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: Lapeer - a new cycle.
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [3652]. What an awful lot of wheels run around, with this entity!
4. In analyzing the records here, we find that there is much from which to choose. These we give with the desire and purpose that this information may be a helpful experience for this entity. This is a very rare entity, or woman, who can keep a secret!
5. We would minimize the faults, we would magnify the virtues. This, too, should be the policy of the entity in the many changes that will be in the experience of this entity through this material sojourn.
6. As to the natural temperament not only from astrological urges but from the material sojourns, the entity is one given to a great deal of change. Hence we will find many strange and varied places with which the entity will be associated or connected through this experience. A great deal of travel is indicated, and a great many varied types or characters of individuals may be friends or associates of this entity. It will go far, it will go wide, in many, many varied activities.
7. In analyzing the urges, we find those latent and manifested from Mars, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter.
3652-1 Page 2
Some of these will be found to be more active in the experience at some periods than others. However, Mars indicates the activity, the movements; for the entity is quick in decisions, quick in making up its mind - yet there is the ability, which few women have, of keeping its own counsel, as well as being able to keep a secret - which is unusual in this entity.
8. Not that the entity has things to hide in itself, but it certainly wouldn't do for the entity to tell all it knows about others!
9. In Mars with Mercury there are those activities having to do with state or national or international affairs, that become as a realm in which the entity may be active if it chooses to do so.
10. The entity has abilities pertaining to records, as a datastician or statistician. Or, as the name would indicate, the entity can ferret out or be a very good detective in its activities pertaining to state papers, state connections, state associations, or national or international associations. These are innate, and will require application - if these are to be made a part of the experience.
11. We find in Venus that the entity is very sincere. Just occasionally would the entity ever be emotional in a love affair, but it could love if it decided to do so! or it could tell the fellow where to to, if it chose to do so! These are the independencies in the entity.
12. In Saturn we find the great changes in the entity's experience. The entity will move almost in a double cycle, or it is not satisfied to be staying in any place more than three and a half years, and that would be too long for the entity.
13. This is very well, yet the entity has the ability to become whatever it may choose, and to direct or control large enterprises. Nothing would suit the entity better than being an overseer for a large plantation, and yet it would not be possible for the entity ever to be satisfied except in a city, or in large crowds, or where it can be just as lonesome as it chooses or have just as much of the close environs as it desires. For the entity desires. For the entity desires oft to be in crowds, and then to just be let alone - for it can enjoy itself, analyzing people. For it does, irrespective of what may be the activities!
14. The entity may have a career as well as a home, and this very few women may do - but they will be entirely different. The entity may live one experience in the home and then conduct the affairs of a corporation or organization, or of
3652-1 Page 3
a state or county or of a nation, and it'll be left at its office when it leaves same! Few can accomplish such. This does not mean to indicate that the entity is double-minded, but it is able to become mental-minded, spiritual-minded or material-minded, and to keep them separate!
15. These are the abilities, then, of the entity, and these are the activities through which the entity may find the outlets for itself - a home and a career. Neither one alone would satisfy the entity.
16. As to the sojourns in the earth, these have been quite varied.
17. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, but close in the environs of the Capitol. Thus the Capitol, or Washington, has an interest - yet the entity has an aversion, yet again it calls for something that seems to need to be satisfied.
18. During the experiences that came as the aftermath of the War of 1812, the entity was close in associations with those individuals who were among those who directed the policies of the land during that period.
19. The name then was Sarah Sharp. The entity then was active as a diplomat as well as being a good lobbyist for many of those in the varying aspects of the divisions that were already beginning to arise in the various portions of the land. The entity kept tab on these.
20. Thus the entity can look at all sides of a proposition, whether it would pertain to a business deal, a social problem, a home problem, or whatever it might be. And anyone can trust the entity with all their secrets, if they can trust themselves to give the proper face to same, for they would be safe - and the entity has judgement in settling problems. Thus the entity would make a good executive in any character of organization, or corporation, as well as make a good home builder.
21. Before that the entity was in the English land when there were changes wrought by the rebellion brought about by Cromwell, when there were those uprisings of the peoples against those of the Church.
22. The entity was among those in the activities of some of the right hand men of Cromwell, in the name then Eliza Gates. Then the entity was able to show the position the women might have in state affairs, and was an unusual character then to the social gatherings, as well as in the way and manner in which it conducted itself or the affairs of its companion during that particular period.
23. From those experiences we find the abilities as an executive or diplomat, or as a statistician or datastician;
3652-1 Page 4
the abilities to keep its own counsel and to be a good listener. The entity can listen well, and thus attracts both sexes - men and women both will like the entity. The entity can really appear interested in them if it desires, but it can also "set upon" them.
24. Before that the entity was in the Holy Land, when there were those periods of choices being made among the Essenes of those for the channel through which there might come the Expected One.
25. The entity was among those mothers, whose daughter was in that group on the stair, even when Mary was chosen.
26. Then the entity was very active in those groups. And with the coming of the expressions from Elizabeth and Mary, the entity was a companion to each of them in the giving out to other groups. And the entity was among those who were much disturbed by the edict when many of the "daughters of Rachel" wept because of the edict in that district.
27. The name then was Macha. The entity gained. And from there comes the great balance in mind, in body, in purpose of the entity.
28. Do not starve either of these phases of thy unfoldment, for all that is in mind and body first appears in spirit. Keep each, then, in its proper relation one to another, if the entity would contribute the more to the activities in the earth.
29. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when the daughters of the Priest and associates were being tempered in the Temple Beautiful and the Temple of Sacrifice; when individuals were prepared for activities which today would be termed diplomatic relationships, as emissaries and teachers in various lands.
30. The entity was among those groups who went into other lands. Thus the innate desire to know the mysteries underlying the promptings in the emotions of various groups who set about to teach that having to do with the mental, material or spiritual aspirations in the lives of individuals.
31. The name then was Ar-bab-lo.
32. As to the abilities of the entity, that to which it may attain, and how:
33. In applying self, know thy own weaknesses, as well as thy own virtues. Set them down in a row, not in the same row; but every few weeks rub out those that you have overcome or add those that you know you have taken on. This will help you keep that balance that is so unusual in the entity.
34. Study spiritual things, mental things. For it is from
3652-1 Page 5
these that the material things of life grow.
35. Apply self in any of those directions indicated. For the entity CAN have both a career and a home, and few there be who may!
36. Ready for questions.
37. (Q) What kind of work is best for me? (A) That which will have to do with the more people. Thus as a datastician, statistician, for states or nations, or in the diplomatic service.
38. (Q) Am I at Virginia Beach for a particular purpose and am I fulfilling it well? (A) VERY well! yes, you are here for a particular purpose. You are sent to find it out, and you are finding it!
39. (Q) What were my past associations and what are my present responsibilities with the following: [1981]? (A) In the Holy Land. There ye looked after her, and you'll have to do it again!
40. (Q) [1857]? (A) In Egypt. These have more to do with the keeping in the ideals of the purpose of the entity.
41. (Q) Clinton [...]? (A) In the experience before this the activities were closely associated - they may be again.
42. (Q) Claude [...]? (A) Don't find Claude [...].
43. (Q) My mother, [...]? (A) In the English period when the conditions were almost reversed.
44. We are through for the present, though there's much more to tell! Two copies to Self Copy to Ass'n file
