1. GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here [5131].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records we would minimize the faults, and we would magnify the virtues; yet as we find, little may be accomplished by the entity unless there are definite stands taken as to the activity of physical individuals in the material world for activities and unfoldment in another consciousness.
4. We find that the entity takes on a great deal of the sufferings of others, hence the inclination for the entity to overtax itself, especially when it comes to doing things for others.
5. As we find indicated, while there are urges that may cause the entity to become a nurse, a companion and one ready with its activities to bring others to better understanding, yet in the experience there are definite urges which should be not merely gratified but which the entity should enter into with the purpose.
6. Decide in self in every phase of those unfoldments, for as the entity finds, with the general conditions about the body there are those tendencies for the body to put off. But we would find that the entity would do well, if it will make its greater contributions to the world of affairs, to write books; especially those as to discipline in the direction of children, those of the teen-age years.

do. We will change the vibrations of the entity so as to become more alert, more keen to the activities which pertain to all forms of information given to others.
7. As to appearances in the earth, while all may not be given, these are indicated to show the pattern in the entity's experience.
8. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, in the name of Georgiana Watson, among those of the early activities or settlers in the land.
9. Then the entity made the contribution of reporting the "following through" with the interpretations of experiences in the land of individuals during that particular period of sojourn.
10. In the experience the entity gained, and if the entity practices and follows, may it achieve much with its writing, if it practices, that will be of material gain; for in giving out to others, ye gain for thine own self.
11. Before that the entity was in the Roman land during those experiences following the sojourn of the Master in the earth.
12. The entity joined with those in those activities that would bring about not merely the short-sightedness, but the general message to those whom the entity aided, or may aid, in receiving the greater studies of such in the present.
13. In the name then Arlenger; the entity acted with those during those distressed reactions in the sojourns through the earth.
14. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods when others were preparing for the teaching of the tenets to be prepared, which were finally brought in agreement from out of the confusion with all of those activities.
15. Hence the abilities to write, especially for the teen-age girls. In making contributions in this manner may the entity gain the greater abilities for being of a greater service to the greater number of people.
16. Keep thine own counsel, but do give all thy abilities in writing for others.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What definite steps should I take in making preparation for my writing? (A) Just prepare self by putting self in the mental aspect in relation to teen-age girls, places, answering the questions by story, by the actual knowledge of self in relationship to physical, mental and spiritual things of the earth.
19. (Q) Any advice for mental and spiritual advancement?

(A) Study to show forth thy appreciation of grace and mercy. Study to be that thou would dare to be, condemning no one, but keeping self unspotted from the world.
