1. EC: Now, in this earth plane, we find this is one where the entity was of tender years, as far as earth plane's existence was concerned, and had much to do with other conditions that had been in earth plane's existence.
2. In this earth plane we find the entity was born of Gracia [?Agatha?] the beloved of the court, and of the ruler's son of the territory just across the waters. And the change necessary in court proceedings prevented the culmination of this ruler's recognizing the earthly fatherhood of Dahl [?Dale? Beille?]. [GD questions her spelling.]
3. The life that was lived in this court we find the first years in the heart and affection of the mother, who was of beautiful figure and loving in every manner. The great trials came to the entity (speaking from earth's plane view) when the separation was effected between mother and son, when there was the great yearning in the days when the young life was gradually taken out on account of the jealousy arising in the court. For the king became fully aware of the lad's appearance and the possibility of it becoming the ruler forces others to play the traitor to the mother, who loved the entity so well.
4. As related to the conditions that exist between this entity and that upon which the earth plane's existence so much depended, we find the farther-reaching of destinies, both in the past and in the present and future.
5. (Q) What should be the relation between these individuals at the present time, or in this present earth plane? (A) The lives of each have ever been bound in the other's life, and the conditions as exist are only the outgrowth of endeavor in earth plane. They, the relations at the present, should be the ever innate affection as is necessary in the lives of each, for the satisfying not of the earthly forces but of the soul and spirit forces which find manifestation in material affection. Let that affection be such as gives of self to each, in no uncertain terms or physical manner, but ever in the answering of each desire

toward the other in the way that gives of self's affection. That is, the outward manifestations of the inward desires of the heart and soul, which find in each the answering chord in the other's affection that will never, never, never be found in any other. For since in the first meetings, in the reign when Croesus [II, prehistory?] was king in Persia, when this entity [Dale?], then the warrior in Uhjltd, found and became enamoured with the beauty, the physical forces, and found the developing of the psychic through the suffering that both endured, and through which this entity, then the helpmate and companion of king's daughter, lost its head through the treachery of others, we find the same enacted in this French court. Then, in the present let those considerations be found as the understanding is at present; the treachery will only remain within themselves.
Be faithful one to the other, irrespective of earthly conditions, yet in that way that there is that consideration of other relations that are necessary and existing, for other conditions as have been met.
Be kind, affectionate, one toward the other, in the heart and soul preferring the other, giving of self in physical manifestations of the affections of the heart, of the soul, of the mind, of the body; for these are souls of the making, and were united in the beginning. And though their bodies may burn with their physical desires, the soul of each is and will be knit with the other when presented before the throne of Him, who gave and said, "Be fruitful, multiply." Give of the best, that the best may be presented to Him.
These two have ever been together, you see, except in the American forces when there was the soon return in that of the wanderer, and in the Grecian [Trojan] period. Each time this entity, Gracia [?Agatha?], or [288] as known in the present, has been in the earth plane with the entity known in the present earth plane as [294].
Be thou faithful unto the end and receive that crown that is ever for the faithful in heart, soul and body.
Be kind, affectionate, loving, ever giving, ever preferring the other.
