1. GC: 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 developed or retarded the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: This is a new cycle.
3. Here we have the experience of an entity through the years, because of what others say, constantly submerging that which has ever been the real interest of the entity: Intuition, things psychic, mysteries and such activities. Had the body, through these years not allowed what others said to influence the body to keep this intuition out of the life, much greater would have been the development of the body.
4. In the present those astrological aspects mean very little. But begin to study all phases of psychic phenomena, though don't begin with automatic writing. For this would soon lead to such channels as to be more detrimental than beneficial. But begin to read the scripture, searching for those portions of same that give the warning, as well as the instruction as to how one would seek to be an individual who may give a great deal to mankind. This undertaken, the entity may set itself to be of a great help to others through any phase of psychic forces it would choose to demonstrate.
5. Know that it is not too far afield, but do gain the understanding from beginning with this: Take Exodus 19:5. To be sure, it is interpreted by many here that the Creative Forces or God are speaking to a peculiar people. You were
5124-1 Page 2
one of them. Why not, then, today? Although through the years your name has been changed, the soul is the same. Hence this is, as it were, spoken to thee.
6. Then take the 30th of Deuteronomy, where there is the admonition as to the source, that it's not from somewhere else, but it is within thine own self. For that influence of the Creative Force is so near, yea closer even than thy own hand!
7. Then analyze that, reading in connection with same all of the story of Ruth as to her sincerity. And if it needs to be, those companionships may be drawn from thine own activities, and the fear of what may be in the future will fade as the mists before the morning sun.
8. For in the study of these, not merely read to know them, but get the meaning of universal love, not attempting to make it personal but universal. For God is love and, as ye go about to manifest same in thy conversation, ye may find the true meaning of love.
9. Study also astrological subjects, not as termed by some, but rather in the light of that which may be gained through a study of His word. For, as it was given from the beginning, those planets, the stars, are given for signs, for seasons, for years, that man may indeed (in his contemplation of the universe) find his closer relationships.
10. For man is made a co-creator with the Godhead. Not that man is good or bad according to the position of the stars, but the position of the stars brings what an individual entity has done about God's plan into the earth activities during those individual periods when man has the opportunity to enter or come into material manifestations.
11. In the study, forsake not, of course, the true way and light. As is given from the beginning: God said, "Let there be light" and there was light, and that light became, and is the light of the world. For it is true that light, that knowledge, the understanding of that Jesus who became the Christ, is indeed thy elder brother and yet Creator, Maker of the universe; and thus are ye a part of same and a directing influence.
12. Then, as ye practice His principles ye become aware of same. And these are first: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy mind, thy soul, and thy neighbor as thyself."
13. Study then, also the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John as it speaks to thee, and as to how ye may apply thyself in the intuition, the walks with divine influences.
14. And it is with what spirit ye entertain that ye measure
5124-1 Page 3
that kind of helpfulness to thy Maker. Do what thou doest intuitionally, or as the spirit moves thee.
15. As to the appearances in the earth, these have been far apart and yet they indicate the pattern.
16. Before this ye found thyself among those who were the companions with Joan of Arc, as called in the present. And the helpfulness the entity gave to that individual is the same that is required for the entity in the present to interpret self-direction.
17. Then the entity was known as Jeanne Feucheuerr. In the experience the entity was unknown to many and yet the power behind the individual entity gained such notoriety as to be sainted by those in whose ministration the individual acted, yet found not favor with men.
18. The individual entity here has found something of the same and yet, as indicated, may bring about the activities that were in the experience of that day.
19. Before that we find the entity was among those of the children who were blessed by the Master in those periods when they came to be in His presence. In the name then Ruth.
20. Before that we find the entity in the Holy Land when there were those admonitions being given just before the entering by the lawgiver, Moses. The entity was then among the children of Elijah the Priest, in the name then Miriam, and the entity became one to whom those in active service in the temple harkened.
21. Then know the law of the Lord, for it is perfect, and it's not hard to interpret if ye do apply it literally, spiritually, mentally. If ye try to explain it, it is hard; live it, it is easy.
22. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those peoples who were interpreting the law as had been proclaimed by the Priest, and those tenets which were part of the mission in the Temple Beautiful.
23. The entity then aided in setting the order of the home rule, as homes were established after the Priest's passing. Thus home security, physically, mentally, always seems to the entity something that must be, if there would be peace of mind.
24. In the name then Ibjaln.
25. As to the abilities of the entity then:
26. If ye will apply, if ye will trust, if ye will live those truths known, they are unlimited.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) Would it be advisable to sell my home; if so, where should I locate?
5124-1 Page 4
(A) When the entity has become proficient in being able to give others that interpretation for activity in their lives, then locate wherever the entity chooses. In the south in the winter, and in the north in the summer, but go along the east coast, not to the west coast. From Maine, then to Florida, may the entity find regular periods of residence.
29. (Q) Would it be well to seek marriage in this life? (A) As has been indicated, this may come of itself, but control those influences. It will come through one ye meet in thy activity. If ye choose not the activity, it will not come.
