TEXT

GC: You will have before you the entity [510], born October 30, 1893, in New York City. The entity now seeks information, advice and guidance, as to her physical, mental and spiritual development. You will give at this time that information which will be helpful to the entity, then answering the questions she submits, as I ask them, concerning her health, her mental and spiritual relationships and associations.
EC: Yes, we have the entity here, [510].
Considering it in the light of that which has been indicated through these channels respecting this entity's development in this material plane, few have accomplished as much in one experience as has this entity in all phases of its relationships with others.
True, there are and have been problems - physical and materials; yet, with the attitude, with the application the entity has made and is making, there would only be this counsel indicated, as we find:
Hold fast to the ideals that have been set by self in its relationships in all phases of its experience.
Let not doubt or fear enter as a disconcerting influence in thy experience, nor in that as may be undertaken.
As we find, there are indications that some of the associations which have been a part of the experience are to be changed. Not that these are to be terminated entirely, but within the year changes are to be made in these directions.
Also we find some uncertainties appearing as to the activities in those relationships in which there is to be the consideration of distribution of the educational and helpful influences, that may arise in the experiences of many by the efforts and by the choices of this entity, in relationships to groups as well as to masses.
Yet, if thy faith is kept, and if thy policies and purposes are maintained, these should prove to be a more helpful and a greater outlet for the carrying out of those ideals of the entity in a most successful way and manner.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is there any probability that I will ever have a recurrence of cancer, and if so, what can be done to avert it?
(A) As we find, there is little probability. To be sure, there could be the possibility - if there were allowed to come an unbalancing of the chemical reactions in the system, and if the body were to become physically weakened through such. But with the precautions, and with the understandings of the body-entity, and through keeping this proper balance in the chemical forces, we find that even such a possibility should be lessened.
(Q) Should I sever my relationship with [Mortimer ... [not his correct name]], and if so how will that severance affect my life, and how should I handle the situation?
(A) As we find, as has been indicated, there are the possibilities of changes in relationships - and this may be that channel here indicated.
There are ideas and policies that have become a part of the entity's development which are not at all times in the proper activities or relationships for those developments. But such changes will come about, as we find, rather not as an entire severance at first; but gradually there will be a change in these directions.
As to what changes this will make, - if there is the building up and the keeping of the policies for the spreading of knowledge to the groups and masses, - it will offer the greater channels for the developments, mentally, physically, materially for the entity.
(Q) When he [Mortimer [...] [Not his correct name]] returns next week, should I resume the old relationship and try to forget all that has happened this past year?
(A) As we find, we would forget that which has happened. For, as indicated, while the relationships will change, these should be gradual, - not such as to produce conflicts in the activities of either in the future.
Let that mind be in thee ever as of a helpful force to all; forgetting that which might so easily beset one as to become stumbling-stones. But use that knowledge rather as stepping-stones for betterment of all relationships.
(Q) How may I avert the difficulties indicated in my natal horoscope between now and the end of 1942, and have I anything to fear in these predictions?
(A) As first indicated to the entity through these channels, all of these are merely tendencies. For, as just given, so long as the entity does not allow fear to enter, and so long as there is the maintaining of those ideals, policies and principles which have so changed the entity's outlook, the entity's hopes, the entity's desires, we find that little may be feared from those indications in the astrological aspects.
True, through this particular period - for the next ten days - there are those astrological influences existent such that happenings of unusual natures in the thought or activity of the world will alter the purposes in the mind of each and every soul, when they have grown to their completion.
Yet this entity has that principle, that purpose latent and manifested within, that may set at naught much of that which would be a hindrance to many.
Thus, as has been given, - hold fast to that faith which has prompted thy activity since last the indication or information was given here.
(Q) What should be my procedure to hasten my spiritual and mental development?
(A) Make haste here slowly. For, this - the spiritual and mental - is as a growth. Ye GROW in grace, in knowledge, in understanding. And as the application is made daily in thy relationships to others, so is the growth accomplished.
This we would not hasten so much, but continue to make same applicable in the daily life - that purpose which has been and is the urge, the prompting of the entity. And of few may this be said.
(Q) What should be done, or what should I so, to make my work for ... Lecture Bureau more effective and valuable?
(A) Choose that which is the more constructive, the more educational, in that to be presented; not that which is the sensation, but that which is truly helpful in the lives and in the experiences of those for whom it is given, or to whom such may go.
Choose that which is easily assimilated by the seeker, by the masses of individuals that such may aid.
This as we find will not only insure more harmonious experiences with such, but give the greater help, and be the greater influence in the experiences of the many.
(Q) What were my former associations in other incarnations with my younger son, [...], and how can I be of greatest service to him now?
(A) To be sure, there were those attractions from former activities that brought about the needs for this close relationship in the present - as would be demonstrated or manifested in a material associations.
He, your son, in those experiences through the French as well as the Egyptian sojourn, depended a great deal upon choices made by you - as to activities.
Hence, these are the manners in which there may be the greater help in the present; not through being an impelling influence, but rather as one continuously being in that position of a directed influence - so that there is the choice made by Him, through the appealing to the better natures for a creative, constructive activity in this experience.
Then you will find, later, that these will return in measures and manners as to bring joy and harmony in thy relationships here and now.
(Q) Have you any further suggestions to offer me for physical health, spiritual growth, business progress and service to others?
(A) In the light of that which has been indicated, hold fast to those principles, those ideals that have been set - for thy mental, for thy spiritual advancement and development.
In the physical, - being warned, be forearmed; and hold to those tenets, those truths as will aid in keeping that normal balance through the body.
As to the material progress, - be ever a constructive influence in the associations with others.
We are through for the present.
