1. GC: You will have before you the entity known as [146], who is at Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Penn. You will give an analysis of the spiritual and mental factors which are influencing the physical condition of this entity and explain how his will may be aroused to cooperate with those attempting to help him. Explain in detail the psychological and basic soul development causes of his physical condition, and give specific directions for meeting the mental and spiritual needs in relation to the physical experience.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [146]; this in part we have had before.
3. As to those conditions in the physical forces of the body, these - as we find - show many changes from that when we had same heretofore. In the main these show improvements.
4. There is a more normal reaction in the physical body, yet the coordinating of the sensory forces, as related to the activity of the organs of the vocal box, has not been brought about. The vocal cords do not respond to the activities in a physical manner.
5. In the analyses of the entity's development through the earthly sojourns, here we may find much that may be of help to those that were in the associations of the entity during a sojourn in the earth's activity.
6. Through no cause of the entity's physical self, but in meeting or to meet the needs or requirements of those in the environs where the entity's activity was at the period, it became necessary for the entity's activities or abilities in these directions to be hindered or brought to naught. This IMPOSED upon the entity that which made for the entity's inability in the present, through those conditions as the entity imposed or had imposed upon others.
7. Hence we find a condition in the present which may be termed a MENTAL inhibition. This is not the indication of a physical-mental derangement; rather an INHIBITION that has

made for the uncontrolling of the emotions.
8. Then, it is of the mental-emotional body that these conditions are being met, as it were, under a karmic influence in the present.
9. Since much has BEEN accomplished in the physical coordination in the body, we find that these conditions may be the more materially aided in the present by inhibiting the mental forces through psychopathic or hypnotic impressions - to arouse the MENTAL FORCES to the natural resistances in the body.
10. For, as we find, while these conditions are under such a period that these may make for the greater activity in these directions, this - as we would find - would bring the better reactions NOW, or under the present conditions.
11. This should be done by those, then, who may ENABLE the body to give the greater expression of its OWN WILL influence upon the activities of the coordinating forces between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal IMPULSE reflection in the vocal activities of the body.
12. As we find, it would only require some eight to ten such treatments to induce the body - so long as it is in the PHYSICAL health as in the present - to overcome the condition.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Can the hypnotic suggestions be given by those in charge now? (A) This, as we find, may be super-imposed by the spiritual reactions, but there is needed as much of the MENTAL and PHYSICAL reaction as the spiritual IMPORT upon the body. If such suggestions were made continuously as the body loses itself in sleep, it would require somewhat a longer manner or way; but may be done by those in charge.
15. (Q) What hypnotist would you suggest as being the correct one to give the treatments to this body? (A) As we find, such an one as Taylor - Chas. Taylor, New York - 54th St. - 57th - 54 St., as we find, is the address [Charles Francis Taylor Analytic Psychologist, 44 W. 57, NYC]; or Daniel [Charles L. Daniel, Hopkinsville, Ky.] or such as that.
16. (Q) If the decision is for those in charge to give the suggestions, just what suggestion should be given? (A) That there would be, through the very vital forces of self, the raising of that vibration necessary for making coordinations in the activities of the responses in speech; THROUGH the powers of the spiritual activity in the body, in HIS name!
146-10 Page 3
17. (Q) If the hypnotist is decided on, how often should the treatments be given, and how long? (A) About every day for the first three or four days; then it may be every other day for the rest of the time. Ten to twelve such treatments should eliminate the greater cause of the conditions.
18. (Q) How long should the body be kept in the hypnotic state for treatment? (A) From an hour to two hours.
19. (Q) Would the hypnotist be able to arouse the will to speak? (A) To overcome that inhibition that is caused by the motivative activity in the impulsive forces of the body itself; yes.
20. (Q) What should be the suggestion to be given by the hypnotist? (A) This is to be very powerful and strong. Various ones use different formulas.
21. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time? (A) We would keep the spiritual imports in the activities of the body, to make for a balancing in the mental and the physical activities.
22. Do that.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [959] " " Mrs. A. M. Pope (7/1/35 GD's note: See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to be given to hynotist. See copy of letter [which was enclosed] which I have submitted to the Glad Helpers.)
