1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the Universal Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may attain, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and that as the personalities as may be exhibited in the present earth's plane, and the appearances in the earth's plane, from which the personality and individuality in the present plane may be gained, with those urges as are received from same, and as to how these (the urges) will manifest in the present earth's plane, for, as we see, this entity in the present earth's plane has yet to exhibit those personalities as are latent in this physical developing body, yet one that takes those positions in the present earth's plane from Jupiter, with Venus and Mercury, and with the adverse influence in Mars and in Saturn, with the assistance of the influences of Uranus and Neptune in the present earth's plane.
3. Then, the urges as will be seen:
4. One that will have the strong constitution in the developing stage.
5. One that will need care and attention through the early development in the care of the digestive system.
6. One that love will ever rule in the earth's plane in the present life, will [if] that of the ennobling influence [will] go with same.
7. One that will have the desires to seek those of the Why's of every condition pertaining to that as applied to numbers, and will be led into the right way through the mathematical application of good conditions in the life; that is, in the training of the young manhood, and baby and childhood, ever put those conditions before the child of the mathematical

problems of the forces of love and of that which causes good in the life to be lived in the earth's plane.
8. One that will, in early manhood, make that of the choice in mating. One that should seek in such that one born in May, see? for with the influences that come in each, these would be of the better nature.
9. One that will seek in the early life the forces as are manifest in occult and in the mystic, and applying same in that of the religious force and service.
10. Then, the abilities to which the entity shows that urge lie in that of the mathematics, and in the ability to make monies. Then guide same in its developing stage in that way in which the ennobling influence will be the greater urge in the home life.
11. One that will not be susceptible easily to any of those contagious diseases of childhood - needing the care of the digestion being watched close, that same, physically, may well MANIFEST that spiritual DEVELOPMENT, as is seen that is capable of being manifest in this entity.
12. As to the appearances:
13. In the one before this we find the entity entered the earth's plane only for a very short period, and is well named in the present, for then, before, the name Thomas Cayce, see? [Edgar Cayce's little brother, Thomas Cayce, was born 11/19/1892, in Christian County, Kentucky, and died 10 days later.]
14. In the one before this we find in that day when the peoples were attempting to throw off the yoke of the oppression under that in Charles the 1st. The entity then in the aide to the ruler, or that man in power, and the name of Buell. The entity developed in that period, gaining from those influences of that leader the entity then followed. From that appearance, the urge towards those things that pertain to religion will be found in the present earth's plane.
15. In the one before this we find in the land of the Roman rule; when the persecution of the peoples that followed the Nazarene, the entity then in that of one of those persecuted, coming to this place from the Port in the Sea - a follower then of that One preaching this new doctrine [Paul?]. Then in the name of Isal. The entity gained in the latter of the sojourn in the earth's plane, and as will be seen in the present, the ability to understand persecution, or the inability to take PHYSICAL punishment for conditions that to the entity should not be punished for; yet capable of standing PHYSICAL and MENTAL pain when in a just cause.

16. In the one before this, we find in the days when the nomads overran the Persian rule. The entity then the next in the command when the nomad leader was slain, and the entity then in the name of Ojhida, and the entity then lost in that the entity became selfish in the aggrandizement of personal interests, yet in the persecutions that followed in the latter days, the entity repented much, and the urge in the present will be found the ability to forget and forgive. [Period of Uhjltd?]
17. In the one before this we find in that Egyptian country when the great division came in that land, and the entity in that of those who assisted those who were banished, and in the name of Ashal. [Period of Ra-Ta?]
18. Then, as to that which the entity may accomplish, and how: First that necessity of that training "in the way youth should go, for when it is old it will not depart from same." The urge being, then, to accept and to take that in the way that same is presented. The position should be in that of the minister or teacher, and the entity would give much to many. Keeping, then, ever in that way, making self first wholly acceptable unto Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, for in Him there is life, and life shineth out even unto those who sit in darkness.
19. We are through for the present.
