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 Universal Forces as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find one coming under the influence of the cusps, or the changes as take place in the astrological position in the earth's orb and its companions in the present solar system under which the earth is ruled or guided or led, and the entity then comes in that position of one of exceptional abilities, exceptional in many ways and manners. Eccentric also, and very headstrong.
4. One of good figure in the early portion of the life.
5. One with the inclinations towards those conditions as regarding the things pertaining to earthly pleasures, earthly foibles, earthly conditions.
6. One that has found much in the present earth's plane through the various experiences of the entity in the various phases of human development, and the various manifestations of the various phases of human development.
7. One that would have been, and would yet be, a writer, or a teacher, for the vision and the aptitude of the entity towards those conditions as pertain to visions of any condition, especially that as of the developing phases in the phenomenas of life and of its evolutions, show the various developments in those manifested visions of the entity.
8. One that is given especially to the development of
979-4 Page 2
conditions as respecting home, making most of any position or condition under which the entity labors.
9. One that comes under the influence of Mercury and Jupiter. Hence one who will find the greatest changes came in this period of the present earthly existence. In the fourteenth year, again in the twenty-second, again in the forty-second, and in the present year, in the latter portion of the year, the greatest changes of all.
10. One that will give much to others through the experiences as have been held, had, or experienced by the entity in the present earth's plane.
11. One that speaks often too quick, without taking thought of the seed of the word sown.
12. One that will give much in the experience to others, could and will under the influence of letters or of articles that may be written by the entity yet.
13. One that finds much good in the actions of all, and ever ready to defend those who are considered in the way of wrong by others, yet the entity one holding close to the tenets of good.
14. As to the appearances, much, as is seen, is from the influence of the earthly experiences, for in the one before this we find the entity then in the court of the ruler in that country now known as England, and in the rule of the second Charles. The entity then in the household of the ruler and the companion often of the king. Hence the present urge for those things as pertain to power and of vision, and the hardest conditions in the present life being able to be compatible with things of low estate, or little mien, or littleness in anyone. AGAIN the compatible spirit to be able to meet every condition, whether of high or low in social way and manner, is the abilities from this same sojourn.
15. In the one before this we find among those of the peasant people who first founded that land now know as Alsace, and the entity then gained much in service in the settlements of the country in the help, aid, and assistance to the first peoples who came under this scourge that racked the land, and the urge as is seen from same - one capable to turn hand to any kind of work - that is, applying the hands - in needle work, in sewing, in ANY thing that is necessary for the use or the nimbleness of the hand, and there is seen the ability to be the nurse to any that is afflicted in body.
16. In the one before this we find in that period when the people returned from bondage in the Egyptian country. The entity then among those who took the journey toward the
979-4 Page 3
Promised Land, and among those who, though young in years, reached the Promised Land, and the various ideas as are held by the entity, especially regarding this journey, though ever being peculiar to itself, has always been a fascinating subject to the entity, and love of others to discuss same. Entity gained much during that period.
17. In the abilities, then, of the entity, and the application of same in the present plane, would be for the entity to apply self in the chronicling of the experiences in the present plane for the benefit of others. In this the entity would find much success, and the first papers would be acceptable to many of the magazines, and the articles would bring great pleasure and much monies to the entity.
18. Then, keep those of the rule as is seen through the period of the Exodus, and of the assistance given in Alsace, but leave much of the high-mindedness in the past, submerging this evil desire and bringing to the front that of service.
19. We are through for the present.
