1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and 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 universe and 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 the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus, with Uranus very influential in the aspect with Jupiter and with Venus.
4. One, then, whose present experience in the earth's plane is of an interesting nature.
5. On who gives out much to many peoples, yet always considered rather of an eccentric nature.
6. Slow to wrath, yet capable of making light of conditions even in wrath.
7. One that has many abilities, or many talents.
8. One that is of the home loving nature, and is the head of the home.
9. One that gives much pleasure to those whom this entity counts as friends.
10. Friends to all, yet very few are included in close friendships.
11. One of genial disposition, yet often called rather reserved.
12. One especially given to deal in detail works.
13. One that suffered physically greatest through the early childhood, the digestion and fevers being the greater physical troubles.
14. One that will have the opportunity to gain much in this
2229-2 Page 2
world's goods, though the entity would fain accept the sources through which same would be presented at this time.
15. One that would rather be right than be in high position with an unclean conscience.
16. One that gives much in counsel by the expression, rather than by word of mouth, expressing same in own actions and in the eye.
17. In the appearances, these give many inclinations that are latent, yet may be developed in the present earth's plane.
18. One that will give much to many peoples through the ingenuities of the mental of the entity.
19. In the appearance before this, we find the entity in that of the first settlers that gave a message to the peoples in the land to which the entity came. Then in the name Rodny Williams, and the entity then a dignitary in the church in the land from which the entity came. The change in the environment brought many changes to the entity's tenets, and the urge as is seen in the present - that peculiar own conception as regarding religious rites and religious dictation. In the main the entity gained in that experience, giving and living the counsel as was to his own people and to those whom he would serve.
20. In the one before this we find in the Roman rule of that king who brought much change to the affairs of peoples, and to the development of those machineries of war and of industry. The entity then in the name Phlius, and the entity was at the court and at the head of much of this change as was brought. In that experience the entity lost in self-aggrandizement when there came wreck to the ruler. The urge as is seen - the mechanical inclination, or that of the draftsman in ANY line. The entity able to visualize easily the workings of any mechanical device, and this may be applied even yet to that idea that has long been in the mind of the entity, as regarding propelling of mechanical machinery.
21. In the one before this we find in the rule of the Egyptian forces, when the division in that land was in, what would be called, church and state. The entity then a craftsman, or a scribe (as was later termed) in that period. In two names then the entity served. In the first rule as Pliaus - changed in the second, when the divisions arose, to that of Arsria, and the entity gained in that experience, for, with all the turmoil as was caused, the entity remained in the one purpose - to serve those to whom the ascribed conditions of records was committed, and many were the records made by that entity, that have been seen in even

recent years. In the urge is seen the natural scribe, and the inclination to figures, and especially of deciphering any of the writings of most any individual, and especially a linguist, and would have made, and could as yet make, a linguist for many languages, and even of those that are counted as dead.
22. In the abilities, then, of the entity, as are seen, these are many, and many of the urges as are latent will be used and applied in the years yet to come in present earth's plane for the entity. The especial service may be in teaching, through that of the application of truths as have been and are being, compiled by the entity, as well as in the completion of those ideals in the mechanical ways as are being pushed, or studied by the entity. Through this would come much world's goods, provided same are applied correctly.
23. The forces as are set in motion through the entity's sojourn, then, have been for the betterment of those less fortunate in many respects, as considered from the material plane. Keep the counsel of Him who gave, and of Him who gives, for in Him is life and light, and in Him is no variableness, and the way becomes brighter by the service.
24. We are through for the present.
