1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [275], who is at ..., N.Y., in reference to all information which has been given to her through these sources. You will answer the questions which she has submitted regarding all phases of her life and associations, including interpretation of portions of her life reading, especially concerning former incarnations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, the information that has been given, the conditions as surround the entity that influence and are influenced by the entity. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Give exact time of physical and soul birth on Jan. 17, 1913, in the present incarnation? (A) Yes. There was, as counted as time, thirty to thirty-five minutes difference in birth physical and birth spiritual. The variations as occur, as has been given, are as the elements that make for those forces as termed hereditary influences, with environmentals as builded for; as with this entity in this particular experience, through the environments of that, or the present sojourn, would meet those of the cosmic forces, or meet the karmic forces in cosmic AND physical influence in the present. Hence some call it, or such relations, destiny. Some call it meeting such, when the conditions have been prepared by the activities of self.
4. (Q) What was the time of physical birth? (A) As given, there was thirty to thirty-five minutes difference.
5. (Q) Why was there a difference, and what did soul do in interim? (A) This has been given.
6. (Q) Why did entity wait until this incarnation to make good karma from the Roman period? (A) Because it couldn't do it before!
7. (Q) How many other lives have I had in between the ones you have mentioned through this source?
275-25 Page 2
(A) (After long pause) In earth's sphere, two. (Pause) LIFE has CONTINUED!
8. (Q) Have I been associated with Nellie Morris Watkins in any other incarnation? If so, which one? (A) Greece.
9. (Q) In the incarnation as Xera, give exact place and date, and description of my life. (A) As given, in the isles in or about the land was the greater portion of the experience lived or enacted during that experience. The study of the associations of self with those that made for much of the figures, that represented the various forms of expression of individual ideas or ideals, in cast, in marble, in the elements that were used in same in the period, occupied that of the developing portion of the entity's experience. Hence the abilities of the entity to interpret, or for figures to mean more than ordinary to the entity in an attempted interpretation of same BY the entity, of that attempted to be depicted or pictured, or acted in the entity's inner self creating same by the entity in the study of same. As the entity with, and as still may be seen, some in the isle that were of portions, or figures of the entity Xera in that experience, associated with one in that experience that made much of those that have recently been found, especially in the COLORED figures, or red and brown stones, that have been found more RECENTLY in this isle. These the work of Ponticellie [?]. This WHOM the entity associated with, and whom the entity may be the more CLOSELY associated in some of the arts in this particular experience.
10. (Q) That was the sculptor for whom the entity was a model? (A) Associated with, yes - and a model.
11. (Q) What city, and what date? [Ques. suggested by Hugh Lynn Cayce.] (A) Look it up and see! Where those have been the most recently found in the isles off the coast of Greece, where these were carried on, in the interpretation of the art of the period. As to time, from what dates shall we measure? The present, the central date at that period, or that set a period later? Before the CHRISTIAN era or A.D., two ninety-eight (298). Before the overflow from those of the period that registered in this particular portion of the land at that time, nine ninety-seven (997). Crete the name of the place THEN. Cypree (?) later. Present Saline (?).
12. (Q) With whom was I when I was among those who participated in the study of statuary? (A) As WITH those as indicated, see?
13. (Q) Where and how can I best learn to be an interpreter
275-25 Page 3
of artiste's expression of statuary? (A) By being alone and by becoming introspective, with such IN the PRESENCE OF self - see? Would one understand that which impels, or acts as an incentive for the awakening of those elements that are of a spiritual nature in their inception, and become introspective - not retrospective, but introspective - of self, in such environs, under such laws or such activities that show for the greater action upon that character or piece of statuary, or figure being studied, this MUST of itself gradually AWAKEN that as would make for a REMEMBRANCE within self, and the abilities for these to mean more and more to self in the present. The same manner as ANY art, as music, as painting, as song, as decorations, as figures, as architectural design, as any color that partakes of such elements, these may only be INCENTIVES that AWAKEN those elements of the nature in an entity's INNER being; for all such make their inundations (?) [indentation (?) incantation (?)], even as is SYMBOLED in the wax of your phonograph.
14. (Q) Have I any karma from this incarnation? (A) As these are awakened there may be seen that there are those conditions in which WILL must be used, keeping self well balanced. The karma is indicated in that given.
15. (Q) In the incarnation as Zangrill, give exact place, date, and birth? (A) That in the land called the INTER-BETWEEN of the Hun and the French, or that of the Rhine land - and in those DIVISIONS of the land.
