1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and Universal Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and to that which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the Universe and Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane by the entity.
3. In taking the position in the earth's plane we find the entity comes under the southern constellation of Ara, and the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus; Venus and Neptune showing influence; Mars adverse.
4. In the personalities as are exhibited there will be found that in the world forces the entity will find the greater successes coming in the south [than] from where the entity [was] born.
5. As to those as the urges, many come from the sojourns in the earth's plane.
6. As for the conditions as exhibited, will is the important factor the entity is developing, and controls same very good, and needs only direct same in the current channels to give much to the world in many ways.
7. As to that as exhibited:
8. One that is of high mental ability.
9. One using discretion in many ways; influences as we see through will and of the Mercurian forces.
10. One in Saturn's force finds that which is termed by others "sharp trading" and one subtle in their many ways and manners.
11. One that is "hale-fellow-well-met"; makes friends easy; the greater trouble - often loses same, for the temper of the entity is one thing the entity often finds necessary to subdue.

12. One that speaks what is on the mind at once, and if necessary to beg forgiveness does not hesitate; yet flies off-the-handle, as it were, again easily; yet WILL'S force has changed and will change the entity much in this way and manner.
13. One that has many ennobling ideals, and one that should carry those out.
14. One whose great influence will be from and in the home. Hence this should be made, and around same build much of those of the greater influences of the life.
15. One that would have made a good athlete in a certain line.
16. One that finds salesmanship the greatest turn of the life. One that will find in this the port of the financial and of satisfaction to self, for in this field much of the world's goods may be brought to the entity. It matters little as to WHAT the entity sells, but the entity will find that that commodity, or that in which the entity has faith in itself, will bring greater returns, though the entity often sells that, and is capable of selling that, of which he thinks little or nothing. This, as we find, often brings those conditions that are unsatisfactory in the mental forces and the better development of the entity.
17. As to that to which the entity may attain, as given, this force in the salesmanship of the entity is the greater field, and the south will be found the greater field for the endeavors, especially as those in the south central states. Water always a great factor in the entity's life. Hence along waterways or the oceans, see?
18. As to the appearances and the urges from same:
19. In the one before this we find in the days of the French courts, when the rule was being changed from that of sovereign to people rule. The entity then in those of the assembly, and in the name then Myratt, and the entity gained and lost in this sojourn, for the aggrandizement of selfish motives brought destructive forces in mental, in spiritual forces of the body. In the urge as is seen in the present - that desire to gain the OFFICIAL control over others, whether of necessity to use same or not.
20. In the one before this we find in the periods of the sojourns of the peoples from the isles of the Great Sea to that now known as Greece. The entity then the soldier in arms of the defense going down in ships to the sea. Then in the name Antol, and the entity GAINED in that period, for the trials were accepted as the entity's part, and "give and take" (in the earth's parlance of today) was as the desire of the entity to gain knowledge. The urge as is seen from

this - that of the symmetrical conclusions the entity easily draws from any condition, and the ability to present that which is felt as being the correct presentation; and as the ability of entity to read the character of anyone to whom the entity is introduced or approaches.
21. In the one before this we find in that of the Indian country (as now known) when the division of the country began by those invaders from the plain country, known as that of the rule of the first servants of the High Force, and the entity then in the field and a cultivator of the soil; in the name Iaiarath, and the entity then gained much in the latter days, though through servitude this came. The urge as is seen - the love of outdoors, and the ability to meet and compete with any and all comers in any field the entity seeks to give self's service in.
22. Then the entity, to gain much in this world, needs control self in the will's force, and in that inner urge follow closer in that of the acknowledgement to the GIVER of these forces latent and exhibited in the entity's forces and endeavors, and THROUGH same draw nigh unto that way that leads to the higher entertaining of the divine forces, for only through the correlation of the entity's efforts, and that as is of the divine, may the permanent growth, in body, mind and in spiritual, be attained by entity. Learn this lesson first, and study to show self approved unto Him.
23. We are through for the present.
