1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind of [452], those conditions in the physical and mental, as well as the problems that confront the mental body at this time.
2. In the physical forces of the body, these we find are very good in most respects, there needs be a little change for the physical to function in a nominal and normal way and manner.
3. In the mental abilities and conditions as surround the body, that there have been those conditions arising in the experiences of the body that have brought conditions of an unsatisfactory nature are apparent in decisions as present themselves. As we find there are those abilities in mental that peculiarly fit body for certain phases of experiences, fields of activity and endeavor that have builded for helpfulness in mental and spiritual manner as well as abilities to direct activities in manner most helpful to groups, classes, masses in varied associations as would come to activities of body as the directing of the activities in the Missions and missionary and commercial fields, in the various associations of national and international relationships that would bring to the body those experiences of the satisfaction and contentment in service as to make for the better conditions in the experience of the entity.
4. That there are to be many changes in such relationships is imminent, and evident by the condition as has arisen in the affairs of nations, and those need the attention of one fitted in the mental and spiritual manner as to make for the greater manifestations of that that is builded in the inner man of this individual.
5. In this then, we would find the outlet for the activities of the body as to bring forth the mental, those of the greater service to the greater numbers of peoples in the various spheres. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What line of work would be of greatest gain to body in the present? (A) As indicated, this would depend to be sure, upon what

is set or chosen as the ideal manner in which the body would render service, whether in building that for self and self's satisfaction, or for the purposes, aims, desires as have been awakened in the individuality of the body, in those fields where both the commercial and the spiritual values are necessary for national and international relationships, would offer the greatest field of activity.
7. (Q) Where can body find position or employment in this line of work? (A) Through those channels where there are those of the various councillorships and various activities of the various Boards, both commercial and missionary activity.
8. (Q) What should body study to gain the most, mentally and spiritually? (A) In the study of self and his relationships to the fellow man, and the manifestations of the spiritual forces in the experiences of man will open for the entity, the body, the body-mind, those of the greater possibilities, the greater opportunities of service. These as we find may be as the reading in such literature or study, those or that as the Book of Books, those as relate to the necessary requirements of relationships in any field of activity as may be chosen in the field of service, then would present the next problems, those that relate to the various experiences of research in the various periods, or experiences of individuals and groups as related to such relationships, would offer the next field.
9. (Q) Make suggestions for prayer to be used by body. (A) In seeking His presence let that mind be in thee as was in Him. "Use Thou me, Oh Lord, in the way, the manners, that Thou seest I may be of the greater service to my fellow man. Lift Thou me up and may Thy presence abide with me. Lift me not up Oh Lord, save Thy presence be with me."
10. (Q) Give affirmations to be used by the body. (A) In these these should come rather as from the impulses of the heart through the applications of that as may be gained by and through the applying of that gained in that just given.
11. (Q) Please spell out names of books and authors mentioned in Reading in August 1932, such as Ex or Ecco. [See 452-3, Par. 14-A.] (A) Ex that as compiled by the Bishop of the Church of England, published by Henry Holt; that Ecco as published in the Wurttemberg Press.
