1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '39 - some periods of anxiety - '24 - changes - Yes, the bells rung during the period when this entity entered the material plane - near where the entity was born.")
3. We are given here the records of that entity now known as [1935].
4. While this should not discourage the entity, we find that here is an entity allowing its abilities to be used in channels that are just "something to do" and to meet the material emergencies. The abilities as a healer, as a teacher or leader, should have been developed; and they MAY still be developed, if there is the desire on the part of the entity to accomplish same.
5. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here for this entity, these we choose with the desire and purpose that this may be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfillthe purposes for which it entered this material sojourn.
6. We would minimize the faults and magnify the virtues. This should be the ideal and purpose of the entity in its dealings with others; though there may oft occur in the experience the inclination to feel that the entity is being neglected. This is something of the ego manifesting. And yet this used aright, and in the Christ-Consciousness, may bring not only a growth and an unfoldment but hope and peace
1935-2 Page 2
in the lives of others. But if it is applied in a nature as of requiring the attention to self, it may bring hardships, even separations. But remember, it is best to learn first to be able to live with self and thy concept of thy Maker.
7. As to urges latent and manifested - we find Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are manifested as urges in the latent forces or dreams, or latent abilities of the entity. Thus the entity is attractive to all with whom it may come in contact, or those whom it may choose to attract by applying its own mind or its activity. This is well, if applied in that spirit as indicated.
8. From Jupiter we find the universal consciousness, which needs - though - unfoldment. For, rather the influences of Venus were applied in the experience before this, and the Jupiterian in that experience which, as we shall see, is more of a latent force - yet may be unfolded in the present.
9. Uranus brings the extremes - interest in the occult; the abilities to heal even by the laying on of hands - those who are closely associated with the body. As the entity experiences with those of the closer association, the ability to touch or to be near or to put the hands or to have the hands of the body put on them, brings quiet, brings a peace, brings a satisfaction. This is good, applied from the spiritual angle, and the ways in the mental for healing. But it may become of a different spirit of activity, if applied in only the material satisfaction that may be gained.
10. As to the appearances - not all of these may be indicated; only those that have the more to do with those unfoldments that are manifested in the experiences indicated in the present:
11. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity. While the entity was born in the New York or the Mohawk Valley land, during the early settlings, it journeyed to the present environs and there aided in the establishing of surroundings that became of a nature of good - and yet of some questions to some.
12. The name then was Etta Wodswarth. From that experience there are the present abilities to attract the opposite sex, and the entity may - if it so chooses - always have more than one on a string, as it may be termed. This may be for good or for bad, dependent upon what is the choice or the desire or the purpose in such, in the experience of the entity.
13. The abilities that enable the entity to attract also enable the entity to give out of self in that as a teacher, as an instructor, as a healer, as a nurse, or in those
1935-2 Page 3
fields where there may be mental aid brought to the physical being through the strong character - and loveliness - of the entity itself.
14. Before that the entity was in the Promised Land, or Palestine land, in those periods of activities of the followers or disciples of the Master in the earth.
15. The entity was among those given, by the very power given to the disciples or the Apostles, to be a healer, an instructor, a teacher, both of the young and the old. This brought into the experience of the entity some periods of activity in which - while there were many persecutions and there were abilities necessarily used by the entity to be able to control crowds, groups, or individuals - there came understanding and aid to the entity, as well as its associates and activities, through the period.
16. The name then was Lacish. In the experience the entity gained much.
17. Before that the entity was in the Grecian land, among the first of those chosen to be sent into the "city in the hills and the plains."
18. The entity then was beautiful in body, in mind, and in activity. In the associations there we find the entity came under those influences of the teacher, and was given those activities in association with the hospitalization, or among those who aided in the caring for the young.
19. From that experience we find the abilities of the entity to control the opposite sex for its own use, or for the furthering of the entity's own plans.
20. The entity gained through the greater portion - and the abilities as the healer, as the teacher, as the instructor, are a part of the latent and manifested abilities of the entity in the present.
21. The name then was Eccoro.
22. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the activities of rebuilding under the Priest, when there was the establishing of the Temple of Sacrifice and the Temple Beautiful.
23. The entity was purified through the Temple of Sacrifice and dedicated through the activities in the Temple Beautiful; becoming one that led in the healings under the direction of the Priest, especially as related to the children - or during those periods of childbirth through those periods of activities.
24. Then the name was Is-It-Tis.
25. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
26. First, know thine own ideals.
1935-2 Page 4
27. In ANY form of service in which the entity may contribute to the mental, spiritual and physical well-being of others, the entity may succeed. But the greater development or growth would come from that applying of self as a healer or instructor; or a teacher in spiritual and mental truths, and in their application in the experience of others. But apply only that thou hast applied and experienced in thine own associations with thy fellow man.
28. The entity may excel in these, if there is the application in those directions indicated.
29. Study, then, to show thyself approved unto God, a workman not ashamed, rightly dividing the words of truth, and keeping SELF unspotted from the world - or from condemnation from others.
30. Ready for questions.
31. (Q) Should I go to Beltsville, Maryland, when my office moves there or should I transfer to another office in a more convenient location for me? (A) That must be chosen by the entity itself. This will be the opportunity for the changes as we have indicated here, but if there is not felt within self the understanding and sufficient interpretation, or the material needs are such that it requires the full time activity, then better change with the office.
32. (Q) What Government agency in Washington and person should I contact for a position for which I am qualified and where I would be most likely to be happy? (A) You do not belong, really, in the Government service at all!! Then why make such application? BUT, if this is the choice of the entity, then choose thou - and use those abilities, the attractiveness, to influence individuals for that ye choose.
33. (Q) Should I make an effort to become separated from my husband? (A) If this is the desire, and there is more love in thine activity with others that are influencing and that ye can influence, choose thou. WE would not make it, because the same thing will happen to you that is happening to someone else!
34. (Q) Where and how have I been formerly associated with my friend, [...], to whom I am closely attracted in the present? (A) In the experience before this he was your lover, but not your husband!
35. (Q) In the Mohawk Valley period, was I the child of [808] (Then Patricia Wodswarth) who migrated and helped found Alexandria, Virginia? (A) As has been indicated.
36. (Q) Did I become associated then with [2784], then
1935-2 Page 5
Andrew Batellu, in Alexandria during George Washington's time? (A) This was previous to Andrew Batellu, though there was the acquaintance with or the knowing of his activities in the latter portion of the life, but not a close associate.
