1. GC: You will have before you the body of [2888], who was born June 29, 1900, at St. Mary's, Ohio, 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 entity here and its relation in the present sphere with the universal forces as are exhibited in the physical body in the present earth's plane. We find the body took its position in the present sphere from that of Jupiter, with the influence of Venus and of Uranus. Hence we have in this body, while afflicted with those conditions in Saturn, the influences that make a very remarkable personage in the present plane, for we have one that truth, the ennobling influences, that are latent in every act of the entity. One also that the truth is paramount with the entity. One that the love of home and of connections are always in the actions of the body, yet there enters some of the adverse conditions through these, those especially through whose influence is in Saturn's forces. These are rather of relations than immediate family's.
3. One who will give much influence in the rule to others, when guided, guarded, and directed in the proper channel.
4. One sensitive of nature, yet noble in thought and act. One timid in manner, yet one capable of reaching heights in expressing that in which the body is well founded in and believes the truth of.
5. One that has little to do with intrigue or underhand operations. One that thinks less of self should [he and] they allow themselves to be mislead, or drawn into such intrigues. Hence the purpose must ever be that never of self-condemnation, but rather relying on those elements that

would make the sure and the paramount issue of life. Then one that should not place too much confidence in others. While this is not of a fault, yet the nature of this entity finding there was fault loses faith in self. Hence the greater forces should be exercised in placing that faith, that confidence, that purpose, in Him, the Giver of All Good and Perfect Gifts.
6. As to the abilities of the entity in the present earth's plane, with the ennobling influences, with the forces as lead the higher elements as an exhibition of the forces manifest, these should be, and would be, made a success in following that of real estate salesman, and this may be accomplished through some with whom this entity once was associated in times past, as we shall see.
7. This, we find, would give (that is, by being connected with these physical forces in the earth's plane) that of the necessary means to have the desire in the development of knowledge to which the entity may apply same. Ever keeping, however, this: Let the trust, let the faith be in Him (not an individual). In this we will find the greatest development in the present earth's plane.
8. We find the filial and marital relations should begin in the twenty-eighth year, and that these would bring some relations that will give of greater abilities to the entity in the present plane.
9. As to the appearances:
10. In the one before this we find in the days when the settling of the present country was in its relation to the English forces, and the entity then entered in that service of him who settled in what is now Baltimore, and was in that household and was the secretary to Lord Baltimore in Maryland. In the present sphere we find this personality exhibited in this body: Able, capable and desirous of getting the least detail of every proposition presented for this mind's investigation, knowing the minutia of every proposition, whether of a mental, of a spiritual, or of a physical or material condition.
11. In the one before this we find in the days when the rebellion was in the hand of the king, the first king, in Israel, and we find the entity then the armor bearer to Jonathan [See [4219] and [221] Saul], and in the present plane we find this personality: That of the innate desire to defend that which is a principle in the mind and heart of the body. In this relation we would find these experiences which would develop this entity in present earth plane would be under the influence of him who represented that entity then, for it is in this sphere at present.

12. In the one before this we find in the Arabian forces, as is now, when the Chaldeans then brought the forces together in the beginning of the building of the tower that afterward became the rule, or site of the ruler, who afterward subdued and ascended that throne. In that day the entity was then again in the service of him who conducted the rule, and was the secretary, or advisor (as was then) to the ruler, Uzhld (as would be called now. Then, in Chaldeans being called Jule - Sule). In this personality we find again the abilities to view the perspective valuation of any condition, whether the material property, land, objects or individuals' worth. Hence the abilities to compile these two forces, and with that of Jonathan's bring about the success in the real estate forces of to-day.
13. In the one before this we find in the Peruvian forces, when the now called Incal set the rule in that land, and the entity then the Builder of the Conduits - through the Mountains. In then the entity known as Ougldhtptht. In this we find the personality gives that innate desire to find the source through which all forms of conduits are prepared in the present day, and is especially interesting to the present mental forces, yet has never been made a part. May be applied, however, in later life in the form of drainage to lands.
14. Then, to use and apply this as given, keep first the faith in Him, the giver of all good and perfect gifts, knowing that the physical body is the temple of the living God, and present same holy and acceptable unto Him, which is but a reasonable service; for in service to man the greater service is offered to God.
15. We are through.
