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 of that entity now known as or called [5355].
3. Here we find an entity given to great numbers of abilities and especially gifted in music, in interpreting of song; better as a judge of a good voice, and this is what the entity should give itself to, for others, as well as offering an outlet for the abilities. Sponsor young singers or musicians, in aiding in their start and in their presentation of abilities before those who are qualified to aid such students in completing and in giving to the public this class of activity, and helping those also needing help.
4. In analyzing, then, the abilities of the entity, these are many. For all of the arts might well be said to be represented; as a judge or as a sponsor of, and as a contributor to, all phases of music, instrumental as well as vocal, that which would pertain to the arts in interior decorating, as wall paper design, as pattern of friezes, decorations in buildings, especially large buildings where the activities of a nation or a country or of a locality are to be depicted. All such should be the outlets for the body-activities.
5. Astrologically we find Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus as influences, and thus the entity is ever surrounded by those who are admirers because of its talents and abilities.

Don't let these turn the head or make thee too self-conscious.
6. The entity is also among those who might gain by games of chance. These are well to be held in check, for such might easily become stumblingblocks rather than helpful forces in the experience of the entity.
7. As for the appearances in the earth, these have been quite varied.
8. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity during those periods following those rebuildings of the environs of early Chicago. Here we find the entity was among those who contributed to those activities in which there were the improvements of the entertainments, of the environment, for those who would be active in interpreting the arts and sciences.
9. The entity was in the name then Edna McCall. In the experience the entity contributed much to the early welfare of the land and the peoples, though it became rather self-conscious in some periods of the activities; and thus some questions, and hence the warnings as to taking too much time in games of chance or in allowing position to make the entity too self-conscious.
10. Before that we find the entity was in the Roman land when there was a uniting of the activities from the Grecian land to the Roman experience, or the fostering of the manners of expression, or the dramatic art which was first introduced in Rome. The entity was then a patron of same, as one close in relationships to the rulers, and thus the entity then was known as Galius.
11. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land with the preparations for those to become emissaries in other lands. The entity was among those who were the instructors as well as, in a portion of the experience, having an interest in the activities in the Gobi land.
12. Thus certain phases of the cultural activities in China appeal to the entity.
13. As to the abilities of the entity, then, that to which it may attain and how, most of those things which are good materially will be parts of the experience of the entity in this sojourn. Use them; don't abuse them. Realize they are gifts from what may be called providence or of the divine, and as to how good a keeper ye have been of the talents lent thee depends upon the harmony which may be in thy experience and as to what may be the opportunities and possibilities in experiences to come.
14. As has been indicated, do by sponsorship give help to those seeking in voice, in music, to find or to contribute
5355-1 Page 3
something to the welfare of the people of the nation, of musical talent. Do help there.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What interests should I take up in later years? (A) As has just been indicated.
17. (Q) What have been my former relationships with the following, and what urges are indicated in the present: My mother, [...]? (A) Ye worked together in the experience just before this in making the environs a much better place for peoples, for others. "For others" ever being the watchword, a spiritual, a mental and a material growth may be expected in any entity's experience.
18. (Q) My father, [...]? (A) In the experience in the Roman land and there we find the entity looked forward to their counsels together.
19. (Q) My husband, [3201]? (A) In Egypt, as well as in the experience just before this.
20. (Q) My son, [3202]? (A) In Egypt.
21. (Q) My daughter, [5351]? (A) Through the experiences ye have been very close together. Do give this entity an opportunity in all of the things ye had hoped for, for thyself, yet never quite attained to.
22. (Q) My son, [5352]? (A) This we don't find.
23. (Q) My mother-in-law, [3006]? (A) Especially in the Egyptian experience when ye contributed much one to the other.
