1. GC: You will give the relations 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 plane, giving the development for 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: Pretty large county!
3. We have the records here of that entity now called [5230]. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, there are many urges which have been and are latent and manifested in the personality of this present entity. Yet, as we find, there are factors which prompt and bring urges in very definite manners.
4. That there have been disappointments, that there is not a family of its own in greater measures, is indicated. Yet people and progress, young people and their environment, their training is of particular interest to the entity; welfare leagues, Red Cross, YMCA. All such organized efforts have a special attraction for the entity. Yet as we find, while it is well to work through organized efforts, this should be to the entity somewhat even more personal than that.
5. For the entity, as viewed from the combination of the physical or material manifestations and the urges from latent activities in consciousness of other realms, this should be a more personal work. If the entity would, then, undertake physical education especially for the teen-age girl, it would be well. Become rather as the individual whom groups of high school age would look to as mother, for the entity might mother the entire group.

6. The physical education we find indicating that there would be taken into consideration the homes, the environs, the abilities; not regimentation, but training from the manner of dress, the manner of conduct, in the home, in the relations to members of the home, in the education of dress, of hair-do, of conduct through the whole period of a year, two years. Thus we would find the entity finding an outlet for self which may not only contribute to the entity's peace of mind, and the entity's fulfilling of a desire, but contribute much to the motherhood of this land in many places.
7. For such direction is not to be counted in dollars or cents. It goes far beyond that. Since the entity is innately and manifestedly capable in such direction, it would require only that there be taken just a little time, even between now and when a school somewhere would open this fall. Let it become a part of a public service. The entity may become, then, one who would be sought in many places for the organizing, for the establishing of such a regulation or ruling in relationships to classes in public schools.
8. As to the urges which are latent from astrological aspects, these will bring group activity. For in Jupiter, in Venus, in Mars, in Uranus, we find the urges.
9. In Jupiter we find the universal consciousness, the benevolent activity, the desire for home. In Uranus, Jupiter and Venus we find the beauty, the abilities for direction or posture, of color, of hair-do, of the ways in which such would be conducted. These would be in keeping with the dreams, as it were, of the entity itself.
10. As to the appearances in the earth, these we find quite varied and not all may be given but these which may indicate for the entity these latent powers, latent abilities in the experience.
11. Before this we find the entity was among those groups who undertook to go West with the periods of discovery of gold in California. The entity then was among a group, in the name Mary Meyers. A lovely girl of some fourteen years when again, at or near what is now St. Joe, there were those periods of disturbance, when many of the families were combined and left with children to be cared for.
12. The entity became then a mother to many who were not of her own family, and yet did a good job of rearing those in those ways which brought a credit, not only to the entity, but that group who entrusted the entity with their charges.
13. Thus the entity, from the spiritual source, is better endowed than many an individual for such undertakings.
14. But for this entity to apply it as an organized activity
5230-1 Page 3
or in national organization will cause the entity to lose that personal touch which the entity today may give to many who would be lost in a larger group activity.
15. In the experience the entity gained throughout. There was the disappointment of individuals over love, and not too sublime a judgment, as will be seen from other experiences.
16. Before that we find the entity was in the English land when there were those efforts for organizing of groups for special preparations in teaching.
17. The entity was then in the name Clair Callahann. In the experience the entity was a teacher, an instructor in that which applied to home economics, as well as the learning of reading, writing and mathematics; conducting a home, buying, disposing of those things which were to be wasted in such, and these activities brought a sternness to the entity which still is a part of that consciousness; yet the determinations in self to meet these may be turned into smiles. For a smile gains entrance into the confidences of individuals when reprimands bring little but resentments.
18. Find an interest common to both, if you would find or make the abilities to interest others. For those who are interested in us are those in whom we are interested. All souls are precious in the sight of the Maker. Let all experiences of the teen-age girl, who are to be the mothers, the home builders of this fair land, be of interest to thee, and you will see even a greater change than ye did in those experiences when ye builded in Cromwell's day.
19. Before that we find the entity was in the Grecian land when there were activities in bringing other groups, to the last, under subjugation, when wars brought turmoils, and the entity undertook to aid in the nursing, in the caring for those who were offering themselves in a service.
20. These brought hardships to the entity, yet in that brought to the lives of others made for harmonious experiences, save in the loss of one with whom the entity became materially infatuated.
21. Ye have met him again and ye are interested, yet fearful, and have become disappointed.
22. Build, then, rather in the minds and the hearts, lives and bodies of those who are to have their homes, their children, their problems, and you will find ye will bring peace and harmony into thine experience.
23. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, among those children who came in with the Atlanteans from what is now portions of Spain.
24. The entity was given those activities to interpret customs, languages, and those activities of
5230-1 Page 4
inter-relationships of strange peoples in a strange land.
25. Thus organized activities, the abilities to meet peoples, become a part of the entity's inner consciousness.
26. As to the abilities of the entity, then, that to which it may attain and how:
27. As may be inferred, peace within self first must be found, which comes from the abiding faith in the universal consciousness or love as manifested by Jesus the Christ. This first applied in self, then in the associations with others, especially of those groups in those directions indicated, we will find harmony, a life experience which will bring not only a better place for others to live, but more harmony in self's own experience.
