1. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [5007].
2. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find for this entity, we would choose from these that which if applied in the present may enable the entity to better fulfillthe purposes for which it entered this sojourn.
3. There are abilities. For the entity is among those who ALMOST succeed. The entity has high ideals yet rarely is able to attain to that desired. It has great confidence in individuals' abilities but finds that oft, as self, individuals fail. This is excellent in a manner, yet never lose sight of: Let not thy judgments nor yet thy disappointments to cause thee to become discouraged. Indeed hardships may be a part of thy experience, and a great many disappointments come with such ideas; but if the ideals are set in spiritual sources the results will be good. Not merely a choice of this or that group of individuals who have chosen certain tenets as their beliefs or the like. For each and every soul must find the answer to the best that is within the entity itself. All that the entity may know of divinity or of God, or of the universal law, is to be, may be, can be, manifested within the entity itself.
4. Then it is not by this or that tenet, this or that creed, this or that group. For remember, as given to many, think not to attain because of thy heritage of name or because of thy connection with some individual group. But KNOW that the Lord is able to raise thee to that position that ye will set as thy ideal.
5. Don't put away, then, those high ideals or ideas, but conform them - and let thy judgments of them be from the ideals of the law of the Lord, and ye may accomplish anything that ye set thy mind and heart to do.
6. Thy natural intent and desire, in thy choice of friends, is that individuals show themselves worthy of being in high

places, in places of trust, in positions of authority. These must be practised within thine own self before ye can lend that strength, that impetus, that spirit, to those activities - in being the prop upon which many may lean. Ye have to do it thyself! No one can give confidence to others unless it is had in self, and unless the faith is in that which is creative in itself. No one can give love without being lovely. No one can give that strength of character without having it first within self.
7. Astrological influences play such a small part in the present experience of the entity, while the earthly sojourns play such a large measure - but do not judge by material things. Look on the heart and on the purpose. Know the desire of individuals when ye would choose to help them, whether they be young or old. Ye can be, ye may be, that upon which many an individual in many walks of life may lean for help. Let it not be said of thee, "If the blind lead the blind, they both will fall in the ditch." Or let not there be the leaning upon thee when thou art thyself as smoking flax, but rather find self strong in the power of His might; not in longfacedness but in happiness, in joy. Know that the Lord will not withhold any good thing from those who look for and who love His presence.
8. As to the appearances in the earth, we find: (Not all being given, but those giving the pattern in this cycle.)
9. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, among the early settlers, born in the land near what is now known as Plymouth.
10. Then in the name Susan Willcox the entity was a home builder and one who prepared for the things to come, being among those who first set the ideals for preserving, for canning, for taking care of the abundance of the seasons so that later the dependence might be put upon that which had been gathered together.
11. Thus we find the urge latent in which the entity is ever hoping for, ever setting high ideas, ever building for new experiences, great things in the lives of those whom the entity would seek to help - in mind as well as in the material things. But don't pass judgment by material things.
12. Before that the entity was in the land of the present nativity when changes were being wrought by the activities of peoples who had entered from Atlantis.
13. Hence the entity had to do with the plans for groups when new adventures were undertaken. For the entity then was the princess of those peoples in Yucatan, then in the name Esquarn.

14. In the experience the entity was oft disappointed because individuals withdrew from the plans the entity had for its own people. Eventually the entity gave up and allowed itself to be led by others.
15. There will come those periods of troubles and disappointments, especially in people and in things, but do stick to that thou knowest to be correct and in keeping with the law of the Lord, the universal consciousness; not that particularly as the law of a land but as creative, helpful forces ever.
16. Before that the entity was in Egypt when there were those activities in which individuals were prepared as emissaries.
17. The entity was among those trained in the Temple Beautiful for activities in teaching, in preparing the young for activities of service in body and in mind.
18. Thus those things pertaining to scientific interests, as well as the preservation of homes and of ideas and of certain groups, are a part of the entity's consciousness.
19. The name then was Il-elarn.
20. As to the abilities of the entity, we find that these are only limited according to that the entity sets as its ideal, and according to the spirit and purpose and ideal chosen or set forth in its activities.
21. Study first thyself, then. Be true to thine own ideal. Show forth the love thou seekest to manifest in and among thy fellow men.
