1. GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how:
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, called [3020].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these we choose from same with the desire and purpose that this may be a helpful influence in the experience of the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfillthose purposes for which it entered this present sojourn.
4. These we choose from the records with the desire that the entity would magnify the virtues and minimize the faults; this in self as well as in its judgements of others.
5. For, remember the law - it is with what measure ye mete that it is measured to thee again.
6. This we find as a composite of the astrological and material sojourns, but without respect to what the entity has done about same:
7. One that is very careful of its details; whether this is pertaining to that demanded of others or of self. This at times has been carried to extremes, in both directions; which has made for hardships where such should not necessarily have been the outcome.
8. One that is very fond of music, the harmonies of music, the ability of music to span time and space; the ability to soothe even that of loneliness, discouragement or the like. It is not necessary that the entity play himself to enjoy same, though the entity may make such an outlet for itself.
9. In its ability as a writer the entity has the ability to give description in an unusual way and manner.
3020-1 Page 2
10. One interested in the unusual, out of the ordinary; and these innately to the entity indicate some special gift to such individuals as may manifest or demonstrate such.
11. Astrologically we find Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus as the influences indicated in the manifested activities of the entity's experience.
12. Thus one of a very high-minded individual entity.
13. One with the desire for information, or knowledge.
14. One that considers the mass as well as self; and this at times has been to the extremes.
15. The ability as the researcher into mysteries enables the entity to write, or the entity would be able to write, a good mystery play, or drama of that nature.
16. One also, as in Saturn, that finds many varied changes. These may have to do with material, mental, or even spiritual outlooks.
17. As to the activities in the earth - these have been quite varied. While all may not be indicated here, these we choose because they indicate not only the periods where definite change was encountered as to the soul or purpose of the entity but the manner in which there was the choice of self as a vehicle for expression in many ways.
18. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, when there was the recruiting of groups under that leader who aided so efficiently in the Revolution.
19. The entity was among those that in the present would be termed the intelligence officers, associated with LaFayette.
20. The entity then was active in the land of the present sojourn. Hence certain definite parts of the land should be of particular interest. And the entity should find in or near Williamsburg, Virginia, things and conditions that should prove of especial interest to the entity. For, there an "affair" changed the whole course of the entity's activities through that experience - in the name then Jean DeLarquen.
21. The entity gained, the entity retarded, the entity gained. For, as indicated from the beginning in this experience for this entity, to know to do and to do it not becomes sin. To have the universal consciousness of the righteous attitude of others as well as for self is most commendable in the entity, and this is one of those virtue of self that should ever be magnified.
22. And, as indicated as to the abilities of the mind in reasoning or analyzing individuals or groups, these should prove of a helpful influence in the experience and open a greater opportunity for the expression of self in this material plane.

23. Before that the entity was in the South African land. There the entity was among those who attempted the early settlings in that part of the land.
24. Hence as the groups, or as a member of a group that would be called the daring peoples of the East, the entity attained to great detail - both as to things and as to individuals, as well as to groups and masses, and that having to do with the phases of man's experience and his relation and interrelation one with another in a whole land.
25. From those activities there we find the present abilities as a linguist, as a student of psychological subjects, as well as of the spiritual realm. The application of the entity to such may bring some question as to the relative relationships to morality, to the choosing to be of a help to others. And the entity may aid here in that direction.
26. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were those activities under the new King, where the authority had been vested in the Priest.
27. The entity was among those who were a contributing force in the land to which the Priest was banished; enabling the pressures and the desires of others to make this an interesting and a helpful experience for this entity.
28. Thus we find the entity acted as an emissary to the emissaries of that particular land; that is: As there were progresses made in the various lands, the entity journeyed from one group to another, or from one organized state or nation to the other, to aid not only in keeping contact and contract with them but enabling them to prepare the greater activities for others in their individual service.
29. Thus we will find the entity a patient, long suffering individual. But when it gets mad, it gets mad all over! and has little or nothing to do with the sources of such a disturbance.
30. The name then was Istah-Muel.
31. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those activities in which there was the destruction of the isles.
32. The entity chose to remain, and was destroyed with those upheavals.
33. Fears of various natures arise in the experience of the entity when there is the apparent development in this or that phase of its relationships to others, to circumstances or conditions that arise; and the entity doubts self.
34. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
35. DO write on those varied subjects pertaining to those in
3020-1 Page 4
authority, whether by choice or by heritage, AND their relationships to the middle man.
36. Thus, as the entity may find in those modes of expression, whether in teaching or in ministering to others, there is the right ground upon which ye stand as to thy concept of the living force or God.
37. Ready for questions.
38. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file le
