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, and the relation with the Universe and Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. This entity, as we see, has those influences from the position as taken of Mars and Jupiter, with Saturn, Uranus and Mercury. Hence, in the order as given, we find these as personalities exhibited in the present earth's plane, and also these individualities, or latent urges:
4. One, then, who often allows temper to gain the control in such a manner as to bring detrimental conditions to self.
5. One who is trustworthy in every action save when it comes to personal liberties. One who feels at times that people often get the wrong impression and do not understand the body in its actions or its desires. One who has the ability to build much in the present earth's plane, would the body first master self and self indulgences in that of personal pleasures. One that has not the thought of others in the proper proportion to succeed in many undertakings, as has been attempted by the entity.
6. One that may acquire the better use of application to persons than to things.
7. One that would make a fine collector, or one associated with life insurance, or in any kind of business relating to those of individuals, as in that of statistician, or of that as regarding books, WHEN it relates to individuals' actions or of such nature. One that would make a wonderful politician and office holder, PROVIDED self-indulgences did not enter in too much in the application of self, and with the control of self this would be an advantage, for the body, through the ennobling influences in the entity builded by experiences, as we shall see, understands the actions of others better than others understand the action of the entity, see?
8. Then, the conditions as relate to those urges, as individualities:
9. One that is mindful of person in self appearance and impressions made on others, UNLESS it refers to own indulgences, and one that feels that impressions as others gain of self have more to do with the abilities of entity's advancement than of labors expended by self. Wrong impression, see?
10. One who finds the great desire to dress well, especially liking browns and shades of red, see?
11. One that, we find, may develop in the line of understanding those elements of psychology and of such cult, and would be well for entity to apply self to the study of psychology of self and of salesmanship of self to others, see?
12. As to appearances:
13. In the one before this we find in those days when the rule was in that of now Germany, and the entity then in the soldier that charged in the taking of the provinces in France, where the rule was set over the portion taken. Entity then in the name of Chmitt, and the entity then lost much in development, for with the close confinement, as the guard and soldier, there was lost much of self's own dictation, and in the present we find this urge of self, to manifest self's expression, without sufficient regard for other people, see, or the effect same will have on its rebound on self.
14. In the one before this we find in that of the Grecian forces, when the rule was in that of the soldier to the Western World, and the entity then had the rule of many peoples. Hence the innate desire to study the motion, or that force impelling people to do things. Hence that desire to know people rather than things. Then in the name of Zexiae, and the entity then had the first of the colonization forces as was seen in the Southern portion of the present country, in which the entity now lives.
15. The one before this, we find in the present country, in that of the Western Country, now in the New Mexico country. Then in the name of Oronh, and the entity then in one that delved much into the drawings as pertained to the expression of the country and the peoples, in attempting to learn of places and conditions. Hence the innate forces of entity to be able to gain a little knowledge and spread it over much territory, or one of large imagination, often to self's undoing, when Mars' forces apply in life.
16. Then, the abilities of entity lie in that as given. FIRST in applying the psychology of self and of salesmanship of self to others. THEN under the tutelage of one in power of the office, whether in insurance or statistics, the entity would gain the greater forces in the present physical plane.
17. Let entity, then, see in this application these lessons: That which entity accomplishes, does, MUST BE MET, and the correct manner then is to first find that force as applies to self, and the creative forces in life and in death, and apply the same principles in daily living, for the entity will bring the better self in the present plane with this as the criterion of the success needed: SERVICE TO OTHERS IS THE HIGHEST SERVICE TO GOD.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/28/25 Wife [4622]'s letter: "...Would you give a reading regarding the correct vocation for my husband to follow, as it seems that every line he tries and tries hard, turns out unsuccessfully, making him very discouraged. I thought if you could give a vocational reading for him we would greatly appreciate it and I am sure it would help him as well as the physical reading has done..."

REPORTS

1. 12/02/25 Letter from friend, George LaBryn: "...I read your copy of horoscope reading on [4621]. So far as I can say from the limited acquaintance it seems to fit him pretty well, and I would say it was correct. As to his ability as a salesman, which the reading says he would succeed in, cannot say. He is at present a steam fitter or, rather runs pipes through buildings for sprinkler service in case of fire.
   "I happened to call on them a few nights ago and we talked of your readings. His mother-in-law stated that since his health reading, given some time ago, that he remarked he never felt better in his life. They got these readings on my recommendation and are responsible for at least fifteen more readings you have given. All seem to be well pleased with your diagnosis..."
