GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the
Universe, and Universal Forces, giving the conditions that
are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present
life; also the former appearances in the earth'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. Your will also answer the questions
regarding same that I will ask you.
EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with
the Universe and Universal Forces, as are exhibited and as
latent in the present experience.
In entering, we find the entity coming under those sojourned
influences in Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Uranus. In the
benevolent influences, many of those conditions and elements
through which the experiences have been passed come to the
aid of the entity. Hence we will find one that will rise
from seemingly low position, and uncomely surroundings in
many conditions, to places of high position and high estate.
Much moneys, much of the worldly conditions, will be brought
round, and the entity will come into those experiences of
prominence, socially and financially. Use same aright!
In the influences as are seen in the present experience, and
in those conditions as are as personalities in the present
surroundings:
We find one that is affable, lovable; yet MAKING enemies
where there is no need of same being made.
One that has many of those elements that go to make up a full
life.
One that means much to many.
One that is dependable, and one upon whom many depend,
seeking the entity for counsel and for advice.
One that may use same aright, or may give that which
will bring - in times and times to come - that which
will rebound to its own undoing.
Well, then, that THESE be set as the first principles in the
heart and in the mind of this entity:
Seek the Lord while He may be found, and while the evil
day cometh not, and when thou art old thy children will not
forsake thee, and thou wilt not beg for bread; for though
many of those conditions that go to make the full life are
before thee, in brilliant places, and in wide halls, and in
splendor shalt thou be called; yet the heart may not be kept
aright unless founded upon Him who GAVE the light, life, and
all that is within.
As to the appearances in the earth's plane, and the
influences these bear upon the present experience:
In the one before this we find in that period when there was
much change being made in the position of the French rules,
and there were many of those chosen as the aide and as the
courtier to the kings of the day. The entity then among
those favored, and in the name of Viodal, changing to one of
that which bore the greater power in that period, and as yet
bears much power in the influence in social, and in the light
of the peoples who study such elements. In the urge as is
seen in the present, that desire to be in the position
wherein others may be dependent and may depend upon the
entity. Not only in position, but in mental abilities.
In the one before this we find in that period when there was
much change being wrought in the land of the Tyrians, and
the entity then among those who led in the rebellion against
those that would bring in others from the lands above for the
places of position in the court. Then in the name Ceynia.
The entity gained through this period, through the ability
to give aid and succor to many, and though the entity brought
much suffering, much sorrow physically upon self, yet the
urge as is seen is the ability to set self in that place
wherein much may be expected, and much may be depended
upon, from the efforts of the entity.
In the one before this we find in that day when the first
peoples came into the south country of that now known as the
Persian. The entity then among the leaders of that period,
and in the household of the one setting up the new kingship,
and became the head of those that worshiped in set places.
Then afterward known as those of the Aryans, and of the
Chaldeans, and the entity then in the name Aioa, and the
entity gained and lost. Gaining through the many benefits as
were brought to the peoples. Losing in setting self as one
to be worshipped. In the urge is seen the ability to apply
self in ANY direction the entity may choose.
As to the abilities and the application, much will be
expected of the entity; for, as given, there comes power,
place, position, through an unexpected source - for many
are gathered in places that bring, as it were, seemingly
unmerited conditions to the entity. Study that given, and
there will be seen there needs again that opportunity for the
entity to manifest that as has been merited in the earth's
experience.
Keep thine heart and thine body CLEAN! Do that which thou
hast in hand today, for tomorrow another day dawns for thee!
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will it be advisable for me to enter into matrimony with
the young man to whom I am now engaged [
5584]?
(A) No!
(Q) Am I in my right environment in the business world,
doing the right sort of work - or would it be better to
take up a different career?
(A) Do that thou hast in hand! Careers and life are coming
to thee!
We are through for the present.
