Born November 11, 1935, in Chicago, Illinois. Time of Reading ... Drive, 10:40 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Illinois.
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, we have the records here of this entity. Many of these are very unusual. Quite an unusual personage in the individuality and personality of this entity, certainly quite a different environ in the present. These would give some individuals quite a shock, as to the associations in the present and those abilities, when considered in the light of the individual entity's activity through sojourns in the earth - especially just before this.
3. For, the entity before this was a patron saint of France, and yet so lazy as to be expressed in the present.
4. These would be quite contradictory experiences if we wouldn't find it manifesting in the entity's present experience.
5. The entity is capable, the entity will have opportunities - do give the entity those opportunities and those advantages that it may lead in the relationships yet to be established, especially with the peoples of France and the peoples of the Church, and America. For, the entity should be trained in diplomatic relationships as will have to do with those developments that will come to those peoples for their spiritual as well as material welfare, as conditions advance - when this personage, this body, has reached the age of fifty-four (54). Then there will be many changes such that, if the body now called [3202] is prepared, he may meet them even as did Gaules (?) Martin - in that experience as the patron saint.

6. In giving the interpretations, then, of the entity and his abilities, these we would choose to give with the desire that indeed this entity be prepared to meet the opportunities that will be presented to same.
7. Especially will it be interested in languages, once begun; especially French and Latin, Spanish. These should be the training of the entity, not for the Church but for the Christian principles of relationships of nations and groups of peoples in diplomatic activities. These should be the directions for the entity.
8. In Mercury and in Jupiter are the greater forces, as well as Saturn. The entity, unless directed and trained in these, will be tending to be idle or indolent. Hence the necessity for beginning the studies of these, and those in which it may become interested. And interest the entity in what it has been; then there will be possibilities for that which becomes of interest - and the entity goes to extremes with that in which it is interested, unless kept well balanced.
9. As to the appearances - this one just indicated will be too well known in some circles; and do include portions of this in the directions for the training.
10. Before that the entity was in the periods when the Master walked in the earth, among those of the household of Cornelius that were brought under the directions and teachings especially of Peter.
11. Hence the entity in the present is interested in those things of an unusual and of a mysterious nature. Yet there is ever the semblance of a good story well told, as well as the principles pertaining to Christian living. Reading, a little outside games - these are the most interesting to the entity, as from those experiences then - in the name Pecbo.
12. Before that the entity was in Egypt when individuals were prepared for the exchange of diplomatic relations between other lands. Thus the entity was prepared through the fires of the Temple of Sacrifice and then in the Temple Beautiful, as an emissary to the lands of the Golden Temple. The entity's activities there brought the peoples to power and to understanding, and to the equalizing of many things. Thus oriental things have an interest, those of the Chinese land and of Indo-China especially, for it was there that the entity became a power through those periods; yet never forgetting the tenets started in Egypt for an idea, an ideal.
13. Then, train up the entity in the way it should go, and when it is old it will not depart from it.

14. Let the basis ever be the Christian principles, and close to His teachings.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) When, where and how has the entity been associated in the past with his present grandmother, [3006]? (A) In the Holy Land we find there was an acquaintance, the entity receiving teaching from the one who is now the grandmother. And in the Egyptian land the entity was very close, being an offspring of the one who is present grandmother.
17. (Q) Why did the entity choose this body? (A) To meet the needs for the conditions in which there might be the unfolding for many of those things that were patterns of the experience through varied activities in the earth.
18. (Q) Has the entity been associated in the past with his paternal grandfather, [...]? If so, how? (A) In the experience before this. There the associations were as a helper, an instructor one to the other. Do prepare this body for the work, the opportunities it may have.
