1. [137]: You will have before you the body of [137], present in this room, and [140] located in Deal Beach, N.J., and conditions surrounding these bodies. You will first give a physical check on [140], then answer the questions I have before me, and then give spiritual counsel and advice to [137].
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and enquiring mind [137], and [140]. These we have had before.
3. Now, regarding the physical conditions as we find with [140], these, in a general way and manner, show some improvements from that as we have had. While there are specific conditions as cause some distress, this, we find, is produced by two conditions that cause uneasiness: One from the condition of the wisdom tooth on the side here, giving distress. The other from worry and anxiety. Were this tooth opened, so that there may be the normal developments for same, we will find this, with the proper anaesthesia for such conditions, or hypnotic conditions for such conditions, will relieve this distress. We would do that. In the general conditions as cause uneasiness, these are necessarily the reflections of experience in a physical reaction, and those conditions as will work for the reaction of physical conditions as related to sympathetic nerve reaction brings better results. Hence anaesthesia, or hypnotic influences through the properties given for the relief of the condition, will bring the desired results.
4. Do that.
5. As for the body [137], present, here we find much of that as has been given as to how the intuitive influences for, in, and about the body, may bring in the physical conditions that as is desired for the body. WELL, however, that occasional rest from anxiety of the physical attributes be given, and these are best made on great expanses of water. THESE we would occasionally do. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is the tooth bothering [140] the upper or lower wisdom tooth? (A) Upper.

7. (Q) Is Dr. Dekorn a man who will understand how to take care of [140]? (A) He should. He's very efficient.
8. (Q) Will he know what anaesthesia to use? (A) He will when he examines the conditions here thoroughly. He will find this an impaction that needs attention.
9. (Q) It would be better to fill the tooth than to extract it? (A) Better to fill than extract at present.
10. (Q) In [140]'s mental condition, how can she be brought more in attunement with the ideas and ideals of the Association? (A) By personal application of the various experiences as come to the body from time to time. That is, as these influences, as are so often about the body, give their expression in physical and mental enforcement to the body, these, applied by self - and it may not be applied by anyone else! - these, applied by self, will bring the better attunement.
11. (Q) How can I help that application? (A) In prayer.
12. (Q) Regarding the suggested water trip for [137], would August 20th be a good day to start, considering business, [140], [143], and all associates? [See 137-124, Par. 5-A again advising the trip.] (A) Good day. [See 9/2/29 ltr. under 137-123 Reports, Par. R1.]
13. (Q) Was that deduction figured out through numerology or its use? (A) Through the astrology WITH numerology.
14. (Q) Can that be developed in the physical on this plane? (A) It may.
15. (Q) In the business of [137] - [900] Brothers, is the trust given Kaufman wise? (A) Wise.
16. (Q) He will not abuse that? (A) Will not abuse that as long as under the influences of these that are counseling and reasoning with this body.
17. (Q) The body [137] has had numerous visions, experiences - some recorded and others unrecorded - one of which was given to [900] and said, "Tell [137] the year book of 1913 has been affirmed." (A) This, as visioned, is related to those conditions as are in the minds of these individuals as respecting the developments of those interests and conditions for others that are near and dear to each, and, as is seen, as there is the consideration of the contemplated expansion of the efforts in this direction, these refer to the aids as may come from ones that came into

the experience of this year, in this way and manner. This one coming - the entity being that one whom the body in its experience counseled with oft, and who was as the father (earthly) and counsellor (spiritually) during the experience of Jude, and in the development of this body there will come into the association of the body, [137], this individual, who, when he comes, will be known to the body as the one who will be able to assist the body and those associated with same in carrying out the continuation of the year book, or the review of the experiences through the psychic field. Then, being forewarned, be prepared when this experience comes to counsel with and be of aid to such an one, and he will be pointed out, even as his brother called him aforetime to the counsel of Him they both defended.
18. (Q) Does this mean - (A) Andrew will call his brother again to the attention of [900], [137], of the experiences of his brother Peter in this period, see?
19. (Q) Is the body Peter living today? (A) Born in 1913.
20. (Q) That is the entity referred to? (A) And will be brought by Andrew to the attention of these entities, as relating to these conditions. [See 311-6 Par. 8-A, 9/19/31. See 341-51, Par. 11-A, 12-A on 4/3/43.]
21. (Q) Is [5767] one of the prophets or disciples of the Master? (A) Bartholomew.
22. (Q) He was Bartholomew? (A) Bartholomew.
23. (Q) Why is my liking for him so marked? (A) On account of those associations that endeared all of the apostles or disciples to this entity Jude in that experience when, through hardships, many gained the better concept of those experiences through which each were passing. As is seen in the present experience, this - or these entities, thrown together under different circumstances, yet each find in the other that confidence that is not wholly understandable to either - yet, were these to read together, even this as is given by the Beloved - "The Father pitieth those that would seek after Him" - or again in "In my Father's house are many mansions; were it not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place, that where I am ye may be also. Me ye have known, and the way ye know, for I am the way, the truth, and the light. Had ye not known me ye would not have known the Father, but seeing me, in me ye see the Father also. If I go not away the spirit will not come unto you, but I go to the Father, and the spirit will ABIDE with you and bring to your

REMEMBERANCE all things whatsoever I have said unto you." These - this, mine son - and thou wilt see, even in the counsel of thine own hearts, as men, THIS fulfilled in the street, in the market place, or in thine OWN home.
24. (Q) Is this from the Master? (A) Joseph - I, Joseph, would counsel you thus. These, my son, the words of the Master, even as spoken through the Beloved in that of His record. Read them there.
25. (Q) Why is it, Father Joseph, that it seems at times impossible for me to get the counsel from you, that at other times comes so readily? (A) Oft is the reticence, my son, produced by the surroundings, that prevent the gathering close together. As has been given thee, when thou would counsel, draw thyself apart, and there we will commune one with another; for, as the way is opened, and the understanding gained more and more is the spirit made manifest in little everyday affairs among men, even as thou hast been able to know those whom ye counseled with in days of yore - yet in THIS, thine day of strength, give ear and heed to those periods when I come - and when the Master bids, even as here - mine son, mine brother, even as the Father in me was shown in the life thou gavest for the cause in me, even as the study thou madest of the words as written by the ones of old, they become as words of wisdom in the counsel thy words gave to others; so, in this day, know that the spirit is abroad, and when there is cause for that defense as thou so well gave of old, I, thy brother, am with you, will keep you, will guard you, and guide you, and HOLD you by the hand!
26. (Q) May we always be worthy of this guidance and trust! Will it be possible, at any of these instructions of the higher forces, for me to see in physical form either the Master or Joseph? (A) Both will come in the days as are to come, mine son, and you will see the various developments of the various manifestations as will be seen. These are present, ever, in and about you when thou callest on the Lord.
27. We are through.
