Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks information, advice and guidance as to his material affairs and the problems which confront him at this time. Ques.)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1497]. In manners, this we have had before.

2. Considering the problems which in the present confront the body, the first warnings would be:

3. While there is being experienced great disappointment in the character, in the unappreciative manner in which the self is being treated at this time, do not allow this to cause or make such anxiety - or such resentment - as to cause the self to do in ANY manner that which it will regret.

4. Weigh well all of the conditions which have brought and do bring about the existent conditions, before there is the attempt to expose those who have been unmindful of their obligations to others - as well as the courtesy and obligation to self.

5. But DO in this matter the way you would like to be done by, if the conditions were reversed.

6. To be sure, there must be the protection to those who through thy endeavor, thy activity, have invested in the efforts that were being counselled or guided by the self. This is as ye would have it done.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Shall I follow my desires and resign from the company at this time? (A) Owing to the circumstances, and the lack of taking the advice that has been given and intimated, it becomes rather an untenable consideration for the self to be renegated to a minor position or capacity; also for the attempt to be made to cause self to become a part of the disparaging conditions which have brought much of these to pass. Then as we find, it would be the more advisable for the self to resign.

9. (Q) Does the consulting engineering field offer me the way to material welfare of family and self, as well as

toward goals of usefulness indicated in previous Readings? (A) This as we find offers channels through which there may be the maintaining of self in EVERY phase of its experience or development, not only for the duties and obligations toward family but for the abilities in those directions or channels wherein or through which the entity may become more closely affiliated with foreign relationships, foreign activities; and to make for the bonds of peace and unity in fields of service in that direction. But this will require that there be made known more in those fields of activity the willingness of the entity to serve state, government and other associate activities, see?

10. (Q) Any other advice along this line? (A) This as has been indicated is as we find for the present.

11. (Q) Shall I now expose the conditions which have led up to this event? (A) As has been indicated, this should be given due consideration. But there should be the protection - with consideration from every angle; and let the Rule - the Golden Rule - be the guide. Do not become panicky; do not become overanxious, but let this experience be rather used as stepping-stones to greater opportunities - and never a stumblingblock!

12. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
