TEXT

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 [5134].
In giving the interpretation of the records in the present, much more would the counsel be given to those responsible for the entity, in enabling the entity to fulfill those purposes for which it chose to enter this special experience.
That there are abilities, thus there are possibilities, and there also comes responsibilities upon the part of those responsible for the entity, being forewarned, ye are to be forearmed.
The entity will, if given that direction, be among those who may be real contributors to literature that has to do with those things pertaining to mathematical problems. And thus in the early stages of the experience there should be given the opportunity, especially, in mathematics, and in English and English Composition. For these are they which may enable the entity to apply self in this present experience such that, if the entity is prepared, it may write pertaining to such subjects as did Van Dyke¹ [See note at Pg. 2]. For the entity was closely associated, as to have been a portion of the consciousness of Van Dyke, in his composition on the things pertaining to spiritual morality, material undertakings.
Things that have to do with astronomical, (not astrological but astronomical) activities; all of these should be in the early periods of study.
Then, when the entity is twelve, we would give the associations and connections with others, and give that needed according to how well those suggestions have been applied in the present experience of the entity.
You have an opportunity, don't muff it!
We are through for the present.
Two copies to Miss [1747] (One for parents)
Copy to Ass'n file
Two for indexing

¹ [GD's note: Evidently Van Dyke is not spelled correctly, since I cannot find any writer of note under that spelling, but the sound of the name as EC gave it was as if it were spelled Van Dyke.]

BACKGROUND

[5134] resides with her parents. All the readings for various members of this family were arranged by the Aunt, Miss [1747].
3/13/44 Aunt's letter: "...For [5134] give unto this entity that which is needful in this life: What field that is best suited for her; what must be guarded against. Give instructions as to carrying out same. That which her father [2341], mother, sister [2877], brother, grandmother [3050], and aunt [1747] may do to enrich her life and those she comes in contact with and their previous associations. I want the same questions for [2877] but substitute [5134] where the sister is mentioned. The same for [5153] but substitute that which father [2206] and aunt [1747] may do to enrich his life and those he comes in contact with and their previous relationships. May I have 2 copies of these readings."
