TEXT

1. LS: You will give detailed information relative to the appearance of the soul and spirit of that body in the Puritan forces as given in horoscope reading of November 9th.
2. EC: In this we find the appearances were in those that brought destructive forces through the self-aggrandizement through the will as brought in that of the ruling elements to those that were given to bring the thoughts of the spirit forces of others to the plains people. Yes, he acted here in the form of stool-dipper¹.
3. (Q) What was the name at that time?
   (A) Alfred Oldham, Mass., ... & Commons of what is now Lynn, now at the present time.
4. (Q) What are the characteristics exhibited in the present entity from that appearance?
   (A) The study of those forces, and in the questioning of self and individual self as to those characters as brought the destructive forces to self through that period, or place, or sphere. This is opposite to those at present, as we have outlined.
   Follow those. Keep close to the right and narrow way, giving understanding that development from each and every entity must be upon its own forces, with Love and Charity to all, and giving the best of self to build that which is the real in every plane, the spirit force, or the companion to the soul of every entity.
