1. GC: 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, and the 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. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this.

2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, with the relation with Universal Forces, as are manifested in the personalities of the entity in the present earth's plane, with those urges as are shown and exhibited through sojourn in earth's plane, with the abilities, and that to which the entity may attain, and how, in the present earth's plane.

3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find the entity under the influence of Mercury, with the assistance in Jupiter, with an affliction in Venus and in Neptune, with benevolent influences of Uranus, adverse in Saturn and Mars, with Venus at times.

4. Then, we see, irrespective of will and will forces as manifest in the present earth's plane, these as personalities of this entity:

5. One that has many ennobling influences over others.

6. One ever governed in self by the reason, or by mental, and the benevolent, or the exacting influence in self, doing right for Right's sake.

7. One that has that influence in the lives of those whom it (this entity) may contact to bring those forces of good in their lives.

8. One generous in nature, even to own self's undoing.

9. One that finds in those whom are in the influence of Mercury, with Jupiter, GOOD in their lives for this entity.

10. One that finds those with Mars and Venus brings detrimental conditions for this entity.

11. One whose life in the early stages brought to self that self-reliance, in that which brought good to peoples for the good given.

12. One that is well balanced in mental forces.

13. One that every condition regarding home, and building home, is upmost, and should be kept utmost and upmost in the life.

14. One whose influence with young goes far.

15. One that has love, especially, toward those whom are dependent upon the assistance of others.

16. One, then, of matronly tendencies, and would make, or have made of self, a good nurse.

17. One that will bring in the lives of many GOOD.

18. One that will's force has been combated against, through many stages, many conditions, in the present sphere.

19. One who had best gain control of self's will in the present sphere.

20. One that exercises that help to those who are dependent, those who need succor, those who need advice, those who are needy, in the sense of physical or spiritual needs.

21. One that loves those conditions that bring joy and happiness in a normal manner; NOT an excessive of any force, yet one that finds excess in sorrow and in gladness in the present life.

22. As to that which the entity brings, this will be seen in urges from the positions as were in the earth's plane, for these were many, and carry much of that hidden forces as are in the present entity, that has not found self expression as yet, but as may be seen will yet find an expression in the love that enters in the life in this present plane, and through that aid of one strengthening the entity, bring much joy, much happiness, to many, and peace and quiet to the entity itself.

23. In the appearances:

24. In the one before this, we find in that day of Louis the 14th, in France. The entity then in one of the daughters of that ruler, and one that, with the disappointments in the conditions surrounding the entity, at the age of twenty, took that vow that set the entity as the recluse. Then in the name Lois, or Louisa, and the entity gave much in the latter portion of that sojourn, and the urge in the present sphere from this is that of the care that is felt necessary for the strong to give to the weak, and for the love sought in the life, that has never yet been satisfied.

25. In the one before this, we find in the Grecian forces, when the entity then in that of Pyra gave to those of the second rules towards the drama in that land, by that sex.

The entity then lost in that plane, for the self-aggrandizement of the fame brought to self, made self exaltation at the time. The urge, as we see then in the present, that of the dislike in others that would make self of high estate; yet the ability to hold the tongue and not a "back-biter."

26. In the one before this, we find in the Nomad country, when the Kings of the now Arabian overran the Persian, or Achaia [?] land, and the entity then in that school where the destruction of many of the peoples in the Persian rule were destroyed when the Nomad took possession of that land, suffering then under the spear, and the entity then in the name Vasti, and in that entity, the forces gave much as the assistant to the peoples in that day. The urge as is seen from this, the love of travel, the love of study, the love of knowing the inmost impelling forces in others.

27. In the one before this, in that land where the peoples came as the representatives of those that would make the lands secure against the beasts of the fields, and the fowls of the air, or the animals of the air, in the second rule in the Atlantean period. The entity then in the name Ohula. Then helping in that of the assistant to the entertainers of those people so gathered. The daughter then to the ruler. In the urge as is gained from this, that of the secret forces of counsel to many.

28. As to that which the entity may attain in the present earth's plane:

29. First, find in self that the service of self is acceptable to the Giver of all good gifts. Then give to those who are in the way of needing that help that this entity may give, and build WITH THAT ENTITY the home, the place, the conditions that will give help to self, and aid and succor to others.

30. Then, HOME BUILDING for the entity. The forces as are applied in the entity are of that as give cheer to others. Then build same in self, that the reflection of Him may be magnified through self. Ready for questions.

31. (Q) When will this entity be married and have a home? (A) October. We are through.
