TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you [2665], born July 21, 1899, Beatrice, Nebraska. You will give the relations of this entity and the Universe, and the Universal forces, especially the former appearances on this plane, giving the name, the time and the place, and that 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: (While going back over the dates) "... July 21, 1906 - [Julius?] Caesar was born into the world again on this date."
3. GC: At what place?
4. Bellefontaine, Ohio. (Name not asked, for fear of breaking into other reading. He continued counting back to [2665]'s birth date.) [See 2665-2, Par. R7.]
5. Yes, we have the entity here, and these relations with the Universal Forces, as are exhibited, especially in the appearances in the earth's plane, for these, as we see, have much to do with the urges and inclinations as are exhibited and manifested, and many that are felt and failed to find their manifestations in the life of the individual, for they become as expressions of a personality rather than individual acts.
6. Then:
7. In the one before this we find in the days of Louis the 15th, when the King was in that place of being ready to give over the works of the State to the ones that were to succeed in power. The entity then among those of the Court, and a sister then to the favorite of the King, in the name of Chloe, and the entity then developed in many respects in the earth's plane, yet the selfish forces as were manifest by the raise in position brought much distress in the latter portion of the life. The urge, as we see then, in this, is to give just dues to each and every individual, no matter of what state they may occupy, yet the inherent desire for the approval of self to those in position.
8. In the one before this we find in the Grecian forces, when the peoples gave much time to the development of the body, in the times of the games that all took part in. The entity then in the name of Parscha, and was among those who were successful in their endeavors to act as the entertainers to the nobility of that time. The entity there we find gained and retarded, both, yet the urge as is the highest in the present sphere, to become one who may give many lessons to others through the ability to act out those lessons that will give others an understanding of conditions, and, as we find, the greater force would be manifested in the present day (were the health of the body brought to that state wherein the physical would allow same) on the screen, for this will appeal, especially, to the talents of the individual and to the natural abilities, for we find figure, form and intent of the inmost portions of the physical of the present entity, follow close in the Grecian forces.
9. In the one before this we find in the days when the change was being made from the Atlantean countries to the northern portion of now Spanish forces. The entity then in the name of Puyren, and the entity then one of the greater entertainers of the time, though not reaching any great height on account of the change in the ruler of the forces pertaining to entertainment of the peoples, during the change. In the development, the entity gained much, especially in the way of being amenable to conditions and able to work under any circumstance. The same is seen much in the individual urge at present, to make the best of circumstances, or rather make and force self to be content, yet not satisfied with less than the best in self and requiring same in others.
10. In the one before this we find in the land of now the Utah and Nevada forces, when the first peoples were separated into groups as families. The entity then in the name of Ulda, and gave then much to the people in the manner of the way to prepare the dwellings for the mates, as the entity one among the few who were successful in holding same to that view; that is, her own mate, see? In this we find the entity developed much and gave much to the peoples who were to succeed in this land, and in the ruins as are found that have arisen, in the mounds and caves in the northwestern portion of New Mexico, may be seen some of the drawings the entity then made. Some ten million years ago. [See 2665-2, Par. R6, R8.]
11. As to the abilities, as given, the greater success, with the physical forces developed for the strain and strenuous forces of same, would be found in that of screen work, though the success in a manner may be made through the stage; yet the work of the entity and the abilities of the entity lie in that ability to teach and preach the lessons necessary to the coming generations, through the art of giving the lesson in act and in vision.
12. Then, let the entity keep those principles as pertain to the awakening of the divine within self, relying upon those abilities to make the paths straight, ever knowing that the highest service to the creator lies in the ability to be of assistance to His creatures.

[GD's note: I am inclined to think that the birth referred to by the reading was not recorded. However, we are trying to locate the woman who was born on that date and recorded, by communicating with a family in another part of Ohio by the same last name.]
