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 [2613].
3. In giving an interpretation of the records, there is much from which to choose.
4. This choice of that as may be given from the records is made with the desire that this information may be a helpful experience to those who have the care, the opportunity of encouraging and assisting in the development of this entity; so that the entity may be enabled to fill those purposes for which it sought expression in this particular period.
5. As is seen from an analysis of the entity's abilities, it would be considered by some as an old soul. In this particular reference, it indicates long periods between the appearances or manifestations in the earth.
6. Hence the peculiar or rather unusual manner in which the entity approaches all phases of human experience; and especially that as related to the spiritual manifestations in the earth. For, there had not been the physical appearance since those periods when as a child the entity saw those activities in the days of the early church (as it is called); or in the period when there were the persecutions of those influences that brought into being the teachings and the coordination in activities of the companions of the Master in the earth.
7. Thus the greater part of the present analysis would be
2613-1 Page 2
directed to those who have the care, the welfare of this entity.
8. Early in the experience there will be the attraction to the opposite sex. It will require a great deal of tact, of discretion, of teaching on the part of those who would acquaint the entity with the relations of sex in the early portion of its life, as related one to another.
9. There are those abilities as the musician. Hence the trainings in the present should be directed to the preparations either as a gospel singer or as a definite work in missionary fields of activity. These should NOT be by force, but knowing the abilities there should be the aid, the counsel, the direction in ALL forms of service and activity that would bring into the entity's experience those influences which would enable the entity to fill such service, such activities in this material plane.
10. As there are the understandings of those about the entity, who are responsible for its entrance into this present plane - the awakening of the consciousness of the spirit of truth, of the Christ within, is that necessary in each soul.
11. This aroused, then let there be counsel, guidance, tenets, daily application of those tenets in the dealings with those with whom the entity comes in contact.
12. Let the training, the developments be in those fields, with those warnings kept in mind as indicated; not as something held over the entity but as something to be understood, appreciated, comprehended in the experience of the entity.
13. As to the appearances in the earth:
14. There have been long interims between the incarnations, which is indicated by the manner of approach, the manner in which the entity takes hold of, remembers, visions, sees, hears, feels the experiences.
15. Hence it may be said that the entity is never quite at ease in convention. Then, all the more warning as to the relationships with the opposite sex.
16. Before this the entity was the sister of Mark and Rhoda; hence acquainted with those persecutions that followed the activities in the Holy City; acquainted with and aroused the more by those experiences extolled by the church when Peter was released from prison.
17. Hence all forms of healing, all forms of church activities are at ease with the entity. Its beliefs, its hopes should be encouraged; but fit them into the daily activities in such a way that they do not become stumblingstones instead of steppingstones.

18. In that experience the entity suffered bodily, yet in spirit, in purpose, in mind gained throughout. For, those principles, those tenets, those hopes aroused through those periods of consciousness and of awareness, remain as the guiding lights, the guiding influences in the present experience of the entity.
19. The name then was Mille.
20. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those journeys of the peoples from the Egyptian land again into the Promised Land.
21. The entity was among the children of promise, and acquainted with the laws, the activities, the principles as pertained to the service in and about the tabernacle.
22. In its activities the entity was among those who aided in the embroidering and in the working with those in the preparations of the priestly garments.
23. Hence the innate tendencies for the entity to bedeck itself especially with things where there are dangles, fringes, bells or the like as a part of the dress. These will remain. Hence do not allow principles that are the tenets of its beliefs to become ritualistic and not spiritual in the purport and intent. Thus the warnings again to those about the entity.
24. The name then was Ehtell.
25. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods of rebellion and restoration.
26. There the entity was among those active in the services in the Temple of Sacrifice, aiding those in their manner of approach for preparations in body - as well as in practical applications - for the varied services of the ecclesiastical nature, as would be termed today.
27. As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
28. We find that as a teacher, a leader, a minister, a director of preparations for active service, there may be the greatest expression for the entity in this experience.
29. Be mindful as to the warnings indicated, and as to the outlets through which there may be the greater development for the entity.
30. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother, thru Mr. [370] " " Ass'n file
