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. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3309].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records here, these we chose with the desire and purpose to be of a helpful influence to the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfill the purposes for which it entered this sojourn.
4. We would magnify the virtues, we would minimize the faults - as should be the tenets of the entity in its dealings with others.
5. It is indicated that there have been and will be unusual experiences in the material sojourn of this entity; some that to many are unbelievable, and yet the entity has passed through same - and remained near normal mentally as well as physically.
6. In interpreting the records here, we find Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus in the experience of the entity. Thus a very changeable, a very active individual; and - dependent upon the application - a very worthwhile experience for the entity through this material sojourn. Extremes have been and will be a part of the experience. But for the entity with its disappointments, its sorrows, its shames at times, there should be applied those same tenets in self as in relationships to others - as He who is the way gave, "Neither do I condemn thee - go and sin no more." These

should be kept first and foremost in the experience of the entity, and in applying the life, the experiences of life one with another, learn that as long as there is life there is hope, there is opportunity. Stop, consider, listen to the promptings deep within self. Know that He, Father-God, is mindful of thee, but the very fact that ye still have the opportunity in self to know thyself, and to desire and to hope and to wish for those changes as should come into thine own experience, that ye may never condemn thyself. If He condemns thee not, why condemn thyself? And if He condemns not, it matters not what others may think.
7. Then apply in thy experience, in thy relationships, in thy associations one with another, knowing - as He has given - "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these my children, ye do it unto me." Today, as ye will hear His voice, then turn, know in whom ye believe; knowing that He is able to forgive sin in the earth, in the mental, yea in the hereafter. For, even to that one on the Cross He gave, "Today thou shalt be with Me in paradise."
8. So with thee in thy seeking, in thy own stumbling manner listen to that voice within.
9. Apply thyself, then, to organized charity work; that wherein ye may be active in thine own faith [Roman Catholic] that thou hast professed. Be not unfaithful to that. For He is Lord of all. If ye will do it, ye will find peace, harmony, happiness within thine experience in this earth.
10. Apply thyself, then, and let thy prayer oft be, in thine own words, not merely as rote, but living, being, as this: LORD, BE THOU NEAR TO ME. THINE HUMBLE SERVANT SEEKETH THY VOICE, THY DIRECTION. KEEP ME NEAR THEE, EVEN AS THOU HAST PROMISED - IF I ASK IN THY NAME, YE WILL ANSWER. THEN HEAR ME, THAT I - TOO - MAY DRAW NEAR TO THEE AND BE BLESSED BY THEE.
