Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [993], present in this room, in regard to her mental, spiritual and material affairs. You will answer the questions she submits, as I ask them, regarding all of these, also her former incarnations in the earth's plane and their influence in the present:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [993]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Please give me counsel concerning my brother Walter, who is in my care at present, and as to how I can best carry on. (A) That there has been and still is a great anxiety as respecting brother's condition in the physical, as well as in the material - these are being met very beautifully. Just remember those promises that are so sure, "Be not overcome, but overcome evil with good - In my Father's house are many mansions - I go to prepare a place, that where I am there ye may be also," that there were individual applications of these in such measures that many of those things were given the peoples or entities through the day that had to do with the keeping these in the direct manner of this activity. While trials, while anxieties come, keep the faith in Him. [GD's note: Her brother died on 7/8/43; she had cared for him since 8/42.]
5. (Q) If conditions become such that it will be necessary for me to enter war work, what field of activity should I seek to enter? (A) Wherever thy feelings approach the greater usefulness to the service of the country, to the glory of the country, with duty and honor to the recipient of such activities.
6. (Q) Please advise me concerning our firm, The ... Iron Works, which is now in a state of liquidation. What further steps should be taken to secure the best results? (A) Keep constantly in at least the awarenesses of the changes that are gradually and decidedly turning those
993-7 Page 2
things respecting the application of these in the experiences of the self. Don't miss that opportunity! While changes are being wrought, those activities where there may be CONSTRUCTIVE ideas gained from the varied activities in which the ... Iron Works has been engaged, these will terminate in ways and means in which greater help and blessings will come to others.
7. (Q) Should we seek to get in touch with any particular person, or persons? (A) These as we find should be taken to the general outlet that controls such.
8. (Q) Who would such be? (A) Any of those who control products that are a part of the effort of this company.
9. (Q) Is it indicated that the entity whom I was to have met on the 17th of August 1929 will still be interested in the ... Iron Works? If so, how can I get in touch with him (as it was indicated that I had met or knew of this entity)? (A) As we find, this still may be a possibility. As to how to get in touch - keep in that way of keeping the way OPEN, and keep asking. Keep declaring it, and be sincere in, "Not my will but Thine be done." This should bring about - first in the mind, and then in the actuality - those helpful forces in this body.
10. (Q) Is [195] of Dayton, Ohio, the individual referred to? (A) [195] may be the individual person who may manifest the spiritual truth.
11. (Q) How should I approach him? (A) By letter, or direct.
12. (Q) Is that what was meant by saying it would become the Eagle Company? (A) This may be very possible. If this had been passed some time ago, some changes might already have been wrought.
13. (Q) Is it too late now? (A) We do not find it so.
14. (Q) In my Check Life Rdg. of Feb. 19, 1941 [993-5], it was given that I was among those who sought to know something of the heart and the experience of the Mother of Jesus. Could some of that Mother's experiences be given me at this time? (A) These should come more directly as a part of an individual experience. While these may be indicated, only that as may keep the individual closer in communion with Him would be given - or has been given.
15. (Q) Why have I been so conscious of her presence recently? (A) The fear and the doubt, and the anxiety naturally brings a feeling of the closeness of those also anxious
993-7 Page 3
respecting the entity and its activity.
16. (Q) Please give that which was heard and spoken with the Master, by me, on the way to Calvary? (A) "My daughter, be of good cheer. Be not afraid - I have overcome the world. It must indeeds be that offences shall come. Woe unto him by whom they come."
17. (Q) Regarding the message given by the Master in Rdg. [993-3] of Oct. 21, 1931, "Come, mine daughter, mine sister." Does this mean that I had been His daughter in another incarnation, just as I was His sister in the Persian period? (A) This indicates rather, as He gave, "Who is my sister, who is my mother, who is my brother? He that doeth the will of my Father, the same is my mother, my brother, my sister."
18. (Q) Might I secure at this time a message from the Master, Jesus? (A) This should come more direct within self. Open the door that He may enter. As has been so well indicated, not only in and from the scientific angle but from the mental, as well as from the experiences of many - as ye apply thyself in daily service, ye attune thyself to that Christ-Consciousness which He attained in the last days of the physical entity in the earth. As there comes, then, the knowledge of that ye attempt being well done, and in keeping with those purposes He set up, He walks and talks with thee oft.
19. (Q) Am I correct in feeling that we should develop to the point where we do not have to suffer illness before dying, but should be able to keep a healthy body and just pass out of it when we have finished our work here? (A) This is an ideal, an idea. Those who apply may attain. Those who have the price to pay, those who must meet in their application of their tenets and truths in self, must still bear their cross. That each entity must and will some day attain to the ability to be conscious of physical death without the physical suffering is true, but the day - to most - is far, too far away. [Miss [993] died 2/29/56 with Hodgkins' Disease (cancer of the lymph) after an illness of 20 months.]
20. (Q) Should we seek to know that which was learned in each of the seven stations in the Temple Beautiful? If so, how should I start? (A) These were a part of an experience, in the attempt of an individual entity to indicate that which came about - even in the period of the day of the Master on the Cross. These should be attained the more in study, then, of the various stages through which HE passed. For He is the WHOLE way. That period of experience was as a lesson, as a
993-7 Page 4
beginning. These may be undertaken, then, rather as from Him - in whom you have put, in whom you would put, thy entire trust.
21. (Q) Please explain why certain individuals are so affected by my eyes; feeling as if my eyes look right through them. (I refer specifically to [587] and [2982], who were both in the Temple Beautiful.) Is there some reason for this because of our Egyptian association? (A) The Egyptian association began such, but it is the attaining by self of the oneness, an at-oneness with the purposes for the activities in the spiritual life. As has been the warning to the entity, do not too oft rely upon the FORMULA rather than the result obtained. For, as indicated, if there is that ability attained in self to arouse in others the consciousness of the needs of knowing something that the entity is aware of, and it is considered from an idea or the standpoint of the act, rather than that help ye may give, ye may make even thine abilities stumblingblocks to others. But rather may it be (when such is observed) that the activity of the entity, the look, is as a rebuke to others; to bring, to give, to indicate peace in the soul. For, remember, it should become even as He gave - which may well apply as thy message from Him now, today: "It must indeeds be that offences come - Woe unto them by whom they come. I have overcome the world." Peace be with thee - remain with thee - remain with thee - as ye seek the Master's face. For He abideth with them who love His coming; not the when, not the where, but the presence of that consciousness of the abiding faith, abiding presence of the Christ as manifested in Jesus.
22. (Q) Have [69] and I been associated in the past, and in what relationship? (A) In Egypt and in Persia we find quite a varying experience. In Persia, [69], called in the present, taught the entity - and didn't fail to spank either! In Egypt we find a varied experience. For, there - as in the Temple - deferences arose; yet these were the beginnings, the unfoldings, as have so oft been indicated. Ye are meeting these in the present. Do so in Him, not in a formula, not in a hope only, but in a fact, "as ye do it unto one another, as ye speak of, as ye bless, as ye curse, as ye hate, as ye love, ye do it to thy Maker."
23. We are through.
