2. Many are the changes as have come in this present experience in the lives of each. A great deal has been for the better understanding, the better relations and associations with selves, as well as with others. Little may be given other than the reminding each of that as has been given as respecting the conduct and relations with each and in same, that in others, keep in that way as has been outlined and well will be the outcome.

5. (Q) Should the body at this time attempt to reduce these glands known as the breast? (A) Only after the manner as has been given, for the irritation would cause too much of the secretions to be brought to the eliminations of system. Do not attempt to do so at present.

903-13 Page 2

11. (Q) Is the body doing the proper thing in completing the home at this time in the manner in which they are doing it? (A) Doing the proper thing, for in the environs of same come that which builds and molds into the life of each that which influences and makes for that of environmental forces for all that which cannot be had in any other way or manner. Remember well that illustration oft given that the mother wondered why her son loved the sea, when none for generations has seen or scarcely spoken of same. Yet in the study of the situation, there was found a print had been hung in the son's room of a sea-going vessel. GET THE LESSON!

13. (Q) Is the present nurse able to govern the child through this developing period? (A) For MANY, MANY moons here, and as given, not only capable, but one willing and one that is to be trusted in many ways and manners with the development of the life of this body. EXCEPTIONAL!
14. (Q) Last night, we had a group of people here to discuss the work of the forces which we appreciate so much. Did we approach this subject in the proper way and manner? (A) This must of necessity be governed by a general rather than an individual way and in the general or in the whole, MOST WONDERFUL were the contacts and the impressions made. Some may turn same to their own destruction. Some will make within their own selves that which will become blessings in their experience.
15. (Q) How can these two bodies help to enable these people to use it properly? (A) By word of mouth and by example!
16. (Q) What can [903] do specifically to aid the work now? (A) In making the contacts, in interesting and following up the interests created by such contacts to the points where
903-13 Page 3
individuals make personal application or use of that as is gained in the experience of those so contacted.
17. (Q) Can [2897], who was present last night, be of assistance to the work? (A) We haven't [2897] individually; only as a group. As a group it is not much. There must be some individual development.
18. (Q) As to the personal business affairs of [257], especially the medicine company [See 257-55 on 2/14/30] - are the forces in direct sympathy with the manner and the way that [257] attempts to make a success of this deal and the propositions for which he expects the results? (A) Has not the information given indicated such? Has there been any adverse criticism of the manner in which this has been conducted? Think not that there is not seen both that which may become detrimental or a blessing? Depend upon the application made of the knowledge as is taken or undertaken.
19. (Q) May the body, [257], request the forces as he does now to guide him during the next two weeks as to his work to further develop the closing of this matter, the Paris Medicine Deal? (A) This has been given and only will the body need to turn the introspective self to that as has been given for the proper understanding of same.
20. (Q) He was advised not to be over-anxious. Does that mean to quietly await the call from General McRoberts, or should he attempt to see the General himself? (A) There is often, as has been given respecting same, the diplomatic way to influence others in keeping in mind that in question without appearing to be over-anxious or willing to make concessions in any manner or direction. Wait - oft as has been given - "Wait and see the glory of the Lord", but also, as has been given - "Trust in the Lord and work like thunder!" see? There is, then, the consistency of the various situations and conditions as they arise in the applicability of just those truths that will guide or will hold before an individual necessary for the furthering or the carrying to a successful conclusion of any condition in hand. So apply self in this direction. Do not wait in the manner that - "I am through! I am waiting for the other fellow", but rather, wait in the manner of - "Well, as I can't get this, I will take less." See the difference? - but rather in the various situations and conditions, make it plausible, reasonable, possible, that in manners and ways the constant or occasional jogging the memory that there is still, "I am ready to carry out my part. When are the
903-13 Page 4
others ready?" [257]: We will try and follow the advice more closely.
21. (Q) Is it still the wishes of the forces that the General ONLY handle this matter with Zonite for the present time? (A) That as has been given - to be considered more by the General than the position of [257] - for still that the General must be the representative of [257] in the same way and manner as he is of himself or other interests, see?
22. (Q) As to the Sears Roebuck deal, is it advisable for [257] and his associate [4171] to go to Chicago during the first week of March? (A) There should be at that time some conclusions reached by those of Wood's interests and of Wood's own findings by the survey being made as respecting some conditions as have arisen, and would be well that the [word(s) missing] not attempt to drive definite bargains, but [word(s) missing] that out of the various discussions and varied manner of application in the various effects that will be created by the combine in such interests, then be well that this be considered.
