In the one before this we find in that land now known as
German. The entity during that period when there were
changes and inter-changes of the associations with the
borderland, and in the period when there were the
establishing of the relations through the inter-marriage of
those of the land with those of other lands, in that period
known as during that of the Black Prince. The entity then in
the name Goetia, gave much to those peoples in the way of
communications, and of the ways of defense to the lands. Not
as the soldier, but rather as the councillor, or engineer -
as would be termed in the present experience, but rather as
the dreamer, the thinker, during that period. Through this
experience the entity gained little, for with the coming of
power - and with the coming of those of the worldly goods -
the entity used same for self's satisfaction,
self-aggrandizement. These elements in the life of selfish
INTERESTS in the present, will the entity have most to
combat. Not that the element of the influence of both that
in moral, spiritual, or religious influence, does not have
its effect; but REASONABLENESS will, to the entity, crowd
same out, as the entity sees it, and LITTLE faith does the
entity have in that that CANNOT be handled, touched, and
seen. These must be overcome, else introspection will be
far, and AGAIN may the entity turn to Saturn for remoulding.
In the one before this we find in that period known as the
Trojan. The entity then of those that aided in the defense
of the city, and especially under the influence of Achilles
during that period. Not so much the soldier, as one
preparing the way for those who would wage war, and making of
weapons during portion of the period, and among those who
made for the mechanical arrangements of the horse and its
workings, in the latter portion. In the name Parsia. In the
experience the entity gained much during the early portion,
losing in the latter through that of the FEELING BUILDED as
RESENTMENT TO those in power; yet innate there is felt in the
present those of too much honor due those who have succeeded
in position or power, or in money, or in fame. Rather does
the entity see that position, than as to how, why, or when
same was acquired.
In the one before this we find in that period known as the
Atlantean. The entity then among those peoples who gained
much understanding of the application of the night-side of
life, or of the negative influences in the earth's spheres of
those who gave much understanding in the manner of
transmission of sound, voice, picture, and such, to the
peoples in the period, using same to self's own destruction;
for the entity gained a high position during this experience,
and in the Sacred City of Peos (?) the entity RULED with an
UNLIMITED power; yet to self's and to soul's own undoing. In
the NAME Sonl. In the present, the abilities to see, vision,
and to work out in mechanical form; also to see through those
of the IDEAS as may have to do with mechanics and with the
developments of same for man's own use. In these lines the
abilities lie in the entity.
As to the application, as to whether these are for the
building up or the undoing of man's own self, will the entity
gain or decrease in its present experience.
The abilities, then, lie in that direction as has been seen.
Keep self in attunement with that that will lift up, direct
to the understanding of the relationships of the created to
the Creator; that, not as pawns were they made, but that they
might be one with Him in the whole scheme of universal and
the universal forces in THEIR application. Not to be moved
as powers for self's aggrandizement, but as for self's
UNDERSTANDING.
In love's influence, then, will the entity gain the more.
We are through for the present.
