TEXT

GC: You will have before you the entity [933], named at birth [933], born October 21, 1914, in Boston, Mass. You will give for this entity a Check Life Reading at this time, with information, advice and guidance as to his mental, material and spiritual welfare; which will help him make life more worth while for self and others. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the records here, and the information which has been indicated through these channels respecting the activities of this entity in this present sojourn, - now called [933].
In giving that as we find may be the most helpful, we would counsel that the entity study what has already been given through this channel; not only the original information as to appearances and activities but also that given as to the application of self in those fields of service in which there might be the greater response to that within self.
To be sure, much of that given as to the latent forces and vibrations about the body is indicated in the periods of turmoil, indecision, and the desires that naturally arise as innate experiences.
It is indicated that the entity, through its choice of activity, has made preparations for material service in the present, - yet this does not wholly satisfy.
As we find - now - we would take a course in electrotherapy, which as we have indicated is the channel through which the body might, - if there is the finding of self, - make the better and the greater application for beneficial results to individuals; rather than merely the biological aspects of conditions that may arise from same.
The innate ability as the musician should and will exert itself. More often the entity should turn to that natal and natural ability in music, when there are those periods of indecision, periods of loneliness, periods of wonderment, - to find that quieting influence.
For, it has been truly said, music alone spans the sphere of spiritual and mental attainment.
Then, rather than in those applications that are as rote, as found in biological studies, - prepare self more for the application of helpful experiences in same; as of music - that vibrates to the body in the same manner as electrotherapy of the short wave, of the high vibration, - for it is the lowest form of vibration electrically that gives creative forces, rather than the highest. It is the high vibration that destroys.
The study and the application of self in THOSE directions in the present, as we find, from the material angle, should and will bring harmony, - if there is the application of self and the holding to that as indicated in those experiences when the entity was a teacher, to whom many came to be taught the spiritual truths. [See 933-1.]
Apply that in self and in self's problems in the present.
DO NOT - for any cause - attempt to defeat the purposes of the Creative Forces, or God, with thy activities or with others' activities.
Thus innately, and much more manifestedly, there may come the helpful forces by the entity turning the more oft to the analyzing of self in those directions that have been heretofore indicated, and as we would give here.
FIND the answer within self. KNOW it is not by chance that the opportunities are before thee in the present. Hence studying first to know thy ideal, - spiritually, mentally, materially, - show thyself approved in all good conscience unto that thou hast chosen as thy ideal.
Then applying self in those directions, we should find not only harmony and success materially, but that feeling, that peace as He has promised to all who seek to know His way.
Do that.
Not in any exaltation, nor in any justification, but as a GLORIFYING of Creative Forces - God - in thy activities, in thy dealing with thy fellow men.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Please give the exact time of my birth.
(A) Nine-thirty in the evening, October 21, 1914.
(Q) What is the correct system to use in astrology - the Heliocentric or the geocentric system?
(A) As we have indicated, the Persian - or the geocentric - is the nearer correct.
But, as we have also indicated, these - the astrological urges - are ONLY tendencies! Choices must be made, and the application of self to the universal laws is effective - in EACH life!
Do these things as we have indicated.
Analyze all that has been given. See how it fits into thy longings, thy hopes; and ye will find that it may be made practical in the daily life.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

7/18/41 Sister Miss [338]'s letter:
Many thanks to you for the very fine Rdg. received this morning. I know that [933] will find a great deal of food for thought in it when he reads it tonight.
There is, however, one thing that I must get straightened out on, and that is the date and time of birth. I happen to know [933] was born in the very early morning - around daybreak - because I was there. I had always thought that it was the 24th of October, until his life rdg. gave it as the 21st. Now I don't know what to think, for if the time of birth is incorrect the date could be also. (Please excuse the abrupt way in which I speak, I don't mean to be rude.) Do you suppose that there is a law involved which I know nothing of? For instance, do you suppose that there is a set time for humans to be born, and that even though the birth of the body into the earth is delayed that the coming of the spirit body into earth is the true record? I had understood that birth took place at the time that the first breath of air entered the child's lungs. This brings up something that I'm especially interested in, as planetary influence is gauged from time of birth. Perhaps you will be able to get something further, or get the reason for the time of birth being given as 9:30 on Oct. 21st...
I wonder sometimes how either [933] or myself have preserved our sanity thus far, for Mother and [1211] are more of a problem every day - mother especially unbalanced since [256] went.
[933] sends his deepest thanks to you for your help and interest. With love to you all.
7/25/41 EC's letter: "Now about the birth time of [933]. Miss [338], the readings make a distinction between the physical and the spiritual birth, and indicate there may be even more than 24 hours between the time. You may be exactly right regards the physical. Will try and get the question in the very first chance - when have a reading where we can. Won't, unless you wish, give a whole period to that question, but will first chance."
1/21/42 Miss [338]'s letter: "In answer to yours of the 8th [in re prayer for divine guidance - see under 2678-1 Background], which should have been answered sooner. I had looked for just such a letter from you, for we all need direction from the God source. I have been praying for divine guidance - it is a part of my prayer at all times, for I know that no prayer goes unanswered. One cannot hold as their ideal the teachings and life of the Master Jesus, and at the same time take part in a man made war, or even to enroll under such a banner. The two, in my mind, do not go together, and I speak also for [933], by his request. He may be called now at any time - has prayed that God will show him the way, but will definitely not fight. It may be that his duty would lie in the way of working with the doctors, as he has been and is now, doing research in chemical analysis at the Boston City Hospital, on disease."
10/31/43 "[933] has not been drafted - a great blessing. He is on the staff at Harvard University Lab., and doing research work for the Govt. He was away all summer on trips, with the doctors in the Lab., going to different army camps, and went as far South as Alabama. We were speaking of you last night, and he was wishing for the time when he could see you and talk with you again - for he thinks the world of you."
