1. GC: Please give a complete mental, personal and financial reading on the body of [4586], Care, The ... Company, ..., New York, by answering the following questions, as I ask them.

2. EC: Ready for questions.

3. (Q) What does the year 1927 hold for this body personally? (A) What the body makes it hold for it! There are many various conditions in which this might be answered or given, but this is as is seen - that the year and the time or space through which the entity passes during this period is as the entity makes same, applying those elements of the mental forces as respecting conditions as present themselves from time to time. Most should be good, for the body, physically and mentally, is very good.

4. (Q) What should the body do to further her personal gain? (A) Rather applying self that better service to others will merit personal gain. Service to others should be the criterion of the entity's, physically, mentally, spiritually, and in same bring to self the better personal gain. Never should any be as to what I may gain! What may I GIVE!

5. (Q) Is the body properly situated in her present business connections? (A) These are very good. There will be some changes during the year, yet these will be of the nature that will be advantageous, if applied and used in the right way.

6. (Q) How can she improve this situation and be happier? (A) Make the better application of that known and as applied through the entity's endeavors. How she may apply these? By putting into effect those truths as regarding self, as regarding self's relations with others, as regarding others' relations one with another.

7. (Q) What will her future be with The ... Co., at ..., New York? (A) This would be beyond that as may be given, for there are too many elements that enter into same to give as to WHAT the future will be. What the entity makes it!

8. (Q) Will the business continue to be successful? (A) Continue to be successful, so long as under the present conditions, or present management as has been for the last two years.

9. (Q) Will the present President remain as the employer of the body? (A) If the body so desires.

10. (Q) What are the abilities of the body? (A) Those as have been outlined for the body. These haven't changed! Only in application do they change. The body is improving mentally and physically. Only in application do the changes come.

11. (Q) Advise what course to pursue for the greatest success. (A) In that as has been outlined. None better!

12. (Q) When should this body marry? (A) When it gets ready to!

13. (Q) Has she met the proper man? (A) If she thinks so, yes! The body may apply self to those abilities, to those conditions as surround same, see? There have been within the entity's own individual attitude those conditions that have prevented such a consummation before this. When the body, then, so desires to make those conditions as will meet the needs of those, then this should be consummated.

14. (Q) Should the body marry a business or professional man? (A) Marry the one the body loves, REGARDLESS of profession or business!

15. (Q) What should the body do about the conditions that exist or have existed with Thomas W. ..., address ..., New York? (A) We haven't Thomas W. We will leave him out of the bill.

16. (Q) In the body's Life Reading [4586-1] it was forecasted that a decision would be made before October 23, 1926, as to whether the career would be the life or whether the home and minus the career. Has this condition changed? (A) It has not! The entity decided - decided so far for the career. Now, when the body chooses to change as has been given - then decide! There is no condition in the astrological or astronomical, or in those of environmental, or of those as of hereditary, that surpasses the determination of will as regarding home or of career. Then, why temper self, save as SELF desires to accomplish, do, be, act, or weigh in any conditions as respecting same? All of these enter into the life of the individual. The individual makes same by its application to such conditions. See? For, as has been given, to know to do and NOT to do - to that is sin. To not to know and to do, the Forces - or, as

4586-4 Page 3

has been given, God - have winked at, or passed over - for, as is seen, in application of truth, knowledge, or of any element, is that which brightens or brings or forces about every entity or body the conditions of life.

17. (Q) In the body's Life Reading [4586-1] it was forecasted that through will's forces, in the coming two years, she would put herself in that position where, though responsibilities might arise from same, there would come the greater development from service rendered. What sort of responsibilities will arise? (A) Those that the body assumes - for responsibilities are ever of the resuming or assuming of the entity. We find there are two elements: Those that would shift the responsibility to others, or ASSUME self responsibility and never responsible. The entity's acquired knowledge of self, and self-will, brings about these conditions. Those the entity ASSUMES are the responsibilities, see?

18. (Q) When will these take place? (A) As the entity assumes same.

19. (Q) In what way will the body benefit? (A) By the knowledge, by the application, of those conditions. The more the application of self, the more responsibility - the greater the reward, in EVERY element of life, see? As to that which the entity would attain: Would it assume the responsibility of one possessed of much money, then that much money comes to the entity. Does it assume the responsibility of one that would assume or take on fame, then fame. In and through those channels in which the entity so fits self, through will's forces, are the heritage of the entity. Would the entity assume that as the responsibility of the most perfect home, then that responsibility is as the entity's heritage by preparing self for such conditions - for its assuming or taking on that responsibility; for it has been given, and ever will remain: "Whatsoever a man soweth (and man means WOMAN, too) that shall he reap."

20. (Q) What effect, if any, did the moving of the body's home have on general conditions? (A) None.

21. (Q) Will there be any changes in the home of the body in 1927? (A) Many.

22. (Q) Will the body be affected thereby? (A) If the body allows self. Will's forces present themselves again - become again to that force as is seen - environmental, hereditary, will, that of self's application through experiences in the earth's plane, and of the

4586-4 Page 4

entity's will force as applied to same.

23. We are through for the present.
