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: This is funny, there are only twenty-three other people born on June 23, 1913 in the U.S.A. that are men.
3. In giving the interpretations of the records of the entity here, as we find, it is rather a problem with the entity in choosing activity, owing to urges because of the tendency of feminine activity in the entity's characteristics.
4. Only in music, in the training in music would entity find a complete or full outlet for itself. In the piano and guitar, these would be the musical instruments that would be better for the entity, in it's attempt to find an outlet for itself.
5. As to urges astrologically, we find Venus and Jupiter, now indicating characteristics, that as we find, may best be expressed in music, and especially that related to sacred or classical, rather than to the character of nature, although the descriptive, or that which may be called pastoral is that in which the entity may find expression, for the entity will be able to compose also.
6. As to the appearances of the entity in the earth plane, these as we find have been quite varied.
7. Before this we find that the entity was in the land of the present nativity, then in the name of Jane Witherill.

In the experience, the entity was mannish, and it's activities showed questioning in the experience as to the relationship with some of the activities of natives in the early settling of the lands. These brought disturbances in the experiences of the entity, and yet, the activity that arose from same, as to the study of nature and song and music, are the experiences of the entity in the present.
8. Before that we find the entity was in that now known as the French land during those periods of the Crusaders. The entity then was a girl who became betrothed to a man who soon was sent to activities in the Holy Land. Knowing little or nothing of the duty of matrimony, the entity's whole experience was filled with suppression and fear of the activity that might be in relationship with others. This brought hate to the entity for those of the opposite sex. The entity was well in years before these fears were removed from the body. Thus the conditions that exist at present in relationship to physical activity and the activity in sex relationship. The name then was Juean Horellett.
9. In that experience many varied feelings toward individuals, toward groups, toward those of certain activities in relationship with others, became a part of the experience, and the presence of doubts and fears of men, and the doubts and fears of women, are parts of the consciousness of the entity, and yet, as has been indicated, in sacred or in classical music may the entity find relief. And then study self in relationship to the Creative Forces. These should be the real study of the entity.
10. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, following those periods when there were those preparations for the establishing of homes in the Egyptian land, following the demise and passing of the Priest. The entity was among those who heard a great deal of those regimes in which there were the various activities, as to how and why the state had chosen as to that activity under which most of those were educated in the Temple Beautiful, and were given definite positions in the affairs of the people. This we find in the entity at the present, the lack of whole faith in self, and yet, as has been indicated, if there will be the systematic study in self, as related to the Creative Forces, it may bring confidence to the entity in the present, for then the entity was of male sex and gained in it's activity through it a service to others, in musical activities.
11. As to the abilities then, we find that these will be nil, unless definite undertakings are started to apply music for the body in it's soul nature, or classical nature, and

that of nature itself, or the pastoral character. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Through what work or works may I best serve my family, my fellowmen and my spiritual development? (A) The work in which the entity will find peace and harmony.
