8. (Q) The sixth problem concerns interplanetary and inter-system dwelling, between earthly lives. It was given through this source that the entity Edgar Cayce, after the experience as Uhjltd, went to the system of Arcturus, and then returned to earth. Does this indicate a usual or an unusual step in soul evolution?
问：第六个问题是关于两个转世之间的星际游历和不同系统之间的停留。此信息渠道曾经讲过凯西这个个体在Uhjltd那一世后去了牧夫座的大角星系统(system of Arcturus) ，然后又反回地球。这是灵魂发展的一个正常步骤吗？
(A) As indicated, or as has been indicated in other sources besides this as respecting this very problem, - Arcturus is that which may be called the center of this universe, through which individuals pass and at which period there comes the choice of the individual as to whether it is to return to complete there - that is, in this planetary system, our sun, the earth sun and its planetary system - or to pass on to others. This was an unusual step, and yet a usual one.
答：我们讲过---其它一些渠道也提及过这个问题，大角星可以被称作这个宇宙的中心。个体通过那里，在那个期间决定是否回到原来的系统以完成(全部课程)--- 决定是否回到这个有太阳和地球的行星系统，还是进入其它系统。这是一个不平常的步骤，但也不十分异常。
9. (Q) The seventh problem concerns implications from the sixth problem. Is it necessary to finish the solar system cycle before going to other systems?
(A) Necessary to finish the solar cycle.
问：第七个问题与第六个有关联。必需完成太阳系统后再进入其它系统吗？
答：有必要完成太阳系统循环。
10. (Q) Can oneness be attained - or the finish of evolution reached - on any system, or must it be in a particular one?
(A) Depending upon what system the entity has entered, to be sure. It may be completed in any of the many systems.
问：可以在任何一个系统中达到与道合一---或者完成灵魂发展，还是必须在某一个特别的系统中？
答：这要看个体进入那个系统。可以在许多系统中的任何一个中完成。
11. (Q) Must the solar cycle be finished on earth, or can it be completed on another planet, or does each planet have a cycle of its own which must be finished?
(A) If it is begun on the earth it must be finished on the earth. The solar system of which the earth is a part is only a portion of the whole. For, as indicated in the number of planets about the earth, they are of one and the same - and they are relative one to another. It is the cycle of the whole system that is finished, see?
问：必须在地球上完成太阳系统的循环，还是可以在其它行星上；每个行星有自己的循环必须要完成吗？
答：如果是在地球上开始，就需在地球上完成。地球的太阳系仅是整体的一部分。其它提及过的如地球的行星很多，他们是同一的、同样的---彼此相关。要完成整个系统的循环，明白吗？
12. (Q) The eighth problem concerns the pattern made by parents at conception. Should it be said that this pattern attracts a certain soul because it approximates conditions which that soul wishes to work with?
(A) It approximates conditions. It does not set. For, the individual entity or soul, given the opportunity, has its own free will to work in or out of those problems as presented by that very union. Yet the very union, of course, attracts or brings a channel or an opportunity for the expression of an individual entity.
问：第八个问题涉及到父母授孕时形成的格局。可以将这个格局描述成吸引有近似问题的那个灵魂，希望得到解决吗？
答：形成近似的情况，但并没有完全确定。因为个体或灵魂在给出的机遇面前有自己的自由意志去决定是否踏入由於(父母的) 结合而呈现在面前的问题。当然这种结合吸引或为个体的表现带来了机遇。
13. (Q) Does the incoming soul take on of necessity some of the parents' karma?
(A) Because of its relative relationship to same, yes. Otherwise, no.
问：进入的灵魂是否承袭部分父母的报应？
答：基於他们的相对关系，是的。否则的话，没有。
14. (Q) Does the soul itself have an earthly pattern which fits back into the one created by the parents?
(A) Just as indicated, it is relative - as one related to another; and because of the union of activities they are brought in the pattern. For in such there is the explanation of universal or divine laws, which are ever one and the same; as indicated in the expression that God moved within Himself and then He didn't change, though did bring to Himself that of His own being made crucified even in the flesh.
问：是否灵魂个体自身有自己的地球影响复合父母所建立的格局？
答：正如讲过的，这是相对的---一个与另一个相关，也与父母的结合所带来的格局有关。而正在此中，有了宇宙圣灵法则的解释，他们同一。正如这种表述给出的：上帝在自身中动了，他没有改变，但确实为自己带来肉体的十字架刑。
15. (Q) Are there several patterns which a soul might take on, depending on what phase of development it wished to work upon - i.e., could a soul choose to be one of several personalities, any of which would fit its individuality?
(A) Correct.
问：是否有几个格局给灵魂个体，这样依据灵魂自己的意愿和发展阶段来选择？就是说一个灵魂是否可以选择个性(Personalities)，以复合其本性(Individuality)。
16. (Q) Is the average fulfillment of the soul's expectation more or less than fifty percent?
(A) It's a continuous advancement, so it is more than fifty percent.
问：灵魂完成任务的百分比超过还是低于50%？
答：这是连续的发展，所有应超过50%。
17. (Q) Are hereditary, environment and will equal factors in aiding or retarding the entity's development?
(A) Will is the greater factor, for it may overcome any or all of the others; provided that will is made one with the pattern, see? For, no influence of heredity, environment or what not, surpasses the will; else why would there have been that pattern shown in which the individual soul, no matter how far astray it may have gone, may enter with Him into the holy of holies?
问：世袭的、环境的和意志因素对个体的发展或迟滞有相同的作用吗？
答：意志的作用更大，它可以超越所有其它因素，意志与格局同一。没有任何世袭的、环境的因素超过意志；不然的话为什么在个体灵魂中有这样的格局：无论个体漂流多远都可以与祂一起进入圣地。
