TEXT

1. GC: You will give the relation 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, and that to which it may attain, and how:
2. EC: (In going back over years from the present - " - '35 - change - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the entity and those records of same, - now known as or called [1074].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, these are chosen with the desire that this be a helpful experience for the entity.
5. As has been noted or experienced, in some things the entity may excel, be rather unusual, especially as to anything that would have to do with sports, or outdoor sports. This we will see from sojourns in the material plane.
6. The earthly or material sojourns have not been so often. Hence the entity is a great deal matter of fact, yet is quite sensitive to feelings; and the entity is imposed upon by others because of its trust that it puts in individuals or circumstance, or the innate feelings of trust as experienced by the entity.
7. From the astrological aspects we find one under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. Hence the entity is home loving, and yet fond of sports of all characters, - especially such as tennis, skating and the like. These, as we shall see, are a portion of the entity's PHYSICAL development, and are easily laid aside, - yet might be used as a means for activity, as an instructor or director of such for an experience. But, as we shall see, the home is the greater expression for the entity, owing to the innate and latent desires from other experiences in the material sojourn.
8. Also from Venus we find the love of the beautiful, even of the body-beautiful, of art, of nature, of all forms of activity as would pertain to the natural sources of beauty. All of the activities of beauty in its relationship to nature become as a part of the entity.
9. From Jupiter with Uranus we find both the good and bad influence as to PUBLIC associations; yet, as we find, with the application more of the mental and spiritual truths within self, these may be made to bring that beauty, that harmony in home building.
10. As to the influences arising from the sojourns in the material plane, we find that these have been rather unusual in some respects; and yet they are in keeping with the innate and manifested abilities and energies, traits and characteristics in the present experience of the entity. The entity is inclined to be rather sensitive in matters pertaining to the mystical.
11. For, before this we find the entity was in that land now known as Chicago, or Fort Dearborn; being of the native peoples of the land, yet closely associated or affiliated with the white race; its companion being of the white race, and that same entity who is the companion during this present sojourn.
12. The entity excelled in its abilities as to woodcraft, as to activities in which there was the use of the body in sports, in games, in running, in racing, and in such activities.
13. Yet the great changes which came about made for the longing for home, or a place of settlement, and not the running about or change so much.
14. Hence nature and travel are INNATELY a part of the entity's present experience; yet as of the educational, rather than the mere fact of change, - as recreational and the like, rather than just to be moving or trooping about.
15. The name then was Maya. In the experience the entity gained throughout; though in some respects, as judgements would be in the present day, the entity was not well treated at all periods. However, the entity stood out as a favorite among many with whom the entity came in contact during that sojourn. Yet it makes in the present for those innate feelings of shyness among great numbers of people; and especially certain groups, or certain individuals the entity feels drawn to, and repulsed by others, - because of the very nature of those experiences in that sojourn.
16. Hence the abilities for activities about a home, the beautifying of same, the expressions of activity in nature and natural sources and resources, become a part of the entity's experience.
17. Before that the entity was in the Grecian land, during those periods when there was the greater stress put upon the body-beautiful, - as manifested not only in the activities upon the stage - or what later became determined as the stage activity - but as a reader.
18. Hence the entity was in the opposite sex in that experience, [See husband's Life Reading, 1885-2 saying he was a woman in that incarnation.] and given to an activity of modeling in clay, or in stone, or in those things in which there was the preserving of the various activities of the people of that period.
19. Yet the latter portion of the experience was given rather to the attempts to introduce and to bring to other lands, - as in the Roman land, - the games such as would be called in the present handball, or a form of ball game with pitching back and forth and the expression of such activities.
20. Hence we find again that sports, and the outdoor life and activities, are a part of the present urges; yet the appreciations of the influence of such for body-development, body-building, as well as for supplying entertainments and activities for individuals and groups alike.
21. The name then was Hercelecon. In the experience the entity gained in the physical and mental and spiritual; for the thoughts of others, the activities of others, brought into the experience the appreciation of relationships with individuals and groups.
22. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there was the reconstruction and when there were the activities which brought about the many changes, - in the establishing of groups for the building up of homes and of activities as related to the preparation especially of individuals for motherhood, - which were applied to both state and religious cults and organizations, as would be termed in the present.
23. Thus we find the entity was an associate with those in the Temple Beautiful, and the activities or training under the Priest in that experience brought for the entity a development that surpassed many of those who were considered to be of a better strain or line. And the entity gained throughout, owing to the tenets and teachings which brought about the UNISON of activity upon the part of those as related to the advancing of peoples from every form of life and development.
24. The entity stressed home building as a means, as a manner, and the separation of individuals for companions in establishing homes, - not by the choice of state but by choice of the individuals themselves.
25. Hence these we find as innate and manifested experiences in the activities of the entity in the present.
26. The name then was Su-El-Po.
27. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:
28. There is not a divided purpose, but there are many divided abilities in the experience of the entity in the present, as indicated.
29. In the home building, the home training, the building or establishing of a home, is the greater joy, the greater hope, - not only for the entity and those with whom it may be associated, but for the whole world; and these are as the experience of the entity from the Egyptian relationships.
30. As to the abilities in games, or recreations, and in the directing of others, - these are an outlet; but as a keeping fit rather than as a profession - though these should not be lost sight of.
31. The SPIRITUALITY as applied with the mental and PHYSICAL abilities will bring the greater peace and harmony; so that the spiritual laws, as with the natural laws (which are innately understood by the entity), may unify the purpose for the glory of Creative Forces, or God, in its experiences and in its relationships with others, - and in the home.
32. Ready for questions.
33. (Q) There is a great controversy between my husband and me as to my status in our home. He urges me to go into some business and be a career person, but my greatest desire is to stay in my home and make it a real home. I feel my career is to raise our daughter. Can you clarify this situation any by suggestions?
    (A) Apply that as we have indicated, as we find, as being the manner in which the greater hope, the greater joy, the greater peace may be accomplished, - not only for self but all concerned. Not as a career in those activities of sports or games, but as a keeping fit, as an aid to others, very good.
34. We are through for the present.
