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 known as or called [5153].
3. In giving an interpretation of the records here, much rests with the parents as to how complete the entity may fit itself for its abilities and urges latent and manifested in this experience. These as characteristics will be seen with the entity:
4. One always wanting to fix something, not matter what.
5. The entity is always inclined to want to make something which would be an improvement.
6. Thus, we will find the entity a scientific genius if the opportunities for self-expression are given full opportunity in this experience.
7. Those things which would pertain to the study of mind, as well as that which would be applied in making improvement upon things, either electrically-driven or as to improvements or corrections in collecting of data, collecting of interesting experiences of or with individuals.
8. Thus there is the bringing to the entity of a tendency to be rather too much inclined to be sober and sarcastic. And this may not turn out so well unless there is given the entity such opportunities to improve the mind, or to study law as pertaining to conditions or things; not so much having to do with material happenings as with the arbitrary

expression from spiritual attributes of individuals.
9. Before this we find the entity was among those who improved the city or the activities in the place of the entity's first awareness or consciousness in the present. And we may find in those environs the channels through which the entity may analyze or study those things necessary for setting the entity for the inventive turn, as well as for the converts of those things which pertain to mental and spiritual things only.
10. Then we find the name was Tom Ccoullough. In the experience the entity gained by aiding in the preparation of things pertaining to mechanical appliances which would be labor-saving to man.
11. Before that we find the entity was in those periods when there was rebellion from activities in the English land owing to the position of the King and the common peoples.
12. The entity aided in arousing peoples who would follow closely in the line of those who set about making rules and regulations which would pertain to the individuals and which might be applicable also in groups and masses.
13. Before that we find the entity was in the Holy Land when there were those preparations made for the ministering to the Saints in the various isles to which the Disciples were sent, as well as the peoples who were in authority in the early church.
14. The entity aided in preparing ways and means through which individuals would be privileged to follow out, or follow through with their purposes and ideals, in preparing ships which were to be used in the service of those tenets held by the entity.
15. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Holy Land when the peoples journeyed from Egypt to the Holy Land.
16. The entity was among those who aided some of the sons or children of Dan to prepare the mechanical things for the carrying of the tables, the altar, candlesticks, and those things which were to be used by other individuals.
17. The entity was then in the name Eijalu. In the experience the entity gained the more, and with the application of self came knowledge and power within self to control influences about the entity.
18. As to the abilities of the entity, then, as indicated, much depends upon how and where and when those who are responsible for the entity prepare the ways and the means for the entity to apply the abilities which are latent and manifested.
19. Ready for questions.

20. (Q) What must be guarded against? (A) As to the losing hold upon the spiritual aspect of the studies.
21. (Q) What have been the past relationships with members of the immediate family, and what may they do to enrich his life and all those with whom he comes in contact: First, his father [2206]? (A) As has been indicated, the parents should make themselves responsible for the administering to the needs of the entity that which will enable him to become a scientist.
