1. GC: You will have before you [4113] ..., N.Y. City, and her associations. Please give mental and spiritual advice to [4113] for the guidance of herself and daughter [...] and prospective son-in-law, [...] ..., N.Y. City. You will answer the questions which I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4113] and those associations and relations; also those conditions mentally as confront the body respecting the daughter and the prospective son-in-law. In many associations, WELL were there advice and COUNSEL given. In other associations and relations, these should have BEEN given before such contemplative relations WERE established; for to attempt to advise in a manner that would be as of an outline for activities, whether of mental, social, financial, or what not, would be to attempt to so classify or separate such lives as to bring already a basis for contention or dissatisfaction. Where lives are chosen to be made as one, in a moral and penal manner, these should be allowed to work out their OWN salvation, with that counsel or advice WHEN sought. Not that one is to disassociate self with the interests of, nor the bonds of sympathy, of motherhood, or such - but these should be kept rather as of old, "PONDERED in the heart"; HOLDING that mental attitude as will make for that seeking of association, counsel and advice, WHEN needs be. Not by word, act, or deed, so separate such relations in ANY form or manner - either as to speech, either as to any form of deviation from that already chosen BY each - but holding such a mental attitude in the periods that the self enters into the quietude of self's own introspective moods, or when entering into those periods of concentration - so conduct self's own mind, holding only that of the best; knowing that that IS is for the best for those who LOVE the Lord. KEEPING self, then, not aloof - but in oneness of mind, and in oneness of thought concerning such.
3. As for self and self's relations - these should be rather those of a busy, contemplative life, using self in service,
4113-1 Page 2
busying self in activity for others - and in so DOING will the body mental find that contentment, that satisfaction, as of a life well spent in the ways as will bring FOR the body mind, for the body consciousness, those of the most purposeful, the most filled up, the most busy of lives, as is NECESSARY where one holds a oneness of purpose. Being mindful that those conditions in the physical forces of the body are kept in such a way and manner as to offer for the activity OF the mental and material forces OF body the best channel through which same may manifest; being mindful that the eliminations in the system are kept such that there is not too much heaviness gathered about the locomotary centers, nor the fullness in the lower limbs and feet become of such a hindered condition in the circulation as to cause distresses. These may be CORRECTED when there is just the beginning of indications, yet when same has grown to become a portion of the system - or the physical organism has so adjusted itself as for such pressures in the pelvis and the eliminating system to have become a constitutional condition, or the system has adjusted itself to these changed functionings - they become detrimental and harder to combat. The body mental AND physical HAS given itself in the study of anatomical and of the psycho effect of conditions, both medicinal and pathological in the system, and is one that may USE that knowledge as has been gained to a good account, in such channels, through such conditions - and know, as the body turns self in the study of same - let these be that inclusive of the younger generations; for know in self that the hope of the world rests upon the DEVELOPING minds, the YOUNGER generations, and know that to build a proper and whole body, mind and consciousness, is to begin a generation - and generations - before such is brought INTO being. Then, be more inclusive in the studies of the functioning of the glands as related to the assimilations in system, those of the tendencies as make for those disturbances in the system - as HAS been studied by the body; NOT as to those who have reached certain ages - as of from twenty-nine to thirty-five - but rather as those that, with physical inclinations, are prone - through their own appetites - to build in their own physical beings those conditions that later become as of forces to be reckoned with in their physical make-up; for mind being the builder, then same being controlled by environmental and hereditary forces - NOT as of a single body, but as of a unit of the entity's experiences through the earth's plane - each environ building that as in an innate force, that that may be awakened within self as to the oneness of life, as to the
4113-1 Page 3
continuity of existence - and, as the entity applies self in these directions, may there come those of the greater satisfaction, the greater understanding, and the closer associations of those who will assist, aid, counsel, advise WITH the body, the body will counsel and advise WITH those who are brought into contact with the mental abilities of the body THROUGH such studies, as will bring the most into the ENTITY'S well being. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What will bring peace to the mind and soul of [4113]? (A) As has been outlined, in the use of self in service, for the study of those conditions as has been close to the body, as relate to the various effects as created by the functioning through pathological conditions in the system of human beings. These studies, their applications, and the close contact with such - as an ADVISORY body, as one that may counsel with, meditate with, work with such, will the body find the greatest satisfaction.
5. (Q) What does the future hold for the success of this body, that she may be inspired to carry on? (A) Depends upon the application of self. The abilities, as indicated, are there. As to the application of same, each individual should come to the cognizance of their own relations to the divine, as is within each soul's abilities, and in that relation one finds that that may aid in an understanding - first of self, as to its own contacts - then as to the guiding of self's own life, and the abilities to counsel with many.
6. (Q) What warnings should this body have for its best health and happiness to insure success in her undertaking? (A) As has been outlined, as regarding heaviness - as is a tendency of the lower circulations of the body, especially as related to the lower extremities, feet and limbs - and of such, as has been outlined.
7. (Q) Should the body consider entering any special business enterprise, and when? (A) Rather in those lines as has been outlined.
8. (Q) What advice should she give her intended son-in-law, as to entering the stock brokerage business in Wall Street? (A) Best as to advice - let body be sought, as has been indicated, and not attempt to pigeon-hole or set bounds about same through the advice unsought - for this must, of its very nature, build a barrier that must eventually either be broken down by conditions that would be brought about, or this must be builded as a UNITY purpose; so that the counsel, the advice, that ability as may be manifested THROUGH the self - in being able TO advise WHEN sought. SEEK, would ye find - not go and demand, or tell beforehand.

He that would seek God may find Him. He that would be able to counsel WITH, must often keep quiet. He that would have the ability must be able first to rule own self, own tongue, own activities.
9. (Q) When should the daughter [...] get married? (A) That's with her.
10. (Q) What should the body do to successfully handle her present and future investments? (A) Study to show self approved unto God, the GIVER of all good and perfect gifts; knowing that, that held in this world's goods is lent of the Lord TO those WITH the ability TO apply same IN s direction that will make manifest His love for the peoples through whom the entity MAY contact.
11. (Q) What banker would be a good adviser for this body in whom she could have implicit trust? (A) This may be sought best through the mental forces of the body. Contacts have been made. Associations are already in line. As long as they show themselves trustworthy - If you would be trusted, trust another. If you would have friends, show one's self friendly. If you would have abilities, apply that you already have in hand.
12. (Q) Please advise body how to get the most help and hope from her occult association? (A) By entering into the silence at least once each day, and applying self in the use of that as is already known, felt, has been experienced by self, may be experienced by self; knowing that the spirit from within will counsel with, and guide - and study self first.
13. (Q) What branch of social work would best assist body to use her time to best advantage? (A) Do as has been given! Try THAT! THEN we may give further.
