Hq. & Hq. Squad., Time of Reading 13th Composite 11:00 to 11:15 A.M. Eastern Standard Time. Wing, A.C. Borinquen Field, P.R.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [361], at Borinquen Field, in the Air Corp. Headquarters Squadron of the 13th Composite Wing, stationed in Puerto Rico. The entity seeks a Mental and Spiritual Reading, with advice and guidance as to his life and work. Then, as I read the questions, you will comment on the possibilities suggested in them, and advise the entity just what direction he should now take.
2. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [361]; this we have had before.
3. Regarding the mental and spiritual aspects, and the activities best suited for the entity - these have been indicated; also the manner in which these are to be applied.
4. That there are now changes coming in the experience of the entity may be expected. For, all mental development is a growth in experience, in application, and in meeting the varied problems as they arise.
5. As to how, or the manner in which the entity may meet those problems arising, this may be best answered within self - by the analysis of the purposes, the ideals, and the sincerity with which the entity applies these in its daily relationships with others.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Would it be best for me to keep pushing toward getting into Navigation School, as an enlisted man can work in Navigation? (A) As we have indicated, and as we still find, the pushing should be towards those departments as first outlined for the entity. These are or should be the part of the experience in which the entity may best apply self after these periods.
8. (Q) Would Teck. [Tech.?] Supply give me the training

needed for my life work? If so, how should I go about getting into it? (My chances are good.) (A) In the Supply - these, of course, are in line with that as has been indicated and that, as we find, are still the channels through which the entity may find the greater abilities and the greater contentment in the application of that knowledge gained. The entity is in touch with those that are in Supply, as well as those that have to do with the ordinances; and these are the better for the entity. Keep on making application just as first given.
9. (Q) Would Squadron Supply give me the training needed for my life work? (A) This would give PARTIAL training, but is not as full or complete; though these are well for the first steps.
10. (Q) Would it be best to continue in the Army work as I am doing now? If so, give advice as to the best way to do so. (A) As we find, we would follow in that way that is not always apparently the easier, but - as has been indicated by the abilities of the entity - in those of the ordinance and supply departments, WITH those that have been a part of the work, would work out to the better conditions.
11. (Q) Would it be wise to transfer into another Squadron of the Air Corp? (A) This must be a choice of the entity.
12. (Q) If so, which and how should I go about it in order to get the best results? (A) This must be a choice of the entity. There must be reliance, dependence upon the ability of self to coordinate with circumstances as well as ideals and purposes of the entity's activities.
13. (Q) Would it be best to transfer into some other department of the Army rather than the Air Corp? If so, which and how? (A) As indicated, there are the better outlets in those channels first outlined.
14. (Q) Is it possible to find my life work in the Army as well as in civilian life? (A) If an entity is desirous of finding its place, its relationship, know that wherever it is - WHEREVER it is - it should begin! And each day, each hour, offers a new opportunity for those who seek to find their place, their relationship, to be a channel of blessings to others, through the knowledge of the divine within their own individual experience.

Keep that before thee constantly. Not as something that hinders from the material associations. Rather let it sweeten; let it make the entity, the body, the mind, the activities more amenable, more congenial, more in that atmosphere of helpfulness always to others. For, let thy righteousness be practical, livable, everyday; not periodical.
15. We are through for the present. [See 361-13, Par. R1 for questions that did not get asked.] Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Mother
