1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mine of [4733] of ... St., ..., Pa., and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding his home and business associations and relations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [4733]. There may be much said concerning the business and home relations and associations for this body. While the body from the moral standpoint (of self's own standard) is above reproach in the eyes of many the body would and does associate with; yet in the eyes or heart of self it is not always satisfactory. Well, then - whether in social, business, filial, or friendly relations - that the body-consciousness, the mental forces of this body, [4733] take stock of self and where this unsatisfactory condition will lead. Not that we would LECTURE the body, for it has abilities that are exceptional even among the associates; yet an individual often finds that the heart is not fully in attune to that which the inner consciousnesses knows to be that which is the development for the soul, where "moth and dust doth not corrupt." This proves the "fly in the ointment" that brings dissension, trouble, and the very things that bring these are the inactivity of the inner consciousness WHOLLY toward that criterion of central purpose of this body. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Shall I accept another offer, which I understand will be made to me after Jan. 2nd? (A) Accept.
4. (Q) Give advice as to the maintenance of harmony in the family circle, inharmoniousness probably due to my wife and daughter's nervousness. (A) Not WHOLLY to nervousness or to illness of others. The body is prone to keep self and self's activities - whether of the mental, physical, or spiritual side of life - in such a position as to be able to conscientiously shift the blame of WHATEVER may happen to another. This is not correct. Let the body learn that, he that would have harmony must be

harmonious first within his own self, and such radiation from self will bring to the home, to business, to friends, such a peace that brings harmonious contentment - through not necessarily SATISFIED; but be CONTENT with that IN hand, and so act, so live, and so manifest harmony through self's action as to bring that to pass; for what is sown one also reaps. When the act - either by physical deed, implication or word - is such as to put even the question mark as to what is the intent and purpose, dissatisfaction is created; and remember, thoughts are DEEDS and may become crimes or miracles! Apply that in the relations with the home, and the harmony as is sought will be the outcome. Not with an eye-service of, "that I may have may own way", or "that I may bring others to MY own way of acting, or own way of thinking"; but let thine thought, thine act, be so in harmony with that of the inner life as to RADIATE harmony; for when one looks about in all nature of every character, the first law is harmony, and is of divine origin, even as life, and when same is not in accord WITH that of the Creative Energy, or God, discord is the result.
5. (Q) Please advise as to an estate in which I am a beneficiary, from which - due to what I consider improper handling - I have not received any income for the past 3 years. (A) Apply to self that same manner of handling. Had self been in the same position as those handling same, would other beneficiaries have received more than has been committed to thine keeping? Have the activities OF those handling same been WITHIN the law? or has the self - in the manner of speech, and manner of questioning - created in the hearts, minds and activities of those handling same, that doubt which has grown into that position wherein self and self consideration has become first and foremost? Would the body receive that as is just and right as respecting this estate, then advise and counsel in a DIFFERENT manner than the questioning of the things that have come about! THIS will be the correct manner of living: "As ye would that others should do to you, do ye so unto THEM", and WHATEVER the situation this will apply - for the purport, the intent, the act, is that which counts; for seed sown - whether of questioning or of laudation - are sure to reap the harvest that is sown, and when one errors against another the greater error is against self. So live, so act, that that as is radiated from thine own life is the true reflection of self's conception of self's God, that self would desire to show to others; rather than attempting to so act as to have others believe that one would LIKE them to believe. We are through.
