GC: You will give the relations 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, that to which it may attain,
and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known
as or called [
3205].
In giving an interpretation of the records, these we find in
many ways are most interesting. But we would choose from
same that which as we find may be the more helpful in the
entity's fulfilling the purpose for which it entered this
material sojourn.
In giving the virtues and vices, we would minimize the faults
we would magnify the virtues. So should the entity, in
contemplation of its activities and the preparations for
such, minimize the faults, minimize the processes necessary
of self-effacement - for the entity to make the better
approach to the various phases of an experience to justify
self in its activities, that would bring the greater
experience for the entity in this material sojourn.
These as we find, the entity coming under those urges that
are latent and manifested in the experience of this entity:
One that finds a sense of humor in most every situation, and
this is something that should be encouraged ever in the
experience of the entity. Thus may the entity fully
subscribe to the outline of those that may seek counsel
respecting the activities through these particular years of
preparation for the entity.
Astrologically, we find Venus, Mercury, Uranus and Saturn as
the influences in the dimensional experiences of the entity.
Thus, one rather well given to "good works" or of being
prompt, or being attentive, or being trustworthy in little
orders or little assignments that may be given the entity.
One that finds a great deal of humor in most of the things of
its experience with others, and yet a warning with this is
indicated. Do not allow such to become of such a nature as
to make a mockery of things sacred or to use conditions in
the experience of others to their detriment or to their
shortcomings, or even to their faults or failures. But know
as ye measure it to others it is measured back to thee again.
In Uranus we find the interest of the entity in things odd,
things mysterious, things having to do with the hidden or
unseen mysteries. These we would cultivate. Cultivate
rather those things of the unusual nature that may be used as
a practical experience and not merely for the form of
phenomenon itself.
We find in Saturn many changes in the experience. The entity
will ever find itself very opposed to being poor, and would
go to almost any length to obtain the material things of
life. Let not these, thy good works, be evil spoken of
because of material things being considered to such a degree
as to disregard others' privileges or obligations. Rather
use such an experience or expression in the associations with
others as stepping stones to better understanding in the
activities with others.
Uranus also brings the extremes.
With Mercury and Venus we find the abilities in given
directions. For the entity may be a writer of fiction or of
short stories that have a religious or political basis, or
from direct direction to those where the gift of intuition
may become a helpful force in the experience of the entity as
well as in the lives and sojourns of others.
As to the appearances in the earth, - these have been
sufficient to give a very well balanced individual. While
quite varied in activities the periods in the earth's
unfoldment, these have been contributing periods to the
welfare of many groups and of the own associations through
trying experiences, and these will be a part of entity's
experience in the present sojourn.
In these directions we would find the entity making an
outlet, then, that may bring material as well as social
position or power.
Before this (among those that will be indicated here) the
entity was in and about the activities of the city of the
present nativity, when there was the rebuilding or
reestablishing of activities after the destructive forces in
the forts that preceded the present environs. [Born in
Chicago, Illinois]
The entity was a storekeeper in the activities there in the
name Jack Napes.
This made for the congeniality, the urges as found in the
present to be not just commonplace but as a friend to those
that need a friend in the right place or position.
Do not allow these to become stumbling stones, but use
privileges and opportunities in such for the advancement of
the ideals of the entity regarding spiritual imports in the
entity's experience.
The activities of the entity then cared for many peoples of
many varied environs in those rebuilding periods.
Before that the entity was in the Roman land during the
expansion period of that empire.
The entity was an emissary that represented the Roman land in
northwestern Asia, or in portions of Albania. These brought
those activities that made for a helpful experience to the
peoples in that particular sphere of activity, bringing to
the land as well as those whom the entity represented a
better coalition.
And this makes the entity in the present as one that may be
at ease in any character of group in which the entity may
find itself thrown or active.
The name then was Enoch Arden, known among the common people
as well as those in high places; being at odds at times.
Thus we will find in the present the entity as a good
reporter, or a gatherer of data for any research activity
whether, respecting, drug or sundries or things that may be
of a more universal usage in particular activities as related
to utilities in the experiences of individuals.
This brings into the consciousness a broader scope of
activity yet detail - as has been indicated by the ability of
the entity to know what character of data would represent
various fields of service.
The entity then brought to the peoples an opening for greater
possibilities in many another land.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when
individuals were prepared as emissaries and as overseers for
the various groups in particular areas.
The entity, it might be said, was one who gathered data for
the various groups of representatives in the expansion of
those peoples during that particular period of the entity's
sojourn.
Hence the abilities of the self to know what is news, and as
to how the various aspects of human relationships might be
woven together for a helpful influence in the thoughts, the
minds and the experiences of others; in what might be called
"human interest" stories. The humor that might be added in
same would be helpful for indicating definite lessons to be
gained by such an activity.
As to the abilities of the entity:
Study self and self's relationship to Creative Forces. Do
first things first, though ye intend oft to do such and
become negligent. Put this far from thee in thy experiences
with others. For, those that are not consistent with self
will not be with others.
Keep the faith in self, yet do not let it rise to the
egotistical. Keep the ability to see the humor in most any
situation, but do not let it become of such a nature as to
make fun of the unfortunate in their karmic experiences being
unfolded in any particular period or activity.
Let thy yeas be yea and thy nays be nay, to be sure, but in
the Lord. Study to show thyself approved unto God. A
workman not ashamed, rightly dividing and divining the words
of truth; keeping self from condemnation.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why did this entity choose this body?
(A) Because of the particular environ in which the
activities may bring a helpful force for others. Use it as
an opportunity. Abuse it not as in self-indulgence or in
self-glorification.
(Q) What have been the relationships in the past to his
present grandmother, [
3006]?
(A) Especially in Egypt, where the entity was trained in
those activities in which it brought other lands in closer
relationship to those activities during that particular
period.
(Q) To his maternal grandfather, [...]?
(A) In Egypt, and as we find also in those experiences in
the Holy Land.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS
GD's note: About 3 years after 3205-1, young [
3205] was
stricken with polio and remained a cripple.
6/23/54 Verbal report by Mr. [
3188]: "[
3205]'s Life Reading
seems to be very accurate. He does have a wonderful sense of
humor; he has great scorn for his father (parents separated).
He has a Republican background but is himself an ardent
Democrat. He isn't poor - doesn't know about that statement.
He has a gift for writing, majoring in political economy -
may go into politics. As the reading says, he is 'easy in
all groups'."
