TEXT

GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [257], present in this room, his associates and associations, and the various business problems surrounding the body. You will answer the questions which we will ask you regarding these, and especially regarding the meeting yesterday of the Board of Trustees of the Association of National Investigators, Inc.
EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [257] - this we have had before; also many of the associations and relations as respecting the body, the body's activities, mentally and physically.
In the physical forces of the body there be those conditions as the body should take warnings as respecting, especially that of an accident that might befall the body lest precautions are taken as respecting same, in or about a place that the body will be, or has been in. This is about the office, or the like.
Be mindful of the eyes. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is that in reference to lighting fixtures?
(A) Seems more of an elevator, or of that nature.
(Q) Is it in the Albert Pick building or residence?
(A) Office, or about same.
(Q) What should [257] do to protect himself, or avoid this accident?
(A) First have another inspection made of the elevators, especially of those that carry things other than peoples on same.
(Q) Was the action of the Board, as demanded by [900], in accordance with the ideals of the Association of National Investigators, Inc? original organization?
(A) That depends upon the individual application of the ideal. As regarding the ORIGINAL ideal as set for that of each, this was not WHOLLY in accord. As is BUILDED, and as is ENACTED, it was.
(Q) Was it right in the sight of God and man to force the action of all real property into the hands of a few?
(A) This again, dependent upon the viewpoint from which same is viewed. As from that, that taxation without control or full representation, in accord. With that as respecting SPIRITUAL laws, irrespective of those of physical and of trust as is in the faith as maketh for a building of self or individual activities, no.
(Q) What will be the result of such a move for the future development of the Association and the hospital?
(A) As we find, will hasten the determination in the minds of those in whom faith and confidence has been builded, in seeing and in carrying out that as may be builded by them concerning same. It, unless held in abeyance in an active manner, may build for that which may bring many of those actions that have been given, that he that proves self unworthy will be put aside, even as of old when there was the replacement by one that was called a man after "mine own heart." [David replacing Saul.]
(Q) Does that mean that [257] should not sign the final papers, but keep it active?
(A) SIGN!
(Q) Should [257] agree to actual transfer of the property because bills are unpaid, and should he retain his present standing, as he has his name on papers?
(A) The release from obligations may be made final, so far as the PHYSICAL activities - but do not release self as to the spiritual or moral obligations for the SPIRITUAL and MENTAL development, but rather not IN SIGHT - but through channels - the activities of the body may bring much to pass that would not be in OPPOSITION with, but rather in the comparison OF an IDEAL and an IDEA: for to be all things unto all men, to thereby save the more - for God is God of all, NOT of a few; neither is there other than, "Who IS my mother, who IS my brother? He that DOETH the will of the Father, the SAME is my mother, my brother, my sister." Not all that are called harken; neither is there lost that seed or rod in Jesse - for, as has been given, who will declare that there is STILL the horn in Israel? for Jehovah-God calls, that those who will harken may know that the promise has not weakened, neither has god forsaken him that keepeth his HEART aright; for he that stumbleth in an exercising of that PURPOSE may be forgiven, but he that would force - through power - the will of self upon ANOTHER - has departed from the way that maketh for CREATIVE forces in God's power; for that that maketh man as an ensample through the earth, is that he may make his will one with the Father - for, as was given, "Though He WERE the Son, yet learned He OBEDIENCE through the things which He suffered." Not everyone that saith Lord, Lord, shall enter in - but rather he that preferreth another above self. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted. He that maketh himself of no estate shall NOT be cut off, for the promise is in Israel and in the lineage of David - and in the HOUSE of [257] - Kohan - Ken, these are those that are perfect in THEIR generation. Depart not from that of the service as is set before thee. Keep thine eye SINGLE, thine heart true, thine speech as of apples of gold in pictures of silver. Keep thine hands clean, thine mind clear, thine activities in accord with that thou KNOWEST - and the way shall be shown UNTO thee, for God is God to those who will seek His face. He is not short of mercy, nor will He always bear with those who would trample upon the holy things, nor on those counsels of old; for there is a promise - and KNOW that He is FAITHFUL to the one who showeth faith, for in the weakness of the flesh strength is given to the one who HUMBLETH himself that those who have not may receive in their understanding the knowledge of GOD, the Father. He that maketh - He that taketh - HE is blessed!
(Q) Please tell us who gave this beautiful message?
(A) Korah.
(Q) Should this message be sent to [137] and [900] to help them?
(A) Cast not thine pearls before swine; neither make thine house of no estate. Pity is akin to love. Love him that hateth thee, and turn the other cheek to him that would smite thee - but he that is sufficient unto himself has already adjudged thine own efforts. This thou mayest - This thou mayest not.
(Q) Is the President of the Association, [900], being properly advised by his spiritual advisor Mrs. [3734], in his office, for the best interests of the Association?
(A) This we would not answer. Let them answer for themselves.
(Q) Should the Hospital permit outside medicines to be brought to the patients by [195] or [900] from their source of psychic information?
(A) All force, all power, IS of God. Test ye that, and cleave to that which is good; for in humbleness of heart may MUCH be gained. In diverse manners doth God make manifest His love. Think NOT that there are not many who have gained an insight. Forgettest thou the cry as went up from the servant of God? he [Elijah] who oft came into the world, he - even as the forerunner of the Master [John the Baptist as Elijah], "All have forsaken Thee. I alone proclaim God Jehovah, the Father, and now - even now - they seek to take my life away" [I Kings 19-14], and the answer "Who hath made thee a judge of my ways? Knowest thou not that within thine own house more than three hundred have not bowed to Baal [I Kings 19:18], nor have their hands been turned to blood?" These, then, are as those sought. We are through.
