1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities latent and exhibited in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and to that which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe, and the universal forces, as are manifested in the earth's plane in the present life, and the influences from those as are exhibited from sojourn in the earth's plane, with those conditions for which the entity has merited or brought to itself, that may through the present earth plane be met with the will, the development in the passage through the plane at this time.
3. In this entity (the present earth's plane) we have the fulfilling of that injunction as was given in the words of the great preacher, [Solomon] "A high look, a proud heart, but the plowing of the wicked is sin." [Proverbs 21:4] [An high look, and a proud heart, AND the plowing of the wicked, IS sin.]
4. In the present earth's plane, through the entity's sojourn, we have many different phases in development and in the manifestations of same, for in the present we find the position assumed from that of Mercury, with influences of Mars, Uranus and Neptune. One then desiring to create about self mysticism, or one not understood by others, yet presenting a bold face and position, and able to establish same in fact or by letter of law.
5. One who is given with many mental abilities. One who with appearances keeps the ennobling influence of religious thought paramount in secular action, yet weighted with those mystic forces as are found in Neptune and in the occult forces in Uranus. One with mental abilities to gain great

wealth through the periods when we find Jupiter's influence in that of Uranus and Neptune. One with doubts as to whether such monies would bring the better development, or the better aptitude for the DE-velopment rather than development.
6. One that we find is good in character reading of individuals. One we find who has been associated with individuals that have proven untrue in operations, though self not entangled in same.
7. One capable of handling many peoples when the correct principles are outlined for the individual. One who, with making the mental combine with the ennobling and the real forces of Universality, may give much to self development and to others.
8. One who will ever find the better relations, whether of social, mental or financial, in those that have to do with ecclesiastical relations, and rather those of the moral code.
9. One we find whose mentalities lie then in many directions. As to how these may be developed and brought to the usage of the present entity, we find same manifested through the various phases of development in the earth's plane.
10. Then, as to appearances:
11. In the one before this, we find in the early days of the settling of Ukraine, when the Promised Land peoples were being distributed among those peoples who sought out the destruction of those people. The entity in the youth brought to Ukraine. Then in the name of Omri, and the entity then served in that capacity of the attendant to the power that sought the destruction, or the household of him who was a leader in the Crusade. In the development then, and in the personality, we find that ability to take orders, when given from the source that to the entity is unquestionable, and with the same we find the entity desiring freedom in thought and in action. Hence bringing to self the mysticism, or the unaccounted for, to many, of the secrecy of its (the entity's) actions.
12. In the one before this, we find in the days of the rebuilding of the walls from the first time the destruction brought to Holy City. The entity then in that capacity of the scribe to the ruler. Then in the name Enlea, and the entity developed much in that day, and through the law and the giving of same to many peoples, and especially to those of the household of that faith. The personality then as exhibited in the present earth's plane, the love of the letter of the law, the desire to always appear abiding by

same.
13. In the one before this we find in the Mongolian peoples when the divisions in the lands brought the peoples together in that walled place, now near that of Sitar, in Mongolian, and the entity then in the name of Oibjuea. The development there through force rather than of self-will, and the entity only remained in that of the ne'er do well. In the present we find the personality is of the one seeking to acquire that through the labors of others with the information furnished by self.
14. In the one before this we find in the beginning of the peopling of the earth, near what was then called Babel, and the entity in that of Sitknar, and was in the household of the founder of the building then first begun. This was before the town afterward called tower was built on same site. The entity from this sojourn again finds the ability to think for self.
15. Then, as to the abilities of the entity, and how to apply them in the present earth's plane:
16. First, seek to make self aright in spirit and in truth, through the Divine forces as relate to self and others. Then apply self to the usage of the abilities in self in no uncertain terms, seeking ever the welfare of others as of self. Never undermining, never underhanding, never giving cause for the doubt of the faith as lies in spiritual laws applied to the physical conditions, and in this manner, and through the channels the entity has chosen for its present work and labors, will come much of this world's goods, for in the meridian of life we will find there will come the conjunction of the influences of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, with Neptune and Uranus, and in that month Nicen* [Nisan?] we will find there will come the greater amount of monies through the efforts of the entity. * [9/1/76 Note: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1974 by G. & C. Merriam Co., defines NISAN as the 7th month of the civil year or the first month of the ecclesiastical year in the Jewish calendar.]
17. Then, use that as given for the manifestations of the liberty as desired in self for those who depend directly upon the entity for liberty for themselves.
18. We are through.
