Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ill. (Body and enquiring mind, together with the information given this entity in previous readings through this channel, especially as related to [1265] and [1266] and also [1151]'s other interests and affairs. Questions.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [1151], together with the information that has been given respecting individuals, individuals' associations and activities.
2. In giving first some consideration of that which has arisen in the mind of [1151], respecting the information as to what would be, or SHOULD be, as was given, the attitudes of individuals in their relationships respecting matters in which there have been and are still some differences of opinions:
3. The approach to these, remember, has been from that angle of what would be the CONSTRUCTIVE experience for each of these individuals. As to whether these individuals would react in the exact way and manner depends upon the INDIVIDUAL. But that as has been indicated IS that which would bring into the experience of each the corrective and creative influences in the experience.
4. For the way is ever set for man's relationships with his fellowman; for it (the relation) to become a manifestation of the spirit of truth or that of ego or self-satisfaction.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) In my last reading it was stated that the entity, [1266], must let go, give in, as well as the entity, [1265], with respect to the litigation now going on between them. Would you kindly designate in what particulars the entity, [1266], should "give in, let go?" (A) There have been and are still the disputed interests as to what or who should be the guiding or controlling factor in that as the litigation is concerning. It becomes then necessary that each of these "give in, let go," not only for their own protection but for others that

have an interest in same, and also because of that which would be constructive in the experience of each - and not each remain domineering to the extent of "rule or ruin." For, unless there are concessions in these directions, it must be a ruination in many ways. For it produces animosities, disturbing influences in which there are the pessimisms of each expressed rather than optimisms.
7. (Q) In what particulars should the entity, [1265], "give in, let go?" (A) In the same way and manner. These have been the disputed points, as to WHO is to control.
8. (Q) Is the entity, [1265], honor bound to turn over this ... Rubber stock to the entity, [1266]? (A) This is a disputed point also, but, as we find, this must be determined within the mental self of each of these, taking that into consideration which is ideal not only from the material angle. And the distrust that is coming into the mind of each must be removed, if the better or the best would come for each. And that is only done by a mental attitude of each.
9. (Q) Should the entity, [1151], take aggressive steps to help settle the case before trial in the court, or should he wait to be called upon? (A) As we find, rather than making the steps so aggressive it would be well to point out - for [1151] to point out - to each - the necessity of their becoming in the attitude of showing the fruits of the spirit; especially in that they each have demonstrated, and do in so many of their relationships demonstrate other phases of brotherly love, patience and kindness. Yet neither is allowing self and self's determination to be gotten out of the way. Point this out, and then let it rest with them.
10. (Q) Is it better to let the case go to trial? (A) Never better that they either are in the position of letting others determine that which should be determined in their own consciousnesses.
11. (Q) Are there other retainers of a substantial nature coming to the entity, [1151], in the next few months? (A) These, as we find, depend upon the attitudes of individuals. These then are questions not only in the minds of the individuals but as rather a mass activity of a GROUP of individuals. As we would say, as we find, from the intuitive forces, these are DUE - and there will be modes for such to be materialized.

12. (Q) Is it wise for the entity, [1151], to reduce his efforts with relation to the Railroad Security Owners, or should he give up this retainer? (A) We would not give up the retainer. There has been too great a good accomplished for the many. To be sure, these appear upon the face of them as efforts expended without due consideration being taken by all that are benefited. But questions have arisen in the minds of some. To give up would be to make those questions (in the minds of some) become active influences in other directions that would not be well for any.
13. (Q) What is the trouble with relation to the lack of appreciation on the part of several members of the Executive Committee of the Railroad Security Owners, which retains the entity, [1151], for railroad work; and is there anything the entity, [1151] can do to rectify their apparent lack of cooperation and appreciation? (A) As has just been indicated, there are some questions as to the associations of the entity with heads of departments in which the entity has worked and does work. Hence, as has been indicated, it is well that these be worked out.
14. (Q) Is there anything the entity can do to rectify their apparent lack of cooperation and appreciation? (A) Show more definitely, in a concrete manner, what would be the outcome without the efforts of [1151] that have been expended in the manners in which the services have gone. These to be sure come back to those same principles of differences. Let each - and signify in speech and in activity - "Ye are thy brother's keeper."
15. (Q) Please give any further advice that would be of help in the affairs of [1151]. (A) Keep that attitude of service. For, as has been given, the ideals, the purposes of the entity are beyond reproach. Be not weary nor disappointed in well-doing; for God is not mocked and whatsoever a man soweth that he must also reap. KNOW that with the Lord on thy side, no matter be there thousands upon thousands against thee they cannot stand in the exercising of thy conscience toward thy relationships with thy Maker - and these are only expressed in the relationships to the fellowman!
