Time of Reading 11:30 to 12:10 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. North Carolina.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [1992], born November 11, 1900, in Denver, Colorado, who now seeks information, advice and guidance as to her life and work, so that she may make practical the information which has been given her through this channel. You will answer the questions, as I ask them, regarding her work, past associations and their influence in the present:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1992]; the information which has been given regarding the life, the associations and activities.
3. In analyzing the life's work, we find in the present very unusual aspects of same; the insignias or emblems are not broken, but columns - hence indicating building in the experiences of others that as must stabilize their lives.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Regarding the publication advised in Nov. 1940, is it necessary to complete it by this fall? (A) It should be better understood by seekers of truth regarding time and space as related to conditions in individuals' lives. As is at times conceived by the mental attitudes of individuals, that which is to come into materialization - as a book, a manuscript, or even a service as related to others must pass through its NATURAL laws; or there ARE laws governing same that are ever uniform. An idea, an IDEAL, first has its spiritual inception, then its mental conceiving, and then the physical reactions that make or bring same into materialization. As to the time of this publication, then - there must be at least the mental concept fully analyzed, completed; for the spiritual concept is a part of the entity.
1992-4 Page 2
Then, it may be a little later; but don't delay too long.
6. (Q) What direction should it take? Should it come out as a textbook for school teachers, or should it be done with the more creative approach? Please advise. (A) WE would give that it be done with the more CREATIVE approach; but it will be accepted AS a textbook, even in some of the larger universities.
7. (Q) What publisher shall I try? (A) Those publishers of schools, as well as of the regular publications that are of the better sort. Holt, Revell and Knopf should be considered.
8. (Q) Would collaboration with anyone be advisable? (A) As we find, no. FIRST present that as of thy OWN concept. Then in the ANALYZING of same, if there is the need or the desire - because of the lack of clarification, to self - consider some collaboration.
9. (Q) Should I work with Otto Meissner? (A) Very well, but DO NOT work with Otto Meissner until completed in the mental self and ready for, or being, transposed.
10. (Q) Regarding my work: Should I continue private music teaching, go into the ..., or give extension courses through the university? Which is the best field of development? Should I give up the private work which I've been doing several years and go into the ... school system this fall? (A) As the entity has done and must do creative work, as has been indicated, that must be of a sure foundation, why limit self to other set curriculums? We would keep the private work; and when advisable, practical or possible, do other extension work.
11. (Q) Can I go on in the ... School as planned this year? (A) Can go on.
12. (Q) Give up my private work? (A) We would not give up the private work.
13. (Q) Can I carry both? (A) Of course, it would be necessary that there be a curtailment in the AMOUNT of the private work - naturally; but we would carry both.
14. (Q) Would Mildred Hendricks be a good assistant for private work? (A) We would rather see the life experience or record, before giving advice for such a needed condition here.
15. (Q) Do you feel that I must teach in the ... school, since I have given my word? (A) As indicated, this may be very well; but do not give up
1992-4 Page 3
the private work entirely. Let this come, because it is more creative than the work CAN be in the ... or ANY regular curriculum activity.
16. (Q) Shall I study under Carson Ryan? (A) Study under Carson Ryan.
17. (Q) Would there be a publication field for my collection of children's original songs? (A) There IS most assuredly a publication field, and these would be sought; especially in the schools that are the more "up to date" as might be called. THIS we would consider with [2174].
18. (Q) What publisher would be advised? (A) We would collaborate here with this, or work together; and we will find there are already channels open for same, - rather than saying this or that individual publisher. Go through these same connections or channels for such.
19. (Q) Is there any chance of selling the victrola records made last year? If so, would Columbia, Victor or another concern be best? (A) As we find, the Columbia would be the more considerate of such, but the Universal will be as those collaborating - or cooperating, as they do, with the Columbia.
20. (Q) Should I work in the field of mental hygiene in connection with music? (A) As this is a portion of the whole activity, or there are the needs for the basic consideration of same, it would be WELL.
21. (Q) Shall I have Bill Perry come in for testing? or should I find another approach? (A) As WE find, Bill Perry would be very well; and until there would be other needs, we would keep this connection.
22. (Q) What would be the best field of activity next summer? Shall I stay in ... or shall I go elsewhere? (A) This is rather in advance; but as we find it would be better to go elsewhere. Whether this would be in a CAMP activity or in the extension programs in other schools, will depend upon the effect physically and mentally - that the program for the present season has upon the body.
23. (Q) Should I work with Mr. Zanzig? (A) As we find, as the choice is made in the activities, this will bring about closer associations or those repellent conditions as in relationship to Mr. Zanzig. However, we find there ARE to be some activities which will cause or bring about close associations, at least for a time.
24. (Q) Will that be next summer? (A) This is after some service or some work. Hence it
1992-4 Page 4
should be next summer, then, or next fall.
25. (Q) Will I go to the Berkshire Festival to teach next summer? (A) If so desired, there will be the opportunity.
26. (Q) Would it be good for me to go there? (A) Be very well.
27. (Q) Would it be better to go there than to stay in ...? (A) Will be better to go there than to stay in ...; though there may be OTHER work which would require the activities in the extension or expansion work, that might make it appear to be, or BE, the better choice to remain in ... than going to Berkshire. But such a choice, as indicated, will depend upon the great stress the work will bring about, of course, in the experience during this season.
28. (Q) Will the expansion take place through universities for me? (A) It should.
29. (Q) Would it be a good idea to work with Mr. Griffith of Silver Burdett? (A) This is very well, because it is a very good outlet for those activities that are being carried on by self. It's a very good one to cultivate. Rather than work with, cultivate the activities and the needs and the requirements as come through such an association.
30. (Q) How about work with Vera Beach? (A) This we don't find a close activity, or as being the best; though these may lead to some relationships.
31. (Q) Shall I work with Phoebe Barr? Would this be a good collaboration, with the thought of publication in the arts? Would creative work in the drama be successful? (A) This is an excellent association.
32. (Q) Will I again be associated with [1947]? (A) As we find, as may be seen by the paralleling of the life experiences, it'll be hard to get away from each other! There will be associations.
33. (Q) Could you suggest a direction for my work, or people to work with, that I myself don't see now? in order that it may have the best possible expansion? (A) As indicated, these lead step by step to the natural expansion, with the fields of activity that HAVE been chosen and are being indicated. And in such, these bring into the experience, into the association, individual activities and associations where collaboration may be needed. But follow that which is before thee in the present. Then these will find their places in the relationships needed for the better work.
34. (Q) Can I maintain my marriage and do this work? (A) You can maintain your marriage and do this work.
1992-4 Page 5
35. (Q) Regarding past associations: What has been my relationship with my husband [2298]; how can I best help him regain health and peace of mind? How bring our mutual interests together in closer understanding? (A) As we find, the associations have been close - in those experiences that have been indicated for this entity, in activities along those lines that bring the urges for the present activity. The greater help is in making the better relationships that aid in the health of the companion in the present, as well as in the greater spiritual attunements; not merely as formality, but the deeper, the BASIC principles of the spiritual relationships. These will be of the most help, and FORMULATE the grounds for the better associations of MUTUAL interests.
36. (Q) Have I been associated before with Claudius Murchison? What relationship? Should there be future association? If so, how, and would it be good? (A) We do not find a close relationship apparent. It is as from afar, or a study of one another's activity in other relationships, see? As we find, this would be well to cultivate - an association, then.
37. (Q) Will I be associated with Claudius Murchison in this life again? (A) This depends upon those activities that are brought about in the expansion work of the entity here; that is, to be explicit: If there is the more stress upon that indicated which should be a part of the entity's work or activity, of its extension work - that is, in its various fields, see - these may bring closer relationships, and thus again closer activity with Murchison.
38. (Q) Have I been associated before with [4915]? If so, how can we work together - or are we meant to work together? (A) In the experience before this, companions; not as in companion relationship, but companions in activity - in the supplying of that which has become, as it might be said, as a great SPIRIT as to the meaning of the South land. Yes, there SHOULD be a great deal of cooperative work between these individuals. [4915] had a beautiful life, didn't he?
39. (Q) Was that in the experience before this when I was Olga Oglethorpe? (A) It was in that experience of Oglethorpe; the first governor here of Georgia, see?
1992-4 Page 6
40. (Q) In a practical way, how can I work best with [4915]? (A) In those things as would pertain to the putting into ACTIVITY of songs, writings, those experiences of the entity, and of the experiences in collaboration with [4915].
41. (Q) Any further suggestions about working with him? (A) As we find, there may be much to collaborate; and we would cultivate and keep this association, for it may work for the greater advantage in EVERY way for each of you.
42. (Q) Do I need further training in order to help him? (A) You have the training; you only need to put it into practice!
43. (Q) Will he see it? (A) If he's given the opportunity, he can't help it!
44. (Q) Is that just in this life, or in future incarnations? (A) We are speaking of this life! But there have been associations in the past; more than once!
45. (Q) How have I been associated in the past with Harriet Seymore; will I work with her again, and when? (A) Ye were an aid to Harriet Seymore in the Chaldean experience, when there were the temperings of those things in which that entity now Seymore - was the gazer, or dresser, or dancer. That was the closer association. As we find, there will be some associations, some work together again. Within the next two or three seasons, perhaps. This AGAIN depends. If there is to be the individual work, there will be closer associations. If there are to be the regular curriculum work, ye will be farther from associations.
46. (Q) What have been my past associations with [2910]? (A) This again would best be had through the paralleling of the life information, or records, rather than as may be had from the extensions or close associations in some of those sought. We do not find the close association; though we find - as for self - some dependence upon, or some relationships with the entity. These records should be paralleled.
47. (Q) From my last incarnation as Olga Oglethorpe, interest in economic forces was stressed. How can this be an outlet or channel in the present life? (A) Economic forces as meant here, or as in those activities there, does not apply merely to finance; but rather the broader sense - which is the need for unison of purpose in the activities of the individual in any attempt or activity; that is: If there is the attempt to express self through voice, some may express best in the classic,
1992-4 Page 7
some best in the folklore; but the economic conditions have a great part in the INDIVIDUAL temperament of all, see? Hence these are to be considered, in the training and in the analyzing of individuals or groups respecting activities.
48. (Q) In my Life Rdg. I was warned to be sure of my sources. How can I be sure of sources of things? (A) Sources not so much of THINGS as of the principles, the purposes, the desires, see? These, as has ever been indicated, must within themselves indicate constructive, creative, and not POSSESSIVE or superlative activities, or any self-aggrandizement or indulgence. Creative in its nature.
49. (Q) How should the influences from the Chaldean experience find expression as to "forces which govern the seasons, the crops, the war, the peace, the plenty" etc.? (A) This is as in the RHYTHM of movement of body. This appears to be far afield from crop, season or the like; and yet the same rhythm does not apply to the sowing of the crop as to the gathering of the crop. The appreciations for the abundance in the seasons of fruition are not expressed in the same manner (or rhythm) as the appreciations or feelings in the seasons of labor and activities of same. See? These are to be taken into consideration; just as they were through the entity's experience in that particular period or sojourn. For, in that season or period, much that had to do with the giving of expression in such was a part of the activities of the entity.
50. (Q) From this approach, is it possible to advise the cause and remedy for the pain in my right arm? (A) Body and mind? Pain in arm? As we find, this is a neuritic reaction, and needs an alkalizing. We would alkalize through the ENO route, or ENO SALTS. Take a teaspoonful in water each morning before breakfast for about ten days, then leave off a few days; then take again; and so on.
51. (Q) What can I do to prevent colds this winter? (A) An alkalized system rarely has colds; and this - the taking of the Eno Salts - is a helpful force for this very experience.
