1. GC: You will give the relations 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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - [3172] [EC named her] we have the entity here, we would call [3172].
3. As we find, these would rather be directions to those responsible for this entity. We will find very definite characteristics in the entity. This will necessarily mean, then, that directions shall be given.
4. One that will be inclined to have its own way.
5. One that will be gifted especially in voice and in the use of the feet and hands. Thus those directions that may be given, even in its early years, toward rhythm and music. For this entity, the ability for accompaniments for the voice, as we find, would be the real accomplishment of the entity. These abilities should bring not only joy and hope to those about the entity but hope and pleasure to the many.
6. These, then, will be those directions:
7. Be mindful that the digestive forces are kept in order during the early periods of the unfoldment of the body and of the mind. [See Physical Rdg. 3172-2 on 5/15/44.] Care should be taken in those directions, and we should find the bringing of joy, hope, help to all those about this entity.
8. As to the appearances of the entity in the earth - these we find have been quite varied. This will make, then, those tendencies for supersensitiveness in the body and in the mind, and in the unfolding mind. A great imagination to the body-mind. This should not be stifled, but rather

encouraged; not to extravagance but to the understanding and interpreting of those abilities within the entity.
9. For - before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, in the early experiences of the Civil War; among those peoples in the land of the entity's present general surroundings that made for the entertainment for those that were given to activities in those particular periods of unrest among the varied groups.
10. Hence we will find the definite decisions and likes and dislikes in the experience of the entity, as its life unfolds in the present.
11. The name then was Edyth Bland. The entity gained through those periods of activity in contributing to the welfare of others.
12. Before that the entity was in the Holy Land, when there were the associations with many of those that will enter the life experience of the entity in varied forms and manners in the present; many by merely the mental experience, many by the physical associations, many by the history or as a mental experience for the entity.
13. The entity added much to the helpful welfare of individuals through those periods of persecution, as well as in periods of activity in the many varied lands.
14. Hence the abilities as will be seen in the use of the voice, especially in this experience in the earth.
15. The name then was Malthah. The entity brought helpful forces for the many, and the activities that may be experienced in the present of seeing, knowing, of activities in many lands. For, the entity will be destined - according to purpose - for traveling, for changing and going to many places and many lands, even.
16. Before that (among those that come under the experience of the entity in its first and second cycle in the present) the entity was in the Egyptian land; when there were the associations with many of those in the entity's own household in the present - as in close association with the mother, and in relationships of the understanding of the father in those periods of advancement and developments in the preparations for groups in that particular land.
17. The name then was El-Ex-Ea.
18. As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
19. Keep close to those things pertaining to the spirit of purposefulness in those directions for the use of the voice; in those directions more by the mother and the closer relationships of same. These will be the activities of the entity through those periods of the first three cycles in this experience.

20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Have there been other relationships with the present mother [457]? (A) Other experiences, but these will have the greater influence in the present.

23. (Q) Are there any particular warnings to the parents concerning certain periods of the development of this entity? (A) Only in the early period as indicated, concerning the early period of digestion.
24. (Q) For what purpose did the entity come to the present parents? (A) To make for a uniting of effort not only in the home but in the purpose for which each soul enters a material experience, to the glory of the Creative Forces or God - and here to the entity it is given to use in voice. [See especially 457-10 Reports.]
