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, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as [2011].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, respecting this entity, many unusual associations - considered from the present environs - are indicated as to be a part of the experience, as well as that which HAS been the experience through the sojourns in the earth.
4. But in giving the interpretations as we find them, this is chosen that the experience may be a helpful one; thus bringing to the consciousness or awareness of the entity the reality in purpose and desire, and that it is not by chance, but that there may be the real manifestation with each soul for the filling of the purposes for which the soul enters.
5. The faults and the virtues may be given. These, too, depend upon what is the ideal set as the standard by the entity in interpreting of same.
6. These are chosen with that ideal which is set in Him, and thus we find these as indicated in the experience, in the form of that as may be called the judging from the astrological or astral sojourns as well as from the material activities in the material plane - thus being a composite of these influences:
7. One who cannot stand ROUTINE, and yet must conform to a great deal if the greater experience would be had. Not that it doesn't bring its turmoils, just as the desire for change or to be a roving individual, seeking new scenes, new
2011-1 Page 2
thrills, new associations, new activities, ever. And these then MUST be tempered with not only an ideal as ritual, but with those forces and influences as would make the entity not as a ne'er-do-well, but consistent in every phase of its experience.
8. The entity cannot stand to be disappointed in others.
9. Then, never allow it to be said in any phase of thy associations or activities that others will be disappointed in thyself.
10. From the very nature and the liking of change, oft the entity has been called fickle or insecure; and yet capable of and desiring the thrill of a great love experience in the material life.
11. Let it be based, too, upon spiritual concepts if you would know or experience or have this great love to be a reality.
12. A lover of outdoors, of nature, of anything pertaining to athletic activities. Thus the physical forces of the body will be greatly improved if there will be a designated period or activity in which exercises of every nature are taken in the open.
13. Keep close to nature to understand self, as well as others, the better.
14. The natural inclination is toward, or to be a lover of certain types or characters of music; and dependent upon the moods as to the types at the time.
15. Have an ideal in the music as well as in the morals, as well as in the spiritual associations, as well as in material aspects.
16. Do not demand of others that ye are not willing to give thyself; and demand ONLY of others that ye are willing to concede and live to in thine own experience.
17. And this attitude, and this lived, will make for much of peace and harmony throughout the experience.
18. As to the sojourns - these we find numerous, or apparently sudden in some experiences or periods, and far in others; and, as indicated, quite varied - as will be the activities and experiences in this present sojourn.
19. But know that the sojourn is purposeful. Life and its manifestations are one. Do not be impatient with others, nor so live or act that others may become impatient with thee.
20. In the appearances, then:
21. Before this we find the entity was in the present land during those activities known as the Revolution.
22. Then entity was among those who were not so much the Confederates as the consorters with, or close friends of,
2011-1 Page 3
Andre'.
23. Thus the entity was of those individuals who were not so highly thought of in some quarters and respects; and yet the entity was not thinking or seeking or seeing that which would be the outcome of such an association or affiliation; feeling or thinking only of the moment.
24. Let this be rather as an ensample or experience, and not let the same character of influence or force be the ruling in thy experience in the present.
25. The name then was Cambra Cyclon.
26. Before that we find the entity was in the Roman activity, when there were many of those peoples seeking favor with those who were in authority.
27. And the entity was among those in the position to whom it was given the ability to choose for favors, or special favors during court occasions. For the entity was closely affiliated with the ruler during those experiences when the tests of many individuals were made, as to the faith and patience tried through the experiences of the games without.
28. There we find the entity was a judge of the athletic activities in the fields of sport - those especially in which there was the race for the favor of the hand or the fan or the apple, as would be symbolized in the experience during those activities.
29. Hence we find something of the influences that are a portion of the entity in the present, and yet were for a purpose and desire - bringing a material experience in the activities of the entity in the present sojourn.
30. The name then was Cecila - and the entity gained, the entity lost; gained when there were the considerations of groups or masses or individuals for their material as well as their spiritual influences in the lives of individuals, but when turned only to self, self-exaltation of self's desires, these became stumblingblocks in the experience of the entity.
31. The abilities in judgements, especially as to accounts or as to individual activities of the entity in the present, arise much from that Roman sojourn.
32. Before that we find the entity was in the Norse land, during those periods when there were activities for spreading.
33. Then entity then was in the opposite sex, and making for activities in which great undertakings were a part of the experience in the building of ships, in the searching for new lands and strange sights.
34. Thus the innate longing in the present activities of the entity for new scenes, new fields, new endeavors, new
2011-1 Page 4
thrills, new activities; and still that which makes for a sociability with the opposite sex, and yet doubting most of them - from its own experience.
35. The name then was Zebun.
36. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, among the Natives who were in favor with the Young King, - and making for an activity in which there were the attempts of the entity - through the counsel of those who had been made as a part of the Young King's group of advisors - it brought about some disturbances in the experience.
37. And these also made for those influences in the experience of the entity where there were the attempts for the usage of the prestige as gained as to be a part of the experience.
38. Failing in same, then there came the desire to be sent as an emissary or representative of those various conditions in portions of the land; and gaining same through the associations with the King.
39. The name then was Amre-elaar.
40. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
41. Those things that have been a part of the experience become then either those influences that are to be stepping-stones or stumbling-stones in the building up of the experience of the entity in the present.
42. Then there becomes the need of those influences and forces as to make for security in the building of Creative Forces.
43. Thus as we find, while there may be a period in which there may be the activities in making a career for self, the home may be the greater career.
44. Choose wisely, though, in making its choice of a mate. For a disappointment in same would bring disturbances that would require a great deal of fortitude to meet - if there were disappointments in same.
45. Study then first to know the spiritual relations with Creative Forces. Act in those ways and manners to be a manifestation of thy ideals in thy relationships with thy fellow man, and in so doing ye may bring the better experiences, the safer journey, greater harmony and peace in the activities in this experience.
46. Ready for questions.
47. (Q) Is there a change of occupation in my life soon? (A) This depends upon choices as to be made regarding the mate. Choose that one who may give security not only materially but the greater faith and confidence in, yet offer the
2011-1 Page 5
opportunity for greater changes in thy material experience, - that is, the ability to travel, the ability to be in many different scenes and places and activities; for these offer an outlet for the entity.
48. (Q) Which man would bring the greatest happiness to me in marriage, the one living in Florida or the one living in Newport News, Va.? (A) The one you love the best! and that would give the opportunities for that as indicated! Choose this yourself.
49. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (in case you wish to send one to Mrs. [264] for her interpretation) Copy to Ass'n file file
