Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Kentucky. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks information, advice and guidance as to his mental, material and spiritual welfare, to help him get straightened out and proceed with his development in the way he should. Ques.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1089]; this we have had before; together with the advice, the counsel that has been given the entity through these channels; and the manner in which the entity has attempted to apply such in the experience.
2. As has been indicated oft, the entity becomes too easily discouraged; allowing the things and conditions of the moment to become superlative in the desires and the wishes; and lets then that inclination for such to become paramount to everything else in the experience.
3. These then bring about, with the general experiences that have become and are a part of the entity as a whole, periods when the entity becomes oppressed; and begins to condemn self; FORGETTING that in condemning self there is that giving of expression which belittles the divine within.
4. To be sure, circumstances and environs would not for the moment appear to be materially consistent with the advice or counsel that might be given - in some directions; but when the physical conditions are taken into consideration and all of those inclinations that have just been pointed out, WE would advise that the body - as soon as possible - seek a companion, ASSUME the obligations of such.
5. Thus the sex life as well as the imaginative and the duties that go with such a union, that to the entity carries and will carry the obligations of every nature, will be more in keeping with that which will build the better conditions in an economic, in a mental, in a spiritual manner in the

experience.
6. This, to be sure, will require that there be at least partially the economic security, by the entity engaging in direct activities from which remuneration may be expected in at least a way and manner as to make for the assurance for the obligations thus taken on by such activities.
7. These as we find are in keeping with those things that will be, all things considered, the better circumstances in the experience of the entity in the present.
8. As to what channels, as to what directions - as to what activities the seeking of employment may take, KEEP that ye HAVE in HAND! until there is the way opened, by the preparation of self in the directions that will open with assurances that will come by the GROWTH of self in taking on responsibilities, DOING those things that are known to be in keeping with the better forces for all concerned.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Considering my present conditions financial and otherwise what should be my best move for development? (A) As has just been indicated, taking all into consideration, the marriage and the obligations - even under the economic conditions - WILL bring about more stability, more activity in the correct lines than in any channel in the present.
11. (Q) Would it be well for this entity, [1089], to become affiliated with the Health Home Remedies Corp.? (A) This is not well, as there is not sufficient economic security for the assurance necessary to the entity for the activity.
12. (Q) What field of healing should I enter? (A) As has been indicated again and again, these are MENTAL - NOT material!
13. (Q) Is there any infection in my blood or in my lungs? (A) No.
14. (Q) If there is no conflict in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the belief in reincarnation, why is it that I cannot find a coordination between the two? (A) This depends, to be sure, upon the outlook. If this is not in keeping with that which answers within self, then reject any that would make for a difference in thy religious beliefs or tenets. They ARE the same. Read and study for self what Jesus said about same.
15. (Q) What method is best suited for this entity in
1089-8 Page 3
preparing for periods of meditation? (A) PURIFY self; as in ANY manner that is in keeping with that as would to the mental self separate self from WORLDLY things. Enter in thy inner chamber, thine own conscience, and there pray in secret to the Father that heareth in secret; and He will answer thee openly.
16. (Q) Any further advice for the entity at this time? (A) Work and labor whereunto thou hast been called into service for thy Lord, thy Master; knowing that as has so oft been given, as ye do it to the least of thy brethren ye do it to thy Lord and thy God. It is the little things that make up the life's experience, the associations. Be true to self, self-consciousness, and ye will not be false to others.
