Time of Reading 9:55 A. M. New York, N.Y. (Mental & Spiritual Rdg. with questions)
1. EC: We have the body here. Now in the physical, in the mental, in the spiritual and business relations with this body, we find one well filled with many conditions, many of which are well pleasing to the mental, the physical, the spiritual well-being. The mental body of this entity is above the normal when considering business associations or business relations. Well, however, would the entity know more concerning those spiritual impulses as make one as a unit in all; that is, as force is the impelling power in the material world, so is this the impelling force in the mental and the spiritual world. In the relations then with individuals, let those forces emanate that the self may ever be conscious of the life well spent in keeping the spiritual aspects of life first and foremost. Not that anyone should give self to being sober, long-faced or not knowing any of the pleasures of the earthly spirit, yet use, rather than abuse, those relations. Then there may come to the self that consciousness of the life, the experience, expended in a way that self may be made one with that universal force from which all radiation comes to those who will but apply self to the use, and not the abuse, of those talents given to thee. For in the mental forces, in the spiritual forces, each and every entity is the reflection of that the entity worships. Then blessed is he whose God, whose Lord, is the Lord of hosts and not self nor self's aggrandizement of the elements that make up the present conditions only of a physical existence. [1 Sam. 1:11; Ps. 40:4]
2. In this body, [212], we find the mental body surpassing much in the way of ability to serve, in the ability to bring much understanding to many. As the body turns retrospective to the mental forces, there is seen that which is manifested in the little kindnesses, that which is manifested in the little pleasantnesses. These bring a greater satisfaction to the life, rather than big things accomplished in the
212-1 Page 2
business or social world. Yet as given, these elements also exist in the elements of the mental forces necessary for the carrying on of larger business relations; then keep self in that way and manner.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Which of the four young men now known by this body would be the most suitable person to marry? (A) In marriage relationships there come many responsibilities that to the mental and the spiritual forces of this body would be as halting to the development of the best in the body mentally, physically and business-ways. Yet there appears only the forces of the relations that the life would not be well-spent without there arising those relations that would give to the world the ensample of that felt within self of the ideal relations. For this entity, while practical in many respects, is an idealist when this relationship is considered. Better consider all of these twice before accepting any of these. Another will appear.
5. (Q) Will this other appear in Europe or in America? (A) Should be America, yet there are those natural tendencies that draw or give the impulse of relationships with others of not American birth, yet these will be of naturalized America.
6. (Q) When will this body marry? (A) This would not be given from here; for this body, if nothing else, is of its own mind.
7. (Q) When should this body marry? (A) When that ideal, that relation as is as an ideal to the entity, may be accomplished with one of those that are considered in such relationship. Home is the foundation of the Government, of the moral and the spiritual life. Yet as given, such a step for the body should be weighed well, when there is so much to be accomplished and so much dependent upon the entity. For as is seen, each has its own individual work to accomplish in the earth's plane that may not be accomplished by any other, and as each entity gives or lends itself toward the development of those universal forces, that make the better understanding of the human relationship with the spiritual endowment of the human and mental forces, greater becomes that relationship. Then consider many before the body would enter into such relationship.
8. (Q) How will she recognize this body? (A) How would she recognize this body? An atomic force may be used as an illustration of how anyone may be very sure, very certain that the forces as are set in motion by the meeting, the contact of such relationship are in line with
212-1 Page 3
that other self that must carry out those conditions as are set for each entity to accomplish. When the heart answereth to the heart of the other, there is that fullness of force that may accomplish those ends destined through death "do us part" by each, for the better development of each, as is seen and felt, and yet may not be discussed other than that contrasts are as an element of that necessary to make the perfect union, which is as negative and positive necessary to give the full atomic forces in a physical sense.
9. (Q) How will her business develop during 1927 and 1928? (A) Very satisfactory in 1927. 1928 very, very much improved. Very much better towards the end of May.
10. (Q) Will she make any valuable associations while she is in Europe? (A) This question in itself is incorrect. There is never an association that is not valuable. As to the using or to the applying of self towards such relation - that is rather the question. There are those whom the entity, the body, the mental forces will be attracted to in Europe as there already are. These new associations will bring new power, new abilities, new conditions to be met. Apply self mentally towards same and these may be made useful, beneficial by service to the other, which is necessary for the better accomplishment of the use of any associations.
11. (Q) The parents of this body are forcing her to marry for her own good. What do the Forces advise? [GD's note: She was her parents' only child.] (A) Never be forced, not for the own good, until the heart answereth to the heart within.
12. (Q) Will this body have children? (A) This may be accomplished within the body, yes.
13. (Q) How many? (A) This may not be given, for the will or the application of self towards physical conditions does not interest the body in toto as much as the mental and spiritual body.
14. (Q) What other advice will be beneficial for this body to use on the present trip which she is about to begin? (A) Much may be said or much advice may be given; - rather let all be summed in that as given. Remember within self the God is the reflection of our lives in the manner as above given.
15. (Q) How can this body improve her spiritual standing for her body's interest? (A) Understand self and self's impulses. Then there may be seen that necessary for the conditions that may need correction or change; for each condition in a life, physical mental or spiritual, must be met. Delay only makes the
212-1 Page 4
conditions the harder to meet.
16. (Q) This body has many complicated feelings at different times. How can she settle these conditions in her own mind? (A) By letting that voice from within answer the questions for self; for truly it has been given, "My spirit beareth witness with Thy spirit," as to the relations in any element or condition. [Rom. 8:16]
17. (Q) Is it advisable for this body to continue in her father's business? [See father's rdg. 213-1 on 12/3/27.] (A) Very advisable.
18. (Q) For how long? (A) The business will be in the charge or care of the entity. Then prepare and keep self for that.
19. (Q) How long will the body remain in Europe? (A) The body will be called home.
20. (Q) Will this be on account of business? (A) Be on the account of many conditions, not business alone. By social and physical and business relation. Apply self in the way and manner as has been given.
21. We are through.
