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, the place and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded 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 Universal Forces, as are manifested in the present entity's sojourn in the earth's plane.
3. In the taking of the position in the present earth's plane, we find the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus in the adverse, yet Saturn in the assistance.
4. In the personalities as are exhibited, then, we find many are as these, though we find will's force gives the greater influence in the earth's plane; yet this not always exercised by this entity; and from the urges we shall see why.
5. Then, we find one that is ever in that position of knowing much better than it does in act.
6. One that has very ennobling purpose in the intents and acts, yet by others' view often falls short of that attempted.
7. In the disposition as manifested, we find one that is easy to wrath, yet does NOT hold grudge.
8. One that gains much by experience, yet is slow in acting, until at least well weighed.
9. One that reasons well from the ennobling influence in the Jupiter's forces.
10. One that will find that the greater joys in earth, were these guided, directed, through will's force, will come to the entity in the next two to three years.

11. One who has found much to trouble same in the love affairs of earth, yet in those as pertain to spiritual forces, were the entity to lead self closer in THOSE, would find in the greater blessings coming to self, through that as may be given to others.
12. One that finds selfishness often in the way of success and of attaining desires, whether of physical, mental, or spiritual, or MATERIAL; yet when reason's forces are applied, through which the entity may guide self, much may be made right.
13. As to the appearances, these we find many in the earth's plane. Many, then, the urges that are latent and have not found expression as yet in the earth's plane, in the present sphere.
14. In the one before this we find in the days when the rule of the foreign countries where being thrown off. The entity then in the assistant to that one who created that known as the American Flag. Then in the name of Jose Roth, and the entity gained and lost in that experience in the earth's plane, yet much of the patriotism, much of the fire of self-reliance, in the present plane is gained as an urge from this experience in the earth's plane. The entity often feels that innate ability in self, but not exercising will's force, falls short at times. Well, then, this influence be used in the present experience in the earth's plane.
15. In the one before this we find in the days of the rule in France, when the wars were with the English peoples. The entity then in the court of Louis 13th, and in the name of Marseale, and the lady in waiting to the court, and the entity gained much in this experience; yet there are some urges that are in the way of being corrected in the present, for the condition as existed as regard to religious thought, the entity in the present keeps this subdued, rather than being brought forth, and this again needs be used or exercised through will's force.
16. In the one before this we find in the days of the Grecian forces, in that day when there was much consternation through that of the religious principles as were being taught. The entity then in that of the student in the household of the teacher in Athens. From same the influence is ever, and will be, good, for grace, modesty, strength within self, strength within mind, strength within spiritual forces, are innate within the entity, that may NOT be eradicated, save through sheer will to deceive self.
17. In the one before this we find in the country when the Nomads brought the destruction to the rule in Croesus' reign. The entity then in that school in which the

destructive forces were brought, and in the massacre did the entity lose the life, and then in the name Mjhel, and the dread as is innate in the entity of firearms and of weapons, from or in the hands of others, and especially of knives or large swords; yet in OWN hands ever ready to use same.
18. In the one before this we find in the Egyptian forces, when the rule was in the change from that when the religious principles were given the entity. The entity then the Princess to the Isis Temple, and gained much in that period. The urge as is seen from this - that love of finery, and of those of the conditions as pertain to those of foreign or of sacred ruins, or arts.
19. As to that which the entity may attain, and how:
20. There are, as is seen, many channels through which the entity may manifest or express self for the greater development in the present earth's plane. First, find that ability to control self, and find self! Then apply self in that way and manner in which the greater urges, as are seen from within, may find self-expression, through the addition to the abilities, either in writing or in playing, for in either may the entity make the success, in the physical, mental and spiritual manner, for once finding self, and the spirit motive force within self to give the expression of same, that others may gain the concept of the creative forces should be the entity's attempt in this earth's plane. Then, finding self, relying on self, and the motive forces from within, much will come in worldly and in spiritual blessings; the successes beginning in present year, after June 21.
21. We are through.
