forces in Venus, with the ascendency - after the 15th to 16th year - will bring those love influences as will make for experiences that again must be trained, or that as the influences ARISES that the purpose of same is that through self and self's associations same may be a manifestation of that as would be a reflection of that the self worships, or an IDEAL, rather than a gratifying or satisfying of any selfish or any material interests of the body itself.
8. In the appearances and the effects as these have upon the present entity:
9. In the one then before this we find in that land of the present nativity, and during that period when there was the settling of the land in and about that now known as Virginia - or virgin land. The entity then among those peoples who settled in the land, and among those of the nobles of the land, and one who sacrificed self - in some manners and respects; for the entity was in the name Rolfe. In this experience the entity gained through the experience, and the name, the accomplishments of the entity - as a member of the council in the period - may YET be seen, be known. In the present there will be seen that innate love of adventure, but most of all a purposeful adventure - but this must also need its UNDERSTANDING in the DEVELOPING of the entity in its present MENTAL applications, for these may also be brought to that POSITION where the position, or the accomplishment might be considered above the purpose of same.
10. In the experience before this we find in that plane when the Master walked in the land, and during that sojourn into the land of the Saracens, and through those periods when the entity FOLLOWED the Master through the land. The entity gained in that experience, for coming under the tutelage and the direction of Him as was, as is, the life, the light in this material world, the entity then in the name Suel became one of those leaders of that sect in this land. In the present, as will be seen from the experience, those of that as pertains to these teachings will find a fertile soil; for those that do not ring true will be rejected BY the entity, even in THIS experience, for having BEEN - as it were - the example, or PRESENTING self in the one to BECOME the example, as a martyr, in the present this will find - unless there is truth in those presented to the entity - that which would separate the entity FROM the understanding in the present. In those applications, then, may the entity be that as was in that land where those peoples harkened TO, and understood that that heard came from the SOURCES divine.
11. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Atlantean, and during that period when there was the expanding of the peoples as separated themselves to the various portions of the earth's plane, or surface at the period. The entity then among those who became the settlers in that NOW known as the South American land, or the land THEN of the Ohums. The entity rose to one of position and power, gaining AND losing through that experience, gaining in the service as WAS rendered, losing in the aggrandizement of selfish interests in the period.
12. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
13. As given, the ABILITIES are there. So are the SUSCEPTIBILITIES in the influences as are innate. In the direction of the developing mind, keep that as may be given through Him that gave much to the entity, in understanding that that ability as manifests itself - either in the sea or in the incursion into foreign lands, as will be the entity's innate feelings - there may be that stability that will keep, will guide, will direct; for in that contacted, in that made safe when the entity is OLD in the PRESENT experience may it not depart from that gained, even in the Saracen land.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Any specific vocation for which he should be trained?
    (A) As has been given, those that pertain to the sea and navigation will be the greater INTEREST FOR the entity in its development, but keep first those tenets of Him who gave, "My peace I give unto thee." FIND that peace, in Him!
16. We are through.
