TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the entity now known as [2906].
2. In entering astrologically, we find influences coming under Pisces, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, with adverse influences in Mars and Saturn.
3. In the relationships in the present entity, and that as has been builded through the application of self, self's will, as an entity, TO the astrological relations, THESE - we find - have been altered much. Rather as to the changes as are to come to the entity in the present experience, to that of the altered experience or change, would be the most interesting, the most helpful, the most WHOLESOME to the entity.
4. In Pisces - we find being that of a cusps nature - one that has changed or altered many of the circumstances and surroundings.
5. In Venus, WITH Jupiter, we find one giving self the more often in a broad sense in service to others, in a helpful, hopeful, EXALTING manner. These, with the changes as have come in the present experience of the entity, will - with the coming AGAIN into influence OF Jupiter WITH Venus in the present year, and in the next two to three years - bring the more HOPEFUL, though an ALTERED activity of the entity, in ALL the experiences OF the entity in the present. With the changes, as begin in the coming month, with the ascendency of Venus, brings then a change in the RELATIONSHIPS for the entity, both in the material sense as well as in the SPIRITUAL and MENTAL outlook upon the labors OF the entity towards its OWN development, as WELL as for the development of others in this present experience.
6. One gifted, then, in abilities; hindered only by those of incendiary relationships as are brought about by oppressions, whether of those of the material or those of the warlike influences in individuals, nations, groups, classes and masses. These being the hindrances, in the coming year - and years - much in these directions must be clarified for the entity, that the activities and the labors, and the thoughts as are given, may be changed, that the broader visions will come, and the broader activities will be for the entity even in the LATTER years than in that period of preparation through which the entity has come since its change in eighty-four and five, when there were alterations to the mental attitudes of the entity in its directions and its relations to individuals from an outside influence.
7. In those of the appearances, and the effect that these have had, while many have been the appearances in the earth's plane, these are given for the greater changes as have come in the experience of the entity, and those that affect the entity most in its PRESENT relationship to itself, itself's development, with its relationships to individuals, groups and masses.
8. In the appearance then before this, we find in that land that is now known as England, and during that period when there was the oppression of the peoples by those in power. The entity then among those who suffered under the changes as were wrought, and those things as were builded in the mental attitudes of the body have brought in the present experience those of the dislike of oppression, and the lending of self in every way and manner to alleviate same so far as the abilities of the entity may be given in any and all directions. Then in the name Wethersbie. In this experience the entity gained and lost, and gained. The entity gained through the activities in service for others, lost in the attempt to induce by force others to see the aspects and visions as held and gained by self; gained in LENDING self in the making it possible for others to expand in their activities for the aid of those that were in the position of less understanding than their own. In the present, as seen, the desire or the like of travel, the interest in groups, individuals, the oppressions as seen in the various fields of activity, the ability to depict same in the writings as the entity capable of giving to others that give it in such a way and manner as to bring home to individuals, and to groups, the acts that are being carried on in the NAME of that as is set as ideas, OR ideals, by individuals and groups. Also the changes, or the alterings in the present of the religious trend of mind, or that ability to vision from the various activities of groups in this relationship from that experience.
9. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the holy land, or that as was called the land of promise in those days. The entity then among those who gathered in the return of the peoples from those oppressions in the lands that were in the east. Coming again into the land of promise, the entity then among those who followed oft after those of the land from which the entity had come; for the entity had gained something of that that INDUCED those in power to return, or give to those the ability to return to their OWN understanding and way of serving in their respective spheres; yet in the duties as were bound with the groups as came into the land, through the duties of the household, the entity then suppressed much that had been gained by self's development in this heathen land, as was called. Hence the entity GAINED even under suppression, under oppression, by many of those that understood little of the entity's development through this period. Then in the name Natali. In the present, as is seen from the experience, that of an oft halting between two opinions of what the greater duty - that that is of the duty that is of the filial, or of the material conditions in which one finds self, or an adherence to that innate activity of the impelling forces from within. These, as we find, will be greatly influenced in the PRESENT experience by the activities OF the entity IN ITS relationships to individuals, to groups, to classes, TO masses, more in the next three years than has been seen in any experience, either in the present or in the past. Hence the karma has been met BY the entity in the present. Hence the EXPERIENCES of the entity in the coming periods of the present experience the more interesting, the more active in the development OF the entity, the more capable will be the entity to mete out, to call judgement on, to dispense to others that which will be the more uplifting to them in their activities, than has even been in the past.
10. In the one then before this we find in the land now known as the Indian land, and in that portion of same where there were the rebellions of the peoples in the mountain and the peoples in the plain, and there was injected during the period of the entity's experience there those of the teachings of those overrun from the Mongoloid land, bringing those of oppressions to many of the peoples; yet the entity BECAME a leader in this experience, rising above those of the oppressions, either from the hill land or from the influences from those from the northern and eastern land; the entity capable in this experience of bringing something of peace out of those of turmoils and strife, acting in the capacity as the priestess to those peoples in that period. Much of rote, much of rhythm, much of the songs of joy, of praise, was given to the peoples THROUGH the entity's activities through the gathering together of those of the lessons and tenets from the various peoples, as the classes and the groups became more active one with another in their activity; yet OUT of this grew much of that that later - expanded BY individuals - became castes. The entity experienced a development through the greater portion of this experience, in the name Shushatamai. In the present experience the entity finds of interest much of that as was gathered by many of the peoples in that day, yet much of the teachings as were given by the entity are still inscribed in the hearts of individuals in the land that the entity gave much to in that experience. In the present will be seen the entity's influence through and among these peoples will be well, as will be well for the entity - in its activities, and its own development for its own self in the present - to subscribe, inscribe, WITHIN self, in self's activities, much of that as was given to so many BY the entity during that experience.
11. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Poseidan land, and during that period when there were those developments wherein individuals were able to bring into being that as would be called in the present through THOUGHT. The entity again a teacher in this experience, yet lost much - gained much - IN this experience; though those things to which the entity subscribed in that experience were brought on more by the influences of others, the weakness of the entity being in harkening to the voice of those about, rather than having the stamina to carry on in its OWN activity or way. Hence, as may be seen by the comparison of the variations through which the entity has developed or lost, that that BUILDED in the PRESENT will make for the ABILITIES as will carry forward that as is being undertaken in this present experience. In the name Amileecia.
12. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain and how:
13. As is seen, as has been intimated and given, the greater period OF development will be within the next three to five years, when - with the assimilation in self's inner self of that as has been gined through the PREPARATIONS in the past - the entity will be able to give out, by word of mouth, by letter, by those of the writings of the entity, that which will influence those to whom the entity apeals IN a way and manner as it HAS not in the past. Then, that to which it should give itself would be in giving it - the message - in a manner as will be in keeping with those of the continuity of life in Him, the Giver of all GOOD and perfect gifts, as given through the teachers in the earth; for to Him, to His laws, must all come; the nearer we apply same in keeping with same, the greater blessings to self, the greater may be the blessings OF self upon others.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Will the business enterprise which I contemplate entering into for the sake of my daughter prove successful?
    (A) In so far as it is to be a giving of an opportunity of development for others IN their respective fields of activity, the success will come - both physically, materially, financially!
16. (Q) Should I consider making a will?
    (A) In March or April of next year the circumstances, and the changes that will have come, will make better conditions - or better surroundings for the ENTITY, as a whole, to be content and satisfied WITH that as would be made in such a document; not in the present.
17. (Q) Should I advise my daughter to marry a person of great jealous disposition?
    (A) RATHER should the advice BE as to conduct OF the daughter in RELATIONSHIP to individuals that are so constituted, that they may MEET that to which they are to face in a way and manner as to make the most of a condition that would become embarrassing without being forewarned.
18. (Q) Do you find that I ever contacted H. P. B. in a past incarnation?
    (A) More than once!
19. (Q) More often A. B. or H. P. B?
    (A) More often H. P. B. Twice H. P. B., once A. B.
20. We are through for the present.
