In those of Mercury, we find the body MENTAL that is
exceptional, and while there be some conditions as have
to do with the purely material things that are not EASILY
understood, but a theorem, or a spiritual, or a MENTAL
quorum, to the entity, is its application - has not been
so easy, for this - as we find - in Neptune's relation with
Jupiter AND Venus - has held the intuitive forces in such
a position as to the body mental, [
2756] we are speaking
of - [
2756] - in such a position as to KNOWING, yet the
relationships in either those of the love as related to duty,
and the variations of duty between love, has kept rather
CONSTERNATION for the entity; for the entity is one that love
means the most of everything, and duty such a kindred thing
as to prevent often the full expressions in love, whether
filial or spiritual, or universal. These, as seen, the
contending influences in the experience of the entity, and
would VARY GREATLY from that as is ordinarily given as to
astrological influences; for under Pisces, and under those
of just following the cusps, these ordinarily bring a very
DETERMINED nature, and one that quietly goes about to gain
WHATEVER is in the desire of the inner being. Seldom has the
entity in the present experience attained its heart's desire
in such a manner to be satisfied WITH same WHEN gained; yet
not DISCONTENT, NOT wholly discouraged - for innately that
love, that duty, as holds for many of the relationships, both
to family and to associations. Family ties to the entity
mean much; yet innately there have been associations in
the material phases of life, but to the entity had little
to do with materiality that made for conditions, could
the entity only but embrace, have builded much in the
entity's experience.
In those of Jupiter, the ability to forgive often, and
forgive much - for many have been, and many are to the
ENTITY, hardships to bear. MOSTLY MENTAL. These have gained
such conditions in the entity's experience as to have made
a bigness of purpose that properly, even now, applied and
experienced in the entity's present experience, will make for
the satisfactions that are BEYOND compare, and much of the
GOOD - as is felt to be good; for to the entity many things
that are held by SOME as even impure, to the entity are
clean. To many that are NOT even trustworthy, to the
entity are the truest of true.
IN the applications, then, and in the study of self and that
as is to be gained, and to be attained, may the entity find
the answer to much that has TROUBLED the life, TROUBLED the
present experience - and with the comparison of those things
that have been builded in the various experiences, and
applying self in the light of those experiences, may the
entity build that which will mean the UPLIFT of self to an
understanding wherein the entity may give much to others.
This should EVER be the BASIS for the entity's mental
reasoning; for beginning with that of the Creative Energies,
God IS, and in Him we all live, move, and have our being,
whether in the phase of worlds, individuals, or that created
for man's sustenance - all are a part, a portion, of the
whole. In the manifesting of the various phases of life,
that the expression of the Creator and that created reflects
its expression OF the Creator. In self, then, "NOT MY WILL,
NOR THE WILL OF THOSE WHOM I LOVE, OR WHOM SURROUND ME, BODY,
MIND OR PHYSICAL! BUT HIS, the Creator's, and my reflection,
my ACTIVITIES, are the expressions of MY concept OF MY
Creator, my God" - See? In the application of self in this
direction, we will find the self will find that happiness,
that contentment, that is not surpassed; is not found in any
other direction.
In that as innate influences of the entity as expressing
themselves in various directions:
In any of the phases of life the entity finds interest. That
which is of the MOST interest, is those of peoples' MENTAL
ABILITIES.
In those experiences in the earth's plane and their influence
in the present:
In the one before this we find in that land now known as
England, when the Charles the Second returned to that land.
The entity among those of that court, and gained through
the expression of the understandings BETWEEN those
peoples; losing when there was found that there was
self-aggrandizement of interests by others. In the name
Eloise. In the present experience there is seen the
relationships as come between self and others are ever shaded
with the doubt of whether there be selfish motives or not.
LITTLE of selfishness, then, is manifest in the entity's
make-up; yet FEAR enters in - and fear is the destroying
forces of a strong will, that has - and even IS POWERFUL in
its abilities! Taking away from self that of the ability
to put it over. Often the entity feels, even from this
experience - "MIGHTY NEAR I have found it - mighty near I
HAVE succeeded, but I'm NOT QUITE satisfied".
In the one before this we find in that land known as the
Arabian. The entity then among those peoples of the hill
and sand country, and among those that were of the leaders
of the land; coming INTO the land THROUGH the bringing up
of the peoples from the Indian country - but GAINING much
THROUGH that experience, and in the name Abeldei. In the
experiences, these would be noteworthy - for they influence
MUCH the innate feelings OF the entity in the visions
mentally gained through that experience. Oft in the storm,
oft in the calm, oft in the shadows of the noonday sun, and
oft in the evenings when the stars were bright, the entity
reasoned - and wondered, and wondered - yet with the return
of those held near and dear in the family relations, the loss
- the fear of loss crept in. Again [arose] fear, and the
desire to hold close - or the [being] afraid to hold near
and dear those that were loved, or beloved - or [the being]
fearful of expressing the innate feelings as were experienced
by the COMMUNION of self with nature. Know, then, as has
been given, that all natural forces are of one source. So is
self! and so is self's mental vision, and attuning self to
these - making one's will one WITH that Creative Energy -
out of same grow the WONDERFUL things in man's MIND, or the
beautiful things as come in nature; for it IS Nature's and
God's law.
In the one before this we find in the hills country again,
and to the entity the beauty of hills, the beauty of forest
and stream, have a peculiar calling - yet FEARFUL often of
the results of same. While the body feels CROWDED when in
crowds, yet lonely in expanse; yet the water calls often
to the entity, and its creative forces as may be manifest
through same.
In the upper land, then, of that land known as Egypt. The
entity lived among those peoples who first came in to subdue
the lands, and was of the tribe and household who CONQUERED
the land, and in the name Arst. In this experience the
entity lost and gained. Lost through the spite as was
manifest in claiming for self those of the things and peoples
held so close. GAINING in the application of the tenets set
up in the latter portion of the entity's experience in that
land. But ever dwelling just on the OUTSKIRTS of it all;
SEEING it, KNOWING it - only feeling it; not becoming a
portion of same in the expression.
In the ABILITIES of the entity in the present, and that of
which it may attain, and how:
Interest self first in some definite development of the
mental abilities of the entity as relating to the gathering
of data, either respecting the peculiar expressions of
various tenets as may be correlated, or of the beauties in
nature - and MAKE of same that as may become worth while to
many peoples. A gatherer, then, of the efforts of others to
express self in various fields, or various lines, and those
that are UNKNOWN through the efforts of the entity may
be MADE to understand and gain much in THEIR experience.
KEEPING those things as has been given, as the basis to
build from. Ready for questions.
(Q) Will the entity have a second marriage? If so, in what
year?
(A) This may be determined best by the entity, for will the
entity interest self in that as has been given for its best
development - this would be better than marriage.
(Q) Will entity's husband retain his present position so
that we can remain in N.Y.? If so, how long will he remain
with his present firm?
(A) He may retain same to the period that is desired by
same.
(Q) Is it to the entity's best advantage to retain the
friendship of A. J. [...], ... Avenue, New York?
(A) RETAIN same; for in the building and exchange of those
conditions as are near and dear to each - BUILDING for self.
BE not fearful off that as may become the CROWNING feats and
forces in the life!
(Q) Will A. J. [...] be a helpful business influence in her
life?
(A) Be made so, will be helpful - will the entity make it
so. The entity has been allowing itself to be controlled!
Do some CONTROLLING now!
(Q) Where should the entity spend the summer months?
(A) Somewhere, where it will get some flesh on its body!
(Q) Where would that be?
(A) Sand and sea, pine, and PLENTY to EAT!
(Q) Will the year hold any traveling for the entity? If so,
where?
(A) This may or may not be. There will come the
OPPORTUNITIES FOR itself. Will the physical forces by the
better, then this would be WELL. Were they NOT the better,
would NOT be well - but use all, and WHATEVER comes in
the experience of the entity, to build toward that, that
may accomplish within self, self's abilities, self's
gratification - NOT of desire, but of WILL to be something,
FOR something, and something worth while! BUILD toward that!
USE all for that! THIS not selfishness! for He that giveth,
aideth, his fellow man, LENDETH to the Lord - and IN THAT
may the greatest satisfaction as may be accomplished in
the experience of any, be found. Help the other fellow HELP
himself! Not just aid to the gratifying, that "I have given
this - I have done that for the other fellow", but let the
other fellow have FAITH and confidence in themselves, and
above ALL - KEEP it in self!
(Q) Is there any other advice you can give that will be
helpful to the entity?
(A) Understand that as has been given, in first search out
self - take stock - take counsel WITH self; knowing that
there is the ability within self to turn the affairs of the
whole UNIVERSE - and work toward that as has been given. We
are through for the PRESENT.
