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: Why'nt you keep your right name?
3. Yes - we have those records here of that entity now called [5829].
4. In interpreting these we find a composite of those urges arising from the interims of sojourn in other realms or spheres of consciousness than the three dimensions experienced in the physical earth.
5. We find here an entity almost always feeling self-sufficient, yet when the urges that have arisen are considered and when the opportunities are given, we find there should be companionship - yet even in companionship there should never be the attempt for these individual entities to work together. For the entity is a speaker, a teacher, an instructor; and such in the opposite sex would never appeal to the entity - rather those who would be rather in a commercial activity that deal with things that may be interesting for individuals or peoples.
6. The entity's activities should be, and are, in fields of instruction, whether by teaching or by writing. We find that the entity, even now, may write a treatise on vocational guidance for people that would be not only an outlet for the entity in expressing itself but would contribute to the general and better individual welfare of many.
7. Astrological urges have become less and less a portion of
5729-1 Page 2
the entity, for not merely material things but the controlling of material things has become the deeper urge for this entity.
8. Hence the appearances in the earth and those that have a particular influence in the present are indicated, that the entity may take warning. Know that it isn't all of life to live. Neither is it all of life merely to make a success socially or financially. It is not satisfying to the soul, any more than the taking of thought will gratify the appetites or longings of nature in the body itself. These must have their answer one in and with another.
9. As to appearances in the earth:
10. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, when there was the exchanging of lands during the early settlings, between groups of people.
11. Then the entity's name was Esther Stuyvesant; no, not of the original group but among those same groups of people, of the same land. The entity was one well given to body-control in the physical, in the mental, and in the application of self to the controlling of groups in authority, even though not appearing in that role or capacity at all - rather as the power behind the throne.
12. Hence materiality. These expressions are very well, but they are short-lived. Remember, the soul, the mind of the soul is eternal.
13. Before that the entity was in the Roman land when there were those persecuted for seeking to emulate a spiritual principle.
14. The suffered in mind, in body; hence the reverse came in the sojourn that followed.
15. Then in the name Leitus, the entity was beautiful in body, answering to that which prompted many another individual to live for a cause, for a purpose. In the experience the entity found much of that which it may apply in the present, as a speaker, as an instructor, as a teacher; also as one enabling others to find their own vocation, their own activities, by the impelling forces - not merely by circumstances that attract an individual in certain periods of its development.
16. Before that the entity was in the Persian land during those periods when the "city in the hills" was builded, when many of the entity's household were drawn into the activities through the associations gradually builded in the commercial world.
17. The entity was among those who, with the destruction of the king's school, were set in charge of same; then in the name Casse. In the present experiences we find that the
5729-1 Page 3
lessons which were a portion of those of that period may be well applied.
18. Before that the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, but in the areas of the Southwest; for the entity then was among those called the Cliff Dwellers, being of those peoples who came up from Yucatan to the Northeast and to portions of Arizona and New Mexico - as now known.
19. The entity was a teacher, a leader, a priestess of the people.
20. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
21. Apply self in instruction, especially towards those things which will enable the young to choose their proper vocation; as in vocational guidance. Be a teacher, an instructor.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Shall my school continue or will I enter metaphysical work with Maxwell or under some other auspices? (A) As we find, best that there be the continuation of the school - but add special features in enabling others to find vocational guidance.
24. (Q) Will I marry; if so, when and under what conditions will we meet? (A) This is possible, but as to whether it happens depends upon whether or not you continue to say NO! One in a commercial field would be correct - and don't mix those relationships with the activities of self!
