1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the 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. You will answer the questions, regarding this body that I will ask you.
2. EC: (In undertone: "Only one person living that was born in 1916 in Adams Center, N.Y.") Yes, we have the entity, and those relations with the Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. In taking the position in the present earth's plane, we find the entity coming under the influences of those from which the entity's sojourn has merited and meted in the earthly existence. Hence under that of Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, with adverse influence in Moon and in Neptune.
4. As to the influences these have in the present life, there is seen one with that will force and power able to overcome or to change those much in the present earth's plane, through the influences of the Mercurian forces in the life.
5. One, then, high tempered, high strung; yet able to control self well.
6. One that finds that the desire for the destruction of those things that the mental rails against often needs curbing.
7. One that has the making of the lawyer and politician, will the mind of the entity be brought more to that of the reasonable, or that as is termed, in earth's parlance, politic - that is, capable of giving and taking in a manner that will give the better influence to others.
8. One, then, we find that is high minded.

9. One loving to read, to study, and to gain, as would be seen and meted from such conditions, influence and position over others. Well that this be kept in the correct manner, for with the influences as are seen there may be many things of which the entity should be warned, especially of being out at night, and of automobiles. Accidents may come - at night.
10. In the influences then, as are seen in urges, many are seen from the appearances. As given, these have more to do in the urge and in that seen as personalities than as the position of the astrological conditions at time of birth, or entrance into the present earth's plane, for in the one before this we find the entity in that country where the peoples were in combat with the Indians, in the Northwestern country. The entity then in the name Cowl, and the entity lost in that period, for the desire of vengeance brought destructive forces to the entity. The urge as is seen in the present is that wish for vengeance, but not by the hands of the entity, for fear enters with same.
11. In the one before this we find in the days when there was war in the Eastern country, known then as Trojan War. The entity then the soldier in that land, and a defender at the gates against the lead of the peoples who were brought in possession through the action of Achilles. The entity then in the name Thesiolups, and the entity GAINED in that period, through the things suffered at the time of the injury to the body, for with care and attention given during this period the entity gained much of brotherly love, as was manifested, and as has been and will ever remain a condition in earth to be sought, studied and understood, and is as the key, or the sinequanon of the successes of secret organizations, which the entity likes and desires to be a portion of many. In the period the entity came in contact with many of high estate, MENTALLY, and the desires of the entity in the recuperative period brought much learning to the entity. In the present urge there is seen the desire to spread learning; not as that of excess, but the good it (learning) will bring to others.
12. Then, the one before this in the plains of the country now known as East Indian. The entity then in that of the herdsman to the ruler of that land, when the period of aggression had ceased, and the entity gained and lost; gaining during the early period or portion of life and losing in the last few weeks. In that period the entity in the name Ajhabd, and the entity's influence or urge in the present as is the love of outdoor, the ability to see or know good lands, good grain, good stock; a judge of such,

whether known of as in the present or as innately known.
13. As to that which the entity may attain, and how:
14. In the present, with the experiences as have been, as in the appearances in the earth plane, the entity would make the good and successful politician and judge, or lawyer, for especially those pertaining to estates, cattle, lands, and such, for innately these are as urges and as understandings; yet many conditions must be curbed, many things must be changed within the life, would this be brought to the success. Not using same as to satisfy own desires for power, but rather as using self, self's abilities, to the SERVICE of fellow man, for the entity needs to reorganize more the divine influences as are seen manifest in the material world, and to apply them more in the daily life; not as EYE service, but rather as the deeper principles, tenets, and LIVE religion rather than profess religion. LIVE rather the Christian life than a Religious life, for there may be seen, would the entity take counsel and stock of self, that THIS would be NECESSARY in APPLYING self to service to others.
15. We are through.
