TEXT

1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earths's plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity and those universal forces as are and may be manifested in and through the individual in the earth's plane. In this we find the appearances having much to do with the present personality as is latent and exhibited in the present earth entity.
3. In this present, we find the position as being taken from that of Jupiter, with the influences of Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and adverse influences in Mars. Hence the care necessary in the environment in physical as is set for the individual in the present earth's plane, for we find the inclinations, though coming under the ennobling influence in Jupiter, with the mysterious influences in Neptune, will bring, with the adverse forces in Mars, many contradictory conditions in the action of the individual. The desire for the surroundings of water, and the adverse influences as is found in fire and firearms, will bring, with the high-strung temperament of the body, both influence of accidents and of fevers.
4. Then, the greater influence will, in the present earth plane, come in the training of the entity to the point of controlling self. While we have the artistic temperament, with love for weird music and of the weird conditions; hence the will's development in the line necessary to use rather than abuse the conditions these urges bring to the individual entity.
5. One who finds much in the ennobling strength of physical condition in mind and body, yet one who may use same to the detriment of the physical and mental and spiritual, in the adverse conditions as may be presented at times.
6. The special urge is then toward the musical and the weird conditions in physical life in the extreme.
7. As to the appearances:
8. In the one before this we find in the early settling of the country near where the body was born. The entity [was] a defender of the Fort in and near the same surroundings, as a soldier in the forces in defense and in the name of Lyman Wyrick, and the development in that condition being in the adverse, for the being taken as hostage brought much physical strain and suffering to the body at that time, without the inner influence necessary to back-up under such. The urge as is brought in the present, in that line of seeing and desiring to experience those influences of seeing suffering in lower creatures. This would be well to be turned into channels that will bring assistance rather than the seeking for expression of this nature, as would be builded by the constant thought on such subjects.
9. In the one before this we find in the rule when the French (now known) were beginning to throw off the yoke of Louis the 16th, and the entity the defender of the royalty and the entity then developed in the earth plane, yet ever subservient to the higher opinion of others. Hence in the present we find the urge of the love of nobility and of those capable of doing high and mighty deeds of valor. This be well to encourage when taken in the channel that RIGHT and not MIGHT should be the rule in the physical world.
10. In the one before this we find in the Grecian forces when they set out to subdue the peoples in the western portion of now Turkey. Then in the armies as soldiers under the ruler who gave much of his learning to the world. The entity then in the name Xenzlop and an intimate associate of that ruler of warrior who became the power in the land. Under this ruler's or warrior's desire to assist, the entity gained much in that sphere, and in the present we find the urge and the exceptional forces as may be developed in the right and in the wrong channels, through environment and mode of finding expression of those thoughts that come through environmental conditions.
11. In the one before this we find in the plains country of now Northern and Western Arizona, when the peoples were ruling in that land by the rule or settling from the Atlantean country. The entity then in that of Arzud and the one in whose the settlement was left in charge of, and who ruled with the iron hand after the dissolution of the peoples who attempted to make this settlement. The entity gaining from this the desire as is felt to make might the right, or by force, yet in the ennobling influences often regretting the conditions as produced.
12. Then, to use the urges as we find, use the development in the channel wherein the entity gains the first understanding of self and its relation to its Creator and submerging the desire for self-aggrandizement to that of service to all, keeping in the channel wherein the musical and the art talents may be developed, and the entity will find the highest service to man through these channels.
13. We are through for the present.
