Time of Reading 10:45 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Michigan. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks information, advice and guidance to his mental and material affairs, and welfare. You will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1634].
2. In giving advice and counsel regarding the dealings and relationships with others, we would give the entity these as a premise - on and from which reasoning may be drawn:
3. Know, in thy forming of policies and attitudes towards others, that there are immutable laws; and that what ye would give out - if ye would have any semblance of success, or a growth within thy own experience - must be constructive in its nature.
4. Also know that what ye sow, in mental, material and physical relationships, will be measured back to thee again.
5. This should be the basis of thy policies, of thy attitudes, of thy dealings with others.
6. Then, that as ye would prepare for distribution among thy fellow men must in itself have a place in bringing greater hope and help in the experience of the users of such.
7. There must be, naturally then, the same consideration given those who would act in the capacity as the distributors of such products.
8. Know that there are very, very few individuals who do not by nature respond to constructive thought, constructive application.
9. Then, have that policy to do unto others as ye would have others do to you. EXPECT that! LIVE that in thy dealings! And ye will find that He who is the Giver of all good and perfect gifts will bring to thy experience not only harmony and peace but greater opportunities, with material, social and financial success.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Regarding my contract with a distributor of my product in Chicago: Can you help me make a decision as to

the boy who manufactures for me, especially as to the honesty, loyalty and sincerity of the distributor in Chicago? (A) Here we have just the situation as has been indicated, that is to be a part of the policy. If there is the consideration given the distributor as well as he who is the manufacturer, the same as ye would have them give to thee, ye may expect, ye may be assured that there WILL be sincerity, honesty, integrity. For they should not be as ones who are working or laboring FOR but WITH thee, in thy desire, in thy purpose to be helpful, constructive in the experience of others! And with that attitude, that policy, that activity, ye will find these are trustworthy.
12. (Q) Does this distributor intend to drop my contract if I do not grant his demands? (A) There has been the consideration of such, but if there is not animosity nor hate nor dislike nor distrust allowed to enter in, but the same consideration for each of these as ye would have them give to thee - then ye may expect proper consideration in return. Talk it over! Be honest with self, be honest with them - and they will be honest with thee!
13. (Q) Has he any intentions of merely finding fault as an excuse for severing business relationship and starting to manufacture a similar product? (A) As has been indicated.
14. (Q) Can you tell me whether this salesman [...] has actually contacted a competitor in Cleveland and tried to sell my business secrets there? (A) We do not find it so. There has been such used as a means for obtaining what is desired by him - a more equitable association or connection; but if the policies and activities are in the manner indicated, we find that an equitable and an honest consideration will be given self and self's purposes. If thy purposes are ALONE for self-aggrandizement, the gaining for self only of a monetary return, then ye may find that others will consider same in the same manner - and act in the same manner!
15. (Q) Have you any further advice for me concerning proper handling of this matter? (A) If there will a careful analysis - of self, self's purpose - as in relationship to those to whom benefits are supposed to, or are to accrue; and then all of these taken into consideration in the same way and manner as indicated,

we will find the better conclusions coming into thy experience. Remember, ye ARE indeed thy brother's keeper!
