1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [2301], born Nov. 11, 1911, in Princess Anne County, Va., who is now present in this room; with the information that has been given him through this channel. As I name them to you, you will correlate various experiences in the earth that have to do with present urges and activities of the entity, or any other experiences that may not have been given in his Life Reading; giving the urges and influences in each period which have an influence on the present life, and what should be done about them. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. (Q) First, the incarnation before this as Monroe Grossman, in the area of Jamestown and Williamsburg. (A) EC: Yes, we have the entity here, [2301], the information which has been given through this channel as respecting the experiences of the entity in the earth, and those influences that those experiences have upon the entity in the present. In interpreting the application made by the entity in varied appearances, and the influence the same bears upon the abilities, the faults and the virtues of the entity in the present, it may be well for this entity that there be an interpretation of just how such experiences have an influence in the present. This may be comparable to the experience of an entity as it undertakes its studies, its lessons, in school. Not that there is in the everyday life the remembering of daily experiences in school, yet those daily experiences create the background with which the entity - as in its daily contact with problems - reviews in a memory those problems that were part of the experience during such days of what is commonly called education, or unfoldment.
2301-4 Page 2
Just so in the daily experience of an individual entity through the various lessons learned, gained or lost in the earthly experiences, it builds a background to which the entity-mind responds as it applies itself in meeting the daily problems that arise. One may ask, as this entity - WHY, then, does one not recall more often those experiences? The same may be asked of why there is not the remembering of the time when two and two to the entity became four, or when C A T spelled cat. It always did! Ye only became aware of same as it became necessary for its practical application in the experience! So with the application of self's experience in material sojourns. When the necessity arises, as to how, where and in what direction those opportunities were applied, the entity brings those influences to bear in its relationships to daily problems. In the experience as Grossman - there were those interests in the united effort of activity upon plantations, pertaining to soil, pertaining to the variations in the relationships of groups as to various problems that had to do with a united effort on the part of groups as well as in the production and distribution of products of the soil. As this experience was a part of the entity's application in a creative influence, so it becomes an experience or an urge seeking manifestation in the present. Thus the relationships the entity may bear to the products of the soil, and in the manners or means of the distribution of such.
3. (Q) As Dunkerden, in England, during the Second Crusade? (A) This dealt with those problems which had to do with leadership and of ideas. Thus in the present the entity will have much to do with those problems of choice in leaders, in corrective measures in daily problems.
4. (Q) Melchor, of the Moabite people, overseer for Obed? (A) Here again we have a correlating of activities relating to products of the soil, but dealing with problems where individuals of various faiths, various temperaments, were a part of the experience.
2301-4 Page 3
Hence this in a creative influence bears rather the creative force having to do with problems that will be a part of the present experience - dealing with political forces also.
5. (Q) Esdresson, helper in affairs of 'city in hills and plains.' (Persia - Arabia) (A) This was an experience in which again those problems of leadership were involved, not only as to its own self but as to its companionships and its own household. These make for experiences in the present in which those problems will have to do with its own household, its relationships, and its bearings with those it has to deal with in problems having to do with general affairs, as well as of secular interests. These will have their influence in the experience of this entity.
6. (Q) Ax-Telus, son of Ax-Tell, in Atlantis and Egypt? (A) Here we have a combination of influences. Self was an individual of a diffused peoples, in the position not of authority yet attaining and gaining authority through the manner in which there was the conduct of self in relationships to friends and foes, by the natures of the abilities of the entity to cope with the everyday problems. In the present experience the entity will have much to do, or the abilities will have an influence in groups or political parties, or political groups that will have an influence in those problems in the experience of the entity.
7. (Q) Any other incarnations now having an influence? (A) These are the ones, as indicated by the information in the aura chart, that indicate the high points, that indicate problems as well as urges that will enable the entity to cope with the varied problems. Then, the natural consequence of such information - what must the entity do about these urges in the present? There is the recognized fact that changes are coming about, in the relationship of individuals to the local, state and national problems. There are organizations - whether the entity agrees or disagrees with the views of those activities - that are eminent in the affairs of everyone related to labor, the activities of soil, the activities of products of the soil. Then, in the present, analyze and study these problems: Labor as related to the farm and its organization as an organized effort of growers in relationship to local, county, state and national interests. The dairy products, its relationship to problems related to production, to
2301-4 Page 4
distribution, and THIS as an organized product or process for the protection of the general interests of same. Study it as in relationship to the national labor organizations, that the entity may become a factor, a representative in such an organized effort for the protection of these interests. Not in that manner as disregarding the general interests of groups or individuals, but as the protection of same. And the entity will then prepare itself in those ways to become a local, a state, and a national representative in such a work, such an organization, such a group. And these are coming! Whether ye like them or not - understanding them, cooperating in a way to direct and control, is the work of the entity in the present.
8. (Q) What steps should be taken now? (A) As given, first study the problem of labor, organized labor, for the farm, for the dairy, for the production and distribution of the products of each. Fit self to represent local, state and national groups.
9. (Q) Are my present ideas and ideals concerning business principles and practices such as will be of most help, and are they in keeping with my purpose? Discuss comprehensively, giving suggestions as to how I may best apply the correct ideas and ideals in my present business. (A) As has been indicated, these are well, as principles, as ideals. While the study of national interests, local problems, the various groups that will be a part of the organized effort, will necessarily cause some changes in application - as to principles and ideals, hold to the purpose ye have set. Ye CAN, ye will be able to demonstrate same in thy efforts.
10. (Q) In a previous Reading I was advised to purchase a small farm. Having failed to find one, I wish further advice regarding same. (A) Still continue to search for same. Those as in Princess Anne County on the road that leads from Oceana to Princess Anne, that leads from Oceana to Broad Creek. This area, either end of same, would be well to consider. Keep, first, then, these principles: Study organized labor - that as will apply locally, in the problems of the various groups in the County, in the State, in the National organization. Organized labor as relates to dairy products, its relationship to county, to state organization, and to national organizations.

Then, as ye fit yourself, organize same in those principles that are thy basis of thy ideals.
