Born May 7, 1900, in Chateauneuf, about 45 mi. west of Versailles, France. Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York. (Life Reading Suggestion)
1. EC: (In going back over the years to birth date, " - '23, '22, '21, '20 - What a life! - '19, '18 - " etc., on back to date of birth.)
2. Yes, we have the entity here, now known as or called [966].
3. In giving that which may be helpful to this entity in the present, let the entity look upon life as the expression of the Creative Forces that are manifested in individual experiences of an entity; and that Life is the portion of the Creative Energy or God. Thus it is eternal.
4. The manner in which the entity makes manifest its portion of that Creative Force, either in the earth as a living human being or in spirit as a soul in the varied attributes necessary of same to give conscious expression in the various environs about the earth (that are in THEIR way and manner supplying to the entity a channel, a manner whereunto the individual soul as expressed in self may find its way back to an at-onement with that Creative Force), is either working towards that Creative Energy or away from it.
5. As He gave, "If ye will be my children, I will be thy God." Again as He hath given, "Ye abiding IN me, I in the Father, thee in me and in the Father, may be one with that Creative Force."
6. Hence as the entity finds expressions in the material forces and influences about the earth, it may experience - and has experienced - that as He has given; that when man in body, in mind, gives expression to the fruits of the spirit (that are those things making aware in the material consciousness of the entity its at-oneness with that influence, that force which is applicable in the experience of each and every one), more and more may he become aware that Life IS ONE.

7. While there may be expressions of an entity in varied ways and manners (as in the earth), they are from the same motivating force, the same impelling influence that arises from the gift of the Creative Force which makes man ever ONE; if man will but make the will one with Him.
8. The expressions are seen in the earth, as the corn; when it is given its place it produces its OWN kind. So with man. From whence cometh the body? It is the gift of the Maker, but with the same spirit, with the same soul. The corn does not produce fish or a tree or a rose; but each thing produces after its own naturalness. So with man, though the expression may be One with Him - if it is made so.
9. How has He given that this shall come to pass in man's experience?
10. "As ye do it unto the least of these thy brethren, ye do it unto me."
11. With what judgment shall ye be judged when ye stand before the throne of grace and mercy?
12. With that judgment ye have meted to thy friend and thy foe; for they, too, are a portion of that Whole, and stand WITH thee in that Presence, that Consciousness, throughout thine experiences.
13. Thou art gifted in much that enables thee to see into the future, through thine experiences in the earth.
14. Thy experiences in Venus have made thee give of thy body, of thy mind, in expressions that there might be known to others that in the material ways and manners thou hast given in thine way and thine manner of expression.
15. Thou hast seen and known the experiences in Uranus that make for the extravagances that arise in thine activities at times in thy relationships, in thine activities, in thine strength, in thine manner of approach to this or that activity in thine influence.
16. These are but signposts, but as ye have used these influences as to the purposes and the aims and the desires, THESE are they that are accounted by Him for righteousness; or for injustices, or for those things that CREATE dissension or bring inharmonious experience in thine associations and in thine activities.
17. As to thine appearances in the earth, that make for the relationships in thine activities in the present, we find:
18. Before this the entity was in that land in which it has chosen to dwell in the present; during those periods when there were many coming to the land for the activities that bespoke of the religious fervor and temperament and tendencies.

19. Yet thou in thine seeking hast found that those who hold to the faith that is innate within, and who dwell one - with the Creative Forces, bring to bear that which is the most LIVABLE, the most acceptable.
20. For as He has given, thou must meet thine own self in Him - IN Him!
21. During those experiences we find the entity was in that land in and about what is now known as E-town [?], or that portion close to what is now New Haven; or the first establishments of the French peoples in the land.
22. In the name then Lucecene, the entity gained and lost. It gained through those activities when in the latter portion of the experience there was the bringing together of many that were being left, as the peoples sought for the satisfying of their own indulgences.
23. The entity then was a teacher, one who aided in establishing the home for the young; thereby gaining. It lost in the early portion of the experience by its stubbornness; for its own undoing.
24. Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Promised or Holy Land, during those periods when the Master walked in the earth.
25. The entity then was among those who were the associates and in the company of those to whom the Master went oft, as the rest place in Bethany.
26. Then in the name Joda, the entity gained much; for the entity came close to the understanding of Him as He taught, "Ye must love one another," and "Inasmuch as ye give of thyself, of thine abilities in making for harmonious influences in the experiences of others, ye establish within thyself thy OWN relationships to thy Maker."
27. Remember oft, as He taught thee, thou may see thy Redeemer face to face, if ye will but act in that way and manner in which He may ever be a guest in thine heart, thine surroundings, thine activities. For as by spirit, as by manner, as by truth, as by life He is the essence of these indeed, so may ye in thine expression and experience in thine ministry to others bring that to bear in thine OWN life that thou may walk with Him, thou may see Him face to face. For thy Redeemer liveth.
28. As thou hast seen Him in body, so may ye see Him in the spiritual body, in the GLORIFIED body, in the experiences in which ye see Him in those that ye would serve.
29. For as He gave, "He that is the greatest among you will be servant of all." Not in menial duty necessarily, not in belittling self, but in GLORIFYING the principles of the Truth of Him in the LIFE and in the expressions.

30. For as the soft word turneth away anger, just as grievous words stir up strife, so does love beget that which brings into the heart and mind and understanding the more and more at-oneness with Him, and the consciousness that THY Redeemer, Jesus of Nazareth, passes by!
31. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as or called the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were those journeying hither from the Atlantean land.
32. The entity then was the princess of fire, or that one of the Law of One who acted in the capacity oft of the interpreter from and to the masters, the sons of the Most High, that would communicate with those in the earth.
33. Then the entity, as Princess Ilax, made for the establishing of the material activities in the sun god worship, that were later set up by Isis, Ra, Hermes, Ra-Ta and those who became the teachers during the experience.
34. The entity then rose to one of power, yet falling away to the influences of the natives in their rebellions that arose; yet coming again in the active service through MENIAL activities of the entity in the relationships to the establishing of the teachings and the indigent activities in the experience.
35. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain and how:
36. First study to show thyself approved unto thy concept of thy ideal that is set in Him; rightly divining the words of truth; finding not fault but rather correlating the spiritual purposes in the activities of individuals, and - thusly - keeping self unspotted from the world.
37. In Ministering, in teaching, in STRENGTHENING the psychic forces from within, may the entity make for the ability to be not only a compassionate companion with those in distress, but may - through the activities in ministering to others - make for that harmony, that peace in the own experience as to bring contentment and the glory of the church in thine own heart and mind and body.
38. Be ye ONE with Him.
39. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [587] " " Ass'n file
