LS: You will have before you the body of [
2723], who was
born November 1, 1898, in Forrest City, Maine, and you
will give the relation of this entity and the universe,
and the universal forces, giving the conditions that are as
personalities latent, and exhibited, in the present life.
Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving
time, place, name, and that in that life which built or
retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities
of the present entity and to that which it may attain, and
how.
EC: Yes, we have the body here and those relations with the
entity in the present sphere of the universal forces, and the
universe, with its relations to the entity in its development
through earth's plane.
This entity in the present plane we find took its position
from that of Mercury, with the influences of Jupiter and of
Uranus, with some adverse conditions with Mars. Hence in the
present sphere we find these conditions in the urge of the
individuality of the entity:
One that has the ability to study in the realm of the mental.
One slow to wrath, yet awful when he does get mad. In the
development in this, however, we find the entity has often
(more often than otherwise) used discretion even in the
wrath. This in the present plane the greater development
in the body, as will be seen.
One that we find is in that development where the greater
influences in the present plane are from the mental forces.
That is, the urge is to use the abilities of the mental
rather than the physical. Not that the entity is lacking in
this sphere, yet the development shows the urge to be in this
sphere.
One that with the adverse influences finds that those
conditions as regarding other things of secular nature
brings the troubles, worries, to the body.
One, then, that has abilities, yet lacking in the smaller
affairs, especially pertaining to detail work regarding
material affairs.
One that in the present plane finds the development in
that sphere where the good to others gives the greater
development.
One that within the present sphere will have great amount
of monies to care for. In the adverse forces that will come
then in 1929, care should be taken lest this, without the
more discretion in small things, be taken from the entity.
In the development in present plane for the good, we find the
entity in the correct urge, yet should be where the mental
will be applied more than the physical. Rather in that
capacity of the lecturer or demonstrator than operator.
In this we find the mental in that sphere of development.
As to the appearances in the earth plane:
We find the one before this in the beginning of the
settlements in the country just south of last place of birth,
and then in that region where the Penn's settled in the
country. The entity then the physician to the first people
in the Quaker settlements, then in the name Robert Baron. In
the present sphere we find the personality of this is shown.
The entity, though capable, often is silent when he could
speak but for fear of opinions remains silent.
In the one before this we find in the French rule in the
early changes in that country, when first became the France,
after the destruction of the settlements of the Gauls, and
in that sphere we find the entity then in the work of the
peasant in that sphere. Then we find the name in that of
Shule. In this personality we find in the present that of
the love of the open and the beauties as are seen in nature.
In the one before this we find in the forces under that of
the first settlers in the south country now known as Persia.
Then in the nomad country and the entity then the leader
of one of those groups. Then known as Hudd, and in the
present sphere we find this urge: The desire for others
to acknowledge the superiority of the entity in those
connections where rule is necessary, WHEN CORRECT.
In the one before this we find in the first settlers in now
the end of the Indian rule, then in that of the keeper of the
records. In this we find the entity then in Jute, and in the
present sphere we find the entity partakes of that desire to
be the help to all.
In the manner then that this may be of help, let the entity
know that in each of these appearances, save in the French,
has been a development in the earth's sphere, and the greater
development coming in the present, for the entity finds how
to control self through will, with the understanding of self,
and in keeping this we will find the entity will develop to
that plane wherein the knowledge as given to others in his
life's work will be beneficial for many, many, years to come.
We are through.

while this is a fine thing, provided the ways are directed
toward progress and advancement, in the present crisis I fear
it is going to be harmful to him if he is swayed by his set
ways and not use reason. In any event I wrote out questions
to ask concerning karma - and left plenty of leeway for those
on higher planes to not only instruct [
2723] as to what would
be best for him to do, but also to give a dissertation on
karma and the effects of breaking vows, etc..." [GD's note:
