Time of Reading ... Road, 3:45 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., New York.
1. GC: You will have before you the information which has been given through this channel for [2779], born March 10, 1931, in New York City. You will answer the questions, as I ask them, concerning the information in his life readings of July 7, 1942 and March 13, 1943; also if possible the questions which the entity himself has submitted.
2. EC: Yes, we have the information that has been given and indicated for this entity, [2779], July 7, 1942 and March 13, 1943.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Just what in meant in the March 13th reading by "applications" being made to better fulfill purposes? What applications, and what purposes are referred to? (A) If there is reference made to the information indicated in the life experiences of the entity, it will be seen that there are those latent and manifested urges of the entity; and that the entity should be given the opportunity to study along those lines indicated there. Then as the unfoldment comes, choices are to be made by the entity as to that course, or which course, the entity would pursue.
Knowledge, then, and application of the tenets of the law as given by the lawgiver, and as to how these apply in the relationships with men day by day. The abilities of the entity respecting that which may be made a condition in the experience, as a director, a teacher. Then something as pertains to pedagogy or rules, regulations, as pertains to the human behavior. These will require study. These will require application. No application of such, no outline has been made for the entity to study or make application. When such is done, information that may be helpful or beneficial may be indicated for the entity.
This information, as should be understood, is not to take the place of the will of an entity, but to be used as a helpful influence. But the application must be made by the

individual entity, as it will learn, as it will experience, as it studies, as it applies that law - even as that last admonition: "Think not as to who would descend from heaven or come from over the sea to tell you this or that, for Lo it is within thine own consciousness," and needs only be stimulated to activity BY application of the entity in relationship to those influences of directions that have been indicated.
Also mechanical things may play a part, as they answer to that something within self that may give the impetus for greater activity. Is it to remain merely a hobby, or is it to play a part in the experiences or the application of the entity in its relationship to things, conditions and peoples? The ENTITY should choose, but first by APPLYING self in those directions, see?
5. (Q) What special difficulties should he be warned of? (A) Putting proper emphasis on each phase of human and personal and physical relationships. All should be prompted by the desire to fulfillthe purpose of a chosen ideal. Ideal spiritual or mental or physical; not one without the other, for the physical should be the result of the spiritual and mental coordinated by practical application in the material world.
Then the only thing to be warned of - keep self well balanced.
6. (Q) What languages should the entity study? (A) What does it choose to study? What is necessary? To what does it intend to apply self? To teaching? Then there will be many. If it applies itself to the direction as in lecturing, there may be several. Those that will enable the entity to better interpret in its experience and in its relationships to others, that which will better assist in fulfilling the chosen direction of activity. English, French, Spanish, Hebrew, AND Greek.
7. (Q) May it be given at this time how the entity was previously associated with the following: (A) [Interrupting] These had best be paralleled with the experiences that have been or may be given for each of these, in their journeys through the material sojourns. Just as may be seen from the given periods of both the father and mother as intimated in the experience with the grandfather. These, then, indicate the influence that has been and may be wielded, by the use each made of the SPIRITUAL life through that particular sojourn. What was the carnal life becomes karma, or law. Spiritual

interpretations of the lessons as may be gained are from the spiritual law.
8. We are through for the present.
