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 that entity now called [5008].

3. As we find there are those unusual qualifications about this entity. Here is an entity in whose activities precautions must be taken through the developing years as to its health, especially pertaining to the respiratory system; else there may be hindrances which would prevent the fuller or more complete development as to the abilities and virtues that are a part of the entity's activity in the material plane.

4. This entity should be trained so that when there are the completions of its development, the activity should be at or near the capitol of New York State; for from there we find that the entity should become active in the affairs of the nation. You see, there has been so much said about such activities and there has been so much expression as to such activities that the entity has entered here; and he should have one day a voice in the affairs of the state and of the nation.

5. We will find that the entity should be trained in law, and in political law, political economics, political science. These should be the measures and activities through and to which the entity should be given opportunities. In the early periods the entity should express its ability to think on its feet, its ability to speak, its ability to become as an active force in high

5008-1 Page 2

places, public affairs, public officials.

6. The entity as we find is endowed with the ability to win everyone with whom the entity makes personal contact. Then if there are those trainings, if there are those activities through which the entity may gain the usage of such, keeping such through the early training in line with spiritual things also, we find that these should be the background for the entity.

7. With those warnings heeded and with those opportunities given, we find that little should hinder the entity from becoming one who will respond.

8. For the entity in the early activities in this land, in the southern area, was John Randolph II. In the House of Delegates his activities were such that the peoples from other lands were the opponents in regard to the measures that were a part of the experience.

9. Thus we will find in the present those opportunities for the entity to work under the very same activities in which there were those measures taken through those periods.

10. Before that the entity was in the Roman land when there was much speech making by those who were in the ruling house for an empire building.

11. Then in the name Bruces, the entity was an orator, a speech writer rather than so much a deliverer; being one who controlled through its influence upon those who were put in high places.

12. Before that the entity was among those journeying from Egypt to the Holy Land.

13. Then in the name Zelus the entity was among the priests who were the readers of the law in those periods when the activities demanded law and custom, as well as the activities handed down from others by hearsay. The entity was rather a student or a reader of the law.

14. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, among the Atlanteans who were active when there were the attempts of unifying the varied groups when there was the return of the priest to authority in partially a religious sense and partially a political sense, but more in the moral way and in the preparation of individuals for special or definite services in the land.

15. The entity was among the Atlanteans trained by the Atlanteans after the entrance into Egypt, and thus a chief spokesman for the groups of Atlanteans.

16. Then the name was Marcelan.

17. Before that the entity was in the earth in the early periods of man's activity, when there were children born to the sons of Noah.

18. The entity was among the first of the groups born in the earth after the deluge or flood and the resettling in the lands of that period.

19. Then in the name Pelus, the entity was among those who made rules, laws and regulations for activities under which there was agreement by the various groups of its own peoples, in their separations, as to the records of how there were to be the settlings and where and what would be the privileges of individuals.

20. Thus we find those activities leading to the needs for the entity being first mindful of the health, then the opportunity in the training for law and public service.

21. Ready for questions.

22. (Q) What were the past relationships, what are the urges from these with the following: First, the older brother, [2607]? (A) These should be rather paralleled, for we will find where these were in the same periods of experience so that there was the knowledge and the questioning regarding each. There will ever remain quite a variation as to their associations, because the tendencies of each are in entirely different channels of thought.

23. (Q) The father, [2627]? (A) These associations also should be paralleled; that is, where there were those experiences together there were associations. These as we find have varied considerably, but there are those problems to be worked out together. There will be periods when the entity will be very close to the father. There will be other periods when great differences will arise.

24. (Q) The mother, [2425]? (A) In the same capacity in the early experience, and in those activities there will come the helpfulness. And this entity will be VERY close to its mother in this experience.

25. (Q) The paternal grandfather? (A) These should be drawn upon by the needs, the means and the activities.

26. (Q) The paternal grandmother, [2174]? (A) Very close especially in Egypt, but in others not so close. But the entity will be directed, or should be directed, by the tenets and truths of each, especially in the spirituality and purposes and ideals.

27. (Q) Would a permanent move to another environment such as ..., Mass., be considered more beneficial? (A) Read what we have been giving. The entity should be very much closer, eventually, to the activities or environs of Albany, New York.

28. (Q) If remaining in ..., N.H. is advised, is the High Mowing School advised? (A) This is advised - the High Mowing School is the place for the beginning.

29. (Q) How much freedom should the grandmother be given in educational and school matters? (A) Read what has just been given. There are the needs for this direction, and there should be given free activity and free direction.

30. (Q) Is the parents' judgement concerning the High Mowing School and Mrs. [2174] sound and worthy of following? (A) This depends upon who is to judge whether another is correct or not, or as to whether one would be put in the same position or place. There is a way that seemeth right that leadeth to destruction. There is a way that is right - the law of the Lord and not of the judgement of man alone.
