1. LS: You will have before you the body of [2723], who was born November 1, 1898, in Forrest City, Maine, and you will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the 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, 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 body here and those relations with the entity in the present sphere of the universal forces, and the universe, with its relations to the entity in its development through earth's plane.
3. This entity in the present plane we find took its position from that of Mercury, with the influences of Jupiter and of Uranus, with some adverse conditions with Mars. Hence in the present sphere we find these conditions in the urge of the individuality of the entity:
4. One that has the ability to study in the realm of the mental.
5. One slow to wrath, yet awful when he does get mad. In the development in this, however, we find the entity has often (more often than otherwise) used discretion even in the wrath. This in the present plane the greater development in the body, as will be seen.
6. One that we find is in that development where the greater influences in the present plane are from the mental forces. That is, the urge is to use the abilities of the mental rather than the physical. Not that the entity is lacking in this sphere, yet the development shows the urge to be in this sphere.
7. One that with the adverse influences finds that those conditions as regarding other things of secular nature brings the troubles, worries, to the body.

8. One, then, that has abilities, yet lacking in the smaller affairs, especially pertaining to detail work regarding material affairs.
9. One that in the present plane finds the development in that sphere where the good to others gives the greater development.
10. One that within the present sphere will have great amount of monies to care for. In the adverse forces that will come then in 1929, care should be taken lest this, without the more discretion in small things, be taken from the entity.
11. In the development in present plane for the good, we find the entity in the correct urge, yet should be where the mental will be applied more than the physical. Rather in that capacity of the lecturer or demonstrator than operator. In this we find the mental in that sphere of development.
12. As to the appearances in the earth plane:
13. We find the one before this in the beginning of the settlements in the country just south of last place of birth, and then in that region where the Penn's settled in the country. The entity then the physician to the first people in the Quaker settlements, then in the name Robert Baron. In the present sphere we find the personality of this is shown. The entity, though capable, often is silent when he could speak but for fear of opinions remains silent.
14. In the one before this we find in the French rule in the early changes in that country, when first became the France, after the destruction of the settlements of the Gauls, and in that sphere we find the entity then in the work of the peasant in that sphere. Then we find the name in that of Shule. In this personality we find in the present that of the love of the open and the beauties as are seen in nature.
15. In the one before this we find in the forces under that of the first settlers in the south country now known as Persia. Then in the nomad country and the entity then the leader of one of those groups. Then known as Hudd, and in the present sphere we find this urge: The desire for others to acknowledge the superiority of the entity in those connections where rule is necessary, WHEN CORRECT.
16. In the one before this we find in the first settlers in now the end of the Indian rule, then in that of the keeper of the records. In this we find the entity then in Jute, and in the present sphere we find the entity partakes of that desire to be the help to all.
17. In the manner then that this may be of help, let the entity know that in each of these appearances, save in the French, has been a development in the earth's sphere, and

the greater development coming in the present, for the entity finds how to control self through will, with the understanding of self, and in keeping this we will find the entity will develop to that plane wherein the knowledge as given to others in his life's work will be beneficial for many, many, years to come.
18. We are through.
