Time of Reading 10:40 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. San Fran., Ca. (Body and enquiring mind. You will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them, concerning his health, his mental and material affairs.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [270]; this we have had before, with those conditions mentally, physically and materially that are a portion of the entity's experience in the present. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Compare present physical condition with conditions found before, and advise corrective measures now necessary. (A) As we find, in the main conditions are as well as we have had them here before, or somewhat improved. However, a great many of the angles or attitudes in the physical forces of the body are brought about by the mental attitude that is held - and through same make for those building influences in the body. In the general we would follow or keep rather in accord with those suggestions that have been made, as the conditions arise. As we have found, the body is naturally tending towards one that analyzes conditions and situations (unless they be matters of the heart-physical!). It is well that there be the same consideration given respecting the general physical forces of the body. Remember that these conditions naturally exist: There are the functionings of the organs of the body in their regular cycle of activity, as there are the natural flows for the activity of assimilation that increases or decreases according to that taken into the body as food. Yet, as may be seen, when viewing certain forces or influences or diets that make for an odor such as to produce within the sympathetic system of the body those reactions, certain elements are created without these taken into the system. So with the natural attitude of the body in building
270-34 Page 2
any element in its relations with its fellow man, or with the activities of the body, or those things builded or brought to the mind or acted upon in the same way and manner that makes for destructive influences, just such things take place in the mental attitude of the body as through the activity of the diet or the secretions that arise by certain influences. Now in taking elements into the body, the diet, the water or the drink that is taken, each carries its influence that carries certain products or problems in its own self; as the supplying of the seven necessary elements needed in the body for the sustaining of the body throughout. When there are those tendencies for the activities in the colon area, as have been indicated, or the tendency for the colitis or the stoppage in portions of the caecum, then begin to apply those necessary influences for sufficient time to produce the proper balance. When a tendency is seen in any portion for any element to be lacking in the system, supply the same through those influences as indicated. As indicated, it is not necessary for the Atomidine to be CONTINUALLY taken, but when there are the influences necessary for the secretions or the activities of the glands (with which the Atomidine functions so well), it is well to have same on hand and to take a few drops for two, three, four or five days. Then discontinue until there is seen the necessity for adding same to make for the activity of the glands, to make for the hormones in the blood supply to keep the proper balance and necessary coordination in the system. These would be, then, the manners in which the body should act.
3. (Q) Outline a co-related corrective action to improve the combined functions of the pineal, lyden [Leydig] and adrenal glands. (A) As indicated, those necessary functions are supplied by the elements necessary in the system to make for an activity. When these are found to be necessary, then act in the manner outlined; when there is the lack of a balance, the tendency for acidity in the system, then add the Atomidine to make for an activity with the pineal, with the adrenal. But these are effected more, as indicated, by potashes, potassiums, iodides, and those as indicated in the Atomidine solution. So these may be taken for a few days and
270-34 Page 3
then left off a few days, then taken again until we see or find that they are combined or kept in the body in the proper manner, so as to keep its normal attitude.
4. (Q) Should Animated Ash and violet ray be continued? (A) These we would discontinue in the present, unless there is the indication for the need of these to lessen the tendencies for those forces in the body to segregate or to produce pus forming portions in the system. Then, if these become necessary, take them again. But during the periods when there is a great deal of activity from the actinic rays of the sun, these are not as necessary.
5. (Q) Is the colon infection still evident? If so, state corrective action necessary. (A) There's some indication, or weakness; though, as indicated, the corrective measures would be taken only at those times as outlined.
6. (Q) Is my weight normal? (A) Near normal, for the age.
7. (Q) Is the correct kind of crude oil used on hair? (A) This is very good. We would continue with those influences and activities as indicated for the better conditions; keeping to the diets that create a balance of those forces in same.
8. (Q) What will dissolve a foot callous? (A) As we find, it may be had from two compounds that are combined very much alike. The Dog On Foot, or Foot Ease, applied night and morning. Or dampen Bicarbonate of Soda with Spirits of Camphor and massage on the callous night and morning. Either of these three will dissolve same. The Foot Ease or Dog On Foot, as we find, will cause less irritation; though the Soda and Spirits of Camphor will make for the removal of same with less certainty of it coming back again.
9. (Q) Examine the plan to revitalize the creative influence and improve my mentality, and give further information for guidance in this undertaking. (A) As indicated and laid out by the body, these are very good. We would only keep in those things and ways which will keep the balancing of the mental and material body in such a way that their activities are builded as one to another. But keep constructive forces towards the associates and the surroundings. Do not withdraw in such a way or manner as to make or build barriers between the
270-34 Page 4
mental forces of each.
10. (Q) Give a clear discernment of my vocational abilities. (A) As indicated, those that will make for the direction of matters as indicated for the body. These, as we find, are in keeping with the abilities and with those activities of the body. Do not become overanxious because those things have prevented a greater culmination of the abilities, or because the time seems long. Remember the Mind builds, as there is seen the growth in nature itself. And while preparations may at times seem long, only art is long - and the art of making for these things in the necessary way and manner as to build on a safe and sure foundation. Do not become impatient. Learn patience with self as well as with others, for in patience ye become aware of your soul - or become aware of the needs of same to build in that constructive way or manner as to make for the greater manifestations in materiality in the present experience.
11. (Q) Can I overcome those influences restraining me from attaining the position designated for me in this experience? Explain. (A) Can overcome those things in the activities according to the divine law; that is, "As ye mete unto thy fellow man, it will be meted unto you." This has been shown thee as the pattern in Him who gave, "If ye will ask in my name, believing, ye have same already; for I go to the Father, and I abiding in thee and ye in me, or I in the Father, we are One." And the sources may then indicate how the individual may meet and overcome those tendencies or those conditions that prevent the greater advancement materially. Let thy meditation and prayer ever be, BUILD THOU IN ME, O GOD, THAT THOU SEEST THAT I AM ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THY NAME. LET THY WILL BE DONE IN ME! NOT AS I WILL BUT AS THOU WILT HAVE ME DO! In this way and manner may there be the meeting or overcoming of such restraining influences. Not in fretting or in kicking against this or that experience that arises. Not in faultfinding or ever continuing to nag at anyone for his or her failure to do this or that! Meet thine OWN things! And unless thou can see that thou would worship in thine God even in thine worst enemy, thou hast not begun to grow. For all force and all power is of Him. See it in Him. Let thy ways be His ways. Let His ways be thy ways.

And ye can only manifest these to thy fellow man, to those in the home, to those in thy association, to those far away, in the manner as He gave; "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."
12. (Q) Now compare this information with present situation, advising why I have not attained or merited a more responsible position with the Western Union. (A) You are on the way! Don't be impatient!
13. (Q) Review my personal conduct and my relation with associates and personal friends, advising if in accord with information given through this channel. (A) These are just as indicated. Keep that thou knowest to do. Do not find fault. For he that finds fault with his brother is guilty already of the same.
14. (Q) Will the work now supervised and the duties performed by me be transferred to the auditors office this year? (A) If so, there will be many changes with those activities; and would indicate that - if the change is made - the entity would be transferred to the eastern portion, or to Baltimore or the like.
15. (Q) Is the plan developed, so that information may be given me relative to acceptance of transfer? (A) It hasn't been carried far or sufficiently far; but if these changes are made and the offer given, accept.
16. (Q) Will adjustment of monetary deduction be made on my behalf this year? (A) It should. By October the 15th.
17. (Q) Will the Telegraph company's business show continued improvement this year? (A) Continued improvement.
18. (Q) Any further information concerning the disposition of my investment in Nevada Mine property? Advise if this can be hastened. (A) We would not hasten; for there are developments that are coming about. And unless there are some unforeseen conditions appearing that are not indicated in the present, these will come about in such a manner as to make a most satisfactory investment.
19. (Q) Will Great Lakes Aircraft re-organization result in complete loss of my investment therein? (A) Not complete loss therein.
20. (Q) The Jackson Boulevard property in Chicago was not sold as given. Is there any further information thereon at this time? (A) We would keep in line with those channels; and as we find it may be disposed of in a satisfactory way and manner,
270-34 Page 6
as conditions develop.
21. (Q) Any further information for my guidance at this time? (A) Keep in the way that thou knowest, that is so simple to all; that is how they err therein. For as ye speak to others, that ye make for thyself. For the more ye come to the awareness of the I AM Presence, or the God-Presence within, the more congenial, the more helpful ye will be to thy fellow man. MAKE in thine inner self this determination: I WILL SO ACT TOWARD MY FELLOW MAN, AND IN MY DAILY LIFE, IN MY GOING IN AND MY COMING OUT, THAT I MAY TALK WITH MY GOD FACE TO FACE. Be not unmindful to entertain strangers, for some have thereby entertained angels unawares. [Heb. 13:2] Keep thine CONSCIENCE CLEAN!
