Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks enlightenment, advice and guidance as to his financial situation, mental and material affairs. Questions.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [657]; this we have had before.
2. Regarding the conditions in the material things about the body, there have been indiscreet activities and some liberties taken that might be questioned in the experience of the body; thus brings to the mind and the experience the turmoils, the fears, that are the outcome of these experiences.
3. Not that we would find fault, nor chide with the body; neither would we condone these activities. And unless there is the determination, the purpose, the wish, the desire on the part of the body-mind to - not reform, but to put from the experience any such future activities, we would not advise that these suggestions be followed.
4. But rather we would give that there should be the expending of self in every direction that others might be aided and benefitted by such an expenditure. Why SHOULD one be aided? For it is not all just to have faith, nor to be good; but have faith IN something sufficient to put it into PRACTICAL application in the daily experience; to be good not only as for the ease, the satisfaction it may bring, but being good FOR something; expending self, as it were, ABASING self in the service of others - THIS is worth while, and brings joy, contentment, and an experience that is worth while.
5. Should the body-mind now use that which may be given and NOT DETERMINE such, it will be to his OWN undoing.
6. Then, in meeting the situations that are in the experience of the body in the present, we find from more than one source may there be made arrangements to meet the situations. There are the associations of an aunt, whereby

arrangements have been made that there is to be turned to the body a portion of the estate; not only as a part of the entity's own experience but as in protection or guardianship for others that are to be named. Use this aright! lest there be those hardships coming to thee worse than the other!
7. This, as we find, should come into the experience of the entity within the next thirty or sixty days. Yes, through those channels that the entity has made and does make the financial association and connection with these necessitating activities may there be borrowed sufficient to replace those bonds that have been lost - yes, LOST - by the body.
8. In making recuperations also (and this is to be only for self), if there is the desire for speculation that there may be the replacing, begin - NEVER more than with the expenditure of a hundred dollars in one time - in American Can; for it will - through the whole portion from October 5th to the 25th - be on the advance. But never let more than two days go by, for these are not to be held - but to be bought and sold for immediate returns. And to give such information as tips to others is to destroy self's own abilities to use that given.
9. These are being ENTRUSTED to thee, my son! Wilt thou abuse them, or wilt thou save thyself through those channels that may be opened to thee at this time?
10. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
