GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind
of [
270], of Room ..., San Francisco, California who seeks
advice to guide self and of his business and personal
relations, associations, working conditions, and surroundings
with those of the Plant Dept. and the other Depts. of the ...
Co. in San Francisco and at Chicago and New York City. You
will now inform [
270] the status of his present connections
in San Francisco, the associations, surroundings and
conditions, giving particular reference to the results of his
efforts to correct matters pertaining to self. To improving
his business affiliations and relations with those Western
Union executives in charge of operation, and inform him if he
is now rendering a satisfactory service in the present
position, otherwise what changes, improvements or precautions
should he exercise to aid him in the direction sought. You
will answer the other questions that I shall ask you.
EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, [
270].
This we have had before. Also those associations and
relations as respecting the surroundings of the body. In the
present associations and relations, these - in many ways and
manners - have been, and are, satisfactory to those superior
in office. As for self and self's surroundings and
relationships, these have not been altogether so entirely
satisfactory. In this connection, however, we would not
change from that as we have given as respecting this; for, as
is seen, this must be worked out for self. Also that, while
there are opportunities in this direction, these should be
worked towards those of back to other conditions more in
keeping and in accord with the wishes and the abilities.
This may be used, and as has been used, and can be used, as a
training for other positions, conditions, relations and
surroundings. These the entity will apply in self. Ready
for questions.
(Q) Is the natal planetary situation in this appearance
responsible for the slow progress of this body? [See Life
Rdg. 270-15.]
(A) Not so especially. As has so oft been given as
respecting planetary conditions, these produce tendencies and
inclinations in the lives of individuals. The WILL'S
application, the ability of combative forces is to be kept in
accord with IDEALS, is for the development of AN individual,
and it is as applicable here as in any. That innately there
is the tendency to be dependent upon, or to wait or to listen
to those in power or those in position, and not push or
demand that in keeping with an ideal - that doesn't mean in a
selfish manner, or in a self-exaltation, but rather in the
manner as following for, working toward, being in attune
WITH, an ideal.
(Q) Is it true that material changes will take place this
year in his employment and life, enabling him to advance in
the direction sought?
(A) These will be in accord with that as has been given,
that it may come about. As to whether this will be
consummated in the present year, will depend as much upon the
activities of the entity as of other surroundings. As we
see, it would be in the latter part of the present year, a
removal toward the East again.
(Q) Will this position result from the consolidation of the
Radio Corp., American Tel & Tel and the Western Union?
(A) Not necessarily so.
(Q) Will it mean that he will again change his residence,
moving away from California?
(A) That dependent upon the conditions and surroundings.
(Q) What industry is to become this country's next source of
activity?
(A) Those of the aerial nature; that is, radio and its
associations; aerial and its associations.
(Q) What existing or new leader of industry is to come out
of the future to stir the creative genius of this nation?
(A) This has been given.
(Q) Give advice regarding shares held in Western Union.
(A) Hold to 'em!
(Q) Give advice regarding shares held in Great Lakes
Aircraft?
(A) Don't dispose of them.
(Q) Give advice as to future handling of contemplated
purchase of Missouri & Kansas Pipe Line stock?
(A) This we wouldn't be too fast about.
(Q) Will a change of the Divisional Headquarters of the
Telegraph Co. from San Francisco to Los Angeles materialize
next year?
(A) Seems to be the year after. Thirty-two.
(Q) Is the physical condition of [
270] in satisfactory
shape?
(A) In a great many respects, very good.
(Q) Are there any other matters pertaining to the material
and spiritual condition of this body that it should be
advised about at this time?
(A) Keep self in attunement with an ideal. Let the ideal be
that in keeping with those conditions as have been outlined
for the body. These are the truths most TO be kept MOST
before self: MIND, the builder - but guided spiritually
brings for those elements in the life as, when they have
grown to seed, bring those conditions of a gratifying nature
to the individual and individual development. Wherein there
are allowed those of the carnal, or of the material nature to
be predominating - these may have for the time being their
glossiness and their gratification of physical desires, but
"there is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the end
thereof is death."
