TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the entity, here known as [2670] and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and exhibited in the present entity - [2670].
Many are the changes, many have been the alterations in the astrological aspects of the entity, through the application of will as respecting the entity's relations in the astrological, as well as through environmental conditions and relations.
In the astrological, without respect of will, we find as these influencing the activities and the innate influences of the entity:
Venus, with those benevolent influences of Jupiter, making for influences wherein the entity is often misunderstood by others, as to its attitude, or motive forces that impel the thought or the deeds, or the activities of the entity, as relating to its (the entity's) relations to individuals, circumstances, or conditions. As the entity has APPLIED itself in will's forces respecting these relations, has made for the many changes that have been builded in self respecting these. Most of these have been for development, for good, for those forces that have made for a development in the entity.
In those relationships in the influences from Mercury, with Uranus, has brought those associations with things that have to do with mechanical influences in the life of individuals, changing for a betterment of conditions, associations, and relations of individuals, groups, classes, and - in many instances influencing many as may be called - masses.
Those things that pertain to the material THINGS of the world will, have been, must be oft associated with the entity, and from such operations must come, will come, those things that influence the entity as relating to the material things of this world, monies, stocks, houses, associations and relations. These used in accord with that as has been builded, IS being builded by self in its relationships through the love, and those broadening influences in Jupiter and Venus, will make for the greater contentment in the present experience of the entity, and in relationships with conditions, affairs, individuals, peoples, and such; for in these relationships we find, while in the present there has been - and will be, for the next six to nine months - a troublesome condition that arises from those turmoils of "What will people think, what will people say?" as respecting the activities of the entity, for the receding influences of Jupiter in its present aspect in the life makes for the changes, but has also increased the LOVE influence in Venus, and the entity finds self touched within more easily than has been experienced by the entity in times past; yet more of a turmoil at times comes with same.
With those influences in Mercury or the mental abilities of the entity, with those influences that come from the Uranian, making for decided lines to be drawn by self, MUST make for a development, will the entity heed those experiences in this material plane, in those relationships as the entity has held, and that are innate within the soul's or the entity's force itself.
In that builded in the entity in the present through these alterations, the greater portion has made for development, making for THESE as personalities for the entity:
One capable through MANY influences, to attract as well as to repel individuals, making for a personality that at times becomes questioned even by the closest associates of the entity itself; yet the entity - when it holds within self that known to self, or held by self as that necessary influence for the keeping in mind that purpose, that aim, that desire that is created from the SOUL'S forces - will make its activities in the proper direction. Are they influenced by the desires that come from the material alone of the entity's experience, they will become those discontents, those disconcerting influences, those uncertainties that make for trouble from within.
In those forces as seen in the abilities of the entity from those associations through the earth's plane, as well as the influences in the forces about the earth in the various spheres of development or retardment, we find:
One whose capacity for knowledge is limited only be self and self's acquiescence to the ESSENCE of things that pertain to mental or material conditions in the affairs of others.
One, when interesting self in individuals, finds a satisfaction that answers not to anyone but to self. True indeed may it be said of this entity, it lets not the right hand know what the left hand doeth. Well that this be kept in an attitude of direction from the forces from WITHIN, than in those of "What will this, that, or the other individual think?"
As to the experiences in the present - the sadness, the joys, the sorrows, the enlightenments, have been piled one upon the other. Through the entity's experience in the present many phases of life are seen in their entirely; will the entity not become morose upon the judging of same - but rather governing same by those forces as from within, that makes for an UNDERSTANDING, and an answering TO that of the CONTINUITY of life itself, greater will be the blessings to others, to self; for the aid one may give - as the entity has experienced - is as sowing bread upon the waters, for it will indeed return to thee; rather than sowing upon the hard soil or among those where cares and the deceitfulness of the relationships of earth's conditions crowd in and belittle, and choke out those that would make for the forty, the sixty, the hundredfold blessings that come from such relationships. Not that the Maker, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts needs any service from anyone; yet that done to these, "the least of my little ones", shall not go unrewarded. Thus was given, He that IS the light, the life, the way, the water of life, indeed comes through the activities OF an individual; not merely as taking thought, but that done, that accomplished, that desire to BE a CHANNEL of blessing to a little one, those weak - aid those; those in strength counsel with; those in want aid in assisting themselves; those that hunger for righteousness have them, fill them, indeed.
In the appearances and the effects these have had, do have, will have upon the experience of the entity in the present plane:
In the one before this we find about this particular land, this particular location, during the periods when there were the first settlements in the land, and during that period when there were wars, rumors of wars, with those peoples as then possessed or inhabited the land. The entity was among those first settlers, being the third - yea, the fourth child born in that island, in the name Nancy again; and in the that period the entity suffered in bodily conditions, yet grew in grace, in knowledge, in an understanding of how the relationships of individuals with others influence their lives to those things that made for a building of a nation, and in the thoughts held by the entity, in the deeds accomplished in the body, in the service as rendered to those who were in need, in want, in body, in mind, in spirit, did the entity gain through that experience. In the present there are those particular influences felt for things that partake of the BASIS of conditions in the experiences of individuals. To the entity many of things that are of a relic nature answer in a peculiar way and manner, just certain things or certain conditions influence. Rather those that are of the NEWNESS make an appeal.
In the one before this we find in that land known as the Roman, and during that experience when there were the teachings of those peoples that come in from the south land. The entity was then beautiful in body, in mind, and a favorite among those of the household of the rulers, being then in the household of Tertullus, and in the name Caesira. The entity lost and gained, lost and gained through this experience, for the turmoils of the mental body brought to the entity many experiences that were hard to be understood, and the entity lost in not being able to make the decisions within self as to which side it would cast its lot with; yet serving often, gaining through much service; lost in rebellious influence as brought by others. Hence in the present we find the entity, while counseling with others, prefers rather to go alone and make its own decisions. A fear of what will be the outcome of this or that move is innate within the entity. This fear often brings discontent, and from the experience makes those influences in the life that makes oft those closest TO the entity unable to UNDERSTAND the entity; yet will the entity follow those that speak from within - for the entity often finds that when it counsels most with self in the quietude, when it counsels most with self, there are INTUITIVE forces that act from an unknown source from within. Again we find from the same experiences that which touches upon the entity's feelings, as it were, that makes for a sudden decisive, activity that brings a peace, and joy and contentment. Follow with self COUNSEL, and with taking same in prayer - the HUNCH, as it may be termed, or those intuitive forces that arise from those periods of counsel with self - and the entity will not go awrong.
In the one before this we find in that land known now as the Egyptian, in that period when there were many dissensions, many upheavals, through the activity of individuals in this particular period. We find the entity acting in the capacity of the Mother Superior, as would be termed in the present, to those in the temple. Here, many were the discordant conditions that arose from the sides that were taken by individuals, groups - in both sexes; for in THIS period, men - as well as women - came to counsel with the Mother. Those of the period whom the entity contacts will be very decided in their opinions, or their likes and dislikes - as will the entity to those whom it contacts, for the entity forsook not its position throughout its whole experience; for being of those who were placed in this position by the activities of the priest and of the king who counseled or guided the young king in these various times, the entity gained through the experience; yet suffering much in the discontent that was experienced by the entity during the period over the troublesome conditions in the lives of individuals whom the entity thought much of, whom the entity claimed as its own; for many sought the counsel. In the present the entity repels and draws individuals to self THROUGH this experience. Oft has the entity counseled within self as to the why of this condition, why some drew near for the time and then seemed far away, why those whom the entity would counsel with seemed to hold self aloof, and unable to receive or to give JUST that they apparently sought as counsel; yet will the entity counsel as within self, much may be gained through the APPLICATION of self in this direction, in drawing others out, in aiding them. USE for aid; do not abuse for self those forces that may be manifest through THAT experience.
In the abilities of the entity and that to which it may attain in the present, and how:
As may be seen from the influences, the entity has ever been in the position of an aide, a counselor, a help to many, in various experiences. As the entity lives its own life, let it not be alone - for those whom the entity draws near to may be aided. Then, keep that as is committed in thine care holy and sacred, for all are held accountable for the deeds done in body THROUGH the desire that PROMPTS them; not as man sees, for man looketh on the outward appearance - not GOD looketh on the heart.
Keep that, then, inviolate. Add to thyself those of patience, those of long-suffering. Forgive, if you would be forgiven. Give, if you would have - for he that giveth a cup of water in HIS name shall in no wise be neglected, nor unmindful of the peace that cometh from service.
As to the warnings for the entity in the present - these, as indicated, in the next few months will be as troublesome periods about self and those close associated with self - but will the love of those forces that make for impelling of individual attributes be as the counsel to self, and to those about self, great will be the consequences in DEVELOPMENTS, as well as in contentment, peace, joy, understanding. Ready for questions. [See 2670-4, Par. 9-A--16-A on 3/31/31, in re daughter, [2894].]
(Q) How should I proceed to collect money advanced to E. K. [...] during the last three years?
(A) This will necessitate some physical action through the operation of the laws.
(Q) Has the stock been issued? or will it be issued soon?
(A) When forced to, it will - though the claim has been that it has, and is used as a position or collateral in certain directions.
(Q) Does our farm in Northampton Co., near Roanoke Rapids, N.C., have any mineral or oil deposits in paying quantities.
(A) There are many minerals that may be commercially used, but not on an extensive scale. The most that is valuable in the minerals is that of the mud or clays that may be obtained there.
(Q) What precautions should be taken to counteract danger periods mentioned?
(A) In the way and manner - Will the LOVE counsel be rather the ruling factor, these will protect; for EVERY individual has what may be TERMED (from the material plane) its own guardian angel, or influence. LOVE and ITS effects guards THIS entity. Depend upon the motive force in love's influence.
(Q) In which former appearances, and in what relationship, was I with my husband - who passed from the earth five years ago?
(A) In the one just previous to this, and in the Egyptian.
(Q) How could I dispose of the cottage at ..., Va. Beach?
(A) Don't be too hasty about same, for there will come those periods when these may be used for the most gratifying conditions in the experience of the entity, and may be made a portion of the entity's work, even itself. We are through for the present.
