TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [993]. Also those relations as affect the body and those relations, in the business association.
2. As has been given this body, there are those developments for the body that will bring contentment and satisfaction, development in the channels where the body - mentally and spiritually - may aid individuals in finding themselves and bringing healing to those that are without the consciousness of that necessary to bring healing force and power to theirselves. But, ready for questions.
3. (Q) The entity is desirous to have more information concerning the ... Iron Works, ... St., ..., Va., which the body is interested in?
   (A) As has been given, there should be the coalition of interests with others in the same line. This would bring more satisfactory conditions to all concerned.
4. (Q) What fields of endeavors should this business expand into?
   (A) In that same field, but broaden its output, and adding to the coalition those of the interests in that same field, see?
5. (Q) How should this be gone about?
   (A) There will be the offers for such combinations, and these then should be considered favorable - and then, through the regular channels of reaching the agreements in such. DO that.
6. (Q) Have within the past week engaged the services of a man who was formerly in business for himself but suffered reverses, to act as a solicitor of business. Another man now in business, who claims to be doing well, wishes employment with us in the same capacity. Which of the two men, if either, can make himself a profitable factor to this concern?
   (A) Take them both!
7. (Q) What terms shall we offer them?
   (A) That on the basis of the abilities of the men. That is, on the basis of that gotten - or a commission, with that of the interest - as ONE seeks for.
8. (Q) Should he be taken into the business later on?
   (A) That's what is given! See the interest as manifested. Let them work for it, or gain it, or gain the right TO become a portion of the business, see? That's as given!
9. (Q) What must we do to increase the volume of output which is necessary for the successful continuance of this business?
   (A) Necessary to revamp some of the modes and manners in which volume, or volume production may be made. These are necessary, but first obtain sufficient through efforts of others to show the more full justification of taking on these propositions of expansion, see?
10. (Q) What characteristic is lacking in the present management of this business that has caused the past few years to be non-profitable?
    (A) Not so much the fault of personnel, or of the character of the individual handling, but RATHER that of the activities of others that work in the same field. That's why we are adding PUSH here, in the form of solicitors, see?
11. (Q) What must be done to insure reasonable and honorable success?
    (A) Work in an honorable way and manner and that will come back. The same force as is put out will come back, whether speaking of material or spiritual forces.
12. (Q) How shall we know the right combination of those who seek to combine?
    (A) On the basis of combination, or on the basis of justice and equalization to all concerned. These will be easy. The body here, itself, will know when they meet the individual - the sincerity of an individual - the intuitive forces of the body would direct in that channel, irrespective of the offers of the other individual, see?
13. (Q) What is advisable to curtail the indebtedness of this firm?
    (A) Prepare to increase the output and the volume of the business - which adds ON more at the present - that is, apparently so but the OUTPUT will be increase that these will be easily taken care of, because these can be made in extensions.
14. (Q) The entity would like to know if her father, [...] [deceased], has any message or advice concerning the business to give to his sons and daughters?
    (A) Don't find it at present. We will seek it.
15. (Q) The entity desires to know if the entity whom she is to meet on the 17th of August, 1929, will enter their business, the ... Iron Works, or for what reason are they being drawn together at this time?
    (A) That of necessity in the needs of the business is drawing these together. Then, the entity is to become interested in the business. The body HAS met, or has known OF the body.
16. (Q) Would you give the name of the person?
    (A) That confutes just what is attempted to be done - the seeking of one for the other - rather than the influences and the conditions as to come. These should come of their OWN force!
17. (Q) Should the entity remain at home on the 17th of August, 1929?
    (A) Not necessarily so.
18. (Q) Will the entity be able to use the knowledge she obtained in New Mexico, and how will she be able to recall this knowledge?
    (A) In dream!
19. (Q) Have you found the father?
    (A) Not here at this time. We will give further.
20. (Q) How can the body go about to remember the dream?
    (A) This will be so impressed upon the entity - make notation of same as soon as body is conscious. Write it down. We are through for the present.
