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 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 to that which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present manifestations in the earth's plane, with those urges as are latent and exhibited through the sojourn in the earth's plane, with the urge exhibited and latent in the present sojourn, and those abilities of the entity, that to which it may attain, and how.
3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find the entity comes under the influence of Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, with Uranus and Neptune in the ascendency and Mars and Saturn in adverse influence. Hence we find one, irrespective of the will's force, which is the developing factor in this and other individuals, as entities, in the earth's plane, one with a LOVABLE disposition, ever being honorable in every respect.
4. One that loves a joke.
5. One that is sly in some respects, shy among the ladies, yet ever active and loving in every way.
6. One that brings much joy and happiness to many through the many little acts of kindness, for the disposition and the intent is as one that would serve, and thoughtfulness of others being that which makes this entity loved by others.
7. One that shows little selfishness in its make-up, yet there are times when this condition brings consternation to the entity, for being free with self, expecting freeness from others and being disappointed, is ever disappointing to this entity, making same hard to be understood by such a disposition.
8. One that will find that the field of finance and of banking, especially, will be the greater scope of development, financially, materially, and lend that which the entity may use to serve others.
9. One that is of that turn that loves the spiritual and the occult, and is ever seeking to gain some insight into the mysterious.
10. One that will find much pleasure and much profit in the study of the occult, rather than of mysticism, or of that termed spiritualism, for SPIRITUALITY is a REALITY, and spiritualism is rather the ISM.
11. One that finds much pleasure in reading, especially in study of any force not understood by the entity from the natural or from the seen forces.
12. In the appearances (for these we find are many):
13. The entity in the one before this in that of the explorer of the canyons of the Rio Grande. Then in the name Don Juian, and the entity then developed and lost in that experience, for in the accumulation of much gold, by the findings in the canyons, the entity let self-aggrandizement overrule the better self and the subservient forces, through bringing death to innocent, brought destructive forces in the influence of the entity. The urges as are seen from this experience - that of the love to own firearms, yet ever the fear to have same in the hands of others about the entity, yet the love of outdoor seems ever calling, as does hills and mountains.
14. In the one before this we find in those that came in the settlement of the country in the western portion of the country in which the entity sojourns. Then in the name of Loepez. The entity then the builder of those first shacks as were known in that country now called New Mexico, and the entity gained through that sojourn by the help and aid and counsel given to others, acting in the latter portion of that sojourn as father confessor to those peoples about the entity. In the urges from this is seen the love of a religious ritual, and especial interest in the red man.
15. In the one before this we find in the day of the insurrection in that country now known as Spain. The entity then among those who defended the land against those peoples coming in from the isles of the sea. Then in the name Ibael, and the entity both gained and lost through that experience, for in the defense there came that desire for revenge that was never curbed through the will forces of the entity. In the urges as are seen - that ever desire to be right, and ever ready to defend that principle or stand as is taken by the entity.
16. In the one before this in the land now known as the East Indian. The entity then in that land where the dwellers of the hills came into the valleys for the grain of that country, and the entity then the ruler and the keeper of that known as exchange for those of the land, and the entity gained through that experience in the earth's plane, for in the counsel and in the treatment of the peoples were brought together under the influence of the entity's actions one towards another, and much of the brotherly love was shown, and peoples of the land drawn closer together under the guidance and through the efforts of the entity, and in the present day the greater influences are seen in the entity's life from this experience, for the mediums of exchange become the entity's work, the entity's labors, the entity's thoughts, the entity's inmost study. Hence banking and that of the kindred cults become the entity's work in the present plane. In the name in this period - Gbdlid, and:
17. In the one before this we find in the land then known as the Atlantean country. The entity then in that of the ruler who brought much pomp, much power, much development in many ways to that land, for the highest state of the development towards that called civilization was begun under the entity's rule in that period, and the entity in the name Islam, and the entity gained in counsel to the peoples. The urge as is seen - ever ready to act as mediator between individuals who find fault one with another.
18. In the one before this in the days when the sons came together in the first of the morning light by the earth's sun. The entity then among those who gathered as worshipers to the sun, and in the name then Hoi, and the entity gained and lost, for just in the beginning of service counsel against the entity's first action brought the end.
19. In the abilities, then, as are seen, the entity will gain through study of the occult and through service to others in every channel, especially in that of banking and of kindred cults. In the days, the entity will find that in the twenty sixth (26th) year will come the greater change. The weeks and the months and the years will be many in the present earth's plane, will the entity but apply self in service to Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, for in Him is light, and the light shineth unto the end.
20. We are through for the present.
