This reading excerpt, taken from a very early type of ‘life’ reading, 31-1, was given in February 1928 for a 47-year-old female. Mrs (31) was not present for the reading.
The reading commenced with an explanation of Mrs (31)’s astrological influences:
‘In entering we find the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Uranus. Hence we find one, irrespective of will's influence in the life, of high minded, high ennobling influence; yet love dominating every act as related to the self in relations to others, and yet reason carrying with same that of the necessity - to the entity's OWN development - of being something that must accompany even the highest motives or intent that may be experienced by each and every individual, would they give of the best to themselves or to others. In this respect we find the entity above that of others in the normal manner, for when duty - love - reason - are one, then such consciousness approaches near that of universal love that gave all that man might be one with that universal love.’
The reading then offered advice about Mrs (31)’s application of will, and a numerological explanation of certain aptitudes:
‘In the application of will in the present, we find this - through the development in the various spheres of experience - has brought to the entity much toward that of a full understanding that may be attained by this entity in this present experience; for, as is seen from the numerological or numerical aspect of the entity's appearance, three is the factor in the life, and on the third day of the week should the entity ever set aside for study and meditation when the entity desires to approach that full at-oneness found in that whole love as may be accomplished in duty, love and mental application combined in one. In the ninth month, then, the better period through which the entity may accomplish the most in mental application being toward that of the forte naturally builded in the entity's being; that of recording the mental transition of the forces in nature, or in life's varied phases that are as phenomena of the mental attributes of a life as related to the elements that build or re**rd the development of a soul through the earthly experience or sojourn. Hence we find while at other periods the entity is able to carry forward that line of writing, or of giving such in play or in music, yet in and during this period - especially from the third to the twenty-seventh of the ninth month - will the entity find in self the abilities to coordinate that of love, duty and mental ability, in the play, in the story, or in that as is ascribed by the entity through such period.’
The reading then focused on Mrs (31)’s ‘innate forces’:
‘As to the innate forces as are seen in the entity :
One naturally able to adapt self to most every circumstance, being circumspect in all things.
One of self's own mind, yet ever mindful of others' ability for themselves.
One naturally attracted to the occult or to the mystic, yet ever fearful (and rightfully so) of the misunderstanding and misapplication of the knowledge attained through such means or sources; yet - would the entity apply self in the direction especially of attaining through self's own subconscious self - the experiences of self in the various spheres of experience in the earth plane, that may be attained through self's own vision and dream - this would supply to the entity the background for the greatest of the writing the entity may ascribe in this present experience.’
The reading then examined four prior lifetimes for Mrs (31) – in the Roman Land, in the Persian Land, in the Egyptian Land, and a very early incarnation in Mongolia.
The reading then offered these comments about Mrs (31)’s present abilities:
‘In the abilities, then, as given, ascribe unto self that as is attained through self's own experiences and in so doing give unto others that ability to know duty in duty's place, love in love's place, and service in service's place, honoring service, honoring love, and making all one WITH that universal force as is ascribed, in that all-creative energy known as God, who gave self in the Son that man might approach that throne in a way that all may be one in Him, knowing self to be a portion of that whole, yet individual in the gift of the Creator that made each THEMSELVES, yet can make themselves a portion of the whole.’
Only one question was then asked:
‘(Q) On the subject of writing I should like to know WHAT I should write and where I should send it. (A) As given, on those lines as has been given. Send to all those publications that come under such heads. As is seen : Delineator - Quest - Light - Harper - and such.’
