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: Yes, we have the entity here now called [3393].
3. In interpreting the records as we find here for this entity, there is so much that may be said that is of worth that the beginning of same is, that what ye may accomplish is only limited by that ye set your mind to do.
4. This is true not only in the manner in which by your own personality ye may control others, but the manner in which ye have through the experiences in the earth applied self in relationship to controlling same.
5. Then the only questioning must ever be, is it for the universal purpose or for the aggrandizement of something of a selfish nature in self?
6. The body naturally, from its inception, is beautiful in figure, in mind, in soul. As it purposes at times, because of circumstance the entity has put the question marks, rather than others. But never think more highly of self than ye should. Know thy ideal, in whom as well as in what ye believe. Know who is the author of thy ideals, spiritually, mentally, materially. Budget thy time more; first in the care for the physical being, recreation, improvement mentally, spiritually, also socially. Take time to be holy. Be holy purposefully, and ye will find much of that ye have looked for, hoped for, will come to thee in new environs, new surroundings.

7. Do not change from thy ministrations to others, but make a specialty rather with children - and especially those in the ages from ten to sixteen - girls, and boys. Use thy counsel, thy help in those things that have been a part of thy experience. For ye have broken every rule as considered in astrological aspects, yet Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are the ruling influences. Thy ability to smile when everything has gone dead wrong, thy ability to see the ridiculous at times has saved the day for others as well as for self. Take time to be holy.
8. As to the appearances in the earth, while all may not be given, these have been quite varied and indicate much of the activity in which the entity may apply self:
9. Before this the entity was in the land east from the present nativity, or in the settlings in the land when there were the Mound builders in Ohio, Indiana, and the various groups that traveled through that land.
10. The entity was then one who acted in the capacity as the teacher, the soothsayer or the priestess to those peoples.
11. Hence we find in the entity's present experience a form of ceremony to almost any condition is almost necessary, yet at other periods it is altogether tabu.
12. But as the entity aided in self, and aided in bringing better understandings to those people through that experience, it has brought and may bring the ability indicated as related especially to young people that are in those periods of transition in body as well as in purposes.
13. The entity was then beautiful in form, as it has been through the greater portion of this experience also.
14. The name then was Mayohar.
15. Before that the entity was in the Holy Land or Palestine during those periods following the Master's walk in the earth. There the entity was among those who knew and heard of those activities that were so peculiar to the period, as to the teachings and activities of those that had followed the Nazarene.
16. The entity questioned in self, and only when the entity came to know personally those who had been acquainted with such activities was the entity able to apply these in self.
17. Thus the needs in the present to the entity, "show me". It becomes a matter of fact, something of a realist, and yet a dreamer as in music and art. But you can apply the music and the art in aiding the young, those who are changing in their relationships to homes as well as in their relationships one to another, in finding themselves, as ye did thyself. For it is founded, as then, in truth - truth of man's relationships to the universal forces.

18. The name then was Magda.
19. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods when there were exchanges made between various groups of various lands.
20. The entity then being active in the Temple Beautiful, the Temple of Sacrifice, became associated with those that were sent from other lands - especially from the land of Saad. And these are the activities or associations in the present.
21. Ye need to help oft that entity who is now thy companion, keeping him from being discouraged, keeping him from being disheartened at times in the problems that have arisen and that do arise. Know in whom you believe; that is, in spirit, in body, in mind. Let thy light so shine that others may take hope also. But especially minister ye to those of certain ages, in body, in teaching, in instructing, in direction, in home economics, as well as in body- relationships one to another. These are the outlets that may bring to this entity satisfaction, in the knowledge that ye are in attune and in accord with Him who is the way, the truth and the light.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) How can I better understand my daughter, [...]? (A) Rather think not of what ye would want her to be, but of what ye were at that same period. Enter into those things that cause disturbance in the mind of the daughter. This is one reason for the injunction and the insistence that ye understand this particular age of people, and ye will be closer and closer. Do not dictate but work with. For each soul must give an account for the deeds done in the body.
24. (Q) What unused talents or special abilities could I develop and use? (A) As just indicated, in counsel, training especially to the early teen-age girls and boys.
