Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. ..., N.Y.
1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading, answering all questions I shall ask you relative to any or all of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
3. Now, in the physical, the mental, the spiritual, the financial, all have been improved since last we had this.
4. In the physical the body shows improvement throughout. Would be well that the body with the medicinal properties keep in system in smaller quantities than given; that is, half.
5. Take those of the osteopathic vibrations now over the whole system, twice each week, and discontinue the rubs and exercise, but continue with the violet rays, for this vibration is necessary for physical forces, in nerve centers, and circulation. The osteopathic massage will correct now, with the incentives set in mental, for physical development, and increase the assimilation in the system; taking then the general massage or osteopathic manipulation. The deeper manipulations will be given about the eliminating and assimilating centers, increasing appetite and the assimilating centers in body, equalizing circulation, removing nerve strain, preventing congestion and assisting the body in the physical. Do that.
6. In the mental, we find these improved in the manner of coordinating with the spiritual elements of the entity, and the body only has to keep the mental in that way and manner as given, and DO NOT be over-anxious for the forcing of the developments through mental forces, for as the conditions arise for the expanding of the faculties, the body, physically fit, will respond. For the body as given is especially gifted in the discernment of mental and soul forces in the connection with spiritual developments in the physical forces, and is, and will be, able to manifest these through the inanimate forces in the entity's soul and spiritual, correlated with the developments as time and space and environments permit.
7. Follow in that way that leads to the perfect

understanding in Him, the giver of all good and perfect gifts, living as the ensample of manifested conditions exemplified in the body before a material world.
8. Be not faint hearted, nor over-anxious, in the development, for the will of Him, the giver, must be made the will of the man.
9. (Q) Why has this body, [137], not gained weight? (A) The strain through the anxiousness of the material forces and the lack of assimilations for the body. Hence the change in the manner of the body's gaining those physical attributes.
10. (Q) How can he put his finances in such a condition as to permit him to concentrate to his greatest possibility on his psychic development? (A) Be not dismayed, for the development in psychic forces must manifest in and through the present conditions, and conditions physical, financial, must of necessity be one and a part of the development. As is given in this: In whatsoever state one finds (as he has found himself) oneself, make self content; not satisfied, but content, ever working toward that oneness of mind (of body, of will, with the development), or universal, or psychic forces. Do not war against these conditions. Make of conditions the stepping-stones to the development necessary to meet the daily needs in physical, in mental, in financial.
11. (Q) Is he conducting himself according to the injunction given him in a previous reading? If not, how can he, and where has he failed? (A) Conduction of the mental forces must keep in the way as given. Failure only in over-anxiousness, producing strain on physical and mental forces, preventing the proper correlation of all within self. Keep in the way as outlined here.
12. (Q) What should he do now to further develop his psychic power? Is he making progress in this development? If not, how can he? (A) Making progress and keeping in the way as has been given, entering into the silence with that injunction, "Here am I. Use me.."
13. (Q) What message of encouragement and hope for future happiness and benefit to be derived from the developing of his psychic powers, can you give this body? (A) When the body makes these, as outlined, a part of the whole of its existence in a physical, or material, mental or mind, or soul, and the development gives of the contentment, the body finds helpfulness, cheerfulness, loveliness, all of the perfected gifts as shown in a material world, for it

will and does make the radiation among all whom the body becomes associated with, this fullness of these conditions exemplified in the body, and all become cognizant of the SOMETHING that separates, yet makes the person and individual the one of the audience, no matter what circumstances may arise, and all seek counsel. Only this injunction: Keep thyself aright, presenting self wholly acceptable, which is but a reasonable service.
