In Venus we find the abilities to visualize, picture, or
describe for others, things, conditions, emotions - whether
the emotions are from a father or mother beholding their
offspring for the first time, or the connoisseur tasting his
liquor, or the bird intent upon its care and feeding of its
young, or color as it may take tone in the sunset or the
sunrise - though the tendency is to see it set much more
often than to watch it rise! These, then, are inclinations,
tendencies, to use those energies towards the application of
visualizing, picturing those things that are creative,
constructive, purposeful. These should be the trend for the
activities of the entity.
In Jupiter we find the benevolent experiences or feelings, or
emotions. And these, too, may be experienced mentally. In
Uranus we find that the entity may be very magnanimous in
some experience and then as hard as flint in another, or
variable even to that of pessimism or criticism. Then the
entity could be and is a good critic, but would you wish
others to criticize you? That is the attitude, the tendency.
Interest in things of the occult is also indicated from
Uranus.
These, then, are the emotions latent and manifested in the
personality and individuality of the entity.
As to appearances in the earth plane, these we find quite
varied; but these are the tendencies or purposes indicated
from the varied experiences:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present
nativity during the reconstruction period after the
Revolution.
The entity then in the name of William Cowann, was a
journalist, a writer of stories, an interpreter of new
experiences in the lives of individuals making contributions
to the creating of conveniences for others.
Thus the abilities of the entity to visualize, depict, or
portray activities of certain groups, certain sects of
people, or those activities pertaining to the relationships
to creative or speculative activities, or for the advancement
toward a universal brotherhood.
Before that the entity was active in the period when the
Master walked in the earth.
There the entity was among those who carried messages back
and forth to the various groups that were seeking to
persecute the Master, as well as being in closer touch with
those groups that were the closer in accord with the entity's
activities and with the Master's activity.
Then the entity was among those who were personal friends to
Lazarus, whom the Master raised from the dead. The entity
then was inconsistent, until the experience of seeing his
friend again return to his place in relationships not only
with the family but with the friends round about.
The entity was among those who started the first stories as
to the experiences of Lazarus during the four days in the
tomb. But with the teachings that arose after the Master's
resurrection, there came changes in the experience of the
entity.
Thus the abilities to tell unusual stories, of unusual
happenings, yet never as a correspondent, but as one
contributing to the classics as well as certain types of
magazines that may depict experiences in out-of-the-way
places of the earth. These would be well for the entity to
use as the basis or background for a series of stories
pertaining to such.
The name then was Thardal.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those
periods when there were preparations for the relationships to
be established with other lands, when there were preparations
for individuals to become emissaries, teacher or
representatives of the land.
The entity was among those who were trained to become
diplomats in other lands.
Thus those things of the orient, things pertaining to
out-of-the-way places are of special interest to the entity -
but the abilities to gain and to show rather the experiences
of others to become a helpful influence in people half way to
all the way around the earth.
The name then was At-el-arn.
As to the abilities of the entity, the patterns that have
been and are a part of those influences in and through which
the entity has been a contributor to the thought, beliefs,
tenets, teachings of men through the earth, are those that
have been chosen and given here.
Then, do apply self in this field of activity, in which the
entity may excel in many way and manners.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should I give up my present employment?
(A) Begin in the present employment.
(Q) What is the meaning of the dark aspects in my horoscope?
(A) These are tendencies for the warnings that have been
indicated, that there are those virtues and vices. Hence the
need for the ideals to be set in creative forces. Whose is
the earth? Then keep the ideals in the correct way and
manner, and shadowy expectations should be eliminated by the
truth and of life itself.
We are through with this reading.

them. This information no doubt will be included in the
