1. GC: 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, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions that may be asked:

2. EC: Yes, we are given the records here of that entity now called Baby [2824] [Surname used here].

3. In giving the interpretations of the records here, many things and conditions should be considered as to the name. For, the entity has been in those experiences in the earth a figure in the land, and the lands, of the entity's activities.

4. Hence, names will mean much to the entity.

5. As we find from the records, and in the interpretation of same, the name SHOULD be: [2824].

6. For, as we will find, of those activities of the entity, these will be characteristics:

7. A very DETERMINED individual, yet NOT high tempered, but HAVING his way!

8. Here we find the entity an ancestor of himself - [2824], in the experience before this; a farmer, a wide awake, high-minded individual. [GD's note: b. 1829. d. 1881]

9. In this experience the entity should be a doctor; and should, and will, be a very betraveled individual.

10. He will be an observer of little things.

11. He will be wealthy - which will come from listening, taking advantage of opportunities; as will be seen in not only having his own way but in the experiences that will be part of the entity's experience.

12. Entering at this particular period, there will be in the

affairs of the earth those activities similar to those as the king of Sweden, in keeping with that of keeping peace in the earth. This will be a part of the entity's activities.

13. Teaching also is indicated in the experience. Thus the unusual opportunity of education, by travel as well as by that of association and of pedagogy.

14. Spiritual precepts should be especially stressed in this entity's early developing; not by force or by might but by reasoning.

15. The entity will be one of strong body, and should be allowed to engage in all characters of sports; football, baseball, soccer, tennis, bowling - all of these should be in the experience of the entity; not as an activity for pay, but as developing of body, of mind.

16. Beware of politics for this entity; though there will be opportunities for same through the experience of the entity in the earth.

17. These are the warnings:

18. Beware of activities that have to do with the digestion, and the throat. These are the weaknesses in the karmic forces influencing this body.

19. In those periods when the body may reason for itself, directions may then be given the entity. These are given for those responsible for the entity.

20. An unusual career may be had as a doctor. Educate, put then in the way of the entity those things that may have to do with every form of those activities spiritual, mental and material, that may be of a helpful force in bringing to those in the material plane the consciousness of health-giving force in the experience of those that suffer; knowing that He, the Son, healeth thy diseases, He enlighteneth thy mind, He encourageth those who seek after Him - spiritually, mentally, materially.

21. Ready for questions.

22. (Q) Which of the names should the body be called? (A) [2824].

23. (Q) Any other suggestions for training the body, or as to the warnings for the physical? (A) As indicated, the warnings are as to the digestion and throat. The training - spiritual aptitude, mental alertness, physical - always meeting the issue squarely.

24. (Q) Any special time of warning for the physical, from astrological conditions? (A) The eleventh of any month. The entity should, when choosing a companion, choose one either for January or October.

25. (Q) Can any more be given at this time regarding the appearances in the earth? (A) These should be sufficient for knowing what you have to deal with for the present. Let the entity seek that as indicates other activities. To be sure, it was a physician in the period of the Master, - and the writer. It was a king in Sweden, Charles III. It was a [2824] in the experience before this, [2824]. In the Egyptian experiences it was the offspring of the Young King. In the experiences in China it was the father of the entity who is at present its mother.

26. We are through for the present. nt.
