TEXT

1. EC: Yes - yes.
2. Yes, we have the records here.
3. This record in the present should be first to those to whom this entity has come. Then, when there has been the unfoldment, and the entity may seek itself in its tenth to eleventh year, then we would give those influences for the entity to be controlled through, and the directions it should take in the preparations for its activities in this material world.
4. For, here we have a quick return - from fear, to fear through fear. And these bring, with those experiences of the entity, that which will require special influences to be put into the experiences of this mind; that it may be kept away from fear, away from loud noises, darkness, the scream of sirens, the shouts of individuals of fear to the entity.
5. For, the entity was only just coming to that awareness of beauty of associations, of friendships, of the beautiful outdoors, nature, flowers, birds, and of God's manifestations to man of the beauty, of the oneness of purpose with individual activities in nature itself; and then the tramping of feet the shouts of arms, brought destructive forces. The entity then was only a year to two years older than in the present experience, that finds the world such a turmoil for the entity in its dreams, its visions, its experiences in those periods when the body mind is active again to those fears about it.
6. The entity then, in the name Theresa Schwalendal, was on the coasts of Lorraine. The entity only passed out and then in less than nine months again entered a material world.
7. Be patient. Do not scold. Do not speak harshly. Do not fret nor condemn the body-mind. But do tell it daily of the love that Jesus had for little children, of peace and harmony; never those stories such of the witch, never those as of fearfulness of any great punishment; but love, patience.
8. This do, and we will find a great, a wonderful soul, that has come again to bless many.
9. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/04/43 Mother's letter:
   "I would be most grateful if you could give a physical reading for my four year old daughter, [3162]. She is vital, high strung and seems to have an excessive amount of nervous energy. Sometimes, after sleeping in the afternoon, she awakes in a lost, distraught frame of mind, rings her hands and cries ceaselessly. It seems to be a sort of seizure or fit. I am very quiet with her and in about a half hour she becomes normal again, and she doesn't seem to have any recollection of what troubled her. I need much guidance in caring for and educating her. I sent her to nursery school thinking that association with other children would be beneficial for her. But she isn't happy at school and I question whether I did the right thing. Although perhaps this would seem irrelevant for a physical reading, it does bear on her physical condition if the seat of her trouble is in the nervous system."
