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. EC: (In going back over the years from the present - " - '33 - '34 changes - '23 what anxieties - '13 - 1903 - '93 - yes, Star Bacon would make a good sign or seal for the body.")
3. In interpreting the records as we find them here for this entity, we would choose from these that which may be helpful in the influence of the entity if there is kept that attitude of magnifying the virtues and minimizing the faults in others as well as in self. Yet never think more highly of self than one ought, ever using not others as thy guide in analyzing thy purposes or intents, remembering ever that as ye forgive ye may be forgiven. As ye treat others, the way ye treat thy fellow men ye treat thy God, whether in spite or in love, whether in jealousy or condonance, whether in affection or spite.
4. Thus the pattern ever should be not merely the tenets instigated, manifested, that were ever a part of the manifestation of the man Jesus, but as demonstrated and taught by the Christ and His associates and followers in the earth. Sow ever seeds of the spirit of truth. For each entity, each soul is responsible for that place where it is. Then let thy light so shine as to be ever as a light unto those who sit in darkness.
5. In giving those experiences of the entity in the earth, and the other dimensions through which the entity may pass
3350-1 Page 2
that give innate and manifested experiences:
6. We find influences in Mars, in Mercury, in Jupiter, in Venus. Thus the entity has a very active mind, ever setting up standards for groups or individuals or for those activities of those with whom the entity may be associated; not in a dictatorial manner but rather as one that would be helpful in such.
7. Then the entity is the natural teacher, the natural director of certain characters of activities, and especially - even in the present - of that which has to do with the outdoors. And as we find, even in the present, if the entity would apply itself to physical education for the teenage, especially girls we wold find not only harmony within self but a channel through which the entity may shine out as an example, in which many in all walks of life may be aided.
8. Remember, in such a program to include first spiritual education, next physical - that of exercise, that of proper dress, proper tone of hair, proper care of hair, proper care of body, proper activities that will bring out the better attributes of each individual. For all may have heads and eyes, feet and arms, and a body, yet all may put them to different usages - but all to the glory of God. For God, the Lord thy God is ONE!
9. Physical, mental, spiritual education, social activities all should be to one purpose. Not too much of the satisfying of the emotions but that the body as the temple of the living God may be a more beautiful place for thine own worship as well as those that may be directed by the activities of the entity.
10. In Mercury we find the mental ability, in Jupiter the universal consciousness, in Venus art, music, reading. All of these should become a part of the entity's activity. Just as in the physical, train those of various temperaments as to what they should read, as to what they would do about their abilities as home makers, as clerks, as secretaries or stenographers or whatever the choice, that there should be decorum in their activity as befits one using such activities - to the glory of one purpose, and that purpose not self but using such abilities to the glory of God - and then they will ever be to the honor and to the helpfulness of self.
11. Those are the tenets, the truths that the entity should apply in its activities.
12. As to the experiences in the earth, while there have been quite a few, not all may be given, but these that indicate the activities in the earth and how these may apply
3350-1 Page 3
to the experience of the entity in the present sojourn.
13. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, in and about what is now called the Mohawk Valley, when there were the earth settlers in the land.
14. The entity was among those in the forts that wee set up in various places for the physical protection, and the entity gave much spiritual and moral protection by the application of the tenets and truths that the entity sought, that the entity had been told, and that the entity experienced as being needed for the developing lives of strong-bodied, long-waisted mothers, while other physical conditions were considered for those better fitted in other activities.
15. Thus did the entity contribute much, as Molly Schultzs. The entity gained, and may yet add much to that which may be most beneficial to young people in their preparations for activities through their material sojourns in the earth.
16. Before that the entity was in the Norse land when there were those expansions, in the periods of what would now be called the low lands and portions of France that were being settled by the Norse people.
17. The entity then was among those that journeyed with those who desired to make new environs and new settlings.
18. Thus innately the entity is ever desiring to try something new. This is well, provided the basis of such is builded upon truth. For truth in any clime is ever the same - it is law. And love is law, law is love. Love is God, God is Love. It is the universal consciousness, the desire for harmonious expressions for the good of all, that is the heritage in man, if there is the acceptance of the way and manner such may be applied, first in the spiritual purpose and then in the mental application, and the material success will be pleasing to any.
19. Then in the name Olzon, the entity was one who spread the gospel of the freedom of body, the freedom of woman to choose for herself rather than being dictated to by her elders before being of age to consider choice as to companionship for self.
20. Thus hardships in material things, and yet determination - that is a part of the experience of the entity in the present. And that it feels and is assured within self answers to what it has set as an ideal, in social or moral, or even in economic activities, the entity forges towards it - irrespective of what may be the consequences from others that disagree.
21. This is not to this entity hardheadedness; rather is sureness, which is much better than being stubborn without
3350-1 Page 4
knowing why.
22. Before that the entity was in the Promised Land when there were those entering under the leadership of Joshua. The entity saw those changes wrought by the characters in the leader Moses and the general or leader Joshua. These are not often stressed, and yet if analyzed in the experiences of individuals, as to the activities of such a leader in times when definite changes occurred, one may judge well from such choices made as to what might be the own principle in choosing directions, coming under varied environs. And some to whom this will come will experience such shortly.
23. In the choice then, let it be ever according to that principle set by Joshua, and yet never given full expression to - although being a man chosen of God, spoken to directly in those preparations for activities of man among themselves in the creation of law and order, morals and health, and relationships with others as ever set forth by Joshua - "Others may do as they may, but for me and my house, we will serve the living God." Not a dead past, but a living God. For as He gave, He is God of the living, not of the dead.
24. Then stir not up nor look back upon those things that have been. Use those rather as steppingstones. Even that which has been as a stumbling stone set aright in thy life, may be the prop for the next step in thy experience.
25. There the entity was among those that became as an associate or companion of one set in authority in the temple. Thus those activities pertaining to whether this or that moral code, this or that routine, this or that secular force as applied in various groups today, oft become a large question mark before the entity. Know, as has been given, God looks on the heart, not on the outward appearance. A rose by any other name may be just as sweet. So may an individual by any name. What is the purpose? The church, the God-force, is within self; not in the name that may be added by man. That oft becomes the stumbling stone to man. For to such there is limitation, and who can limit God? Who would limit the Master? Who would limit self, in God's direction?
26. In the experience then the entity gained, for that applied in the study and the analyzing of these two Biblical characters may be well for the entity in the present, not only in the applying to self. But first to self, then to those whom the entity would direct in their activities in a physical education.
27. The entity could play a pretty good game of tennis at one time. Keep it up. Teach others to play also.
3350-1 Page 5
28. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods when thee were turmoils and strifes, when there were rebellions that brought about many changes.
29. The entity was among those of the groups of the Natives that followed very slowly into the acceptance of the activities of the Native who led the rebellion. But with the return of the Priest, the entity became very active in the Temple of Sacrifice.
30. Thus there is innate within the entity the knowledge of the needs of sacrifice. So few, so few individuals learn the lesson that there must be sacrifice in self if one would learn the lesson. For, remember, it was given of him, "Though He were the Son, yet learned He obedience through the things which He suffered."
31. It is well for this entity, then, to set days or periods when it would abstain from this or that. Not merely as routine but that the body, the mind may be brought under subjection of the spirit of truth.
32. The name then was Nu-Norn.
33. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain and how:
34. Apply self rather in physical education having to do especially, directly, with the teen-age girls, in a physical, mental and spiritual manner. Let it include all forms of activity, but especially keep outdoors for the entity as much as possible.
35. Ready for questions.
36. (Q) How can I develop to the fullest my potentiality? (A) In following those things indicated. First, analyze and study the characters indicated - Moses as the lawgiver, Joshua as the leader. These are the basic principles of all material law. And these applied in the mind and body of Jesus became the way. Do thou likewise.
37. (Q) Should I affiliate with any particular church organization? (A) A particular church organization is well. For it centers the mind. But don't get the idea that you have the whole cheese.
