-
EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present entity, [1741].
-
In entering the present experience, we have the entity coming under the influence of Uranus and Venus, Jupiter and Mercury. Hence those conditions as personalities, manifestedly builded in the present entity:
-
One high minded, yet the tempered thought and experience influenced by those of an occult or mystic nature; love ruling in the influences of the entity, and in the scope of mental abilities these take - especially interest - are influenced by those of the love’s influence, rather than of MATERIAL conditions, yet material forces are apparent in the influences that bring such changes in the experience of the entity, as has made for that as builds for patience, long suffering, kindness, endurance, tolerance and brotherly love, faith, hope, charity to all. These are as the children of the entity’s development, making for those influences as build in the present experience, as develops - which, when grown and manifested in the material actions of the body, bring that pleasing, patient personality as is manifested - especially with those whom the entity WOULD influence; using then those armors that are rather of the nature of disarming to those that would be in a hurry, in a bluster. Not that wrath does not present itself, but rather that the influences through the EXPERIENCES has brought that as develops the control, rather than being controlled by such for the entity.
-
One appreciative of literature, especially those of the descriptive nature of the outdoors and the influence that same has upon those that experience - either in reading or in actuality - such visions, such surroundings, such scenes. Patient in that of study, especially as bear an influence towards those things that bespeak of the spiritual life. While in the entity’s development there are set rules for self, tolerance in others brings a BEAUTY to the entity’s speech and activity that draws - rather than repels - the influence of the entity. In the appreciativeness of kindnesses, soft words, gentleness, the entity may be called one as excels; making friends easily, enemies seldom; holding little grudges, yet POSITIVE in its ideals, in its ideas as to the approach to ideals.
-
One that is handy, or a handmaid in the arts of sewing, mending, or gathering together of the studies of such, and especially as brocades or laces, figures in cloth, interest the entity.
-
In the development, or that to which it may attain in the present, rather the application of that as has been set before self - for WELL has the way been chosen. Many depend PHYSICALLY upon, depend MENTALLY upon, the activities of the entity. Be true to the duties set by self. Know that the way made is in keeping with the ideal set before self.
-
In appearances and the influences in the present experience:
-
In the one before this we find the entity among those who sat by the river, as the gatherings on the feast days, and listened to the speech and the exhortation by those who gave a new message from the foreign land to the women of Thyatira and Sidon, for the entity was then a seller of lace, purple brocade and linens, and in the CITY as of Lystra did the entity dwell - a maiden throughout the experience, and the entity gained through this experience, for much as was gained in the service set - and in the applications of the new rule or ideal as was given in this experience - did the entity apply and use in that experience. In the name Lystia. In the present, that of the aide, the teacher, the succor, the minister to the needs, the wants, of those dependent upon the activities of another, does the entity seek to find expression in that held within self’s own heart.
-
In the one before this we find in that land known as the Egyptian land, and in the days when there were the incoming of the peoples from the hill country did the entity attempt to cause those in authority to rebel; yet in the changes as were wrought - for the entity was then among those of the royalty of that period or land, in the household of the ruler in the southern portion of the land - the entity lost and gained through the experience; being then in that place that gave TO the land a teacher, through the body that afterward became a mighty one in word, in deed, and in activity. In the name Io-Li. In the present experience this gives the entity that ability to control self, even when those conditions that are held as imperative are overridden by others in position, power or place.
-
In the one before this we find in the land known as the Poseidan, or a portion of the old Atlantean. In this period the entity found much of those that pertained to the mysteries of nature, in the application of unseen forces, in the usages of same for man’s indwelling, and man’s physical dwelling. Hence much that is of the mystic, symbol, symbolistic, or of that as brings to the varied consciousnesses of an entity, does the entity often dwell upon; being mindful that those that are of the chemical, or chemical combines in the present, does not gain a hold that may not easily be set aside. In the name Ameer.
-
In the abilities of the entity in the present, as given, these may be made to excel - and the entity may so apply those tenets as have been set before self, in its ministration to those that are about the entity, that no return would be necessary in THIS experience or plane; for in HIM is the light, and the light came among men, showing men the way to find that consciousness in SELF - for the KINGDOM is of WITHIN, and when self is made one WITH those forces there may be the accord as is necessary for “Come up higher. Being faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many”.

We are through.

R1. 10/15/30 GD’s letter to [1741]:
Miss [1741] % Mrs. [1732] New York City
Dear Miss [1741]
You have waited a long time for your life reading [Since 3/18/30 when she and Mr. [1734] requested it], but you will see that it was well worth waiting for. It certainly is a BEAUTIFUL reading, and I just hope you will be pleased with it. You must be almost an angel. I’m sorry we didn’t see more of you while you were here. Please write us what you think of the reading. We thought it was so good that Mr. Cayce read it and discussed it with us afterwards - Mrs. Cayce and me. It is very unusual for him to even read them.
I trust you are feeling just fine, and that all the [1734] family are getting along nicely.
With kindest personal regards and best wishes from all here, and hoping to hear from you in the near future, I am
Sincerely, [signed] Gladys Davis
R2. 10/21/30 [1741]‘s letter to GD:
My dear Miss Davis,
Thanks very much for your personal note which accompanied the reading.
Yes, the latter is beautiful. Providence has & is certainly giving all the “good” needed to go on.
Miss Davis, I cannot exactly see where it comes in, as after all I am as human as the rest of us & feel far from being worthy of all.
I also wish, that I could have stayed longer at V. Beach. I liked the place immensely & some day, if all goes well, I do expect to return back to it for a stay with hope of meeting you all again.
The family Hofheimer is well, they asked to be remembered to everybody.
My thanks & kindest regards to Mr. and Mrs. Cayce.
Most sincerely [1741]
