Time of Reading 5:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. N.Y. City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [4429], of ..., N.Y. City, and you will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding this body's mental and business relations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [4429].
3. Now, there are many conditions as trouble the body, yet these should become as nothing would the body - mentally, physically, spiritually - first take stock of self and that which self is attempting to do through the channels the body has chosen for the manifesting of its conception of the relation of an individual to life, and its life's relations to those whom the body physically and mentally contacts. While the channel may be questioned by some, there is not a greater good performed in few OTHER channels than that as chosen by the entity; either for good or bad, or for the correct conception OF life's relationship - than that chosen. Then, in taking stock, let this be first and foremost in the mind of the entity, for THIS IS TRUTH!
4. The life is so spent that the conception of same gained by others is the reflection of the body's, the entity's, concept of ITS God!
5. While fame and fortune has its place in man's, or woman's experience - still, this fame, this fortune, should be rather the RESULT of life's expenditure than the life expended FOR fame or fortune. Get the difference! for there is vast difference! and on the entity's being able to gain the proper concept of its relation in the sphere chosen depends the real success of the entity.
6. Those questions, as to how the entity may so govern its affairs of the world as to enable the body, the entity, to carry forward the pursuit of that life, that endeavor chosen, should be rather SECONDARY than first! this, as apparent, is first considered as that as has been said of old, "If thine child ask for bread would you give him stone?" If thine neighbor is hungry would you give him advice?" Meaning, then, that the conditions are to be taken as they NOW exist!

7. There is seen and known by the entity that thus far the career, the endeavors, have NOT been satisfactory to its public, nor its managers. Then, wherein lies that trouble - or that condition that would bring the success so desired?
8. In this: The entity has put fame, position, fortune, first and foremost! Put purport - the aim, the desire of the heart, the SOUL, the LIFE - in manifesting before men that concept in self of the true relationship of man and man's experience to the Creative Energy, or God (call it by whatever name may be termed)! If fame be thy god, then the feet of same is clay. If position or power, or wealth be thy god, then the feet of same are in the ashes and sand. Would that that is BEST be shown IN thine self, put GOD before self, before fame, before position - seeking that first! THEN these things may be added unto you! Ready for questions.
9. (Q) To whom can I sell - for $6000 cash - lot 10, block 23 - 25 feet by 140 feet - at east end of Main St., ..., Oklahoma, facing Ford Motor Company on north, lies alongside brick hardware store in which I have option on wall privileges? (A) This, as we find here, may NOT be consummated at ONCE - but there is an OPPORTUNITY to dispose of same to the manager of the motor company in this place (or assembly plant) in April or May, this year.
10. (Q) What can I do to get prima donna job? am I seeing the right managers? or if it is my work, what can I do to better it? (A) Follow that as has been given, in first finding self and for what purpose and purport the life is spent in the endeavors. When this is accomplished in self, the SELF will DIRECT the body to the RIGHT managers! We are through.
