Time of Reading The Hotel ..., 11:10 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Calif. (Entity, who seeks a Check Life reading covering her immediate problems and inquiries. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:)
1. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [1438]; these in part we have had before.
2. As we find, as has been indicated, from many angles of the associations, as well as for the health of the body, there has been and there would be a better surrounding in San Antonio than in California; especially for self physically and for the associations of the son, and the activities of same.
3. However, if the body chooses to do otherwise, then the conditions that arise from same - if they seem more expedient in such surroundings as chosen - would be acted upon and must then be a consideration by the body itself, and not then seek to JUSTIFY self from the information which has been given from here!
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Will my son be able to find a job? (A) That depends upon the application of the son; and much of the attitude of self as in relationships to same. For these are ever the laws of cause and effect, the laws of supply and demand, the laws of the activities of associations of individuals either acting from the angle of service for service, or service through ingratiation or whatnot. These are contingent upon applications of the individual's abilities in directions of associations with others. These then become dependent. Possible, but whether the application is to be made depends upon the individual.
6. (Q) Will there be advisable or a desirable development at ... [my estate in N.Y.] next spring? (A) This again is contingent upon the activities of those that have indicated their desire to apply self in the direction of carrying forward the policies and activities
1438-3 Page 2
that have been considered. As we find, if agreements are reached with those who have CONSIDERED the activities, AND their associates, there will be developments worthwhile.
7. (Q) Will Mr. [165] cooperate with it? (A) The associations and cooperations may be had; this contingent, to be sure upon circumstances in the activities of [165] in other fields as well as those abilities to carry on. But through the ASSOCIATIONS of [165] AND their activities, these may be carried forward.
8. (Q) Was Mr. [165] connected with this entity in a former earth life? (A) These should be drawn from the information that has been given each respecting their activities in the various phases of experience in earthly existences. These will be drawn from there. These may be added here.
9. (Q) What is meant by the "madness" referred to in my Life reading? Is this in reference to myself or family or friends? (A) The allowing of self to at times be overcome by hurts, disappointments; so as to create within the experience of self that which is as madness to the mental - yea, to the spiritual self. And it has to do with the ATTITUDE of self in relations to the family, and oft extending to friends; and has at times, as has been indicated, made for experiences that have become very disturbing to the body, [1438].
10. (Q) Any further advice to this body at this time? (A) Rather in the spiritual life and self, turn to the divine WITHIN! Know that the Creative Forces are within the SELF, and these when applied in the mental and spiritual self become as the overflowing of that love which has been promised by the Father in the Son, that peace and harmony reign within. And until self can find, and does awake to the realization of that union of desire, of love within the self, and KNOWS such a peace, it certainly CANNOT shed it on others! It must then first be found within self.
