TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [3128], born February 28, 1895, in Butzow in Mecklenburg, Germany, and the earthly existence of this entity as Kert Kirschar in the land of the present sojourn. You will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance, and how, into the earth's plane and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions she submits, as I ask them, concerning that sojourn and the influences in the present coming from it:
2. EC: Yes, we have the records of the entity in the earth's plane during that experience as Kert Kirschar.
3. In giving a biographical life of the entity, as indicated, the entity was born in the land of the present nativity or Germany. In the experiences the entity grew to be an adventurous individual (of course as a man then, and that's why you have no children now) seeking activity in those periods when there was war between the north and the south, in the land of the present sojourn.
4. The entity did not intend to become a participant in the activities, yet was forced to - through the activity of groups of individuals, owing to that as pertained to entrance of the entity into the land.
5. The entity, being among those that were more highly educated than most of those who sought entrance during those same periods, was given preference in the short periods of preparation for the activity in that period. The entity followed the activity in that period when there were the turning points in that particular war, at Gettysburg.
6. Hence that area, that about Washington, those places in Pennsylvania, those periods of activity in the east become of interest; as does the basis of the principles which were to be the determining factors in the preservation of the Union.
7. The activity of the entity, following the periods of reconstruction, was in secretly assigning the home countrymen to formulate the various groups that settled in portions of the land for a unifying of effort in meeting the various problems for those particular groups of people. These were portions of those groups that settled in Philadelphia and in certain industrial activities in Pennsylvania, and in parts of Delaware and Jersey.
8. The entity's activities were to grow gradually and to become a nominal leader in establishing better relations for its own people. Yet those problems that arose in the activity of the new land, politically, entered little. Rather were there those groups that took advantage of the various problems arising out of political factions.
9. The entity in its first visit to the home land was in charge of making better arrangements for the preparation and supply of materials manufactured, not only certain types of mesh goods, but chemical.
10. The entity's demise occurred in that period when the entity was only sixty years of age.
11. As to the present use of abilities from that sojourn, we find that the entity is especially interested in children and preparation, and educational activities for such. It is in this channel that there are to be outlines for activities; as in reading and in pictures and in every form of educational conditions for the young, as well as for children in that period of transition from childhood to the knowledge of self and body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Please elaborate upon the statement that in the latter portion of that sojourn I joined with the ideals of a free, a purposeful, a directed, a guided experience.
    (A) As has just been indicated, the entity was among those who took advantage of or used those opportunities offered in a free country, the ability of any individual to, in any manner, direct his own life. Yet there were united efforts of the entity for those of various groups, or for those of its particular people.
14. (Q) What were the secret activities in which I then acted?
    (A) Read just what we have given you.
15. (Q) Is there anything specific in my present line of thought that is harmful to my development?
    (A) Who is to pass judgement, save that of - what is thy ideal? That should be the judgment. With what yardstick do ye measure to thy fellowman? That which is creative and of God? or that which if of thine own making? Unless it is creative, it is in error, but the error must be discovered in self.
16. (Q) What have been the associations in the past with my husband? and what are the urges in the present for our mutual development?
    (A) In those experiences before this. Pretty good friends, not only in the activity during the periods of disturbance but builded together in preparation for greater activity in the commercial field. Thus, the abilities of the entity as a business person, to control as well as to teach and to lead.
17. (Q) How may I go about getting into work with children?
    (A) Commence and write it and then teach it to others. Apply it in the lives of the young.
18. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 7/31/44 [3128]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I received my reading some weeks ago and find them so very helpful to me. Each time I reread them, I seem to understand them and myself a little better. Your work is truly a service to all of us who are fortunate enough to have a reading.
   Am enclosing $1.00 for my copy of the June Congress Booklet. Perhaps next year I may be able to attend in person.
2. 1/45 [3128]'s letter to GD:
   My dear Miss Davis
   It was a profound shock to hear of the passing of Mr. Edgar Cayce. Although I had not met him in person, yet his letters and his readings have been a great influence in my life. I shall always regard him as having been a friend. The world seems so much poorer now that he has left us.
   The work of the Association seems to have just begun in sharing the wealth contained in the readings and which are so sorely needed in this war-torn world.
   We are indeed, indebted to you and to the rest of the office staff, for having accomplished so very much during the last year or two. You must feel very proud of having been of so great a service to Mr. Cayce and to us all.
   My best wishes for whatever work you are planning in the future and thank you again for all the benefits that I have received from the organization.
   Sincerely [3128]
   P.S. I am enclosing $1.00 for 2 copies of the booklet on Auras now being printed.
