TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [2686], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In entering, under the astrological influence, only a portion would be found to conform to those regulations as have been set as respecting some influence; though, were those tenets of the early Egyptian and not Chaldean followed, they would nearer conform to those influences as will be seen manifested in the entity's experience during this present sojourn.
3. Then, as we find, THESE are as the ruling influence in the experience by, from, the experiences of the entity - especially in THESE environs:
4. Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury, with Uranian and that of the Arcturian powers being in the ascendancy, especially in the early portion of the entity's present experience.
5. Irrespective, then, of will - these are innate with the entity's present experience:
6. One of cheerful, happy disposition - INNATELY; and finds the way of self-expression especially in that of the following of thought as may be expressed, or in song, dance, or MOVEMENTS that bring to the mental body those changing influences in individual lives. This from the bigness and strength of individuality as manifested in the entity.
7. In that of Venus, the love of those near and dear to the body - both as to material and as to MENTAL associations, bringing for the entity the ability to make and hold friendships, and relations that are in keeping with that as is manifested in the spiritual side of love and love's endurance.
8. In Mercury, we find the abilities latent and manifested in - easily does the entity gain the insight as to mental application toward peoples and toward conditions. Then, rather do people, peoples' relationship - rather than THINGS - interest and magnify themselves in the INTERESTS of the entity, and for the entity - then - would be the career, the greater development physically, mentally, spiritually - these being kept in accord, or in attunement with that of the higher forces as are manifested in those influences in Venus and Jupiter.
9. In Mars we find those of the temperamental conditions; yet, for the entity, we find one that, even though abilities are manifest, the TEMPERAMENTAL would be rather of that as would be DEVELOPED FROM the MATERIAL standpoint, than innately finding its expression; for easily does the entity flare up, but as easily has the entity been able to control self in such conditions and relations, and as easily will it continue to be - especially will that of the higher influences and the ideals be kept in the influence of DEVELOPMENTS throughout the entity's experience; yet these very same influences in OTHERS may control many circumstances as will arise in the entity's experience during that period, especially, in the thirty-second and thirty-third year.
10. In Uranus and Arcturus: In Uranus, again we find that temperamental manifestation of music, of the theatrical reflexes, and in such a career will the entity make for self the greater contentment - provided that the basis for the activities is founded in the ideals of the entity.
11. One that may be loved into carrying forward that felt. One also that may be forced, through circumstances of fear, to submit - and in such will gradually grow those conditions, if allowed to be manifested, that bring for discontent, unsatisfactory relations. Then, FEAR NOT - for fear brings that of contempt first from those that BRING same, and then the seed is the dissatisfaction in self, and condemnation of self's position. Keep rather that as is of the idealistic; for the entity, in form, in mind, in manifestations of it's, the entity's, personality - and, most of all, the individuality - shines through in that influence gained in Arcturus, the power and influence over many in the earth's plane.
12. Then, one that will be - in the twenties - raised to power, influence, fame, fortune. These, kept in accord with the ideals as set those in motion, will bring those conditions that will make for a life well spent, and for relations that are satisfactory. Though, these turned into the same relations that would bring discord, would be just as far afield in OTHER directions.
13. In the influences as come from the experiences in the earth's plane and their influence in the present:
14. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Roman. The entity then among those that brought for the peoples the ideals of the new relationships of those conditions between peoples in power politically and people in power mentally, and in the reasoning through those presentations of those songs, of those activities in arena, in forum, in the stages, the entity brought an understanding and a development for self and those whom, the entity contacted, and in the name Renola. In this present experience we find the abilities to meet conditions in any phase with the happiness of one USING, whether for good or for disorder, in the way of play - making the hardships, then, to others, as but play to self. This, builded in WILL'S influence in the entity's experiences - and may be made for that, to that, which will bring the greater influence in the present day.
15. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Grecian, when there were the building up of the arts as are manifest in many of those that passed through the earth's experience in the present and in the days just past. We find the entity again in that field where, for beauty of face, beauty of form, beauty in ability to manifest the various and varied phases of man's experience in the earth; the entity in that of Hestryn - not p-r-y-n-, but t-r-y-n- - brought much for the peoples in that period, for the entity was WORSHIPED for her ability in that period; gaining in the early portion, losing only in the ability to control much - these used for selfish motives, brought distresses - physical and mental, and the ideals were abased through attempting to get EVEN, as it would be called - for, faults in self, blamed on others. In the present experience we find these bring for the entity, often, those conditions wherein the easier way would be to say nothing, or to blame faults on others; yet the entity QUESTIONS much in such relations. But keep the faith. Be true to the principles of the IDEAL, and ever KEEP an ideal before self; knowing that in gaining and attaining there is a difference; for ONE is to use, the other is to serve WITH, or IN use.
16. In the one before this we find in that land known as Egypt. The entity then among those that were in power, position, in the temple - and ever has, and will be, that awe within the entity for SACRED music, or from the elements that declare in their activities of the glories that man may attain in the understanding of the elements' relationships with the Creator and the created, and the storm is BEAUTIFUL to the entity. The waves and the foam declare a something that is hard to fathom, as does the lightening upon the clouds, and the night in its glory, the moon in its wane, and the sun in its morning power - make for awe inspiring and inspiration to the entity, and these may EVER be turned TO BY the entity for that inspiration, for its relationships in every clime, and in ALL conditions, when folks, peoples, audiences, or the public, feel that there is a lack, or something amiss, the entity - if it will go out to the dew ladened bowers, and in and among nature's OWN activities, there will come that inspiration, even as it did in the temples when there were the incense burnings for those peoples that were amiss in their relationships of the alien and the native, of the priest gone astray, and the king bowed in sorrow, of the native in the hills, and of the shepherds waiting for news from those in power. In the name Isentkur. In the present, as seen, those powers in nature, those manifestations bring the awe inspiring conditions for the entity, and ever should these be the criterions, the elements that make for the BETTER understanding. Not in the pastoral songs, not in the wayside minstrel, but rather in the GLORY, power, magnificence, of the BEAUTIES of nature.
17. In the one before this we find in that land now known as Peru, in the days when the peoples known or called the Ohums [?] [Aymaras]. The entity then in that relationship to the ruler as was dethroned on account of conditions brought in from the Atlantean land. The entity then came to power through the dethroning of that king, to whom court was paid, and the entity brought to self, to many, those understandings of use and ABUSE of conditions in natural, and in the mysteries OF nature. In the name Oouuee. In the present we find, there is innate little worries of peoples' integrity. The entity is honest with self, yet from unknown sources DOUBTS arise. The REASONS are apparent.
18. In the abilities of the entity in the present - these lie in the field of giving to peoples an understanding that may only be gained by precept and example, as is given in song, dance, or in activities in the play. In THIS the entity, keeping the faith in self, keeping the ideal, may excel - and bring for self and for others the greater DEVELOPMENTS, for the SPIRITUAL body, for the soul. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Is the new school mother selected going to be the right one and bring out that which she is best fitted for?
    (A) As a whole, yes. There will be some unsatisfactory meetings, yet the entity will be able to control these and develop toward that as is for the better physical, mental and spiritual forces of the entity.
20. (Q) What causes the entity to complain of ailments so often and are they real or imaginative?
    (A) As is seen from that given, imaginative forces are manifested ever in the entity - but FEAR entering in, brings for a physical being that which becomes as real as were they disordered. Hence the ideal in body, in mind, in attainment, must be ever kept before the entity, and that the whole well rounded life is NECESSARY for the complete success in any phase of one's experience.
21. (Q) How can neatness be instilled in the entity?
    (A) Nature owns its OWN neatness - as does the entity. Alter not that in this direction, for it is natural - and nature FOR the entity to be itself! Don't make it someone else!
22. (Q) How can mother aid entity to select her friends?
    (A) This has been seen, that friendships mean much - and to hinder in many ways is to break the spirit. While these may be governed by the precepts and by ensamples, yet the entity must live its OWN self, make its OWN friendships, choose its OWN relations - yet these, studied in the light of that given, will be seen to be those that are questioned often, but in the end will bring the better conditions for the entity.
23. (Q) Why is she combative, and how can she overcome it?
    (A) This has been given, as to why. The natural combativeness as has been manifested, but these are to be met with those very same conditions, in that there must be the IDEAL - and that, IN the ideal, there must be the answer ever, and DO NOT fear.
24. (Q) What are her numbers or lucky days?
    (A) ALL of them are lucky days for THIS entity, will it guide itself in the right way! Those in Thor, or Thursday, being those that would APPARENTLY be - for, as has been seen and given, many variations come for this entity. In numbers, these would come to those of the eight, or eleven. We are through.
