In interpreting the records we find many phases of life, the
high emotional natures, the abilities to sway or to control
people by the very manner, even, of its activities, of its
words, of its moods. These indicate the emotional nature,
even those abilities for the entity to flare-up at times, and
again appear as meek or as cowarded. Do not let the spirit
of the entity be broken, but do direct same into the
purposefulness in everything it does, whether in obedience to
a direction or in its relationships with others in a social
manner, with its playmates, or in its dealing with others.
Let these be purposeful. For, these will then lay the
greater foundation for the real life's work of the entity, in
persuading, in swaying, in changing, in directing the thought
of many - of groups or the like.
For, as we find, - as will be seen in analyzing the
experiences in the earth, - a great deal of helpful influence
may be exercised by the entity in the experiences of groups
and the like, as a reader, as a lecturer.
These activities - as well the home and home building, the
expressing of itself in theatre or as an actress, or as an
active influence in the directing of same - may be parts of
the experience.
But, as we would choose, the greater direction should be in
that capacity as an expression teacher, dramatic art teacher,
a reader, a lecturer. This is the greater field of service.
Astrologically, - these are not in keeping with what
ordinarily would be termed astrological influences or
directions. While there may at times come those experiences
when there may be trials and hardships in the entity's life,
if these are directed or prompted by the activities from the
spiritual impressions, these will become rather
stepping-stones than stumbling-stones in the experience.
In Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus we find the greater
activities. The Moon is only a portion of the experience,
but it gives the greater emotion.
We find in Mars that there must be activeness, but these are
limited by those influences from the Jupiterian and Uranian
experiences. Thus the extremes that may arise in the
experience, the beauty, the love of music, the love of art,
the love of artistic temperaments, - both from Venus and
Uranus.
As to the sojourns in the earth, - not all will be indicated
here at the present time. When the entity has reached the
age of twelve, then there might be given more of those
influences which at that period will be exercised more in the
Mercurian and Venus force - as for the greater choice. But
these we would direct as parts of the experience, indicating
something of the characteristics indicated by the experiences
of dreams or visions that will be a part of the entity:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity, during the early settlings.
There the entity was one gifted with a beautiful voice, such
that the mad, the vindictive, were controlled by the sound,
the music, the attitude, the actions of the entity - though
in that wild land.
Hence we will find that the entity oft hums to itself, even
in this early period of its development; harking back to
those things having to do with outdoors and nature's forces,
the love of peculiar or unusual flowers - though the entity
then was not long in the earth's experience, meeting a tragic
passing - as would be called.
Then the name was Ethel Dunning, and the activities brought
unusual experiences to many - because of the very nature of
its girlhood activities in those lands now known as the
Mohawk valley.
Before that the entity was in the Holy Land, during those
periods when the Master walked in the earth - and with the
activities in Bethsaida.
The entity was among the children of one of the disciples of
the Master. The entity was blessed by the Master, being
acquainted with many of those activities, and knew of those
activities - as a child talking with the Way, the Truth and
the Light.
This has brought the veracity of the LIGHT that may be seen,
or even felt, by those that observe the entity when it is at
play, or when it thinks or acts on its own intuitive forces,
even in its early period of unfoldment.
From those experiences as the daughter of Andrew, we may find
the entity harking to that which to the entity will be as the
singing of the angels; yet it will bring sadness and joy,
happiness and sorrow, when those stories are told. And these
should be told often to the entity, as to what it meant to
the children of that day to bask in the presence of the
Master, and how it may be attained and felt in the present
experience.
For His promises are sure, "If ye seek me, I stand at the
door and knock." Not that this is to become a longfacedness,
but the happiness - as well as the sorrow, the appreciation
of correct emphasis upon all phases of the experience should
be that outlined.
The name then was Dora.
Before that the entity was in the Promised Land when there
was the experience of Jephtha's daughter, with the return of
the father as the leader of the groups that defended the
right.
The entity then was a companion of Jephtha's daughter. Thus
the sorrow that came. Thus the joy that came from a rash
vow.
Thus, it is necessary that there be consideration by those
directing, controlling the unfoldment of this entity's mind,
as to rash promises, rash vows, and the stress be put in the
sincerity of purpose, truthfulness of ideals - that must be
founded, for the entity, in the promises of the Christ.
The name then was Leieh.
In that experience the entity had sorrow brought by the
sacrifice of its best friend. Thus a portion of the life was
clouded. Not so in the present, if the purposes and ideals
are set correctly for the entity.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there
were the preparations of individuals in the Temple Beautiful
for service, and for that which the entity will fulfil to the
greater extent in the present: the persuasion through
appealing to the higher influences in the hearts and minds of
others, for their care, their thought of their fellow man.
Thus as the lecturer (as the entity became there), as one
that may carry a message through its reading or reciting of
the activities of that nature, the entity may bring the
greater blessings to self and to others.
The name then was Nei-Leneth.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to
which it may attain, and how:
Much, as we have indicated, depends upon the early
impressions, and the abilities for the entity to speak or
talk for itself. Not that these are to be exaggerated, or
built on, but do not submerge the imaginations of the entity
in its vision. Rather encourage, and DO train the entity in
those directions indicated; DO retain in writing those
experiences, for they will mean much when the abilities of
the entity begin to unfold in its teen age, when more
information concerning these may be given the entity.
Ready for questions.
(A) [Left out of original copy] Thru astrology and
palmistry she seems fated to lose her father easily. How
will this be and when, or is it untrue?
(A) As we have indicated, that may appear - but astrology
and palmistry are only indications. What caused the loss of
the father, or the self to the father, in the experience
before? RASHNESS!
Then, let ALL keep their head, keep cool - even in those
periods of disturbance.
We are through for the present.
