(Q) What are the characteristics exhibited in the present entity from that appearance? (A) The study of those forces, and in the questioning of self and individual self as to those characters as brought the destructive forces to self through that period, or place, or sphere. This is opposite to those at present, as we have outlined.
Follow those. Keep close to the right and narrow way, giving understanding that development from each and every entity must be upon its own forces, with Love and Charity to all, and giving the best of self to build that which is the real in every plane, the spirit force, or the companion to the soul of every entity.
