TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the enquiring mind of [1066], present in this room. Considering the suggestions given this individual through this channel in a Life Reading, November 25, 1935, and the activities of the entity since that time, you will advise him now as to the best course to pursue relative to his life work. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1066], present in this room; with the information which has been indicated regarding the life's work, the activities of the entity respecting same, and conditions which exist in the present.
3. In considering the activities of the entity in the present, and that which has been indicated through these channels, - while these as we find are not entirely completed in those lines of endeavors that have caused or brought about the activities, we find that these have been rather as preparations - until now.
4. And still there are those conditions and fields of service - in which there is the beginning of the activity, or the entrance of the entity into greater departmental service of the Government - that will be more and more related to those activities which we have indicated; such as related not only to individuals and their activities in the country, but in relationship to their preparation of homes and home building, - these again will be a part of the activity of the entity.
5. Already, as we find, those channels have been and will be opened through which this relationship and this service will be begun.
6. The greater part of this will very soon be in those areas along the western coast, - and this will be, as we find, more in keeping with not only the place but the surroundings for the entity that will be more compatible with the desires and the purposes, - or more in keeping with those conditions which will arise, through the developments that will be a part of the entity's experience in these connections, in which there will soon be the definite relationships and activities.
7. There will of necessity be a period of training, a period of understudying - as it may be termed - with the various influences and forces that go with such a character of activities of the entity under that new association, or new board, or new directive forces. But these will be, as we find, still in keeping with that which has been indicated through this source as the channel through which the entity may give the greater service.
8. As to warnings that would be given for the entity:
9. Think more upon the spiritual life as related to that activity which has been and is to be a part of the services of the entity.
10. As individuals are made to be mindful of their relationships not only to their fellow men, but as to the laws, the regulations and the rules of their country, know what is the foundation of the liberties of individuals in this land; and know that they are to be kept much in that purpose, that hope, that desire which PROMPTED the foundation of same.
11. Then, as has been indicated, follow in those ways that are being opened, through those channels that will make for the greater and better associations for the entity, in the service to others as the greater service that any soul, any individual, may contribute to his God - through serving his fellow man.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is it probable that I will receive the appointment with the Department of Justice as an investigator, and should I make further effort to obtain this appointment?
    (A) These activities have already been set in motion, and as we find there is not so much the need of further attempts; for it will be offered, - with the needs, of course, as indicated, for some training in the department.
    And the needs are only for the persevering, of course, in following out the various leads, and complying with the rules and regulations as necessary for the preparation of self to make the BEST of the investigators in that department to which he will be assigned!
14. (Q) What steps should I take to carry on the work indicated?
    (A) As outlined, there will be a period of preparation for same. Then apply self in that direction in which, as we have indicated, the entity will AGAIN - along the way - have much to do with the settlements; pertaining to undesirables, as well as to questionable characters, that go to make up the general activities in the department to which the entity will be assigned.
15. (Q) What are the possibilities for business connections in San Francisco, or on the west coast?
    (A) As indicated, these will lead to the greater activities of the entity in that direction, and along that area; and these are the better for the entity, for the satisfying of those relationships, or those conditions, which will arise in the experience of the entity.
16. (Q) Considering the entity's happiness, and mental and spiritual development, what should be his attitude toward marriage?
    (A) This as we find should be a part of the experience, when it has reached that position in which there will be a classification of the activities, or the setting of the entity as in supervision over certain districts.
    This should come about within the next two years. Then, think about it, - because it would bring greater satisfaction in the experience of the entity.
17. (Q) Any further advice for the entity?
    (A) Only the stressing, or the remembering, of that advice given, - as to the application of duties as well as in relation to self, - in studying more the spiritual life, or to show self approved unto thy ideals.
    And KNOW what is thy ideal, - in spiritual, in mental, and in material associations. Not so much as to the "gimmies" as to how much ye may give!
18. We are through for the present.
