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:
EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known
as or called [
4098].
Here we have rather an exceptional entity - because of
preparations in the minds and hearts of the parents,
especially of that entity carrying and caring for this
entity through those periods of gestation.
An exceptional musician, especially piano. If the
opportunity is given here we may have to the musical world of
America what Sir Joshua Reynolds was in his field - for it is
the same entity.
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them
here, we choose these with the desire especially that these
may prove helpful to those responsible for the entity during
the formative years of its experience in this particular
sojourn.
As we find, these are the urges:
One who will be subtle in its manner of approach to its own
individual problems, thinking long and deep, and usually
having its way. Then, unless there is some thought or care
taken in meeting these, we will find that the entity may
become inclined toward being overheadstrong; yet we will find
a gentleness, a seriousness, though periods when there will
be tendencies towards recklessness.
These are the warnings, then, that should be considered in
meeting these. Knowing what to look for as the mind unfolds
for the entity, we will be capable of meeting these and of
directing the entity.
Do give the opportunity for music. Let the entity listen
to and be guided by, not that character of music that is of
the passing fancy but that which builds harmony, that which
builds the bridge between the sublime and the finite - or
from the infinite to the finite mind. Cultivate these more
often in the body-mind as it unfolds. Thus we will find less
and less of this tendency for headstrongness.
But there will be periods of temper. We find that this can
be controlled, for as indicated, this is an unusual entity in
those fields of activity suggested.
Astrologically we find urges from Venus, Mercury, Mars,
Jupiter and Uranus. These are tempered ever by the
unusual or the extremes that will be found in activities.
From Venus we find urges related to the beautiful; inclined
towards spiritual or sacred music. These backgrounds will
be an excellent basis for the entity's development and
unfoldment.
As soon as it is practical for the entity to sit close to a
musical instrument, especially a piano, begin to practice on
same. Let it be a part of the entity's experience for the
next eighteen years to practice some time during each day.
Thus there will be brought the realms of the infinite through
and to those who seek to know much of the spiritual in the
experiences in the earth.
Before this, as indicated, the entity was an artist. Thus
the harmony, the desire ever in that experience to be the
musician - as it was in part during that sojourn; giving the
greater expression, of course, in composition. This will be
a portion of the expression in the present - the composition
of sacred music and classic music. For the entity may write
that which will mean from this period on as much as that by
Sir Joshua Reynolds in regard to the Holy Family.
Before that the entity was in the Holy Land when there were
those activities in which there were the gatherings of those
who sought to carry on the activities of the Master.
The entity was among those who added music to the service
that brought the oneness of mind, not only in song but in the
music of the instrument. For then the stringed instruments
were used, but the piano - which should be used in the
present - is by nature a stringed instrument.
The entity then added to that hope, that faith, that
understanding, by keeping that touch which would span
the varied realms of thought.
The name then was Sylvesta.
Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land during those
periods when there were the preparations for greater service
of individuals in specific activities.
The entity then especially through the Temple Beautiful
brought to others its activities in music - in the two,
three, four, five-stringed instruments.
The name then was Celeresbestuen.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present:
Much will depend upon the formative years, as to what will be
the outcome, by the manner in which the trainings begin.
Do give the entity the opportunity for activities in the
direction indicated, for it will mean much to many peoples.
And keep the entity close in that realm of spiritual
understanding.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What specifically are the problems he should work out
for himself during this particular sojourn on earth?
(A) As just indicated its stubbornness in having its own
way.
(Q) What were past associations with present family?
(A) Particularly in the activities in Egypt.
(Q) Is there any additional information regarding this
entity at this time?
(A) Just keep in that way as indicated. Do have some period
each day from now on - from now - for eighteen years - to
practice!
We are through for the present.

good money for a child - part of which he is trying to save
toward his college education. He graduates in the Spring
and at the present time says his strong leaning is toward
mechanical drawing or architecture. He is extremely talented
along these lines - can sit down and just sketch off anything
