TEXT

1. GC: You now have before you [903], who is located at the ... Hotel, Indianapolis, Indiana. You will give a spiritual, mental and financial reading, with suggestions for improvement of any or all of these. You will also answer any questions that I will ask you relative to this entity.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Spiritually, and mentally and financially. Now we find all of these exhibits of a physical body in a material world in this entity and all very well balanced. There may be many conditions that bring improvement to the mental and the financial from different standpoints, however, than from those at present expressed.
3. In the spiritual, we find the entity one well awakened to the spiritual development for self and in and for others one awakened sufficient to the necessity of spiritual forces entering in every physical and mental action, whether the nature of such undertaken by the success necessary for development in the earth's plane. Only keep that spiritual insight; only temper every physical action, every mental force, with that spiritual development that would bring the greater success to the entity to the body, in a material world and in the spiritual world beyond.
4. In the mental forces, we find one well adapted to the present conditions and endeavors; one capable of going much higher in the dramatic elements of the profession.
5. One whose physical and mental would lend their aid to such development and with spiritual insight, the entity can and would carry a message to many peoples through such endeavors.
6. In the financial, this we find a consequence of the application of mental in correct channels, and the body would be able to make a financial success from its endeavors. Would not, however, trust too much some who have been trusted for the handling of such financial returns from endeavors.
7. Then, keep the physical fit that the mental may have that proper vehicle to manifest through, that the spiritual insight in many conditions may be transmitted to a public that would gather good from such endeavors.
8. (Q) Has this entity the necessary qualities to attain great heights in the drama?
   (A) We have given it.
9. (Q) Could the entity make a success of her career if married to a business man?
   (A) In such relations, we find there enters much that divides the mentalities of an entity attempting to give a message through its gift or art, and in this we find the body no different from others in that a divided house gives not the best to the ones attempting to be benefitted, bringing then bad for all.
10. (Q) Would there be progress and contentment in her home if she renounced her career for marriage?
    (A) The body, mentally and spiritually capable of renouncing career for another career, establishing and making a home, the greater career any individual may make in an earth's plane, for it becomes the pattern of that sort [sought?] before the inmost of every entity. This individual must decide that for self. There are the possibilities, the qualifications, for the entity to make a success from either; not possible to make both.
11. (Q) How long should she remain on the road?
    (A) Depending upon decision of the entity as to what shall be made the career or the life's work.
12. (Q) Under whose management should she seek to advance her art?
    (A) Not given from here.
13. (Q) Should she beware of any intrigues in the present management?
    (A) No.
14. That is all the questions.
