1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [2778] born September 22, 1912, in Carnegie, Penna.; and the earthly existence of this entity as Azilee, in Dearborn. You will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as [2778].
3. In that experience in Dearborn the entity then was the offspring of those that have been indicated, [[1523] and [4930]] during their early associations together - and when there were those necessities for the escape from Dearborn, the entity was quite young but was taken by the natives.
4. Thus the entity felt itself as being abandoned, though through the experience later came in contact with parts of the family, though in quite a different guise and activity.
5. For the entity through that experience grew up in those associations with which there had been much of the environ of its early experience, or at the time of its birth.
6. The entity became a barnstormer (as would be called in the present), or an entertainer from one settlement or encampment in various portions of the land to another. The entity came East, after there had been those quietings of the uprising which had caused the evacuation of Dearborn by many of those - as of the entity's family - that settled in Virginia, and in portions of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
7. So, it was through these areas, and in what later became Fredericksburg and the settlements in the central and northern portions of Philadelphia, that there were the activities of the entity; principally as the entertainer, going from one portion of the land to the other through the then known settlements.

8. In the experience the entity gained and lost; gained in that which may be and is applicable in the present - patience. This needs to be not only exercised with self, as the entity has gained much in this direction, but in the application of same in associations with others. For, as is meted to others ye mete to thy Maker.
9. The entity did not live to be OLD in the period, but in the latter portion of the experience settled in those activities that brought a home building.
10. And these are as the dreams of the entity. And, if there will be that consistency in the application - physically and mentally - of those suggestions we have indicated for the entity, there may be brought those abilities physically, mentally, spiritually, to become - as indicated - a helpful experience in the lives of all with whom the entity may associate from time to time.
11. Keep that patience, that faith, that knowledge of the Creative Forces as may manifest through Him, in those activities in dealings with others - that manifest brotherly love, patience, kindness, gentleness.
12. And we will find these may contribute to the welfare of all with whom the entity may come in contact.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) How did I lose in that period? (A) Willfulness!
15. (Q) What were the hardships that weren't met? (A) Willfulness; that is, the use of self and its activities in the satisfying or gratifying of conditions for the moment, or for the time being, see?
16. (Q) How was I handicapped? (A) Not handicapped - only by the lack of that environment for which the entity longed; and circumstance made for more of this than the willfullness on the part of others. For, the entity being taken by the savages, to many the entity was as a savage, yet to itself only using same to attain or gain the desires for the moment for itself through the experience.
17. (Q) What were the circumstances that prevented my mother's taking proper care of me? (A) As just indicated, those wherein the savage TOOK the body - or kept the body from those associations with the parent, or parents.
18. (Q) How can I gain a better understanding, so as not be so often distressed and uncertain of [1523]? Why do I feel this way? (A) As indicated, there was ever the feeling within self of

being deserted. Have you been disappointed? We may overcome it, but the hurt remains! And this is of such a nature that it requires consistency, patience, kindness, - and the patience not merely with self but with others, and that of spiritual brotherly love.
19. (Q) Are my ideas and ideals right, in order to fulfill my purpose in life? (A) Who is to question ANYONE'S ideas and ideals? Set thy ideals in the living way, in the Christ. And let thine own life magnify that in thy dealings with others. These are the basic forces. As ye coordinate and cooperate in such, and apply same in the experience, these become creative in thine own life.
20. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Be not impatient with self nor with others. Be patient, be gentle, be kind. Keep the faith.
