1. JBM: You have before you [4292], born September 7, 1904, Mill Valley, California, and you will give the relation of this entity to the universe and the universal forces, giving conditions that are as responsibilities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearance in the earth's plane, giving time, place and name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity, and that to which it may attain and how.
2. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. In entering we find the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Uranus, Venus and Saturn. Hence we find without reference to will that factor in human life that either builds or retards the development of an entity; that this entity, [4292], came under the influence of that in the Mercurian forces as one that of high mental ability with the capacity of gaining, retaining and being in a manner an excellent student, a deserving individual, a loving body, yet ever in the way of often finding that the mysteries of life as seen in the influence of Saturn, with Venus, led the mind to wander afield in the various elements as pertains to the development of coordinating mentality with the actions of the body. As will apply to these forces, we find one that often showed the acts of the body were in keeping with that mental ability, with the capacity of going farther and farther, yet when applied to the relations existent between self and those that were dependent upon the abilities of self, self's assertion, self's propagation, self's individuality, surpassed that of duty as is seen in the acts of the individual, hence that of will being the factor that would lead or guide or prevent from the entity's carrying out those elements as were considered in the way of the ordinary understanding of relations between individuals and those the body held near and dear in earthly ties of any

nature.
4. As to the abilities and to that which the body will attain, as we find that many years come to the entity this present experience and that the influence of those surroundings under which the entity came into the influence of the present earth's plane, draw, attract and hold even above that the will may exercise towards preventing such changes, hence along this valley in which the entity chooses to build in the present experience, we will find that the body will build only in the sense of application of those tenets as were given in the age when the mental abilities were being developed as according to the earthly relation to the mental body.
5. In appearances, we find in the one before this the entity among those who settled in the land near where the entity entered the present experience [Mill Valley, Calif.], then in the name of A-n-v-r-e-e [Anvree]. And the entity gained in this experience through the service rendered to others in making the land in an order to give of the fruits of same to sustenance of life in the land. In the urge seen from some that desire to be drawn to same and here the entity will gain again.
6. In the one before this, we find in the period when subjugations was being brought to the place in the land now known as that in Spain, the entity then among those who came from the isles of the sea and in the name of D-r-o-e-e [Droee]. The entity gained and lost through this experience; gained in application of the will of self towards assistance or service, and lost in self-aggrandizement of power gained, subjugating self in the manner that felt in self at that experience as only a lack of self-expression. In the urge as seen from this experience, the desire innate, finding expression under influences astrological in the twenty-first and twenty-second year of present experience of finding the self-expression in separation from those who would guide in any manner in the present experience.
7. In the one before this, we find in that period when the Arms [Aymaras? Ohms were?] in that land now known as through [Peru, though] the entity then [was] among those that ruled in the land and being subjugated by the Inco [Inca?] [See 4292-1 Reports] that took possession of the land from those that ruled. The entity then in the name os OO-o-i-u-l [os OOoiul], and the entity lost through this experience, for in that of bringing the wreck of the peoples from the desire to rule brought destructive forces to others and to self. In the urge seen from this experience the

entity finds that self becomes wandering in body, mind and in desire. In the abilities and that application in self will be found first in finding self in that way that will bring to self the understanding of self's relation to the all-creative energy and that due to man. In the life there then comes in the present experience that which will bring the entity again into the home ties in the 28th and 9th year.
8. Follow that that may make self one with Him that gave "I am the way, the life, the light, and no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
9. We are through.
