Time of Reading ... Bank, 3:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Texas. (Body and enquiring mind - questions regarding business associations and relations)
1. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [1097]. This we have had before. Many changes in the mental, physical, social and financial way, have come to this body since we had same here before, and as the body's NUMBERS would indicate, many changes are YET to come into the experience of the body, in the business, social, and financial manner. Changes of scenes will even be greater than they have in the experience the body has had since last we had same here. Applied in the correct way and manner, much may be accomplished by the body, the entity, through the experiences as come to same. While there may have come, and do come, disappointments in the material sense; yet will the body keep self in that same mental attitude that has so long influenced the body in its relationships to others, in that of being acting for others in so many varied respects, advising, counseling, aiding others to understand their relationships with their fellow man, the body will find these will be returned TO self in no uncertain way and manner, and there will come the peace and understanding that comes only from service, and in the applying of self and self's abilities to the strengthening of the purposes of life in the individuals whom the entity contacts. There will be, in the not too far distant future, opportunities in DIFFERENT channels. In the State in which the body at present labors, will recognize that service as has been rendered to same through the efforts of the body, and OFFER - through one of two channels - other propositions for the body. There, too, will come, from a distance, the offer of the position as comptroller, by an organization that is worthy of being considered. As has been indicated to the body, in larger fields of activity the body will find the opportunities for the advancements in the material, the financial, and in the business affairs. Ready for questions.

In staleness one finds the ability to USE

that as is known in any direction to become as a straw in the hand, and unfit, unuseful, in the battle of life. Life is a battle, in that each must put on the whole armor and be invulnerable to those LITTLE things that do so hinder; and let not self nor self-exultation become a STUMBLING block to thine endeavors. We are through.
