One that finds within self that constant urge to delve deeper
into the impelling forces of good and evil, or one away from
development and that toward development. This meaning that
an entity in the first cause is a portion of the universal
whole; hence has its only - and wholly its own - peculiar
niche to fill in that universe. That carried in the plane
of the first cause or universal energy called God is at an
at-oneness with the first cause in the way of self's own
purpose, irrespective of others - or the first cause is away
FROM that fulfillment of that individual place each entity
must fill. Then, reasoning within self, the entity finds
self at variance with others' opinion of self and self's
own opinion of self. Hence there come, then, many combative
influences in the life. Especially have these come since
the influence of Uranus with that of Mars and Saturn in the
last five years, which have brought much of these unstable,
unsatisfactory, undevisable plans and conditions within the
life of the entity. That influence then in Jupiter having
been the stabilizing influence. There will be seen that in
the present year, with the benevolent influence of Jupiter
with Venus and Neptune, these will be turned into channels
that, with will's forces applied in that direction of making
self WITH the at-oneness of the universal forces, will bring
power of mind, body, and of the entity or soul itself towards
that of the up-building, rather than of destructive forces
within the life of the entity.
One especially adapted or turned towards figures, especially
those that have to do with those of the mental and the
circumference of things. Hence once a thing is understood
by the entity, the full scope of that thing or that condition
is understood by the entity. One not so easily discerning
the variations in influences, for to the entity a condition
is or is not, and this being rather the emphatic side of
the influences in the life has at times led the entity to
misjudge others in their intent towards self and towards
others. Apply in such conditions rather that rule of,
"What would I do in the same circumstance and condition?"
In the influences that may be builded from that of Uranus,
Neptune and Jupiter, we find then that all phases of
occult, psychic, or of benevolent influences, are especially
interesting to the mind of the entity. Keep self well
balanced in will's application towards such, that there
may not come unstableness in the application of the laws
pertaining to occult science or occult-ism, psychic phenomena
or psychic influence; for while these are the ruling powers
in an entity's experience, these may be applied to one's own
undoing unless kept in the way that the whole is viewed by
any application, rather than a portion; for each individual,
every entity, has its influence, and is the sum total of its
experiences as reflected by ITS (the entity's) concept of the
first cause. Get that!
One that is especially interested in architectural influences
in the lives of individuals, as well as architectural
building for their benefit to individuals.
One that loves the outdoors rather than being shut up.
One that dislikes disloyalty in any form.
One that adheres close to the truth as understood by self,
and rarely does the entity exaggerate a truth or an untruth.
As to the appearances, we find these all have their influence
- for they are as but one life.
In the one before this we find near the same lands where the
entity entered the earth's plane in this experience. The
entity then in the name Ingram, and the entity among those
that gave assistance to Stuyvesant as lands were laid out
to be sold to other settlers, and the entity gained and lost
through this experience. Gained in the service given to
others. Losing in that the entity allowed those that would
come in and offer such rewards for belittling some of the
measurements made. Hence we find from these influences
an urge towards that of the engineer, or surveyor, or one
making line upon line; yet not ever wholly satisfied with the
results as are obtained through same, distrusting many that
are associated in same. Hence these are as influences,
rather than as callings or as elements through which the
entity may even gain; for the experience not well, and the
entity may gain from other urges the more.
In the one before this we find in that period when there were
being the walls of the city rebuilded. The entity then among
those who builded, working on the east gate. The entity the
soldier and the builder. Also the educator or director in
the law. Then in the name Ithica, giving much understanding,
defending many of those oppressed, assisting in the
rebuilding and the re-establishing of the worship. The
entity finds from this urge (for this was building) that
there is ever innate within self the love for the home,
the sacred things of home, the sacred things of church,
the sacred things of state. These are as innate, and upon
which much may be builded. The love of brotherhood and of
the association with those of orders, groups, or of that
fellowship that comes with same.
In the one before this we find in that period when
the divisions arose in the land now known as Egyptian.
The entity then among those who gave the laws - the
interpretation of same - to the peoples, both of the native
and of those that had conquered the country; being then
the interpreter for the king and the priest - following
the priest in exile, yet coming again in power through the
abilities of being almost INDISPENSABLE to those who would
interpret that as written by the scribes or given by the
counsellors. Hence we find that urge of the study of those
things pertaining to law, as appertains to the spiritual
relationship to the mental and the physical. Not as material
laws; not as mental laws; not as spiritual alone - but as
the ability of man to apply same in the life as to make the
most OF life, mentally, physically, spiritually. Hence the
abilities should lie in that of first understanding the law
and then teaching same to others, and in the building up
of that brotherhood, that relationship wherein all may come
to the more perfect knowledge of man's relationship to the
creative forces and the creative forces' relation to man,
individually. Through these same forces comes that of the
psychic abilities of the entity to apply law, for that is the
word psychic in its inmost meaning - understanding the hidden
forces of mental and spiritual law in its relation to men's
response to same, as applied in individual lives.
Then, first find self in that way of making an application
of the truths as set forth in Him, for in Him is the light
and the light is the light of the world, shining into dark
places; for He came into the world that man might know there
was an advocate with the Father, the Creative Energy, and
that through that faith, that hope, that applying of self
in that manner, in that service to others, the closest
relationship come with the Energy, the Father. Ready
for questions.
(Q) What line of work should the body go into at the present
to best prepare him for the other work?
(A) The study of self and of self's relationship to the
creative energies as they apply to man, or the study of
phenomena in all of its phases. Through same comes power,
understanding, abilities to meet the conditions as they
arise that are called material. Start! Begin! Commence!
We are through.
