TEXT

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 entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes - we are given the records here of that entity now known as or called [2458].
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, these are such that they should be given rather in serial form - if they are to prove the more helpful for this entity, and for those who would undertake to guide the developing years.
Thus the time would be allowed for the entity to assimilate instructions that others may give for the full awakening of the entity to the abilities which lie latent in the soul development of the entity.
For the entity, from its experience in the earth, is one who has great abilities; that may be turned into good or bad, dependent upon purposes for which the direction is chosen - and which the entity may apply as a gratifying of self or for becoming wholly an instrument for good.
From its own visions and experiences, the inclinations and tendencies in the present are for the entity to accept as fact that which is mentally experienced.
The inclination to become dictatorial, and to give formulas, may be seen as the two indications that may be given at present of the entity's activity in the earth.
Being a Uranian, - this in itself makes the extreme, and the necessity for guarding the health of the body - especially as related to the digestive tract and the lungs.
Hence - for the next three and one-half years - the entity should be alone with a spiritual guide or director; one who would not only interpret nature but make this practical and applicable in the entity's experience.
For this will not only have the most to do with producing a healthy body for that the entity may accomplish, but in moulding that dependance within the entity itself - from its great intuitive forces - to be directed in those channels in which the abilities may be made accessible for, and comprehendable to, mankind as a whole.
The entity's appearance in the earth before this is of such outstanding nature as to become rather appalling to some.
For, the entity then was a psychic - though it isn't a good word - but a minister also; Charles Wesley.
Then, in determining those environs under and in which the training or preparation is to be made, - that life should be carefully studied, analyzed, by those who would instruct or direct - for the next three years - the purposes, the abilities.
Keep the entity from that of self-confusion, self-domination; and build the desire to serve others - for that is the duty of each soul.
As the applications of those principles are made in this experience of the entity, help or suggestions through these channels may be given from time to time as to how this instruction may be directed - if there is the choice for cooperating with the DIVINE within self and not the ego alone.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would you suggest such a one to be the guide for the next three years?
(A) There are environs to be considered, - there are choices to be made by the entity. There is to be the acceptance or rejecting of principles that have - in a manner - confused the entity.
(Q) Should he be left in the school where he is until the end of the year?
(A) It should require at least that long for an analysis and for a study of what might be done - if the suggestions indicated here are to be followed.
We are through for the present.
Two copies to Mrs. [...] (one for the child's grandmother)

BACKGROUND

2/28/41 Mrs. [2174]'s letter (she had agreed to do research on children in her school, paralleling the Life Readings): "My dear, I have found my first child for you!! His grandmother is interested in the Readings, being a medium herself, and he is coming to Edgewood in the fall. He also is a rare soul I think - I'll tell you the whole story when I see you, but in the meantime I want a Life Reading for him. He is [2458], born in Los Angeles, California, April 8, 1929. He can be home from school and in his apartment quietly at 4:00 P.M. on any Tuesday or Friday. His address is ... Street. We have not told him about the Reading, as he's only eleven. He himself is psychic and I do not think he need be told. I was going to do this (the Reading) later but I want a Reading in the next two weeks because he was told by two foreigners who were measuring heads of the boys in school a completely fantastic tale in any ordinary terms about who he might be, and I want your check as soon as possible. If you want him told I will tell him but I don't want to stir things up.
"As to questions: What should be done to improve his health? Should he be left in the school where be is until the end of the year?
"I am very excited about [2458]. I have known him several years but fate has been playing pleasant tricks lately... [2174]"

REPORTS

3/31/41 Mrs. [2174]'s letter to EC: "...I have seen Mrs. [...] again and she would like to go to see you with [2458] some time in early June. They have moved to ... [2458] is out of school on doctors orders and already looks better. She had (3) tests for T.B. and they are negative. Mrs. [...] is relaxing too. She is an experience."
