1. LS: 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 that to which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here and those relations with the Universe and Universal Forces that give the urge and purpose in the earth's plane, as are manifest through the entity at the present time.
3. In this position, we find that taken from Jupiter, with Venus and Mercury, with Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, with the influences playing parts, as it were, in conditions surrounding the present life of this entity.
4. First, the entity should ALWAYS live near large bodies of water, the larger the better. Pacific coast would be good, wonderful for the development of the body, or Atlantic seaboard either - even better than that surrounding the present conditions.
5. With these influences, then, as are exerted in the present earth plane, through influence received by sojourn in other spheres, bring many conditions in the present life. Some that the body should be warned against and to use the will force in bringing the better conditions with these surrounding urges. This especially in the warning: The feet, the conditions that may bring accidents to the body that would bring detrimental condition to the feet. Be careful of always having sure-footedness in every element, and accidents that happen that bring such elements be careful of.
6. Then, with these conditions, we find these urges in the body:
7. One that has many of the magnanimous conditions and attitudes towards life and its problems. One that makes

friends easily. One that easily becomes the leader or head in such groups. One that has inclination toward selfish purposes, yet with the first indications of conditions abnormal this disappears, showing the urge of the entity. The surroundings producing most of this condition.
8. Then, one that is given toward enjoying the beauties in every condition, especially inclined towards music and art in a form that the entity may use same for a purpose in this present life.
9. One who will have many of the conditions that are called earthly to meet and combat in various ways, with the many influences that will be brought in the life.
10. One who has the deeper insight into many conditions pertaining to archaeology and the study of things old, with history of same. Hence the urge of art in this direction.
11. As to the appearances, and how these affect and will affect the present life, in this we shall see the varying and various conditions exhibited.
12. In one then before this we find in the days when the first settlers in this country, in the Cape Cod country when the first peoples came to the land, and in that entity then Mary Arden. In the urge then as seen, the love of those elemental conditions pertaining to life and the love of great outdoors, and of conditions that give physical ability to individual. Love then of every athletic condition.
13. In the one before this we find in the English Courts, when the division in Church and State, when Cromwell then brought a rule for the people, and the entity then in that of the maid to Henrietta, and in the name then of Irma, and the urge as given in the present, we find the dislike of anyone lording over others without the real intent and purpose for good to the individual. In that day there was much development in the life, for the trials through which the entity passed.
14. In the one before this we find in the Grecian country when the Trojan Wars were then in that country, and the entity then in that of Aphori and was one of those taken prisoner by the Trojans and carried to the isle of Crete, being herself then Grecian. From this urge we find the hatred to those that would bring physical, mental or spiritual forces captive in any manner, or force issue with any individual, yet manifesting same much in any subject the entity wishes to discuss same. Gaining from this also the study of the physical forces in physical conditions.
15. In the one before this we find in the Egyptian forces, when the first Pharoahs came to the throne, during the days of Rameses the 4th. This being then in the entity as the

ruler of the country, and from this gaining the desire of the pompous conditions as go with royalty, and the love to bedeck self in a manner and way that shows exceptional abilities in self-adornment. [6/2/25 Rdg. 340-10, Par. 13-A says this was NOT the period of the high priest Ra-Ta.]
16. In the one before this we find in the Peruvian country, now known, in the days of the Ohlms [Ohums, Aymaras]. The entity then in the name of the Onelqixe and the entity then in the household of the female ruler of the country and an assistant to that ruler, giving then much attention to the music of the household and of the services as were used in religious orders. From this the entity now gains the urge, especially, of martial or dirges in musical selections.
17. Then the entity, to use these in the present day, finds that it may make for itself a place in the world's forces, unless allowed to become dominated through conditions that would arise through marital relations, which should not come until the entity reaches at least twenty-five years of age.
18. We are through for the present.
