1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [2056], who is located at ..., and you will answer the questions regarding his associations and relations towards business.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [2056].
3. The associations with the body consciousness has brought about some very indefinite and unpleasant conditions with the body. These need correction, and - as has been given, the development (which is of the body consciousness) would bring about those conditions that would lead to those channels that will bring about the greater development for this body.
4. Now we find, while the body should seek other associations, this should not be hurried too fast. Rather seek to keep self in that at-oneness with better conditions, better elements, and let the conditions - as it were - WAIT for the time; for changes are taking place in the relations to the entity and the entity's outlook and vision on associations with others, both in the POLITICAL and in the BUSINESS associations.
5. For the time being, then, the entity, the body, the mental forces may make a temporary connection either in New York or thereabout - BUT, as we find at the PRESENT, were the conditions kept in the trend that is now coming about, the body will fill a responsible place in connection with the associations of political power, rather than as SALESMAN or as representative of sales forces. While such a place may be taken at the PRESENT, keep self in a position to be able to answer to that call of service to others through the connections in a political way. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Regarding his connection with [...], in view of that which seems to be afoot, what should this body do relative to his association with this company? (A) Discontinue connection with any condition that to the body-consciousness is not in keeping with the best development of self, or of others. Never well to do evil or

any underhanded thing that individuals or groups may benefit materially from same. Rather live that life that MERITS the best through SERVICE given to others - for the laborer is ever worthy of hire, and the Lord hath given and hath established that, "He that walketh in the way of the just shall receive the fat of the land." Let the Lord be thy God, rather than position, power, or fame - for in service to Him may the heart find that satisfaction that comes with a life being WELL spent, and do not so act that self-condemnation enters into thine inmost self.
7. (Q) Just what type of work should he seek? (A) As given, any associations for the time being in a selling force, or in any proposition in or about the city - New York - may be made for the present. In keeping with these - do not be over anxious, but be in the position to accept or to fill a place that may be in the way of serving others in a POLITICAL way.
8. (Q) Give the body any other advice that would be in keeping for the best development for this body. (A) Keep thine face toward the light, and the shadows will not bring fright - for fear is the beginning of all undoing. Keep the heart singing, and the Lord will raise thee up to MAGNIFY His promises to men through service to thine fellow man, for he that lends to the Lord lays up a store in that realm where thieves do not break through nor steal. Keep thine ways open, above censure, and NEVER censure self.
9. We are through.
