Time and Place: Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Conn.

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, or 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 [5306].
In giving the interpretations of that as we find, much more of this should be given to those who are responsible for the entity's advent into the material world, and as to what then may be expected of the entity, and warnings as to how those who are responsible shall environ the entity for greater unfoldment.
As we have indicated for others, those entering the material plane in '43, '44, '45, '46 are purposeful individual entities, and much will depend upon these souls as to what manner of activity will be in the world a score of years hence.
Much more, then, depends upon what background, what basis of thought there is given the entity for its consideration, its assimilation, and distribution or application among its fellow man.
The general tendency of this entity is to be first stubborn; not that the will of the entity should be broken, yet these should be as tenets and truths lived by those about the entity, rather than precepts of, "You do this because I say this, you do this because Uncle John thinks it's right or Aunt Jane says you ought to do this."
Don't say one thing in the presence of the child and do something else yourself. Don't give instructions or ask the child to do that which you do not do yourself, for yourself becomes a liar in the very act of same.
Do make for the principle of the teachings of love, patience, gentleness, kindness. These, as ye manifest them in his presence, will bring to the entity the formations of ideals.
There will be the tendency towards music as will be seen from some appearances, though just a few maybe given in the present, and then when ye have done something about those possibilities in music, in verse, in song, there may be those others given which may be those others given which may be the more helpful for this entity.
As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, as indicated, only the one before this may be given in the present:
For the entity then was of the song writers whose words and music was of the type which has lived and will live longer than any one individual American.
So, the entity will be so American as to be hard to get along with, even when other lands or names are mentioned, during the first twelve years of its sojourn in the earth.
For the entity was Stephen C. Foster, and how little others then thought of the entity and now how much he is thought of! but few, still, appreciate the abilities.
Hates will be easy for the entity, because of the slights and the slurs which were parts of the experience.
Evenness of temper will be those things to bring into the experience, through the gentleness, through the patience, manifested.
And when the entity is some ten to twelve years of age, we will give the connections with others.
Remember, those responsible for the entity must instruct; not Aunt Sue or Aunt Emily or Uncle John, but the father and mother. There the responsibility lies.
We are through, then, for the present.
