Time of Reading ... Ave., 11:25 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Md. (Entity, and his activities in and through the various government agencies in an effort to make the best use of the abilities and knowledge gained through the associations in service for his fellow men. You will please give that guidance at this time which will lead to the proper contacts that will achieve success. Ques.)
1. EC: This question, as we find, becomes contingent upon what the entity, [333], defines within his consciousness as success. These then become the ideals, and that have often - owing to the immediate disturbances within the physical associations - brought a confusion that has hindered; through the making the spiritual concepts become confused in the materialization of the physical associations and activities.
2. A study of this in self should be made, first. For remember, as was given, "Thy ZEAL hath eaten thee up!"
3. Yea, know, then, that ye are in a material world. Do not overburden thine own self, or make for such conversation or activity as to become as it were a disturbing force to the very factors and channels through which ye would seek aid for the physical needs. See?
4. For as has so oft been given, wait ye on the Lord, this does not mean burdening every friend or every acquaintance with thy shortcomings or thy physical needs, but rather using EVERY channel, every association in hand to that extent where "There is needed that for the sustenance, and these are my abilities, my qualifications, my desires, my wishes. If these can be used as a service, then I offer myself as the channel for such a service."
5. This should be the general attitude.
6. As we find, through the channels that have been set in motion by the various individuals where such datum has been given and such attitude has been maintained as indicated, there are opportunities. Where it has been overburdened, or lack of the proper associations signified or the needs indicated, then these are just in that much short of

reaching the goal for material activity.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What further steps - [in re contacts with Senators, Congressmen, etc.] (A) (Interrupting) Just keep persistently in that direction of those policies as indicated.
9. (Q) Who of the following would be best - (A) (Interrupting) These should be chosen by self and not by sources that may see the shortcomings in self as well as the individuals that would exploit not only their offices but that are in keeping with the policies of the present administrations and activities. But follow these along the lines that have been indicated. Use each one, but do not ABUSE either thyself or thy opportunity, or thy need.
10. (Q) What position or title should be sought at Greenbelt? [Maryland] (A) That which is in keeping with thy individual qualifications for that needed in that particular environ. Set it as whatever it may be called!
11. (Q) What position or openings are there in other government agencies? (A) It is not so much as to what positions are open but what qualifications in self for those that may become open! And these should be followed, and these should be kept in mind, and these carried along in those directions that have been indicated as to ways and manners. Know, realize, TRULY - all the force and power is HIS! If thou art His, then thou art keeping His ways. And what are the ways? "A new commandment I give unto thee," said He. This manifest, and ye will find the good coming to thee, the joy increasing in that ye bring to others, in thine own self. These are the manners to seek.
