Born October 28, 1898, in New York City. On the floor of Time of Reading the New York Stock 9:30 A. M. Dayton Savings Time. Exchange, Wall & New Streets, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body of [137], on the floor of the N.Y. Stock Exchange, Wall & New Streets, New York City, N.Y., with the information as has been given this body in readings given for same on the 28th day of October, 1924, also that given on the 12th day of January, 1925, [See 137-4 & 137-12] especially that portion of same relating to the undue influences in the life of [137] when Moon's forces square to Saturn and Mars bring doubts within the body's mental forces. This is given in reading of January 12th, as occurring in the week of August 13, 1925. You will please tell us just the character of influence that will occur, whether of mental, spiritual or physical forces, and how this entity may guard against this influence.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and the information as has been given this body in regards to influences as are exercised in the life of the entity at the periods given, through position of the planetary forces as are exercised in the life of same.
3. Now, we find that with the indwelling urges as are seen within the individual, when there occur certain positions of those planetary influences under which the body (meaning spiritual force body) has developed, these bring the intense urge towards those experiences of the entity as it passed through that phase of its development, for we find the urge within each entity is its experiences in all phases of its existence, plus the environmental conditions of body at time, with the will of entity counterbalancing same through body-mind urge. Hence the necessity of each entity understanding, having knowledge of those laws that do govern same in the material or physical realm, as well as those pertaining to the spiritual forces as are manifest through the body in each of its various changes, for we find all are one, for the real body is that spiritual force manifesting in same, always through the Trinity of that comprising same.

4. In the information as has been given as we find, these influences come for this body at this particular or special time, when through the influences as are exercised in the position Moon, Jupiter, with Saturn and with Mars, this brings to that body, [137], those of that urge, that doubt of self and self's abilities to manifest either mental (Moon with Saturn), with physical, (doubting of own physical health, see?) through the forces or powers in Mars, the own spiritual forces as is the influence, or undue influence on Jupiter's forces with this position as manifested. Then, we find these at this time pertaining to this nature:
5. The body-mind, the spiritual-mind, has reached at this period, especially, and during week of August 13, 1925, that place where the doubts of every nature, pertaining to this threefold force as is given here, come to the body. Hence, we will find, will be easily aggravated through any mental association, whether in business relation, moral relations socially or marital relations, for, seemingly, at this time would occur all of these combining with one to bring the detrimental forces to the mind. With the condition of mind comes that condition where the physical forces, apparently, respond more to these of the conditions wherein weaknesses are shown or manifested in same. Then the combination of all would bring as to that - well - "I don't care! What difference does it make? Let it go to pot!" - See?
6. Then, to overcome this, rather place those forces as are manifest through will forces, knowing that these do appear. That, "Get thee behind me Saturn (Satan), that I WILL serve the living God, with MY body, MY mind, MY money, MY spirit, MY soul, for I am HIS, and through ME, my body, my mind, do I manifest MY impression, MY interpretation of MY God."
7. This does, not, as we see, relate to physical accidents, physical conditions, physical things, pertaining to the material things of life, save as would be affected by same through - "Well, I don't care."
8. We are through for the present.
