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 those influences as are latent and exhibited in the present life, with the will's influence, and those conditions as have been brought to the life in the present plane through the application of same, as well as the environmental conditions in same.
3. In entering the present earth's plane, we find the entity coming under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter, and of Venus, with the benevolent influences in Neptune and Uranus - adverse influence of Mars and of the Moon.
4. These influences, then, with their relative conditions, are as these in the present life, and there are many urges manifested and latent from appearances in the earth's plane, that are seen and known by entity, and, were these applied, often would bring more of the beneficent and of the money influence in the present life. In those conditions, then, as seen, are as these:
5. One who has had many varying influences in the life - many that have seemingly brought the entity to that position where the entity would feel everything will be alright, when just the ones whom the entity depended upon most seem to fail. Not with malice or attempt to belittle the entity's endeavors or aims, yet never quite succeeding in many conditions.
6. One, then, of high mind.
7. One considered, and one who is INNATELY courteous, kind, generous, in every manner; yet there comes the times when seemingly something pre-occupies the mind, and little courtesies are forgotten. Not in intent or in purpose, yet
4719-1 Page 2
these same conditions bring to the entity, often, those of conditions of which and in and through which the entity often belittles self when such should not be the case.
8. One given to the study of history, art, medicine, and of the action of mind over the body, as natural conditions.
9. One who studies environment, and one who would have made (and as the early influence was - yet those same conditions of small matters or conditions changed) an excellent politician.
10. One that will find that in the fifty-second year of the life will bring as many changes as have ever been wrought in the life, and with the knowledge of conditions as are seen may be turned to that way and manner as will bring much good to the entity in financial, in social, and in many ways, for through these channels, as will be presented during the early and middle portion of that year, much good may be accomplished by the entity for others. In the elements as bring these conditions are seen that, with the beneficent influences in Jupiter, and that of the extraordinary influence of Uranus in the earth's plane, will, of those natural forces, bring about many of the urges as are of the innate influence in the entity's earthly existence - for each sojourn is of that element that gives the innate urges in an entity in its passages through the earth's plane, in the same manner as that environmental conditions have to do with an earth's sojourn, for these may be overcome, yet a gentleman always shows himself a gentleman, until same has been submerged through other conditions.
11. In those conditions, then, as appear as those urges, latent and exhibited, through the appearances:
12. In the one before this we find in those days when the settling of this land in which the entity is as a sojourner, the entity then in the name Isaac Kline, in the land now known as the Virginian. The entity then among those of the second group landing in that place of the first English settlement. The entity then gained through the administering to the individual needs of many during that period of struggle to hold the place, for the entity lost the life during that sojourn in the defense of that place. Often has been the desire to see and to know the position of that place - well would the entity find this a very interesting spot. Much is still to be seen that would be of interest. The urge as is seen is ever the desire to lend assistance to one physically weak. That giving, then, the greater desire for the study of those conditions going to make up the chemical conditions of the body, and of other elements as related to same.

13. In the one before this we find during that period of the incoming of the peoples from the sea to that land now known as the Roman country. The entity then in the name Iabod, and the entity lost and gained, for the entity was in that position of being forced to serve in the capacity of the warrior of that period, being subservient to the will of others who ruled. In the service gained. In the abandoning of the service, and becoming lord and master of a portion of that country, the entity forgot the oppressing portions and oppressed, where there was only vengeance taken. In the urge as is seen in the present, both latent and as manifest - that of the desire to know the intricate conditions concerning any element that is of a rule or law. Hence wherein the entity would have made a good politician. That as manifest in the present - that desire ever to be known as fair in all dealings.
14. In the one before this we find in that land when the division was in the Egyptian country, now known. The entity then among those who assisted those that gave the first assistance to the ills of the peoples, being then among those who assisted that councillor to adjudge the physical conditions, and making many of the tenets of composition in drug, as known - mineral and vegetable, and of animal - using also much of that as afterwards grew to be that of the lines that would bring certain charm. In the urge from this there is seen that of the entity's love of study of religious differences, rather than religion. Rather the practice of the tenets of the religion, than of the claims as would be set forth. Then in the name Arsia, and the entity gained much during this period, this being the first in the earth's plane, and through that the entity may apply the greater force as may be manifest in the present period, for the entity's abilities lie, through the present environment, through those conditions and elements as have been builded in the entity, in that of compiling data, and of compounding those conditions that would give succor, aid, to the sick, the afflicted, and as the assistant to one who would give such aid should the entity lend self in building those tenets again, around which so much builded and so much depended during that first sojourn in the earth's plane.
15. As to how, the entity will find that such positions, such conditions, will be in the position of being in that way of coming about in the fifty-second year. Take advantage of same - remembering that service to others, and the highest service is assisting the fellow man - making self first aright, in body and in mind, with that Creative Force. As God manifests same in the world, so show thyself
4719-1 Page 4
to be the portion of that Creative Energy that would give the better understanding to those who would seek His face.
16. Then, in that manner, bring self to that place where in the next sojourn would be nearer to those Creative Forces, as are ever developing through the eons of space in the better worlds - Above.
17. We are through for the present.
