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: Sivas, Turkey - what a quaint place - a new cycle!
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called in the present environs [3908].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records here of this entity as we find here, the seal or the cover of the book of the records, would be interesting to the entity.
5. For this should be a white background, at least fourteen inches square, colored blue with a shade of green and red around the edges, and a circle at least thirteen inches made and the coloring on the outer edge of this circle.
6. In the center would be a lotus flower with leaf and with the pink and white petal showing in the center of the opening lotus flower.
7. In the left-hand upper corner would be the harp - the hand harp or small harp; not the zither, yet the small harp.
8. All of these figures should be vignetted.
9. On the right-hand upper corner would be the nurse, the patient and the nurse, with the Red Cross of the insignia of same indicated upon the cap or upon the apron of the nurse.
10. In the lower left-hand corner or edge put an open market place with wares of all characters, especially the various forms of crockery, pots, urns, vases and small figures.

11. In the lower right-hand corner put the insignia of the Cross and the flag, both of Turkey and the U.S.A. All of these figures should be in colors, to be sure.
12. In giving the interpretation of the records, there is much from which to choose. For, as indicated, from the seal, this is a very unusual entity or one endowed with many abilities. In music should the entity excel, in the stringed instruments, harp or plane, and such music should be used for the applications in healing, or as part of the entity's endeavor to reclaim individual entities that are disturbed by nerve or shell shock or long weariness in the out-of-the-way places. For these are abilities with the entity that may be surpassed only by very few.
13. There are also the abilities to attract, as well as to be universal in its nature of attraction, for the very characters of individuals are parts of the entity's consciousness; and ever, as indicated, under the seal or the Cross, and of unity of purpose in the activities of its own peoples in the present as well as those in the land of its present adoption.
14. For the entity in the appearance before this was among those who aided in the settling of the land of the present adoption, in those activities that brought about the accepting of music of a martial nature, when the first songs or marching airs were introduced in those periods of the Revolution, when Yankee Doodle was set to music.
15. Thus the entity in the name Charlotte Daye gained. The entity applied itself. Hence in the present those activities having to do with music, added to the voice or activities in the environ of those who are injured, those only partially conscious of materiality, the entity may aid the more.
16. Before that the entity was in the Holy Land among those who went on missions to portions of Turkey or the Armenian land, and portions of the lands of the entity's present nativity.
17. For the entity contributed to the healing of body, mind and soul through the teachings of the Master. Thus the combination of the Cross with the flags of the two nations is indicated in the seal for the entity.
18. Then name then was Rachel.
19. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods when there were the preparations of individuals for activities in other lands, as emissaries or missionaries.
20. The entity was a musician upon the ancient harp of Egypt or the lyre. The entity's use of voice as well as the
3908-1 Page 3
administering to the young and old, especially to those afflicted or the shut-ins - even of those periods - contributed such that it made for the entity being called blessed by many, because of the great contribution the entity made to the welfare of the people of many lands, not only the Persian, the Armenian, the Holy Land, but even portions of India, yet the entity found time also for the activities of the social nature.
21. While prohibitive in the present, we find that these will some day be a portion of the entity's activity, if there is the adding to the present abilities those accomplishments with the use of stringed instruments - harp, guitar, lyre, plane or whatever is the choice of the entity. But do add these to thy accomplishments and use them in aiding the groups that will soon be needing such in many places.
22. As to the abilities of the entity and that to which it may attain and how:
23. Follow thy seal and the lotus will open again to Sesame for the entity, as it will find, and the coral and white will be the seal for the entity, as it applied itself in a greater service for its fellow man.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) How should I go about getting into the phase of work indicated? (A) Prepare self and we will find that very soon the way will be opened for the entity to be used in this service, in which it may contribute much more than the ordinary individual.
