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 that to which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: (In going back over years "'27, '26, '25, '24, '23 - A great singer born here on this date.") Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the Universe and Universal Forces, as are latent and as are exhibited in the present earth's plane.
3. In entering the earth's plane, we find the entity comes under the influence of many great ennobling influences, and is destined to lead, direct, and influence, the lives of many peoples; for the entity represents many influences as were sought after persecutions, yet worshiped in the hearts of many.
4. One coming often under the influence of Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and benevolent influences of Saturn and of Neptune. Hence we find one that is ever in the attitude of being hoped for, and bringing joy, peace, happiness, comfort, cheer, and love, in the lives of those whom the entity contacts.
5. One in whom love and reason are as the leading factors in the life.
6. One that, with the high ennobling influence in Jupiter, brings a great many honors of NATURAL conditions to the experience of the entity, and tempered with the influences in Venus and Mercury brings peace and happiness to many; yet consternation in the lives of some for the welfare of the entity itself in spending of self, as it were, to gain the field of endeavor the entity finds self led to, on account of the innate feelings, or desire of entity to assist others in having a greater amount of cheer in their lives.

7. The entity would have made a WONDERFUL nurse.
8. The entity would make a wonderful teacher in dramatic art, in expression, or as an interpreter of any of the legends of folk lore to individuals, groups as individuals, or as groups - for these are as the natural trend of the entity, and the entity is better pleased, satisfied - gains more from doing for others, than attempting even rewards of merit for self - see?
9. In the manifested influences in the present experience, irrespective of the will's force - for, as has been given, and as is seen, will's force is ever tempered by love and by judgement. Hence, without respect to will's force, these influences as have been given are the NATURAL bend or trend.
10. In the application of will's force, we find as these:
11. One who gives self in thought of others often in preference of self.
12. One who, while gaining many positions of influence, is as the natural leader - yet never lording same over others; yet one very much given to consider position rather by merit than by chance - for to the entity, chance is as a small part in the life of any individual (yet the entity itself would be one who could almost break the bank of Monte Carlo - yet it would not be well for the entity to apply self in this direction, as will be seen by experiences in the earth's plane and the lessons as gained from same). Hence will's force is manifested in such directions, and one never need be fearful of the abilities of the entity to direct, guard, or guide self in correct channels - unless overcome in the twenty-third (23rd) year by evil influences of ones influenced by Mars and Uranus; that is, the entity should ever beware of firearms, or those that are closely associated with same. While the sports are of a manner enticing to the entity, and in moderation are well for the physical conditions of body, beware of those that tend towards arms of destructive nature in any way or manner. In the Uranian is as of one that is an extremist, and would misconstrue purposely the intents of the entity itself in action. This, as we find, would occur during the months of - fifteenth (15th) of November to fifteenth (15th) of December.
13. In temperamental conditions, we find the entity even, and in the way of an ensample to those who would use self or self's gifts attained in a correct way and manner to bring joy or goodness in the lives of those who are to the entity as companions, or as friends.
14. As to appearances and urges from same, we find these far, yet as an innate influence in the life of the entity in
4500-1 Page 3
the present experience.
15. In one before this we find in the period of the first kings in country now known as France, when the ruler was given to manifest through the play presented as entertainment for court and subjects. The entity then the idol, as it were, of the peoples and of the court, in the name then Biredlan, and the entity gained through that experience, in bringing joy, peace, happiness, to many, and in same brought to self that position of a satisfaction in a life well spent, even in luxury - though never abusing same, for the entity gave - gave - gave - to others, in word, deed - and in the minds of many was the leading figure during those periods of this entity's sojourn. In the urge is seen that desire to express self in manifestations of word and act of the body. Hence the ability to teach, train, or to READ in such way and manner as to bring the greater influence in the lives of the hearer.
16. In the one before this we find in that Grecian period when the people worshipped the Gods from the mount. Then entity then of figure and of position as was spoken of by the writer of the day, representing to that peoples Dian - and the life and experience of the entity was well pleasing to the forces as were manifest through that period, bringing to the ones in bondage much joy, much sought for release from the servitude of others. The entity gaining - until that period of oppression brought in the earthly experience that of the one influence that gave that of the seeking to supplant others, or envy - and the entity finds in the present experience that NOT of envy, but of the well manifested influence to prevent the supplanting of those who would envy the entity in its (the entity's) position.
17. In the one before this we find in that period when the laws and the church were of one, and made in that period in the Egyptian forces when church and state divided, as it were. The entity then among those who gave in the temple worship the song, the praise, and the ability of individual to give rhythm and the harmony of voice and body. Hence the urge as is seen to ever temper the truths as given or as manifested by entity by the early training of the church. In the abilities, then, did the entity surpass those about same, and many of the inner shrines will today, now, be found bearing the inscription of the entity in that period - Isssi. And the entity gained through that existence and experience, for the worshipfulness of the entity brought joy and happiness to many.
18. In the experiences then of the entity, and the abilities as may be manifest in the present earth's experience, these
4500-1 Page 4
lie in that of the teaching, the reader, or the interpreter of any of the lessons and truths as are given to peoples through the voice, and through the rhythm and harmony of the body - and in same, the entity should ever temper same with that truth as is found and as manifested in Him to whom the entity has ever looked for the guidance and the directing of ways. In the harmony then of life does the entity find the manifestations of that in the holy of holies as is seen in the creative energy in the material or physical world. Keep - keep - in that way that leads to the cross, for in Him is the light, and the manifesting of that light through the entity's endeavors will bring the crowning joys of the entity to the point wherein no EARTHLY EXPERIENCE will be necessary in the entity's development other than the present, for the entity is in that sphere of development surpassing many. Use aright, and all is well, [4500].
19. We are through for the present.
