We cannot give you all this in one afternoon, for I wander like a minstrel through your own past.

This is highly simplified of course, there were other reasons, but in singing you were not harsh, and in singing you communicated in a way that you could not in the earlier life, and in the singing also you gave of yourself in a way you did not earlier.

You lost this finger and this finger in a brawl, cut by a knife. The brawl being over a woman. (Pause.)

Therefore you took on a helper, who played for you while you sang.

The helper now is a woman. This is not clear, we will see what we can do, and if we do not get it clearly we shall at a later time. The woman’s name now has a strong R sound. Such as is the word star... R...

There may now be a blood relationship, though it is distant rather than immediate. At that time this woman was also a male, and also known to you in the lifetime immediately previous, and as a man.
