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 records here of that entity now called [3577].
3. In interpreting the records as we find them, there are many variations that have come to this entity. Few have developed so far as in one experience, as we find, from the latent urges indicated in the individuality as well as in the personality of the entity.
4. This is one entity who might take any man and wind him around her finger - by a look and by a wink, or by her own movements. Yet these have not only been eliminated by suppression but purposefully, though they may still be used to advantage if spiritualized, in aiding self as well as anyone else in whom the entity might interest itself.
5. The entity would make an excellent lobbyist for any cause. Thus as the entity may set itself about to contribute to or to tear down any activity, it can do a darn good job of it!
6. These are personalities and individualities, then, in the entity's activities.
7. For we find that the appearances in the earth have been so used in the present as to eliminate most of those urges from astrological aspects; though Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are strong. So have been Saturn, Mars and Uranus.
8. Then to be able in the present not to put a big question mark behind self's own activities is an accomplishment for the entity.
9. Then, spiritualize and visualize purposes, in the manner
3577-1 Page 2
in which the entity desires things to be done, and you'll have them done!
10. The entity need never worry about material things. It may worry about them for others, but why worry - when you can pray and have it! but you'll have to live like you pray! In thy spirituality don't begin to become one who would ruin [run?] to attain and then not use to the glory of that through which it may be presented.
11. As to the appearances in the earth, these have been few and far between - quite varied.
12. For the entity in the experience before this was among those early groups called barnstormers, and a very good one!
13. Hence anything of the stage or screen nature, anything having to do with public activities, anything to persuade or sway crowds or groups is naturally a part of the entity. Yet the entity has checked itself in these directions and used them for definite purposes. These keep, but spiritualize the purposes and we will find the greater values in using such for the glory of God; not for self, not for indulgences; not just to be wellspoken of. Be wellspoken of for a cause, and not because it is [3577].
14. The entity gained mentally, materially. Then the name was Margaret Corday.
15. Before that the entity was in the very early portion of the Master's walk in the earth, for the entity was among the dancing girls at the court of Herod - and was the only one who could even outdance Salome.
16. The entity taught, yes the entity encouraged even those activities at that period.
17. During the period in the larger market place (not recorded) when the Master dined with a leader, the entity was among those with Mary of Magda who bathed the Master's feet with tears. And the entity will never be away from same, for those whom He blessed may still be blessed if they will hold to His promises.
18. Then, keep that faith which prompted thee to change. For it has held thee in good stead in this experience. But let it be purposeful for Him, and not for [3577]. Let it be as appreciation, love, honor, glory to the blessings that have been and may be in thy present experience. These appeal as in those days to the entity, the tendencies to be all things to all individuals. Yet there have been those restrainings within self, as it were a harking back to that hour when His blessings caused thee to renew a life of purpose, a life of cause, a life of hope, a life of beauty - through those periods of activity in the earth as Rhadahr.
19. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land in those

periods when there were the homebuildings, when those efforts were necessary owing to the divisions among the peoples, when those trainings had been a part of that regime which preceded the homebuilding in Egypt.
20. The entity was among those who led in that activity.
21. Thus the anxiety that oft arises in the present, not only as to the home but as to the companion in the home.
22. Then, keep that still sacred. For the home is the nearest pattern in earth (where there is unity of purpose in the companionship) to man's relationship to his Maker. For it is ever creative in purpose from personalities and individualities coordinated for a cause, an ideal. Keep it.
23. The name then was Art-Elor.
24. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that which the entity sets its mind and heart to do - with the closer relationships to the Creative Forces - is already a part of the entity's experience.
25. Use it, do not abuse it.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) How can I best help my husband in his present and future business status? (A) Best by the helping of self, by helping self in bringing to bear the influence of the activities in the earth.
28. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
