Time of Reading ... Ave., 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York, N.Y. (Body & enquiring mind - Ques.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [257] - this we have had before. Also those conditions physical, mental and material, that surround or affect the body in its varied phases of experience and development.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What should I do to prevent being overtired mentally and physically? (A) As has been given oft regarding the mental and physical efficiency of the body, as the mental and physical is gradually being used in the mental and physical exertions, those little nagging conditions use up more and more vitality of the body - and these, through the mental, make for more and more the tired conditions from physical or mental exertions. While the activities are in progress the body is well, active, and as quick in thought mental and physical as ever, but the responses are such that with the let-down, as it were, the body lags or collapses, in the deficiency of VARIATION in the mental and material and physical aspects to be able to allow the inaction to take all the vitality out. As in the following condition: Unless, as the vitality is taken up through mental activity, the changing of thought can interest and call for a resting of the portion of the senses of the system, the vitality is used up - but the body should be able to rest by listening to music, or by seeing other conditions, or by change of thought for the SENSING of recuperation for the body! This is what has been preached to the body now for ten, fifteen, twenty years! Now we are finding the conditions carrying out that which has been given! The body should be able to find relaxation in sitting down and reading a good book, but he can't at present - because too many other things crowd in! The body should be able to walk for a period, see the beauties in nature, and find rest

from the material and physical attributes of the body. The body should be able to see a picture and be able to obtain from same STRENGTH - that is put out by the activating forces of those enacting that being depicted, in whatever manner it may be presented. These are the conditions. How shall we overcome them? Step by step, as has been given, FORCE self to INTEREST self in the various conditions about the body. Hence, as has been given, the quicker way, the greater response, physically and mentally, may be found by the perfect relaxation in meditation - and don't fool self as to meditation not telling how the activating should be under various conditions! Don't fool the conscience, but act upon that received from time to time, and we will find the physical body will respond. To work over contracts, agreements, sales organizations, activities of peoples, physically and mentally, should be able to be laid aside - and work like the dickens in playing a game of golf and it rests the body! Not that the body is old, not that the body is running out of strength or vitality, but all its eggs are put in one basket!
4. (Q) Hasn't the body improved its attitude in the past few months, on the advice of the Forces? (A) Direction is right, but the general trend is still to fall back into the old ways.
5. (Q) What benefit have I received by my stay at beach? (A) About ten years of longevity to the body!
6. (Q) What will aid me now to keep this condition on my return to N.Y.? (A) Diversity of subjects of interest. As given, there is a VERY good pattern in an associate or friend of the body, who has made for those activities through forcing self to interest self - as Kuminsky [?] or Ouspinsky [?].
7. (Q) Rupinsky, of Westinghouse Co.? (A) Of Westinghouse Co. There is a division each and every individual should make, as given. Each should budget their time, and don't infringe one on another! When it is time to pray, pray - let business go to thunder! It will make more business! Invite your associate to pray with you when the time comes! Be wonderful the changes that may come! When it is time to walk, invite your associates. If they laugh at you, laugh with them! In ALL the activities these will be the more helpful. Think of the many wonders surrounding the body, in its associations, that people come for miles - yea, thousands of miles - to see, that the body has never seen!

8. (Q) What caused breaking out around waist? Give relief for same. (A) Little soda water inside and out will be well. Overacidity.
9. (Q) What will relieve strain at back of neck? (A) Change of exercise and change of views, change of activities generally - and the head and neck exercise consistently taken. It won't cure it once, but -
10. (Q) What can I do to keep mentally alert and to keep back any fear of failing in my ability to succeed in my new plans? (A) Trust more and more in the intuitive forces, that will be the directing power through that received in the meditation with thy Maker.
11. (Q) Why do I go to sleep so quickly when I begin the meditation? (A) Perfect relaxation. There is gradually the taking hold by the inner forces, or inner powers of the body. Train, or set self to retain more and more that which is experienced through such sleep, or such loss of consciousness; for activation is taking place. Remember, the heart doesn't stop beating because you are asleep. The brain doesn't stop acting because you are asleep. Remember all forces; for sleep is as a SENSE of the whole system, and is the great recuperating force. When considered in the same manner, the senses of touch, of seeing, of hearing, of feeling, of all the forces within self, are just as helpful in bringing recuperation, if the diversions are in such a way and manner acted upon to rebuild rather than to destroy all force or strength in the physical body - see? So, in the activating of that sense of sleep, the auditory forces - or those that come through feeling and hearing (which are on guard before the thrones then), then harken to that which is received, even as listening to the program of the best salesman you have sent out! for it IS the best! for it's before the Throne!
12. (Q) Should I at this time invest in Armour Bonds? (A) We would not advise it. They have not been set yet on a perfect basis for the come-back the associations in this undertaking deserve. Remember, these have been trained - or, in common parlance, milked - by some of those who organized same.
13. (Q) Philipps Petroleum? (A) This would be very good, but it will be for a long time before.
14. (Q) What utility stock is it advisable for me to buy to bring profit for immediate returns? (A) Most any of the utility stocks that are already on a paying basis; that is, that their dividends have not been
257-92 Page 4
curtailed beyond the earning powers of the stocks themselves, see? Not those that have been kept boosted; for instance, as in Case or International Harvester, that have been kept boosted for purposes of the larger shareholders in same, but those that show - in Tel & Tel, as in Allied Chemical, as in many of those - Radio - or any of those where the activating forces are such that their valuations in the present, or quotations of valuations, are acted upon by the general conditions, while their earning capacities or powers are as well as they ever were, or as may be in Sears - or as in Macy, or in any of those.
15. (Q) Is this the time to buy Radio Corporation stock? (A) If you can put it away and forget it!
16. (Q) Is there any stock I could buy now for a 20 point gain in next two weeks? (A) It would be questionable in many of them. Some few might be obtained, but we wouldn't advise it under the existing conditions. To buy stocks under the present market, buy them and forget you ever had them!
17. (Q) How long will present market continue to go up? (A) About three weeks before election.
18. (Q) When will there be another serious deflation in present stock prices? (A) About December 1st, or November 29th to December 1st.
19. (Q) Considering Detroit activity, also Drug, Inc., and friends of Gen. McRoberts, what should I do now to put Paris Medicine sale thru? (A) First we would advise with McRoberts and associates. Then reduce that, as it were, to writing. Then compare this with that which has been given regarding the general conditions. Then work them out!
20. (Q) Has the price changed, that will be the final price for entire co.? (A) Just about that as first given - about sixteen to eighteen.
21. (Q) Reference [257] Corp. please advise me for the most important matters to take care of on my return to N.Y. (A) Those that have been pressing with some of the associates that will need the final touches or adjustments from self. These would be the first. These refer to some old associations and connections that are asking that their status or position be more definitely outlined in the present. The body will understand how to meet these as the situations arise, for they will change as the days and weeks go by.
22. (Q) Will Jos. Gerl be valuable to me in this new associa- tion?
257-92 Page 5
(A) Don't find Jos. Gerl.
23. (Q) He is now attached to the Zerozone Co. (A) Be very well if the associations in some other directions are entirely obliterated. Be very good.
24. (Q) Considerable discussion as to the best name for refrigerators has occurred. What name would meet with public acceptance just as Kahnstant Kooler is used on water coolers? (A) Kahnstant Refrigeration would be well.
25. (Q) Spelled with a K or Con? (A) K.
26. (Q) There's been some thought that the Jewish name might affect the sales. (A) Should be helpful, rather than detrimental.
27. (Q) Is Commonwealth, Iceland, Imperial, a good name? (A) Any of these, or combination of these. Kahnstant, as we find, would be the better.
28. (Q) In what branch of refrigerator business will I be able to be most successful by giving my personal attention in next 60 days? (A) In those where there is being readjustment for governmental associations. Where re-financing of and reconstruction in all the various places, forts, ships, and the like, in this direction may these be placed in the present, or included in the present, for these changes. In all camps, in all forts, in all the replenishing, in all the ship-buildings, all the government places where there has been the financing for the better equipping, let this be included in it - let these go through the channels where there is required in the war departments, or that known as the commissary department by the body, and those that go through the same sort of channels for the shipping boards, the navy, and all the forts in like way and manner.
29. (Q) Will Alfred Wilson be able to assist us in Washington? (A) Be very able to assist.

31. (Q) What friend do you refer to? (A) One told to follow!
32. (Q) Please give [257] proper words for his period of meditation? (A) This has been given. Follow this, and - as the changes come, with the periods of meditation have some period of that time in reading the law that has been given, and as these come in their various promises, remember there will be given thee that thou shalt say from day to day, for God of
