1. GC: You will have before you the entity [1701], born June 8, 1923 at 41 East 78th St., a private sanitarium, New York City; and you will continue with the Life Reading begun for this entity on October 5, 1938. You will then answer the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [1701].
3. In giving that as may be the most beneficial, the most helpful for this entity, in relationships to its experiences in the earth and that it may experience in the present, - little that is ordinarily of interest is AS YET of interest to this entity, as to history, former appearances or the like.
4. Hence more of that of a spiritual nature should be the application in the present for this entity.
5. This is an entity that to many is hard to understand, and too oft - because of the supersensitiveness - it is said that the entity is a poor, unfortunate one, because of its moods, its temperament. These are so changeable. These are so one way today and tomorrow may be entirely different, that the entity becomes more and more one tending towards self-condemnation - or wholly condemning others for those conditions which apparently become a part of the experience of the entity.
6. This is not necessarily a fault; indeed not that which may not be used as a steppingstone to attaining, to gaining helpful influences in the experience of the entity.
7. Yet, these very natures, these very characteristics will require that the entity analyze self the more often.
8. For, the entity should INTEREST self in that which is creative and constructive; not necessarily just to be spiritual-minded, but because that which IS creative and that which is helpful in EVERY manner will bring the most helpful influences in the experience of the entity.
9. For, every virtue has its own reward. The expending of self in any direction of a destructive nature also, -
1701-2 Page 2
whether it be jealousy, hate, fault-finding, impatience or what - brings that which is self-condemning to an entity, especially one as sensitive and as high-minded as this entity in its inner and deeper purposes.
10. But the little things, the slurs, the failures, the faults that may be found, work an awe upon the entity - as it were; but an awe that causes the entity to turn more into self - and to close up, to become destructive as it were and to DETERMINE in that direction.
11. These bring distress, discomfort, disorder, discouragement - in the physical, mental AND spiritual self.
12. We find that the greater field of activity should be in music, and especially to emulate such music as Schumann, - that is, in the same tempo or vibration - which might bring a helpful force.
13. Study all forms of new thought, new ideas, new approach, and especially SPIRITUALITY rather than spiritualism.
14. These as we find, if they are emulated, if they are applied, may bring the greater, the better influences for this body, [1701].
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What particular musical instrument, or any special one? (A) Of course, it must begin from the piano.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file le
