1. GC: You will have before you [1151], born February 12, 1889, in Brooklyn, N.Y., together with the information given this entity in his Life Reading under the date of April 22, 1936. Considering the talents and abilities of this entity, and the urges and connections developed with both individuals and groups which are finding expression in the present life, you will give such advice and counsel as will aid him in directing his endeavors into the fields of greatest possible expression and service. You will answer the questions which he has prepared relative to his work.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity now known as or called [1151], and that information which has been given regarding the entity's development and application of his abilities in the material planes.
3. As has been intimated, the experiences of the entity in its dealings with the activities of individuals and groups will come the more in line with that experience of the entity in its sojourn in the Roman and Palestine period.
4. As the entity has had, does have to do through the very activities with commercial carriers for the good of all peoples, the monetary relationships of groups, of corporations or of activities of such natures, these then become the greater part of the entity's activities in the present.
5. And those applications of self that allow for the greater service to the greater number of individuals or groups or corporations or of bodies of men, whether as to state, as to national or international relationships, or as to groups or specific orders, should be the channels wherein the activities should be carried on in the present for not only the greater good that may be accomplished in the experience of the entity for its own mental and soul development but for the manifestation of those tenets that have become and should become more and more a part of the prompting
1151-6 Page 2
influence and forces as direct the activities of the entity.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Shall I continue to serve the Standard Statistics Company in the capacity of consultant, or is it wiser for me to terminate my connections with the company? (A) As we would find, so long as the associations with the company or organization allow for activities of the entity in those directions as has been indicated whereunto the entity may give counsel or act in the capacity of counseling with groups for the greater benefit not individually but as of the whole, then the self should continue its service. If the policies or activities become such that it becomes rather class or individuals' aggrandizement or selfish motives, terminate.
8. (Q) Is my relationship to the Railroad Security Owners Association nearing its end, or will this lead into other fields and enlarged opportunities? (A) As we find there are the greater opportunities as must eventually arise or are arising from these associations. For while not in opposition to existent laws, but more and more as the Railroad activities become as an interlocking system and the problems that are presented in those directions arise to become as a universal or union of activity, these are to lend greater opportunities for the entity in the abilities to act in the capacity of the counsel to the very factors that have been of such a service to these organizations. Just as it should be as we find that these become more and more involved with the activities of the Government associations with same in their not interference but as their cooperative and coordinating activity of same. So do the activities of the entity become closer allied with the Government's associations in that direction. And this should be the field or the direction in which the activities are taken; not to rely upon group or individuals as associated with same but as of an allied interest for a greater service in a greater capacity with the least friction to the consumer or the employer and employee.
9. (Q) Should I encourage a wider relationship of a neutral nature with railroad labor? (A) As has been indicated, this may come from varied conditions that have arisen more as a combination in a wider but more in a Governmental relationship. Or closer allied to the office of the secretaries of labor.
10. (Q) Are there new opportunities arising for me in the railroad field of an income providing character?
1151-6 Page 3
(A) This becomes more and more apparent as there becomes a greater association with the Government.
11. (Q) What advice have you with relation to my connection with [1265] and the [1266] Rubber Company? (A) This as we find, as has been indicated, has been partially set in motion for interests of the rubber company, of [1265] and [1265]'s interests, for further consideration and less and less of stubbornness but more and more of not other than that it may be of a greater service. Thus we find the entity can and may act more and more in the capacity of becoming the go-between, or as a counsellor and director for the opposing interests that have existed between these individuals or their groups' associations.
12. (Q) Do you observe any destructive influence coming toward me in relation to the United States Government or is this now passed? (A) Rather as we find there is to become a closer alliance between the activities of the Government and its associations or relationships with the allied interests in which the entity has served; that makes for rather a closer association and not a destructive but rather a constructive association or growth.
13. (Q) Shall I continue to serve the ... Savings Bank as a Trustee? (A) This has its advantages and its disadvantages. So long as the body itself feels there is a real service being rendered that may more and more become of an international consideration, we would serve. If these are to become less of an international consideration, or more of local, we would dissuade from further or greater association.
14. (Q) Any general information that may be given the body at this time regarding the general fields of Railroad activities in relation to the Government? (A) As has been indicated, the policies of the Railroads and the Government must become more and more closely affiliated; not for groups or individuals but as protective forces for not only the investors but the workers as well. While this is not in keeping with the ideals or policies, and becomes antagonistic to the entity in the present, it will draw upon the abilities of the entity to work with the counsel with those in making such a coalition with the PROPER consideration of all things - this should be a part of the entity's job. Just as in comparison with same there were the activities of the entity in its association with the allied interests during the Palestine experience, the judging of the abilities of various groups for their contributions or for
1151-6 Page 4
their taxes. So as the entity's activities in the present are analyzed, it will be realized that the Railroads represent to the Government and the Government's interest and to individuals as well as investors, an opportunity for a service. But unless all things are taken into consideration, these may become hardships rather than such great helpful interests. Hence the necessity of the counsel of such a TRAINED and experienced entity in such coalitions that are destined (that's advisedly said) to become a part of the conditions in this country.
