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 records here, [5133].
3. As we find, there are latent abilities which as yet have received very little attention by the entity in any of its applications, but if the entity will apply itself it may yet make practical application of its abilities. And in its return to studies since discharge, do take that branch in which the entity will use pen and ink to formulate drawings, which may be used even in serials. For the entity has an ingenious or creative ability in these directions, and with applications made in such directions the entity can, and may, make a material success, as well as find mental and spiritual development, if the entity will keep the mental and spiritual first and foremost in the entity's application.
4. To be sure these may be at a variance, for there will be periods when, with the material success and the environs into which this may be drawn, it will meet problems with the opposite sex, and it is up to the entity to be so balanced in the spiritual ways as to be kept in the straight and narrow.
5. As to urges from the astrological aspects, we find Neptune, Venus and Uranus. These will bring the interest in the mysterious; interest in the beautiful; interest in those things that would have to do with marine life, or the sea.

6. The entity should spend a great deal of its time close to those areas where vines and vegetations come close to the sea. These will be the environs and the activities in which the entity will find the greater vibrations for abilities.
7. There are inclinations at times for the entity to just rest. This doesn't indicate laziness, unless entity cultivates same; then it may grow to be a burden or stumbling stone in the experience of the entity, but when such periods are used to entertain creative ideas, these may bring periods of great help to the entity.
8. As to the appearances in the earth, these are quite far apart, quite varied in their aspects and yet these are given as a pattern indicating as to how and why the entity would do well with pencil or ink and brush.
9. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, among those early settlers in this land. Then in the name of one John Lerman the entity was active in the recording of various scenes by the use of pencil and brush, and by using much of raw material as a means to do the pencilling, and then "touching in" all various forms of animal life, as well as domestic life of individuals. Through its experience in doing this work the entity used the name then of Rachel Wynne. In the experience the entity gained.
10. Before that we find that the entity was in that now known as the Roman land. The entity, with those individuals who had come into the Roman land from the Grecian, began to practice the use of the body-beautiful in its designs, and then in those activities as a sculptor and an entertainer. These brought some fame to the entity, and then the entity withdrew of itself. Giovenee was the name then.
11. The entity in the experience before that, we find, was in the Egyptian land when there were those activities for the choice of vocational guidance. The entity passed through the services in the Temple Beautiful, thus became an exponent of the tenets and truths that were set down regarding the activities at home; and hence, as is experienced by the entity, those that are needed to be attended to first are thine own principles as to the sources and causes, and as to keeping self unspotted from the world. These are the means and manners, then to apply self.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Why do I feel so uncertain and depressed since my honorable discharge from the army? (A) This is so far apart from that which is a part of the
5133-1 Page 3
inner experience.
14. (Q) What was my past association with my mother, and what are the urges in the present? (A) In the experience before this, an acquaintance; in Egypt the same position as you occupy in the present.
15. (Q) Is there some such college you would suggest to get this training? (A) This can be had in many. Those that will give due respect (as you study it over) to the tenets and truths given here.
