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 may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [2015].
3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, these are chosen with the desire to be a helpful experience for the entity, as well as a helpful influence in the experience of those who will have the guiding of the formative years of the entity in this present earth plane.
4. For, without the proper directions - from the experience in the sojourns (and these being many) - the emotions may influence the entity to such an extent as to become a woe in this present sojourn.
5. These, then, are chosen with that purpose of making those who have the care of the entity AWARE of those inclinations, those emotions which will become manifested, especially in the formative years.
6. In the composite of the latent or astrological urges, and the material sojourns, we find these as influences that will be manifest:
7. One that has a temper of its own. While not stubborn (for it can be easily reasoned with), it must have a POSITIVE answer for every questions and not "Don't - because I say so!"
8. One that will be beautiful in body, in figure, in the material sense. Do not allow this to become a vain experience for the entity, but keep the mind and body busy in the developing years in constructive ways, and thinking.
9. And let the life of each about the entity be particularly consistent with the advice that is given.
10. From the astrological aspects, - we will find that BLUE in the clothing, and especially in stones of every nature, should be part of the apparel for the entity; for it will bring not only the vibrations of healing for the entity but a pleasant and a beautiful reaction to the mental efficiencies of the body.
11. As to astrological sojourns, - we find Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Saturn and Mars as the ruling factors.
12. Hence the body-beautiful will ever be as an influence; either for weal or woe, as has been indicated, dependent upon that direction given in its formative years.
13. From the Mercurian influence we will find that the entity will be quick at all forms of mental grasping in the spiritual or mental or ANY form of mental exercise, whether it be in economics or in mathematics or any other form.
14. Hence those injunctions as to CONSISTENCY in speech and activity of those about the entity in its formative periods.
15. In the Uranian influence we will find the extremes, - as to moods that may arise, rather than its activity in the varied fields or spheres of meanings to the entity.
16. And, as indicated, there needs to be cultivated the spiritual aptitudes; not by rote or writ, but by reasoning as to the influences wrought within the experience of the entity.
17. In Saturn we find changes, that may be very much according to the aptitudes from the Uranian forces. For, much of MATERIAL benefits will be a part of the entity's experience. Let this not spoil the entity in its formative years, in disregarding values of every nature in its experience.
18. Most everyone who meets or is acquainted with the entity, because of these very influences, will wield an influence; and will WANT to give - give - give - give to the entity.
19. Thus, none need ever fear as to the material benefits for the entity; but there will need to be the directing as to the evaluations of such in its experience, in its formative years.
20. There will be great attractions for the entity to the opposite sex. Hence there would be the warning that there be not an early marriage for the entity, for this would bring the Saturn as well as the Uranian influences in those activities through the Venus forces, - which will occur in the experience through its seventeenth to eighteenth year of experience in this sojourn.
21. As to the appearances in the earth plane, - these, as indicated, have been oft in the material plane. Thus there are many of the emotions that are to be met, or considered.
22. The activities in the material plane as a nurse, or its equivalent, will be the latent urges. For:
23. Before this we find the entity was Frances Willard, who was active in creating those influences for temperance, as well as for the underprivileged. [See 631-2, Par. 2, on 8/29/34, a Ck. Physical Rdg. indicating that Mrs. [631] had previously been a Frances Willard (perhaps a relative of [2015]). Mrs. [631] was born this time in 1897, the year before THE Frances E. Willard died.]
24. Hence we will find that these will be a part of the present experience. Even is its early years there will be the desire to take sides with all of the little colored children, as well as all the little poor children about the entity; not caring for others.
25. Unless there is the proper evaluation of associations, these may bring woe into the experience. However, if trained through such experience, it will bring greater abilities and activities in the influence of the entity THROUGHOUT the middle and latter portion of its sojourn.
26. Before that we find the entity was in the French land; being a child, or a young lady thirteen to fourteen years of age in the experience, when the entity's present father and its present mother (an attendant to the present father) were, with the King and the Queen, turned back.
27. The entity then was in the household of the tavern where that turning back took place, - in the name then Arabela.
28. In the experience the entity suffered through its feelings for those who were to the entity so royal, so above others; and, because of their gentleness, their kindness, their feelings, the entity has sought expression in such environs in the present.
29. DO NOT let this become, then, that upon which the entity will be left without that same reverence as was experienced in that sojourn.
30. In the latter part of the experience there the entity suffered as a martyr for a cause; and will be as determined in portions of its experiences, in the early portion of its sojourn here.
31. Before that we find the entity was in the land of promise, during those periods when the Master walked in the earth; and in that land not as a Jewess but rather of the mixed peoples.
32. Thus the entity was not understood by many when there were the blessings to the entity by the Master in the household of the ruler, when the great service was indicated through the entertaining of the Master by those who were rulers in those portions of the city, - not in Jerusalem but nearby.
33. The entity was not that one who was considered as an outcast, but with those same groups, - though not of those peoples.
34. Hence we find the entity's appealing to those who need to be reasoned with, and in kindness and gentleness as it will manifest or express in its associations, - in its wanting to give away, as well as to be given to, everything in and with which it is associated.
35. Do not hinder this, but do not let it become an extravagance in the experience in the early years; for then in the formative periods for greater development will come great blessings from the experience.
36. And let that ever be a part of the training, the teachings of the entity, - that in Him is the life and the light, and that His whole command is SINCERITY and love.
37. The name then was Magan.
38. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Persian and Arabian.
39. The entity was among those who came from the Grecian land in the attempts to subjugate, to overrun those activities of the teacher in "the hills and the plains."
40. There we find the entity, as many, came under the influence of the teachings; becoming then the nurse, or one with that urge which has been manifested in the sojourn of the entity just before the present, as well as the latent and hidden urges, and the gentleness or tenderness that the entity is capable of manifesting in the present, as well as the beauty in body, and the keenness of mind.
41. The name then was Erlan.
42. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, among the daughters of the priest born in captivity - or in the expulsion from the land. Hence the entity grew up under the activities in the temple as one purified, before the entrance into the activities when the Priest returned. Hence the entity became as one set apart, as one worshiped, - because of being the offspring of the Priest's companion in exile, as well as because of the activities which that entity brought to the peoples of the land in preparing the things beautiful in the Temple Beautiful.
43. Thus, the Temple Beautiful was as a building, as a place to exemplify the life of the entity in that experience, - in the name Os-is-el, or "God manifest in person."
44. In the experience the entity brought much of that which aided womankind, all of her sex, in greater activity; as did the entity in the sojourn just before the present bring to her fellows an aid towards freedom of speech, as well as the privilege of owning, holding possessions in the own name.
45. As to the abilities of the entity, then:
46. Much, as indicated, depends upon the manner in which the early periods of its experience are directed.
47. If guided aright, the abilities will manifest to constructive forces. If left, - it will depend upon circumstance.
48. Make them rather in accordance, then, with grace and mercy, - through love, through kindness, through patience; that there may be the full manifestation again of that which may bring freedom to many.
49. Ready for questions.
50. (Q) What has been the relationship in the past with the present mother [23]?
    (A) One has been indicated. Parallel these.
51. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. Subsequently Physical Readings were given - See 2015-4 through 2015-10.
2. 8/27/63 GD's note: I talked with Mrs. [23] this morning and she says that everything in [2015]'s Life Reading was exactly correct. She did marry young, before she was eighteen, and now has two lovely children.
3. 6/07/68 Mrs. [2015] visited A.R.E. She now has a third little boy - all three children boys! She is now interested in studying the life of Frances Willard and all the periods of her former incarnations, especially the Egyptian one according to the Edgar Cayce readings. In the near future she plans to write up for us many interesting points paralleling her Life Rdg. with her own experiences in this life.
4. Article from the Encyclopaedia Britannica:
   WILLARD,FRANCES ELIZABETH CAROLINE (1839-1898), U.S. educator, reformer and politician, was born at Churchville, Monroe county, N.Y., Sept. 28, 1839. She became a teacher upon graduation from the North-Western Female college at Evanston, Ill., in 1859. In 1871 she accepted the presidency of the newly organized Evanston College for Ladies. When it merged with Northwestern university in 1873, she was appointed dean of women. She resigned this post in 1874 to become corresponding secretary of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union. In 1879 she was elected president and held this office until her death. In 1883 she organized the World's Woman's Christian Temperance union and was its first president. The organizations in which she was active were committed to temperance reform, woman sufferage and improved industrial codes for women. In recognition of her pre-eminence in the cause of womankind, she was chosen president of the National Council of Women in 1888.
   Her work for reform led her into politics. She joined the national Prohibition party and in the 1880s exerted influence in its executive council. She was an excellent speaker, a successful lobbyist and an expert in public opinion and pressure politics. She participated in the Industrial conference, forerunner of the Populist party, held in St. Louis, Mo., in Feb. 1892. She died in New York City on Feb. 18, 1898. (M.E.Dn.;X.)
   With Mary A. Livermore she edited A WOMAN OF THE CENTURY (Buffalo, 1893), which includes a sketch of her life; and she pub. NINETEEN BEAUTIFUL YEARS (1864), a life of her sister; HOW TO WIN: A BOOK FOR GIRLS (1886); GLIMPSES OF FIFTY YEARS (1889); and, in collab. with H. M. Winslow, Mrs. S. J. White and others, OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN (1897). See A. A. Gordon, THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF FRANCES E. WILLARD (Chicago, 1898), with an intro. by Lady Henry Somerset; and W. M. Thayer, WOMEN WHO WIN (1896).
5. GD's note: [2015]'s father wrote that little [2015] was named for both Grandmothers. It is interesting that her first name in this experience is the same as one of her middle names in the previous experience.
6. 9/71 Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc., N.Y. published Jeffrey Furst's book entitled THE RETURN OF FRANCES WILLARD, Her Case for Reincarnation - "extraordinary investigative report... richly documented case for reincarnation and the first in-depth examination of one of Cayce's famous 'Children's Readings.'"
