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: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2530].
3. What a murky cover!
4. In giving the interpretation of the records here, many inferences might be drawn. These we choose to give, in the interpretations of the records, with the desire and purpose that the information may be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfill those purposes for which it entered this present sojourn.
5. The entity does not find life easy. The entity finds that many do not, apparently, understand or comprehend the purposes, the aims, the desires of the entity.
6. Oft the entity finds itself very much alone, and even at times among close friends it is lonesome.
7. These are inclinations and tendencies that may be drawn from the composite urges latent and manifested, not only from the material sojourns but from the urges manifested through the astrological sojourns. Thus these become aspects, taking the form at times of characteristics.
8. The entity is an Uranian as well as an Atlantean. Thus we may find periods when the entity is raised almost to states of ecstasy, and again it is lowered to the very slough of despair when nothing seems to be agreeable and when there is nothing the entity desires to do - neither desiring to be with those about the entity.

9. Hence the entity clothes itself in imaginations, and these may be the escape - if the entity will but look deep within self to find its ideals; and know that in mind, in body, in spiritual forces there must be oneness, with the ideal in Him who may ever be as the companion.
10. For, there are those inclinations, those tendencies towards an outlook upon spirituality and spiritual things that are deep-seated within the entity. Yet so much has appeared to be merely an enamel, or as a cloak for a bad condition, in many with whom the entity has been associated or whom the entity has known, until it brings disturbances and distress.
11. Know, as He has given, it must indeed be that offences come, but woe unto him - or her - by WHOM they come!
12. Then, let thy faith, thy hope, thy understanding be in Him; who faileth not, and whose promises are sure. For, He has given, "If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. If ye keep my commandments, I and the Father will come and abide with thee."
13. With that assurance deep within self, know that thou cannot be, thou art never alone. For He walketh and He talketh with those who love Him and who invite Him into their own confidences, their own purposes, their own hopes and desires. And He giveth life more abundant.
14. As thou lovest thy home, those about thee, thy children, - in that, in them, ye will find that peace, that happiness ye seek.
15. True, there must be outlets. Thou art a deep thinker. Thou hast analyzed - but others rather than self. Look within self. KNOW that the study of self is that which may bring to thee understanding, the helpful forces that will bring harmony and peace as promised in Him. "I give you my peace." Not as the world knoweth peace, but that which is deeper - that gives and asketh not, that loveth and hateth not, that is longsuffering and not jealous; that showeth brotherly love and is not unmindful of those who have lost hope in the material things of the world which fade easily away.
16. Astrologically, then - these urges we find latent and manifested, but these are ONLY tendencies; and all may be met in and with Him - not of thyself, but by taking His love, His promise with thee ye may meet them day by day.
17. Uranus, Venus, Jupiter, Mars - all are a portion of the urges - as also Saturn; though this has its influence that is not so good. The control that self has gotten in part in these directions, the changes have caused disturbance - but may be met.
2530-1 Page 3
18. In Uranus we find the unusual, the love of mystery, the love of that which pertains to spirituality.
19. We find in Venus the love of home, the love of children, the love of those influences that bring about these in thy own activity.
20. From Jupiter there is the universal consciousness, and the ability - when finding self - to WRITE! There is the ability especially for writing children's stories, and ye would find an outlet in the publishing of same with Satterfield and Company; for they are in accord with thy home vibrations.
21. As to urges latent and manifested from earthly sojourns, we find:
22. Before this the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, but more about that area close to Chicago, and then about the southernmost portion of Lake Erie.
23. During the early settlings in the land the entity was among those who sought adventure, and then that of home building. Hence these two influences are combative one to another, in the present experience even the entity has sought experiences that were unusual and yet these have not satisfied.
24. The living within self and its own imaginations, if kept in a constructive manner in which with the studies of the young there may be a lesson, will bring not only material gains but a satisfaction, a contentment, a peace that will bring greater blessings not only to self but to others. For, know that in giving, in being a channel of blessings to others, ye bring the greater joy to thy own self.
25. The entity in that sojourn was among those driven from Dearborn who settled eventually nigh unto the land of the present sojourn, in a northernmost portion of Ohio and portions of South Michigan. Such were the activities or the journeyings of the entity. Through that experience the entity became a teacher, eventually, and a student of nature.
26. Thus we find interests in these directions in the present - the love of the outdoors, the listening to the voices of the night, the various phases of activities in the skies all bring something of a beauty to the entity not understood by others.
27. The name then was Lila Bosswane.
28. Before that the entity was in the Persian and Arabian land, among the natives in the household of the leader of teacher. Thus with the building of the 'city in the hills,' and the acceptance of the activities by the tribesmen through that experience, the entity became a helper in the
2530-1 Page 4
activities of hospitalization (as would be termed today), and in the care for those of the various lands.
29. Hence the entity as a linguist, a very good student of human nature, aided much in bringing harmony to the various groups and varied beliefs - under the directions of the teacher in the 'city in the hills and the plains.'
30. Then in the name Nadon, the entity gained.
31. In the present the entity may gain by the application of those tenets as were a part of the experience through that sojourn - of turning within for that awakening of the spiritual influences in the life and in the activity of the entity.
32. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were those entering from the Atlantean land.
33. The entity then was a priestess in the Atlantean land, in the house or the activities of the Law of One.
34. Fear brought to the entity the determinations to aid in persuading its peoples to journey to the Egyptian land.
35. There were the abilities in the spiritual thought alone, from the oft communion of the entity with the spiritual forces in that period.
36. Thus, though there were many hardships experienced in the journeying from Atlantis to Egypt, and through the turmoils that arose among its own peoples - with the return of the Priest and the unifying of the activities, the entity joined with the preparations of bodies and individuals for the new race.
37. Thus the entity may find in self in the present, by the deeper meditations, the outlet through the attempts of stories, children's stories for the children's hour, the children's imagination, the children's associations with nature in all its forms. These will aid the entity in finding self. These are the mission, these should be the purpose, these should be the hopes of the entity through the present sojourn.
38. The name then was Assa-Meleon.
39. As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
40. First, find self. Look within. Know thy ideal. Love justice, mercy, peace, and pursue it.
41. WRITE for children.
42. Do these things by His might - not of self - and ye will find happiness, honor, and those things that bring real joy in living.
43. Ready for questions.
44. (Q) What is the purpose of this incarnation? (A) Read what has just been indicated.
45. We are through for the present.
