Time of Reading 11:50 to 12:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Alabama. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks information, advice, counsel and guidance as to the proper procedure to obtain work at the present time. You will give any information that would be of value to her at this time, and answer the questions that will be asked.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [771].
2. In giving that which we find in the experience of this entity, much might be said (if it would be accepted in the manner as it is presented) as to the attitude the entity has taken as to its associates, associations, and the environs in which the entity has sought to seek through.
3. First, there must be eradicated from the mental attitudes, the attitude of resentments to those that have been instrumental at times not only in preventing those associations or affiliations of the entity in relationships to others. While these oft appear from the surface to have been purely selfish motives, or those that were prompted at times by the resentments on the part of others, if there will be the self-analyses of that which has prompted the activities of self, what has been given is evidenced - "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." And "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you again."
4. There was not (under the circumstances that would have arisen) any fault in self in not accepting the associations in those directions that were offered; for these would have brought those very things that the body-mind has turned from, in such ways as to have been less effective in the later associations and activities.
5. There have been affiliations with the more general labors that are offered through Government activities, that should be taken hold of, as we find - if the purposes and aims and desires of the entity are proper, and the resentments and the antagonisms are left out. For these, we find, will bring those associations and connections that will bring about that which will be the most helpful in the experiences

of the entity. Not only will such an activity in the present offer temporary reliefs from the emergencies in the financial and the material associations and surroundings, but will lead to and bring about those of a more permanent nature - in not only the material but the filial, and those activities where the greater service may be found.
6. We would seek, then, through this agency for the immediate change necessary.
7. We would be WARNED respecting riding, driving, walking, over railroad crossings; for these are in adverse relationships to the entity during the next three to four months. Be very mindful of this, for ye will either be in, or experience, or witness, some very sad happenings in this direction. [See 771-1, Par. R1. 8/35 A.R.E. Bulletin used this happening with others under the heading, UNUSUAL INCIDENTS.]
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Do you refer to the T.V.A. as being the correct channel to go through? (A) The Government associations, with which the body has been associated and HAS associations and connections! Yes, this is a part - but leads from this later, as indicated.
10. (Q) For just what type of work am I best fitted, and how may I go about to obtain it? (A) As indicated, this association will lead to those activities that have to do with groups more in the homes and THEIR associations, affiliation and relationships to a GENERAL public. The home and the home environs of any nature are those channels that offer not only the greater activity but that will be the most helpful in the preparation and in the assistance of relationships in this direction. As in the supervision of portions of the home life, and the like. Not as a teacher, but rather as an instructor in various channels of activities; as would be the Home Work, the Canning Work, the work of that nature which is fostered by Government activities in relationships either with that or the home as related to the preventatives in certain directions, see?
11. (Q) Is there any further advice or guidance that would be given me at this time? (A) Beware in those directions as indicated. Take from self the attitudes that have been indicated. Add rather that attitude of letting the life within self be of such a temperament, of such a nature, that though the heart and mind may be heavy, that which is shed out may show in self the relationships the body-self, the inner self, bears to the Creative Influences - and the joys that should come from

an inner self keeping itself in attune with the Christ principles in, and ruling, and guiding the life.
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
