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: - '43 almost gone - '42 - '40 - 1910 - [3506].
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3506].
4. A bad choice when the entity chose to change the name to [married name].
5. In giving the interpretation of the records as we find them here; these may be called by some Akashic records, in that spoken of as the book of life. Thus we find the book of life for the entity in the present appears very unsettled.
6. As is indicated the entity is one with great promise, with great abilities in many fields of activity. In music, in the ability to depict or to act, or as a reader, or as a lecturer, might the entity have succeeded most wonderfully.
7. Regarding these disturbances in the body - stress has been laid upon the material rather than the mental and spiritual portions of an experience or existence. Know that the answer is deep in self and no one else can know it for you. It may be pointed out or it may be rejected by others, but in self ye will know.
8. For as has been pronounced by the giver of the moral as

well as the penal code of man's relationship to man, man's relationship to God, man's relationship to parents, man's relationship to friend and foe alike, it is not who will come down from heaven that ye may have a message, or who would come from over the sea that ye may hear or interpret; for Lo, judgment, Lo, the spirit lies within thine own heart; thine own body, thine own mind.
9. For the very fact that ye find yourself conscious of being alive, of being capable of suffering disappointments, capable of being aware of missing something within thine own experience in the present - disappointed in people, disillusioned with your own family - should make you aware that God is mindful of thee and that thou hast forgotten God. Then in thy spiritual life, in thy spiritual purpose lies the answer in thy problems, physical, mental, material, spiritual. For when ye have set thine own house in order, regardless of what others may say, begin to read first the 19th of Exodus and the 5th verse, and see in whom ye may trust, where thy mind and thy soul may find rest. Consider what spirit, what purpose, what desire must occupy thy mind.
10. Then turn to the 30th of Deuteronomy and ye will read "Today there is set before thee good and evil, life and death, choose thou." The will, then, in self is the gift of thy Maker, thy Creator; that ye might understand and approach Him, putting thy trust, thy hope in His hands. For thy brother, even Jesus who became the Christ - by making intercession, by offering Himself as the sacrifice that made possible man's approach to God through Him - has promised, "I stand at the door of thy heart, of thy consciousness. If ye open, I will enter, if ye will listen to that still small voice within." For thy body is the temple of the living God, and there He has promised to meet thee. There ye may find the answer. Ye have the ability. Will you listen?
11. When ye have found Him, we again will come and speak to thee the 20th of June.
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file
