In those influences that we find in Mercury, these bring
those MENTAL abilities of the entity, and the adaptability
of the entity to the various experiences through which the
entity may pass. Oftentimes the entity may be misjudged
by others through the ability of the MENTAL forces to give
the entity itself an insight into conditions, surroundings,
individuals, associations, and the like, that is not
perceptible to others - though they may be in the same
environ as the entity. Hence the entity may be often called
peculiar in its likes and dislikes, or the ability to form or
change judgments as respecting individuals' activities under
strain or stress - when others would not see a change or
a variance in individuals' activities in or under such
conditions. Hence the entity - through the mental, through
the Neptune influences, through the Jupiter influences
- is one that would make an excellent psychiatrist, or
psychoanalyst, or one who might aid individuals in making
for themselves those determinate forces that may be ideals in
their lives; yet the entity must be idealistic and have its
OWN ideal, and be governed and directed BY same - or MEASURE
its experiences and its standards for others BY that ideal.
This, then, is an influence that may be used for good or for
bad, dependent upon that which is the ideal. If this is made
that which gives continuity of life itself, of the SPIRITUAL
aspect rather than of the mental or material aspect, then it
may be used for good. The entity may also be said to be one
GIFTED, or endowed, or has BUILDED within the experience,
so that it may read handwriting, or read the physiognomy of
individuals and their expressions - more than the words of
the individuals themselves. This often, though, becomes
confusing to the entity, for the reason that the ideals
of individuals or persons are not ALWAYS the same as the
entity's.
In the appearances and the effect these have had, do have,
upon the present personality and individuality of the entity:
In the one then before this we find in the land of the
present nativity, yet on the opposite side of such lands, and
in that environ known as about Salem, and about those periods
when there were those mis-conceptions, mis-understandings
of individuals' activity as respecting those influences
that motivated the activities of individuals through that
particular period. The entity then among those who were
persecuted for their activities, for the giving of those
influences in the lives of individuals that altered or
changed their mode of life or activity, and OFT was the
entity dipped - and ONCE stocked - for that the entity
carried on. In the name Blake, and there may still be found
some records of the activity of the entity in that experience
about Salem. Especially are these in the basement of the
church in Salem that persecuted those peoples. Hence after
the experience the entity journeyed afar, and innately and
manifestedly have there been in the present those varied
experiences concerning individuals' activities in the
relationships of those who claimed for themselves power;
whether of the layman, of the minister, of the preacher,
or the teacher. EVER does the entity INNATELY, at times
MANIFESTEDLY, QUESTION abilities of those to see, hear,
know, understand, explain, that they CLAIM to believe. Not
that the entity is one that may be termed wishy-washy, or
changeable in its own ideal once set; the entity has in the
present oft changed its ideal, to be sure, but from environ
and circumstance rather than that innately felt.
In the experience then before this (that influences in
the present) we find during those periods in the Grecian
developments, when there were those understandings of the
peoples as respecting the new thought as pertaining to
the gratification of the flesh for the moment, rather than
preparing for that that may be of the unseen, or the active
forces that come from WITHOUT individuals. As the entity
developed through this period, gains came for the entity; for
with the aggrandizing of the innate and selfish motives came
the understandings that that from WITHIN brings rather that
which makes for contentment, than the satisfying of that for
the moment. The entity then BEAUTIFUL of figure, beautiful
of person, and gained many an audience through the ABILITIES
of the entity to attract in this way and manner; yet the
entity used same through the experience to give a better
understanding to those (after it had received same itself),
than in that as it was oft accused of. This brought sorrow
in the latter portion of the experience, yet the entity may
be said to have developed throughout the experience. In the
name Seiyna.
In the experience before this, there in those lands when
those peoples were banished. The entity became the helpmeet
for that guard, or messenger of the priest in that period.
The entity then, though young in years, became a power
through the abilities developed by the entity in that
experience. With the return to the power of the priest and
associates, the entity gradually rose to a place of not only
prominence outwardly, but many of those in the correlating
of the ideas and ideals of the peoples, as to their
relationships one to another, were dependent upon the
activities of the entity in that experience; ESPECIALLY in
the compiling of same to distribute to others that were being
brought under the influence of the teachings of that peoples.
The entity in the name El-Pt-Ar. In this experience the
entity gained in the latter portion of same, losing only in
those periods when sent as a missionary or as an emissary -
in the establishing of those truths in other lands, and the
entity turned many aside by the PHYSICAL attributes rather
than the mental and SPIRITUAL lessons that were taught by
the entity and those the entity represented. In this the
entity failed. In the present there may be seen many of the
abilities of the entity that are innate, that made for the
activities or the experiences of the entity through the
spheres outside of the earth in the developments through
same, and the entrance into the earth's plane as material
manifestations that may be brought to others through
the application of that innately and manifestedly in
the experience of the entity.
In the abilities and that to which it may attain in the
present, and how:
Many and varied are the abilities of the entity. In the
manner of developing them, as expressed, once know its
OWN ideal, irrespective of what others - or conditions, or
circumstances - may bring to bear on same. Then there will
be prepared the way - through that development within self,
and its source of supply from the sources that make for life
and its continuity, through not only the earth but throughout
the spheres of the universe - so that the entity may give
to others that advice, that counsel, that hope, that faith,
that understanding that will make for the staid and staying
influence in their RESPECTIVE sphere of activity. "Judge not
that ye be not judged." The warnings that would come from
the experiences of the entity, and that that may develop in
the physical and the material forces: Beware of contacts
and surroundings that would expose the entity to those things
that would affect the lungs, or physical forces of the body,
or to those that affect the respiratory system in any of its
activities; for the entity is not only super-sensitive in the
physical attributes, but in the mental and spiritual as well.
KNOW in what, in whom, thou believest. KNOW that which is
being manifested within self shows forth that love, that
power, that will keep inviolate the self against all the
fiery darts of the wicked forces that may be set under any
circumstance or experience. Faint not because others accuse,
either falsely or through mis-understandings. Keep thine
own heart pure, thine purposes and aims upright, thy trust,
thy hope, in HIM - who IS the life, the light - who came as
the form, in the form, of the attributes of man, that You -
others - all - MAY have that advocate with the Father, that
is sure - in Him! Ready for questions.
(Q) What were the entity's relations with her present
husband in past incarnations?
(A) One persecuted by the husband, in the appearance before
this. One closely associated and aided in the Egyptian
experience.
(Q) How many appearances prior to the Egyptian has the
entity had? and where?
(A) These, as we find, are quite a few - yet not affecting
materially those influences that may be manifested in the
PRESENT application of that which has been and is builded
in the experience of the entity; for we find in Atlantis -
twice; in that of Lutni [?], or Ohum [?] [Aymaras?], once.
In those of the first EXPERIENCES in the Mongoloid those
would come the nearest, yet these are as visions - NOT as
experiences in the present.
(Q) Have the visions or dreams the entity had on several
occasions been true remembrances of incidents in past
incarnations?
(A) These, as we find, are oft. Remember that promise
that was given, "If I go away, the Spirit of Truth will
come - which will bring to your remembrance all those
things necessary for thine own understanding."
We are through for the present.
