1. HLC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each 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. You will answer the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1976].

3. Here, from the records, we find a new period of experiences for many souls seeking material manifestations.

4. These interpretations given in the present would be as warnings, and with that understanding or inkling of the character of the individual entity to be dealt with.

5. And then, when the formative period has passed, or at the twelfth year or thereabout, other records for this would be then in keeping with that to be the more helpful or beneficial in this material sojourn.

6. For, as the date indicates, that very close to a mighty power in material things becomes apparent.

7. A materialistic tendency, then, will be indicated in the experience of this developing entity in this sojourn.

8. One that will be strong in body and in mind, as well as in purpose, in aim, in desire; and the determination to have self's own will - as was indicated by that which was patterned, or a pattern for the entity, in its close association with Caesar - Julius; in that period when there was such a great power or influence as to become an influence in activities throughout.

9. As the entity develops there will be those tendencies toward those things in which the entity will be care free, resenting any form of guidance - unless love and patience

is thoroughly exemplified in those who would direct the activities of the entity.

10. One that will need discipline, and even in the early stages the routine as a soldier or those characters of conditions that make for such should be the rule of the life in its formative experience; else the entity may become a wanderer.

11. For there is the inclination to see and be a part of so many affairs.

12. Hence we will see more and more that of hero worship, even in the early years of the experience.

13. Hence the needs for not only the conversation about the entity, but for the precept and example, in whatever form of activity as may be necessary, to be of the nature as to bring a power toward directing in the channels in which ideals of a more spiritual nature or import are impressed upon the development of the entity in the formative years.

14. Only those precautions will be found necessary that are ordinarily given to the young. The entity will be of such nature and temperament as to not be inclined to be subject to even those conditions ordinarily indigent to the young. Hence the entity will be free from these, unless there is the lack of ORDINARY precautions, or unless there is neglect on the part of those who would direct.

15. As the formative periods begin, keep the conversation and the activities as relate to every form of guidance, in a way and manner in which precept and example are ONE and the same.

16. Give authority to those activities then, such that there is not the giving of conditions that are as mysteries but the natural explanations will be necessary.

17. Here we find little of the astrological influence will be apparent in the experience, but those periods of sojourn rule the greater.

18. And for the first twelve years, only that sojourn mentioned as the associate with that ruler; whose day the entity's birthdate celebrates - and thus there will be the needs for those considerations as we have indicated.

19. The name in that period was Brutus - hence the divisions and yet the longings to be as Caesar in that experience.

20. Then, let the entity learn discipline - teach the entity discipline from every angle - but in love, in patience.

21. We are through for the present. Two copies to Aunt Copy to Ass'n file file
