1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces as are - and WILL be - manifest in the present experience of the entity.
2. In the naming, when all associations, relations, are considered, should be [299]. [EC named the baby.]
3. In entering, we find the entity comes under those influences of Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and in these respects there will be the necessity of the well BALANCED diversion for the entity AS its personality in the present experience develops.
4. This entity in this experience, as we find, will be unusual; not only to the parents, in this experience, but to others. Not strange, not curious, but UNUSUAL in its unfoldment IN its present surroundings; and during those years two and a half to four will be the periods when the greater care must be exerted as respecting its PHYSICAL, MENTAL, developments in the present.
5. In Venus will be seen that of affection on the part of the entity, and with decided likes and dislikes that will apparently of UNSEEMING ways which, unless guided in its proper manner, may make for that of a selfish and haughty air in the DEVELOPING to maidenhood and young womanhood; yet guided in a manner, not as of breaking the will, nor yet of letting the developing mind have its own way, but KNOWING that, that which may be cute or becoming in a developing mind, that grown to seed would be hauteur or selfishness, or that of any development in such a manner well to be curbed in REASON.
6. In Jupiter, as will be seen, beauty of face, figure, and mind. These will naturally, with the incoming influence, make for one that will be inquisitive, and seeking to know
299-1 Page 2
the REASON, which - while not unusual ORDINARILY in a child or a DEVELOPING one - will be unusual to a marked degree in THIS entity as for CAUSES, as well as reason; making, then, those precautions that those who give answers to the seeking and developing mind give those that are an answer IN Truth as NEAR as IS possible to be done, under any and all circumstance! This, as will be seen, will make for a development that will make apparent one ever OLD for its year, and years, yet the BEAUTY in the ABILITIES of the entity will repay all that are associated with same in the beauty of the life, in the development of the mental forces, in the ABILITIES of the entity in many - or all - directions. Hence nature, nature's activities, should be that as will ENABLE the body, physically, mentally, to ask its questions. Developing in a MODERATE manner the athletic body will aid in its better development in the physical and mental body, and unfoldment also.
7. In Uranus will make, as will be seen, those periods in the entity's development when there will be moods, temper will be expressed and manifest in its activities. Well that those visions, also those tendencies for visions of seeming exaggeration by the entity in such periods, be NOT curbed; rather made note OF, studied WITH the entity as its UNFOLDMENT in MENTAL developments shows in its activities. Colors, to be sure, will affect the body often. Hence those of modes and violet would be well to have more OFTEN ABOUT the body, as WELL as those shades of BLUE that will make for a more EVEN development in the entity's activities.
8. Being in the Sabbath child, AS given, there will be those of the QUESTIONING often as to the variations in tenets held by those about the entity. Hence in that environ as will be seen, in which the developments for and OF the entity most often came, will bring that BEAUTY IN the experiences of the entity for self and others, that will be most satisfactory. That, then, that has much of rote or ceremony, yet that that is an ENFOLDMENT and UNFOLDMENT of the love and bigness OF the SPIRITUAL life, the better environ for this developing entity.
9. In the appearances and their influence upon the present experience - the entity that that may be termed by the STUDENTS of psychological influences, or of psychopathic enfoldments, an OLD soul. Hence that tenderness WOULD those responsible for, those whose care the soul is with, SHOULD make in their activities WITH the budding of the soul's awakening in this, a material and CHANGED world.
10. In the one then before this we find in that period when there were those dissensions, and those suppressions of the
299-1 Page 3
teachings in that land known as the Roman land. The entity then among the children of those that were persecuted WITH their sires during that period, yet finding favor with those that saw the oppressions the entity, while growing under an environ that meant the suppression of activity, gained AND lost during that experience. First known as Dafna, then changed in its environ and name to that of Sapina. In the present experience will be found, from that influence, that of the tendency of hauteur and moods, and that necessary influence then that must bring those of a very POSITIVE - yet loving - directings of the entity's thoughts, as WELL as activities.
11. In the one before this we find in that land, that experience known as the Persian or Arabian Land, when there had been those developments in that land from those leading in a rebellion to the northern kingdom, and those had gathered about the leader. The entity then an associate of, a sister TO, its OWN [present] MOTHER - in the NAME Melene. In this experience the entity developed throughout. The entity became one of a MUSICIAN of FAME, even in this plain. In the development the entity applied those tenets that were given in that period to MUSIC, that it brought from the plains to those surroundings, that of the joy in service of one to another; becoming a healer in the latter experience through the laying on of hands, in song and in the chants as were made by the entity and its associates. In the present, with those directing influences, may the entity - in those of stringed instruments - bring AGAIN those of the shepherd song, again those of the mountain song, in rain, in sunshine, in the various activities in nature. Hence those directing influences will bring that awakening that will bring joy, harmony, peace, loving understanding, to self and many.
12. In the one then before this we find in that land now known as the Egyptian land, and following those periods when there were the rebuilding and the activities of those that gave the understanding to many of the tenets in that period. The entity then was among those that came in the household of the priest [Ra-Ta?] during that period, being then in the latter days an EMISSARY to the various peoples that that land took, or undertook, to disperse those teachings to. The entity again a musician in reeds, and a worker in fine linens; yet a one of note in SONG during that period. In the name Del-lli. In the present there will be seen that art that pertains to linens, cloths, or those of bas-reliefs, will be of interest to the entity; and - guided aright - may the song of the inner self be awakened, as was in that
299-1 Page 4
experience.
13. As to the abilities, and that to which it may attain, and how:
14. As is seen in the unfoldment of a life, a soul, in each experience - that to which it may ATTAIN depends upon that which is builded in its formative years as its personality. It either conforms to the ideals of its individuality, or is changed to become something apart - bringing adversities and contention when made separate. When made one with that which is as continuity of Life and Force as manifests itself in the earth through the influences of the DIVINE, as through the Son, do the blessings come; as was said, "SUFFER little children to come unto me, for of such is the KINGDOM of heaven," that "He that offends one of these, my LITTLE ones, has offended me indeed." Keep, then, inviolate, its experiences. Thrust not thine own dominion, yet teach, train the little one to know, in HIM is peace and understanding, in Him is the way for all earth - as in heaven - to know the JOY of BEING alive! Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Describe faults in present life and give guiding advice to parents for correction. (A) As has been given. These may be developed from influences. These depend upon the activities of those in the directions as has been outlined.
16. (Q) Describe talents, and if there is one for music, name instrument. (A) As has been given, STRINGED instruments.
17. (Q) In what church should entity be baptized and taught? (A) As HAS been outlined. In the church of the fathers, the better.
18. (Q) For what field of service in this incarnation should entity be prepared? (A) As has been outlined, there are varied fields - as may be seen by the consideration of the abilities, and that to which the entity has attained. Either in that of the field as of the TRAINER for others, or in that of the AID to others, in ITS ability to bring HEALING to others.
19. (Q) What years will make periods of greatest development of entity in this incarnation? (A) Two and a half to four and a half years. Then again there will occur in the thirteenth to the fourteenth year.
20. (Q) What years should parents be warned as containing hazards to be guarded against? (A) Two and a half to four years.
21. (Q) Has this entity been associated with [282] or [301], its present parents, in other incarnations?
299-1 Page 5
(A) As has been given, it has. [9/8/31 Father's Ck. Life Rdg. 282-3, Par. 7-A indicates he was the husband of his present wife [301] and father of his present daughter [299] in the Egyptian incarnation.]
22. That is all the questions.
23. As developments come, as changes arise, as the UNUSUAL activities are seen, much may be added to THIS entity's development. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " File " " Ass'n
