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 called
[
5008].
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.
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.
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 places, public affairs, public
officials.
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.
With those warnings heeded and with those opportunities
given, we find that little should hinder the entity from
becoming one who will respond.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Before that the entity was among those journeying from Egypt
to the Holy Land.
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.
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.
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.
Then the name was Marcelan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ready for questions.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(Q) The paternal grandfather?
(A) These should be drawn upon by the needs, the means and
the activities.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
We are through with this reading.

6/28/44 Letter from [
5008]'s mother: "...[
5008]'s reading is
lovely and will be our greatest guide. The recommendation
for the High Mowing School is hard for us to grasp now, but
there is so much time - and time will tell much. We can only
live the best we can each day and pray. When we do this the
right solution always presents itself when the time comes.
With this faith I had intended that those particular
questions which I had sent be withdrawn, but it makes no
difference, for it is all the same in the end. My second
batch of questions must not have arrived..."
1/45 GD's note: I was told by [
5008]'s grandmother [
2174]
that she had not seen his life reading; still did not know
what was in it - her son and daughter-in-law had never
discussed it with her.
8/06/60 Letter from [
5008]'s mother: "...[
5008]'s reading has
been a great help to me and still is. He has just come into
his own after a long struggle through his entire childhood
and is quite or rather truly a magnificent figure now. He
has one more year at Mt. Hermon School and hopes to go to
college in a more southern part of U.S..."
