1. DEK: You will have before you the body and you have before you, the body of [4341] present in this room, at 290 Riverside Drive, New York City. When you have located this body and its business and personal associates and problems, we will then ask you questions about his mental and material affairs which you will answer slowly and in detail and fully.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; those conditions and problems as are associated with the body and its mental, social, physical and spiritual relations as respecting the experiences through which the mental body is passing. These present at this time those elements that were the first principle of that that may be given were fully applied in the present experience.
3. The body-physical, mental may become a power in the mental, the financial, the spiritual world as applied to the experiences of men's existence. These then are this: Learn these well for the emanations of every endeavor must be tempered by these laws that permeate the whole of that knowable and applicable in man's experience.
4. First, the continuity of life. There is no time: it is one time; there is no space; it is one space; there is no force; other than all force in its various phases and applications of force are the emanations of men's endeavors in a material world to exemplify an ideal of its concept of the creative energy, or God, of which the individual is such a part that the thoughts even of the individual may become crimes or miracles, for thoughts are deeds and applied in the sense that these are in accord with those principles as given. That that one metes must be met again. That one applies will be applied again and again until that one-ness, time, space, force, or the own individual is one with the whole, not the whole with such a portion of the whole as to be equal with the whole.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) [Question not recorded]

(A) This within itself presents many phases and many angles. It may be answered "yes" or "no", and both be correct, or both incorrect. It then is that the self, [4341], finds within that, that is not expressive of self in that association and seeking to find the channel through which that portion of self that is created it itself will find an expression, and well that energy, that self then so apply self in other channels, and as given here, this body, this entity, this being, with no material or earthly complement but the real individual self, there may be said of it: "Capable to go to the highest point in whatever endeavor the entity may choose or channel through which it may express itself". With it keep first and foremost that continuity of purposes with its self that it must be the servant of all to be the greatest among all and that in applying self, there comes first that knowledge of self and as has oft been given, my son, seek first that knowledge or that kingdom, as it were put of old, of self or that portion that is a portion of the whole creative energy or God and all these things shall be added unto you, for the silver and gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts and the cattle on one thousand hills and those that make themselves a channel for those blessings or natural consequences of same. Let them: power, might, position, whether that of in money, in prestige, in social or authority not be first and foremost. "Money", I use same to better expression, to better manifest my conception of my Creator or myself," for truly, does not one build that which it (self) occupies? Then in the change there is good to come, for bound about the narrowness of others, self finds little opportunity for expression. Yet in the finer things, when we speak materially, does the body, the entity, find an opportunity for self-expression. Then seek associations first with those whose principles, whose motto is first and foremost: "I serve that I may be the more able to serve better" and in those lines, those channels that have to do with the building up of materials, their structure, their construction, their application in the part such plays in the lives of individuals who make same a portion of themselves for all do when the first leaves were gathered as those that would offer some expression of self in mood, or manner or adornment.
7. (Q) [Question not recorded] (A) Just given.
8. (Q) [Question not recorded] (A) Through those channels where there are the preparation of the manufacture, the construction, the selling, the distributing, the exposition of such manufacturing materials

present themselves. Such channels, such associations, such connection would the body find the best manner, the best way of expressing or manifesting self. Though as given in any channel where the body finds an outlet of self-expression by remembering first: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me, for that in self, let not self become the lord and master, but the lord and master of self to serve."
9. (Q) Will the conference - (A) (Interrupting) be successful? Be wonderful to take the conference as is shaping itself, were the wires put in order. Put them in order.
10. We are through for the present.
