Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Body and enquiring mind, on train between Springfield and N.Y., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to his life and work. Ques.)
1. EC: We have the enquiring mind, [1210]; this in a manner we have had before.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) On the MS that I have, is the proposed name "An Outline for Living" o.k., and should such a book be rewritten from the last part of present MS? (A) An Outline for Living - yes, o.k. And as we find, this may be compiled from the present MS. As has been indicated and as should be maintained by the body, it is not the proof, not the sensational, but the proof and the sensation should be in or a part of the experience of each individual. From portions of this MS it may be gained in living any experience that may be called worth while at all, until there is the consciousness in the experience of the individual that the very act of living is the expression of the Creative Forces or God, and thus what the individual does with its opportunities of making that expression in line with his ideal or concept of the God he would worship - it isn't worth while.
4. (Q) If so, where should it be marketed - is Soskin the logical man? (A) If this is properly presented, as we find Soskin is very good. Or it may be taken by Brice & Company - or published abroad.
5. (Q) Should I continue radio talks in Springfield? (A) As indicated, if they are made popular or popularized. Not so much by that as may be history of individual experiences but popularize them as to how individuals may

experience, if they are seeking constructively within themselves. We would continue.
6. (Q) Who are the seekers referred to and how reach them? (A) Seekers are those, as referred to - so many hundreds that are discouraged from what they know not, in the dogmatisms of this or that doctrine, cism or ism, and will be reached if the popularizing of same is made to mean YOU - and YOU - and Y O U! And from same there should be those abilities for the body, the entity, for [1210] to make more and more of a distribution of MS, pamphlets and such sold to those, the listeners, as well as to make same more worth while to others. Insist on their seeking their own problems to be understood. [GD's note: Above definition of "seekers" noted in 254-91 Reports.]
7. (Q) Is the proposed connection with Sieber for lectures the proper thing? (A) This may be or it may not be. This depends upon the very type, the very nature of the lectures themselves. As we find through this channel, though, proper connections would come - rather than these being the final or that as may be said to be the last in same. Consequently in making the connection, do not let it tie self for too great a period but rather as to that of give and take in same.
8. (Q) Just how should it be handled? (A) As just indicated, it should be - the success of the association depending upon the preparations for the presenting of that - and that be as equal basis, see, one dependent upon the other.
9. (Q) Is my thought regarding finances for Mind and Body-Clinic [under direction of Dr. E. S. Cowles, noted psychiatrist, a proper one, and how should it be handled? (A) As we find in the present, this would rather need a great deal of cleansing or a great deal more of preparations, but the thought is well - but it would need working out a great deal and a great deal of consideration given to the effect that same would have upon others. The thought is good but it will need dressing up a great deal.
10. (Q) Is there any of my material marketable now, and if so where? (A) As we would find, in the manner of the presentations from the programs, in references as may be made, these would be made for a great enlarged distribution that would mean a

substantial income for the body. Or these may be presented or prepared so that in the presenting of the lectures, much of the material may be ready for distribution through the agencies - as this presents itself at the various meetings.
11. (Q) What is the best bread and butter project for me at the moment? (A) As has been indicated, through the inference from the radio presentations and preparations of leaflets, folders, data, booklets, for the lecture courses.
12. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Keep more to constructive experiences, and not that the individual is to have such an one as Dick, Tom or Harry to be presented in this, that form or manner, but that as indeed was given, "My Spirit beareth witness with thy spirit." Then the concept that the very act of living and association is the expression of the Creative Force or Energy called God. Keep these before self as well as others. For man may only sow, but the increase - materially, mentally - is the gift of the Creative Forces or God. Consequently, in the experience of each individual - as ye sow, so ye reap.
