In the entrance into the earth's plane, we find the entity
comes under the influence of Scorpio, Leo, and of Jupiter,
Uranus, Mercury, and of Venus. Hence we find there are many
contrariwise influences, as it were, in the influence in the
present earth's plane - that is, many influences that, just
when the entity would succeed in the physical plane, or in a
physical manner, or in a material or financial manner, or in
a social manner, or in social position, or in gaining for
self fame, or in winning those things that come through the
earthly influences, there seems to step in that something
preventing the entity gaining the full benefits from same.
Hence we find a life full of disappointments in many ways,
yet those conditions that have to do with that benevolent
influence in Jupiter, those eccentricities as have to do with
those in Uranus, and those beloving influences as we find
through that of Venus, often act as the saving grace, or day,
as it were, for the entity.
Then, as to that personality as is exhibited in the present
earth's plane:
One who holds every influence in the highest order.
One that brings much good to many.
One that is over true to friends, and may be ever counted
upon to do that which is right and just in the eyes of all.
Never belittling self, then, in any manner, save when
seemingly bad judgement is taken, rather than the will to do
that error.
In the influence, then, of Scorpio and of Leo, we find with
those of Mercury, one of strong heart, strong willed, yet
often weakened by bodily afflictions, and by accidents of the
minor nature.
One, however, who will have many days in the present earth's
plane, for the influences in the life, and the experiences in
the present life, are such that will bring many days of
usefulness, will the entity apply that knowledge as is being
gained day by day.
As to the personal influence, irrespective of the will:
One we find of high mental character - one whose abilities in
any field of endeavor requiring mental forces will succeed,
yet the weaknesses in the flesh body often seem to hinder.
One who will find that there will come changes to the body in
the present year. Being under the influence of Uranus and
Jupiter, there will appear this change - these conditions, or
those set about that will offer these changes, and be well
for the entity to accept, about the 15th to 20th of October,
in the present year.
As to those appearances, and the urges as are seen from same.
In the one before this we find during that period in the
settling of this present country. The entity among those who
first landed in that country now known as Massachusetts, and
among those called the Puritans. Then in the name John Dain,
and the entity gained in that period, through the service
rendered to others, and through the application of self to
the building in body, in mind, in the structures for the body
and for the mind, as the entity endured during that period
much suffering. The urge as is seen from this - that of the
natural builder, especially in those of mechanical natures -
the love for those conditions that apply to nature, in its
ability to give to man material benefits in that of those
that act as aids to man's influence.
In the one before this we find in that country now known as
England, and the entity among those who studied in the
monasteries, and in that capacity the entity both gained and
lost, for coming under the influence of those chemical
changes, as were wrought in the study in these channels, the
entity allowed the desires and weaknesses of the flesh to
overcome the better knowledge, and will's force became lost
and submerged to those conditions as are heir of flesh
conditions. In the urge then as is seen from this - the
skepticism in many ways as pertaining to religious cults that
would give aid, either to body or to mind. Not that the
entity is a skeptic, or that the entity adverse to religious
influence, yet the air of looking askant at any condition
offering too much is ever questionable in the entity's
inmost being.
In the one before this we find in the days when the walls of
the Holy City being rebuilt. The entity then among those who
labored on the walls of same. Then in the name Hoseah, and
the entity gave much then to the peoples in the manner of
teaching and of keeping those precepts as were set about as
the tenets of the people in this rebuilding. The entity
gained through that period in giving of self in body and in
mind to others. The urge as is seen in the same is that
again of the builder, for the entity would have made in the
present experience a wonderful architect or civil engineer.
In the one before this we find in that period when the
divisions were in that land now known as Egypt, in that of
Church and State, as would be termed in the present day. The
entity then among those who acted as the scribe, and assisted
in the records as were kept during those periods, and many of
that called hieroglyphics may be yet seen in the land as
prepared by the entity. Then in the name Ahaiar, and the
entity gained in that period, being in that position of the
record keeper for conditions then being happenings, the
entity gained in truth of the record as kept, wavering
neither to the right nor the left during that troublesome
period as was to the then known world. In the urge as is
seen from same is that of the necessity of every condition or
act in which the entity has hand to be correct, as far as is
possible through mind or hand.
As to the present abilities, and that to which the entity may
attain, there is seen there are many fields, and the change,
as is seen, will be offered to the entity in the present
year. In the application of will's force lies the
development. As is seen, service to others, and the greater
service is rendered to self through serving others, in body,
in mind, for in service to fellow man is lending to the Lord.
Keep thy paths straight. Direct thy footsteps in Him, for in
Him is Truth, and the Truth maketh none afraid.
We are through for the present.
