Time of Reading 10:40 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Syracuse, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [1931], Syracuse, N.Y., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to best procedure in preparing for and carrying out his life and work, as outlined in his Life Reading of June 23, 1939. You will answer the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1931]; this we have had before.
3. In giving counsel or advice, many conditions that have arisen, that may arise in the experience of the body must be taken into consideration.
4. Owing to circumstances that has arisen - early in the program of the entity there should be the enlistment in the defense of the country. This would be rather in keeping with those studies that are to be in the conservation, and thus a defense for the future of this land.
5. Hence in those departments, either in the ambulance corp., the medical portion, or that as related to the quartermaster, or any phase in which there is the conservation of life itself, of the abilities of individuals to be supplied to give their best - these should be the channels, then that the body would engage in.
6. For, there will be just as much needs when there is peace again for the study and the application of conservation in forest, in land, in even nature's storehouse of every nature.
7. Then, in the services to thy country, let these be in keeping with that - conservation of life, of purpose, of activity to enable the ideal to be carried on. For, keep that ideal, ever, to make the land, the conditions, the mind of man nearer to that purpose which a Creative Force has meant, does give man's opportunity for being.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) When would you advise this enlistment? (A) At the end of this term, at least; or by early January,
1931-3 Page 2
or latter week of December. Or when such application can be in the direction as may be chosen by the body.
10. (Q) In what activity may I progress and find contentment in the present? (A) As has been indicated.
11. (Q) With my present knowledge, is there any position which I might fill? (A) As has been indicated.
12. (Q) After this world crisis, what will be the status of conservation and forestry? (A) As just indicated, there will be as great or greater needs for such in every phase of man's experience, as there has been. And all phases of such will be considered. Thus offering the entity the opportunity for still carrying on in those directions.
13. (Q) Where may I find the stone lapis lazuli or lapis linguis? (A) This is an exuding of copper. Either in the copper mines of the southwest, or about Superior, or in Montana.
14. (Q) Any other advice at this time? (A) Keep those principles first and foremost in the activity - conservation of life, of purpose, of hope - in the minds of men, thy fellow men. For, thou ART thy brother's keeper. So in ALL thy activities keep that first in thy principle of application of abilities, of opportunities, of purpose.
15. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for Mother) Copy to Ass'n file [Ques. answered without being asked: Is the Army advisable at this time?] e?]
