Time of Reading 11:25 to 11:45 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Va.
1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [308], born April 24, 1924, In Norfolk, Va., and the earthly existence of this entity as Jane Williams during the early periods in this land, in and around Williamsburg, Va. You will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. Then you will answer the questions, as I ask them, concerning the present decisions to be made by the entity as to its education, its life and work.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [308], and the experience of the enitity in the earth as Jane Williams.
3. It was during those periods of activity in the earth when there was the awakening, or the development of policies, parties, politics, AND the basic principles which later became the declared purposes of the new land.
4. As has been indicated, through that experience the entity was associated or affiliated in the families of those around which many of those conditions developed, and with many of those who were educated in the Williamsburg area - and who were outspoken. For, through that period of the entity's activity, Williamsburg was the center of the political as well as economic and social relationships of that new land.
5. Thus the entity grew in that environ in which the declarations made by the various groups became a part of the everyday experience of the entity, as it were. The entity grew in those closer relationships with those who became the acknowledged, and later the declared, leaders in the thoughts and tenets and purposes that eventually became the basic truths set forth in the Declaration of Independence, first, and then the Constitution.
6. Hence the entity in those activities became especially

associated or affiliated with those in the position to aid, help or contribute to the thought and purpose of the land.
7. Hence those tendencies towards the nurse, as has been indicated; yet there will always be those tendencies in the experience of the entity towards those things having to do with the political influences or relationships of the land with those of other lands.
8. Thus we find that the developments, the education, the training for the entity in the present should be with that in mind. While the developments will be natural as a nurse, the activity in that field will only lead to a greater experience of the entity with the associate or companion in the activity of a diplomatic relationship, as may be established later, through those activities and associations of the entity.
9. For, as indicated, these are the channels through which the entity would be better capable of adapting itself; while those periods of awakening and of associations as to the healing art, and those things as would have to do with nursing and the like, are the channels through which developments would come.
10. The entity throughout that experience kept in the closer associations individuals who were associates of the leaders of the country, through those periods of activity.
11. And, as we have indicated, if there is the opportunity for the entity to be trained or developed, or to be schooled in that place of activity or Williamsburg, this would arouse or bring many of the relationships and activities that are latent in the experience of this entity.
12. These, as we find, led the entity to become later associated with those in the greater fields of activity in Washington and those of other lands.
13. Hence part of the experience of the entity should be in languages - as Spanish and French. Theses especially should be a part of the training for the entity, for those fields that are - or will be - opened for the choices of the entity to take in its relationships to those conditions and experiences through which this material world is passing in the present.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Considering my desire to enter Madison College at Harrisonburg, Va., this fall, please advise whether I should start a pre-nursing course first or languages? (A) Pre-nursing course first. Languages should be a part of the training in some period of the developments.
16. (Q) What other studies there, besides psychology and languages, would prepare me for the diplomatic service?
308-9 Page 3
(A) Psychology and languages are the principal studies to develop the thought and understanding in those directions.
17. (Q) Please advise as to the attitude I should hold in order to make proper application towards a purposeful ideal in social and marital relationships. (A) As may be indicated from these, as well as the conditions indicated in the experience of the entity through those periods of sojourn in and about Williamsburg, and Washington - these should be ideals that are based on the spiritual life itself. These are the sources of help not only for the conscious satisfaction of living and being a purposeful experience for the entity, but for attracting to the entity those who are qualified to make for the entity those proper openings for the life in its marital relationships, as well as in the service which the entity may give to its country - as a service to the glory of God and to the honor of the land.
18. (Q) Should I plan to eventually marry? If so, when? (A) In about the twenty-third year of the experience of the entity.
19. (Q) What should be the standard of measurement in myself for choosing a life partner? (A) That which is thine OWN standard; the Christ-Consciousness, the Christ-Life. Those who do not use that as their pattern are NOT in keeping with the better influences for creating those lives, those activities, those environs for the conscious development for the betterment.
20. (Q) What is my seal? (A) The seal here as would be indicated would be the leaf; not the palm and yet not the Canadian leaf, yet not the corn, but a long leaf with the erosions on the side much as the oak leaf. This would be green and red in color. The signs or seals about same would be: above the leaf and very small, a helmet; not that of the latter day but more in the form of the knighted helmet. This would be with the cross and the staff crossed behind same. This would indicate the might, the universality, and the strength in the cross and the staff.
