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, or 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 of that entity now called [5141]. In giving an interpretation of the records, there are many very definite decisions made by the entity, and these refer as much to that which may be the course of the experience or the life of the entity in the earth's plane as in any correspondence that might be had regarding same.
3. For the entity is a "sensitive" itself and may hear, feel or interpret premonitions in its own body-experience, to a greater or lesser degree; this degree depending upon the application of the entity to the conditions or environs or surroundings of the entity.
4. The abilities of the entity to judge a person at once is sometimes carried most too far. It is well that impressions be heeded, but as will be seen from the pattern of the entity, this may apply: "Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye judge, it shall be meted to thee again."
5. Thus, as the entity studies the problems of the conditions, it is well that those things be kept directly in mind.
6. While there is an appeal to the entity for the great outdoors, yet as we find, the entity would be little adaptable to or not satisfied, in the environs of the country. Hence the city, where at least there are thirty,

forty, fifty thousand occupants, would be the sources of activities, but we would not change materially from the present environs; that is, the immediate - for these are well-grounded into those experiences of the entity, but when these things indicated are accomplished, there will be a much more joyous activity than may be had without understanding, interpreting the relationships of the sojourns from which the entity took its last flight.
7. Thus we find an entity capable of making a beautiful home, capable of making entertainment, and making those activities which bring about helpful forces for others.
8. We would not change the occupation, though the entity dislikes at times the confinement of the druggist, yet there are reasons why this has been a part of the consciousness, as we shall see through those experiences of the entity in the sojourns in the earth.
9. Before this we find the entity was in the Dearborn land or "Old Chicago". Thus the activities should be towards things which would pertain to a city, or endowments from a city, or activities in which groups or organizations would make for activities of the entity in its keeping records, as well as keeping accounts for same.
10. These are the channels in which the entity acts, and as indicated there should be the keeping of the activities as the druggist and later a change of environ would be well, but always in the larger city.
11. Do that.
12. Before that we find the entity was in the Holy Land during those periods when there was the keeping of groups together for aiding those who had established, and who were establishing, those periods of activities following the persecutions.
13. The entity was among those who looked after the ill, those who were bereaved in the various groups journeying from one city to another, but ever keeping faith with the brethren.
14. Thus the interest of the entity in things psychic, as well as the necessity of the entity following close to the dictates of its own conscience.
15. The name then was Asher.
16. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those activities in the Temple of Sacrifice.
17. The entity acted in the capacity, then, of what today is called the apothecary, or the chemist, or the compounder of medical herbs, or in the preparation of certain activities as related to surgery; which was practiced even in those days.

18. The name then was Erna-Dunn.
19. As to the abilities of the entity, that to which it may attain: The activities had best be in those directions indicated. Not too much travel about, although this may be a part of the consciousness. But as we find, in places like Memphis, Tenn, Austin, Texas; or in such as St. Charles, La., or such may be the better environs for the entity.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (A) If a change in the environs is made, would you advise that I dispose of my present store? (A) Not necessarily, but these would eventually be well, and when such is done, the papers needed will be at hand.
22. (Q) Would my health stand for this change? (A) Health would be better in the change.
