Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ga. (Body and enquiring mind, now living in ..., Ga., and her Life Rdg. given thru these sources on June 11, 1927. You will give a Check Life Rdg. for her and answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them.)
1. EC: Yes. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) To be an exponent of Astrology, is this my proper Life work? (A) This is indicated at least as being a part of the Life's work. Writing on such subjects and aiding others in their spiritual and mental development should be a portion of, or may be combined with this as, a life's work.
3. (Q) I dislike immensely the commercializing of my astrological knowledge; is there any way I could contact the proper parties and funds so that I could give my whole time to research astrology? (A) Only through the making of contacts where this might be used as a feature, or from the radio, or some such means for the immediate commercializing of the activity to supply - through such an association - sufficient amount. This may be either with the manufactures of perfumes or toilet articles - the making for the association towards those tendencies in that direction; or it may be an association in such ways and manners as to make for the ABILITIES of the body to carry on in such research work.
4. (Q) Who is the best publishing firm to bring out my book on "Astrological World Cycles and Ages"? (A) This would be found to be better from some of the publishers in England first, rather than America; though - as we find - it may be carried through the American representative of the Henry Holt Company.
5. (Q) My original Life Rdg. stated that "in the 34th year... the entity will be among those of royalty". I am now 34. What did this statement about royalty mean? (A) That there should be those associations by the traveling, or the journeyings in the various associations,

as to bring this about.
6. (Q) Should I attempt to interest wealthy people in founding an Astrological Research Institute? If so, what people? (A) As we find, this is not as yet the proper time when this interest may be aroused sufficiently; but must be a component part of a unified movement on such subjects - which should be BEGUN, and may be begun by this body, and then made a part of the entity's life work in research.
7. (Q) Should I plan on a trip to India within the next few years? (A) In the next three to four years this should become a part of the whole activity, as indicated above that there is the time now for the interesting of those who will make for a more unification of all the questionable researches into the varied activities. This may be done, or begun, through the manner that has been indicated.
8. (Q) My Life Rdg. stated that "between the 33rd and and 43rd years...come the greater changes, the greater eccentricity of change, more unusual than would be ordinary in an individual life". (A) This hasn't been changed, as we find, and will come in the developments and the activities of the entity in relationships to those things that are being made a part of the association of the entity, as yet.
9. (Q) Just what did this mean? (A) Greater changes in all of the associations, all of the activities, all of the EFFORTS, and those fields of activity in which the entity would be engaged.
10. (Q) My Life Rdg. states "As to that of the weakness of the entity, this is along those lines of the misunderstanding of others as respecting the entity's intent and purpose, whether as toward friend or foe." I do not understand this meaning. (A) As indicated, whether in friendships, foes or acquaintances, there has been and is that within the manner and mien of the entity which tends to cause or to produce misunderstandings. ANALYZE self for a second, with its associations whether in the purely material, the research, the activities, the printer, the baker, the candlestick maker or the meat man - and you'll see!
11. (Q) What is my worst fault? Am I too retiring and reclusive? (A) This may not be said to be a fault. But the worse fault is that just given.
12. (Q) Should I take up the study of music - piano - again in order to help my daughter in her musical education? (A) This would be very good.
13. (Q) Does any danger threaten me at any time in life from the man to whom I was formerly engaged to be married?
778-2 Page 3
(A) We do not find it so.
14. (Q) Is there any definite financial future for me in writing on astrological and philosophic subjects? (A) Dependent upon those activities in the directions as indicated, and in the writings in relationships to those combinations that may come from such an association. In broadcast, see?
