1. GC: You will have before you the entity [2052], born Jan. 10, 1906, in New Haven, Conn. and the Life Rdg. given for him thru this channel on Dec. 1, 1939. The entity, now in his office at ..., N.Y.C., seeks information, advice and guidance - in the light of that best for his mental and spiritual development - concerning the decision to be made between the two women who have influenced his life. Considering that he seems to love them both in different ways and doesn't want to injure either one, you will advise the entity as to his choice between [S], born June 8, 1908 in ..., Germany (now at ..., N.Y.), and [F], born May 25, 1905, in ..., Ohio (now at ..., Ohio). Then you will answer the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity and the information which has been given regarding this entity through this channel; also those problems in the experience of the entity in the present regarding the relationships with the individuals [...] and [...].
3. In giving that as may be helpful for the entity at this time, many things - to be sure - are to be taken into consideration.
4. As the entity innately has experienced, these individuals represent a definite activity taken by the entity in its experience in the earth plane among the princes - or the prince of his peoples in that experience in which there was allowed self-indulgence, self-gratification, owing to the beauty physically of that individual who now would appear PHYSICALLY superior to that other duty and obligation which is a part of the entity's present experience.
5. And to allow such an influence in the present to cause the discarding, the irreparable activity, would bring not only degradation but a continued consciousness of wrongdoing, and fear would creep in. And, so far as the mental and spiritual life of the entity is concerned, it would prove degrading to the entity.

6. As regarding spiritual and MENTAL conditions, there is only ONE course for the entity, and that is to discard ANY relationships with [F] other than of a purely helpful nature from the social angle.
7. There needs to be the closer relationships with the entity whom THIS body, THIS entity so belittled in that experience in which there were the needs for the priest to disregard the laws and to stay the plague of self-indulgence among those peoples.
8. Thus, putting away that individual who caused these will be for the betterment of self, for the development of self and that individual, as well as building for those relationships which may bring spiritual, mental AND material blessings to the entity - through the closer relationship with [S] who was the companion in that experience.
9. In analyzing these conditions - to be sure, entanglements have come about, but these must be settled within self. Just as the consciousness has caused uncertainty, so will the correct spiritual and mental decision bring harmony and peace - and give BETTER activities in the experience of this entity, [2052].
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) If I remain married to [S] how can I have children, in view of her condition? (A) By having those things corrected, that may bring about such - if this is the desire of each. There should be an agreement, a real desire between the two; not one but both must make for that desire - and live like it.
12. (Q) What will be the effect of breaking away from [F] on the one hand in so far as her future life is concerned? (A) Be better for ALL concerned. Choose. For, as was given in days of old, there is today set before thee good and evil, life and death; choose thou.
