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. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2005].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find of this entity, these are chosen with the desire that they may be helpful in the experience of the entity, as well as directions for those who create the environs for the entity in the moulding periods of its experience.
4. Here we find unusual conditions, especially owing to the long periods of interims between material sojourns. And thus we will find one that oft appears to be lost in confusions of itself; being highly sensitive to those influences from without.
5. Thus, as called by some, this is an entity whose psychic abilities - if they are developed - may surpass much of that which has been the experience of many in these sojourns.
6. Hence the needs for the study, the directing, the instructing of the entity in the sources of spiritual (not spiritualistic, but spiritual) influences. For these are, and will be, very strong as the entity advances or develops through this particular period.
7. Hence there should be a great deal of those instructions in suggestion, as well as in the spiritual guidance, spiritual instruction IN the imagination as well as in the tenets of the BOOK itself.
8. See that the entity knows not only the character but the characteristics and the sources of directions of individuals recorded in Holy Writ.
9. In the astrological aspects we find Neptune, Uranus, Venus and Saturn as the greater influence or force. Hence we will find the inclination for seeking the unusual places, strange conditions, - taking up with and associating with strange surroundings, having strange playmates, - the desire for unusual in pets and the like to be a part of the entity's innate and manifested personality even in the younger years; as well as periods of an UNDAUNTED temper!
10. From the Neptune influences, - keep away from large bodies of water! These are opposite from much of that accredited as an influence from the astrological aspects of Neptune; though those things that come FROM and OVER large bodies of water, places and surroundings of such nature, will be of a great interest to the entity; and the knowledge of same should be a part of the entity's experience.
11. In the Uranian influence we will find the extremes. And the entity will be the extremist, and thus needs the directing of the emotions as well as the studies of the entity in those things not of a purely puritanical nature, but as to the purposefulness in the experience of each. There needs to be the instilling of the necessity for practice in such, - just as it is necessary for practice if one would be a musician, or if one would be an athlete, or if one would be a specialty dancer. All of these as we find require practise, even if one is endowed with such abilities; for there are the needs of the timing, the understanding of the rhythm and the motion to be a part of the experience to make same as a joy and not a burden.
12. So it is with spiritual imports, with the mental and material attributes in such directions.
13. In the Saturn forces we will find great changes coming into the experience. And there are the needs for the direction as to the intents, as to those conditions that may be as pronouncements of the entity from one period to another. As seen, it is inclined to be a part of the entity's experience that it announces that it will do so and so, and when it is at such and such a place, then such and such other things may be accomplished. These are imaginative. These are intuitive. And these should be directed in such a way and manner that these do not become other than as stepping-stones for the development of the abilities of the entity, - and not stumbling-stones to the entity's best interest. For there will be periods, naturally with a Uranian, when for a few hours or a few minutes or a few days it will be very, very morose; very, very hard to understand WHY that such an attitude is taken. These will arise within the experience from out of nowhere, and these are the necessary forces then, as indicated in its spiritual aspects, for the directing of same.
14. As to the appearances in the earth, - these, as we have indicated, are very far apart.
15. Before this we find the entity was in the Norse land, during those periods when there were the peoples who journeyed towards other lands, and when there were the men who were spoken of as the daredevil, or who did the unusual.
16. The entity was close in association with, in the home of, not only the wife but the mother of many of those who ventured forth.
17. Thus we will hear at times those of positions, stands taken, or the staunch manners in which the entity will proclaim itself as to being in this or that influence or force, - arising from the experience of the entity there, as Mejel Hjdlensteflor.
18. In the experience it may be said that the entity gained. For not only patience but perseverance were a part of the entity's experience. But also loneliness and determination were a part of the entity's experience, that may be tempered.
19. And if these are tempered in those experiences in which the psychic or soul forces of the entity may develop, we will find great abilities, great activities of the entity throughout this sojourn.
20. The character of educational factors should have much to do with the directing of the entity in these directions.
21. Then, those of history, of travel, of literature, should be the greater forces; rather than economics or mathematics, - just sufficient of these to keep the balance in the influences for the entity.
22. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Promised Land, during those periods when there was the breaking up of the land under the king who was carried away captive into the Persian land.
23. There we find the entity was a granddaughter of that king Zedekiah, in the name Zelka; among those peoples who escaped from the activities under Nebechadnezzar's forces and took ship for that now known as Ireland.
24. There we find the entity was among those who set up or established a part of a settlement in that land. Hence then of a hardy people, those accustomed to things that would have to do with the out of doors.
25. Hence a great deal of the activity for the entity, both for its physical well being and for its better physical and spiritual development, should be in the out of doors.
26. Athletics of every nature should be a part of the entity's experience, as it develops in the teen age years especially.
27. In the experiences then we find the entity developed through those activities, bringing about the greater longings for places and activities where there might be the better mental and spiritual interpretations of those things that had been handed down to its peoples as customs, as things that happened in the varied ways and manners as legends of its peoples legends of its leaders, its kings, and those who wont not to stand before those of the powers of the south and the east and the north and the west. All of these are latent within the experience of the entity in the present sojourn.
28. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, now called; during those periods when there was the selecting of individuals for the services and activities through the combination of efforts of the Priest and the peoples from the Atlantean land, as well as the Natives.
29. The entity was among the Natives who made preparations for services in the Temple of Sacrifice as well as the Temple Beautiful; bringing into activity a great wealth of understanding as to the mysteries of odors, as to scents or scenes that would influence individuals during periods of their activity or meditations.
30. Thus we will find in the present experience the entity is subject to those influences that become almost as things tabu, - and yet these will be gradually a part of the entity's experience.
31. The name then was Ar-El-Ar.
32. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain, and how:
33. In those activities as we have indicated, if there are the developments, the entity may become a real seer; one interpreting many of the mysteries of old, as well as the mysteries of the activity or influences of the unseen forces within the experience of individuals. [See 6/29/73 Reports, 2005-1, Par. R12, by mother.]
34. Then, as has been given, these should be a part of the training in the spiritual and the mental aspects.
35. For with these, - if the entity in purpose, in desire is seeking for the voice within, - who may say as to what or where it may attain?
36. Ready for questions.
37. (Q) Should she have a physical reading?
    (A) A little later; not just now, as we find.
38. (Q) In a reading for the mother, the statement was made that there was "no danger for her to beware of until after next year." What might this danger be and how may it be avoided?
    (A) As has been indicated, in the activities dependent upon those influences or environs which may be altered or changed for the entity from that as was chosen BY the entity in its seeking expression.
39. (Q) Why has her life line suddenly faded out in the middle?
    (A) This has little or nothing to do with the periods of its sojourn, but of determining factors that arise in the emotions of the body within, or the life line itself.
40. (Q) Why is she so nervous, high strung, rebellious, and difficult to handle?
    (A) As indicated, from the very motivating forces. Thus the needs for the analyzing and studying of the entity for its better development.
    It is psychic, and KNOWS things when it SAYS it knows things!
41. (Q) Why can't she get along well with other people?
    (A) She usually understands them too well!
    It is necessary, then, that spiritual values and mental values be correct, and not merely for policy's values.
42. (Q) Why does she always do just the opposite of what she is supposed to?
    (A) Read what has just been indicated and this is answered, see?
43. (Q) How should she be handled properly in order to become a well adjusted individual?
    (A) As has been indicated.
44. (Q) What should be her profession?
    (A) If these inclinations are guided correctly, - the activities would be in aiding others in their choice of professions, or the directing of their lives into those paths for greater understanding of their relationships to individuals and to groups, as well as to Creative Forces. This would be the NATURAL impulse or direction taken, no matter whether it married early or late in life!
45. (Q) What instrument, if any, should she play?
    (A) Piano.
46. (Q) Should she follow dramatics? Sing? Dance?
    (A) Dance, or all of out of doors, but not dramatics. Do not let THIS become dramatic in the experience of the entity.
47. We are through for the present.
