Time of Reading 6:30 P. M. New York City.
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [136]. This we have had before. In the physical forces of the body, these are very good in most respects. Rather would there be that in the physical the body may, through care and attention, and the application as has been given, keep the body near physically fit, and thus through same, manifest those conditions, have those experiences as make for the better development of the body, physically, mentally, spiritually.
2. Ready for questions:
3. (Q) What causes the faint feeling, the weakness and dizziness at times? (A) The fatigue of the nervous system, not sufficient of the vitamins. These may, through the conditions as have been given, be kept to near normal. The application of the physical as respecting this is, that the applications for the physical should be in accord with those of that expended in mental and physical activity.
4. (Q) Is the liver functioning well? (A) Congestion from the manner in which the eliminations show, are from the weakness in the nervous system; not that the body is in a state of nervous collapse, nor of nerve energy overtaxed, but rather that the expenditures of the physical supersede the rebuilding and replenishing forces of the body too often.
5. (Q) The body rest more, then? or what should the body do to replenish the vitality? (A) Systematize the activities so that there is sufficient rest physically and mentally to meet the needs of the conditions as arise. Rest more, but let this be rather more systematized, both as to physical activities, social activities, the mental activities, and the resting physically and mentally. The manipulations for the congestion for the eliminations would be well, were the colonic irrigations once a month at least taken, for this will aid most in the correction of poisons from the system.
6. (Q) Should this body have a baby at this time? (A) Best the body be better fitted physically. By October
136-83 Page 2
be well, for this would give period for recuperation of the physical and nerve energies of the body, and the reactions would be better for the body, under the better conditions.
7. (Q) Best not to conceive, then, until October? (A) September, October, would be better for conception.
8. (Q) That would bring the birth into April or May, or June? (A) June would be well. Mental experiences through these correlates of the conditions well were the body those responsible for such a body to take into proper consideration the state, position or the astronomical conditions, see? The periods under this, this irrespective of the application of will's influence by either or both parents, these would be conditions as respecting the periods between that of September 15th and October 20th, the signs astrologically will be with those of Taurus and of those that would bring into the astronomical conditions those of Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and of Neptune. These make for the greater mental abilities. Those as would come in the period between that of October 5th to November 10th will bring such an influence as to be of those of the voice, musical and artistic talent.
9. (Q) Is there any restriction to be placed upon [136]'s diet? (A) Beware of sugars, but let those sugars as are taken be most of fruit and of nuts, and the rest in most of those as bring forth the vibrations of the vegetable kingdom.
10. (Q) Now, regarding the child. There have been indications, I think, of who, or some who might like, or choose to come through into this environment? (A) This, to be sure, would be dealing with a different phase of that as has just been given. Then, study same. Make the conformity of the astrological influence with that of wills and desires, influence in the physical, remembering that desire may be of the pure physical, or pure mental, or holy spiritual.
11. (Q) Now, with regard to recent experiences, both of my own and those about me, (to review a minute), it has been given from here that those who have been changed from physical, leave their impressions subconsciously, or in a subconscious body. Now, there is in then, that body, surviving body, and the ego itself; presumable, then, in these experiences, one may contact either the receding ego, or the ego in dwelling in another environment, or may contact this other astral body that still functions in this sphere. Now, here is where the fraud may come in. (A) Here is where not so much of that as is ordinarily called fraud, but rather that differentiation of the various experiences of those who are attuned to the various
136-83 Page 3
environments of the same; or different entities, in their attempt to manifest through a finite medium, or a finite source, (Not medium in the sense of mediumistic), but a medium, or a channel, see? In the attempt of ones to attune themselves, they may be frauds by the activity of their own imagination, not by intent and purpose, but so controlled by those influences of the earth's experience of an entity as to be misguided, misled by that one phase of an experience, see?
12. (Q) It remains stored in the earth's portion of what we call subconscious? (A) No, you are following the wrong lead yet. In an individual all of mediumistic abilities, the ability to attune self to a cosmic influence, (we got that far, see?), then this one, or such a one, may be misdirected, misguided by ones too close to earth's influence, or the materialistic influence, see? That a character; then there may be the ones with the same character of ability to attune themselves to a higher pitch and higher range, just as one may sing basso, another alto, see? In their range, then, such a one may contact the cosmic or etheric ego of an entity, and from such a one gain such a one's impression of the good, various forces as manifest through such channels. Another of the same attunement may attune to the same consciousness, or speak from the same sources, and apparently there may be conflicting information from the same sources. (Now, you see what we are driving at, see?) Now, the variations; not that the source is incorrect, but the variation in the interpretation of that given on account of the variation in one attunement, or in the activity of such a channel, influencing or projecting their own ego, see?
13. (Q) There are, then, three factors. First, the own ego of the individual providing the channel, then there is the interpretation of that one, of that given by the ego, dependent upon the ability of the channel to receive the correct impression, or those meant to be given by the ego, and then the last, there are those so close to the earth plane that they may either impersonate (this has happened to me) another, or the astral body, its impression left behind, may be contacted. (A) These three phases, the basis of the interpretation as given, correct. There are many variations, however, to this phenomena, for remember all are attuned to their own vibration in the same manner as has been given that the variations are as that builded in the entity through which such may manifest. That is hard to be understood. Let us illustrate. We have a body, one capable of attuning even to
136-83 Page 4
the masters of the holy place, or holy mount, such a one may gain for self an experience that is beyond description in words, only feeling may express same. The same with other vibrations about self being acted upon by variation of vibrations would change same even as that and current of electronic force may be altered by being sent through copper, or through nickel, see? Now you are catching the idea. Study that.
14. (Q) Now, then, is it possible for an ego itself either receding through what we call Inter-stellar space, or existing on another planet, to so keep in touch or so be aware of little finite details on the earth plane as to guide in detail regarding physical affairs, one whom that ego may choose to guide. (A) That is correct; this is possible, but the care must be taken by such an one that they be guided in that contact from one receding through stellar space, by the same desire as is made manifest by one so receding, and seeking to aid a loved one, whether psychical character, or of the purport, intent, or friends' character, see? for when one is misdirected, we may find such an example in the seeking of the king to be guided by him, who annoyed him while the desire called up the old man and the answer: "Why Disturbest Thou Me, Know Not There Has Already Been Created Through The Lasciviousness of Desire Earthly, in the Activities, that Destruction is Already Before Thee." Study that, see? [Steno didn't get the name.]
15. (Q) Is that the name of the one speaking? (A) That the one spoken of. That entity rests in the bosom of Abraham.
16. (Q) Now, is it possible for the ego to return to the physical plane again, except through the route of the cradle? (A) That dependent not only upon the mental and spiritual desire of the ego, but also upon the desire of those who study those impressions that are not effaced in the earth. These made one, may bring into being that of the entity in such a manner as to be made, to be seen, felt, heard, and in such there becomes oft danger unless understood. In this is the psychical as one set in motion those of the spiritual force, as is made manifest in each entity, or so in body; this as it moves from sphere to sphere, seeks its way to the home, to the face of the Creator, the Father, the first cause, the all infusible force as is manifest; as the ties of sphere to sphere recede, then self is lost in that of attaining for itself the nearer and nearer approach that buildeth in manifested form, whether in the Pleiades, Arcturus, Gemini, or in earth, in Arcturus, Vulcan, or in
136-83 Page 5
Neptune, and seeks to draw that as is experienced through the sphere, passing, then, ever as light, a ray that does not end, lives on and on, until it becomes one in essence with the source of light. Same as the entity this so moves sphere to sphere. Have you not read of: "Know Ye Not, That Ye Must Be Born of Water and of The Spirit?" The water in material, the Mother of life, the Spirit, the Father, or that moving to bring life. Is it possible, then, that a man when he is old, shall again enter his Mother's womb and be born again? He must be born of water and of blood. Blood, a manifestation of force that through which life manifests in its various forms. Water, the cleansing force as one moves from experience to experience.
