1. GC: You will have before you the body & enquiring mind of [257], who is at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, Ill., and you will answer the questions he has submitted concerning his mental and material affairs.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [257] - this we have had before, in many of the changes that have come about, and are coming about. Will there be seen in same a clarification of the consciousness of the body, of those things that so easily beset, then there may be an awakening that will bring that as has long been sought; at times partially, at others wholeheartedly.
3. Ready for question.
4. (Q) Please advise me whether I would be most successful by becoming a partner with I. S. Gaines, President of the Saginaw Furniture Shops - and who owns factories in Michigan, or with the owners of the Carolina Wood Products Co., or with the present associates - who are the receivers of Chicago Title & Trust Co. (A) As we find, there have been associations in a mental manner with Gaines, yet there have been the needs for those carrying-ons or developments for both, and in the present these would make for the better association in carrying on that part of the work that is of the nature of the woods, or the metal and woods products, that the body would be associated with.
5. (Q) Would Gaines be able to finance the operations of Carolina Wood Product Corp., for and with me, and be able to take over company from present owners? (A) That as the attitude that has been assumed by self too often, that the other fellow to do in the actuality and self only in work, labor, or the like. With the combined EFFORTS, in a COOPERATIVE manner, this might be accomplished - but the associations would be well. GOOD for all.
6. (Q) Why did Gaines want me associated with him?

10. (Q) Could or should I take over Carolina by myself and run it without a partner? (A) If you have the money!

All these have been given, in the various approaches to individuals, that that makes for the ability of a body to meet the various situations. When their ideals or purposes, or aims, are set aright, is as the development of an individual - and SHOULD NOT be pointed in each individual case, or else the body loses its own individuality; and PERSONALITY is certainly something NOT to be paraded or boasted of! Well to have, and necessary! if used properly! WITHOUT INDIVIDUALITY, you are nothing!
