Time of Reading 11:50 to 12:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the entity known as [443], present in this room, her manifestations in this life and the information which has been given her through this channel. You will answer the questions which she will ask, regarding her development and work with the instrument, present in this room. [Dr. Paul E. Cold's instrument]
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, [443], and the information that has been given the entity, the body, through these channels.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) You have told me in my Life Reading [443-1] that I had many impulses. Will you now show me how to so harmonize them that my mind and emotions always work together? (A) As may be seen by the experience of the entity, while the emotions and the impulses at times vary, this for many an individual - and for this body - is a natural manner of expression; and if the ideal is always kept as the measuring stick, as it may be termed, the developments will come in the natural order of things or experiences. Hence in harmonizing, only let the impulses and the activities in those impulses be gauged by the ideal, and it will make for harmony in the experience of the entity in its development. That impulses and desire often make for contending influences will at times become apparent to this body, yet if the ideal is set, if the ideal is held, if the ideal is made the point of harmonizing or measuring or holding to as the gauge, the guide, the rule, these will make for developments in the proper way and manner. That the body-mind or the impulse for activity often becomes, as it were, bubbling over with enthusiasm for the moment and then, while not cooling - yet calls for in self
443-6 Page 2
what others may term as a saner, more rational manner of approach - is that for the moment the ideal, in enthusiasm, may be lost sight of. Hence ONLY harmony may come if this is kept first and foremost.
5. (Q) Instruct me how to operate this instrument, so that I may be a benefit to humanity. (A) In the first there is, as indicated from that given, the necessity to know within self what is to be done or desired to be done respecting self's influence upon the individual, or group, or people's to be aided, see? Then, in making the contact for aid, the necessary divining - or divining of the reason for the approach, and what's to be accomplished by same - is to be gained in self's own consciousness. Then, in adding of self in the abilities of self make those connections or vibrations that will aid in neutralizing or revivifying in the activities of the mental and the physical forces of those that the body would aid. In the mechanical application, this raising within self, this seeing that which is to be accomplished, must harmonize or work with much - as has just been given - as to what would be the ideal condition for the individual as related to its present or existent conditions. And there will be gathered through the forces those sources of activity as to bring that about in the experience of self, as well as those whom the body would aid.
6. (Q) What is the best method of using the dials? (A) As indicated. The left for the tuning or toning of self. The right as of getting for the individual the correct attunement to self and the instrument's raising. And the center as centralizing or making for the raising of the power to that of carrying the influence to those that are being aided. Hence the left is self. The right is the body being aided. The center as centralizing or raising the power in activity.
7. (Q) Is "self" me or the one I am treating? (A) Self IS the individual using the machine.
8. (Q) Has the human body a number system? If so, what is it? (A) Those fall into the natural sequence of certain influences. As the male, is either from or to those sequences of twenty-three; while the female - the natural sequences of twenty-eight. Or one the perfect whole number, the other the perfect odd number. And in gaining or obtaining for each its relationship to those vibrations of
443-6 Page 3
the sex, in their relationships one to another, that either of the direct application of the anodes or plates or from the smear that may be effected by determining that portion to be aided. For, we would set or begin same with these numbers, dependent upon that to be aided, see?
9. (Q) Do I use the same method to accelerate circulation as to quiet it down? (A) The same method. For, in making for acceleration is to make for the proper vibration of relation in all portions of the system. That which creates any disorder is the incoordinating of one portion of an organism as is its relationships to another. And in the accelerating of the vibrations, either through pulsation or through nerve plexus or radial activity from nerve plexus, is to make the PERFECT activity; and this NEUTRALIZES that which is disordered in its association or connection with that being acted upon or from, see? This may be as an illustration in making an application for an individual: We have a body that is disturbed by dysentery and the body itself (in making application, the director of the treatment now for the body) - this we will say is female also, see - the vibrations of self - as may be determined by self from day to day by its own application of its own smear (operator) as to its vibration in that period of treatment, see - is set. That's on the left dial. Then the vibration of the individual who is to be applied or treated is set. The twenty-eight on the right dial. Then, as there is the change necessary in making the application to the metals or the conductors or non-conductors that make the awareness to the treater of that which is being set, then the necessary height to which it is to be treated is turned not only on the right dial but as to make for meeting the raised in that on the central dial, see? Hence we would find in nine cases in ten that point to which it would be raised is the directing of the application for the change in the vibration of nerve impulse to the circulation, through the plexus which governs the hepatic circulation through the lacteal ducts, as aided through the activity of the pancrean reaction to the ducts of the gall bladder itself. The ducts, not the bladder, see, in its activity. This, then, would bring the vibration to between thirty-six and thirty-eight on the right dial, to most individuals, dependent - of course - upon the seriousness of the disorder or the long-standing and the vitality of the body itself at such a period. This is determined by the operator or director at that period of treatment. Self, then, has been
443-6 Page 4
harmonized, see, by its own activity in that particular period of application or manifestation, and that necessary to produce harmony for the body being treated is set to make for the radiation of the influences of such a machine that brings what? Those influences active within the body creating a perfect flow to meet the needs of the disorders in the various sections or parts of the body from cosmic or those influences from without.
10. (Q) What length of time should a treatment be? (A) This will be dependent, of course, upon the individual itself to whom the application is made, but there should be - and will be found to be - much more harmony reached as long as quiet in self may be maintained by the individual being treated. Then this makes for quite a variation. Some individuals may be quiet for two minutes. Others, over two minutes would become nerve racking. Others may be quiet for twenty minutes to an hour of treatment. But these will be governed by the varied experience and the ability of the director or the one making the application, to HOLD the body being treated. Hence why the psychic, or how the psychic influences of some that are treating or operators have a great difference in their abilities to aid fast or hurriedly or immediately.
11. (Q) How can I know where a condition does not warrant the use of the instrument? (A) By the rap or by the vibration that comes from contact with the individual's inner vibrating self.
12. (Q) How would I know the difference between positive and negative rap when tuning in? (A) That which would become - Self has already been changed first, see? Alright! That which, then, becomes abhorrent or to self of such violence as to almost unseat self, don't try to work it - you can't! Be well for making the preparations, or in testing first in plant life, as given; for the flow of vibrations here is that which may be seen even with the naked eye, and activities where scab, smut or any infectious forces will make for an easy attunement or applying to physical bodies. Where, as indicated, there are infectious forces from conditions that are of the nature that do not work the more with the impulse and the circulation, or the nerve and blood supply, but as of the advanced stages of cancer, or advanced stages of leprosy, or the advanced stages of even measles or such conditions - but those in their incipiency WON'T vibrate the same, see? for these are where cellular forces grown cold or inactive or low vibrations have allowed outside influences, or such bacilli to enter as to become active in itself. When any
443-6 Page 5
condition has reached so it's activity within it - self, and draws FROM the body - then it will not work, see?
13. (Q) What number would you tune in for plants? (A) Twelve on the left and twenty-seven on the right.
14. (Q) Any particular type of plant that would be best? (A) All those through which the life flows, that are the most numerous - you see. Nettles, or tobacco, or ferns, or cactus - especially. That's why we have told him to take it out west, you see! There's plenty of them that haven't had anything but life even through their thirst for a long time!
15. (Q) What personal preparation will help me to be more sensitized to the patient and instrument? (A) Very much the manner that has ever been for the initiates or the higher sensitized natures or activity. PURIFY SELF! mentally, physically, and not that these become mere rote - but that as the intuitive influences of self give as necessary for the immediate action at that time. Hence, as given, more readily may it be seen how that in giving out through the use of the Infinite forces in such an instrument, where there is being called into same - as it were - those influences and forces that make for a radiation or activity of the influences in self's experience, it heals self in healing others. Then, a natural consequence when - as seen; for if self is purified, if self is consecrated to a service of constructive influences, how may any other come into self's own experience? BEAUTIFUL, if followed and kept sincere in the necessary qualifying of self - and especially in that which indicates to self being qualified. Never when anger, resentment, hate or any of the influences have torn - as it were - the emotions of the body, attempt to use such an instrument - or do so to self's undoing. For, when there is given into the hands of a soul such an influence that may be so effective upon the minds, the souls, the bodies of others, one takes hold on such with - as has been termed - fear and trembling, but fear and trembling in this sense or connection means rather doing so with the freewill of self making the desires and the outcome in accord with the sources of the supply that aids. That's beautiful, if it's kept properly. For, Beauty is a thing, a condition, an experience, being that which it should be.
16. (Q) Does my dieting help or prayer? (A) Both.
17. (Q) Does meat affect one's spiritual understanding? (A) If there is that consciousness in self that it is affected. But rather, as the conditions, the experiences, the surroundings of each soul become spiritualized; for "It
443-6 Page 6
is not that which goeth into a man that defileth him but that which cometh out." But to attempt, where the bloodstream - where the body- building forces of the nature's warriors within self have been builded for generations, those that have required the stability or stamina of meat - to relieve self of same entirely is to take from the revivifying influences of that body. For, spirituality by the flesh is as the spiritual life in its essence, a growth.
18. (Q) Can healing be instantaneous or is it always progressive? (A) The NATURAL bent is progressive, but this does not indicate it may not be instantaneous. For, as the operator progresses in the experience, to be every whit whole in any way, either in self or the one being treated, is to be IMMEDIATELY healed. But, as has been always - and ever shall be, the progress, or the maintaining of that attained is through growth. For, to be healed immediately and then be separated and gradually lose self - how has it been given as of old? He that looketh, and he that has gained the concept of the spirit of the influences in the Infinity and turns back - the last estate of that man is worse than the first! So, as each individual and each operator that sets about to use those influences, when you have once put your hands to the plow and then turn back - "He that looketh back is worse than the infidel."
19. (Q) Is copper the best positive conductor of etheronic and aluminum the best negative conductor? (A) Copper is the best positive, but nickel is the better negative of etheronic conductor. For, as seen by the experimentations that have been seen in aluminum, that which comprises its elements - in the act of etheronic influence upon - is to make for a tendency for disintegration that is not the better; while in nickel it comprises such influences that these would become better elements in the etheronic control.
20. (Q) Would it be better to have wound the aluminum coils with nickel wire? (A) They are the better.
21. (Q) When center dial is tuned to zero are forces entering and being radiated at a minimum or maximum? (A) At a minimum.
22. (Q) Do we understand correctly that right hand dial as described in previous information refers to the one on the right of the one facing and operating the machine? (A) On the right of one facing and operating machine.
443-6 Page 7
23. (Q) Give a detailed description of how the right hand dial should be used in relation to astrological conditions? (A) As indicated, when there is being determined from the smear of the operator - or from the operator - for the period - there is gained for self that vibration necessary for the astrological influences at that time. This, then, has been given - see?
24. (Q) How many layers of permaloy be used in suggested connection with aerial and machine? (A) Sufficient to make the proper connections with the metals or glass, dependent (that is to be encased around, see?) - dependent, then, as to how many layers as to how large or the manner in which these in their various forms are set, see, in between.
25. (Q) Should the layers be separated by layers of bakelite? (A) Would be more efficient.
26. (Q) What should be the dimensions of these layers? (A) As just given before. Would we vibrate with these again? How are the various forms to form the surrounding that is to build up that concentrated of the influence? These would be in accordance with just how large, just how long, or just what is necessary to complete the circle for the socket in which it is to be set, see? Whether it's to be large enough so it would be something like two inches in diameter or as to whether the size of the carbon and the manner in which it is to be inserted is to fit to the smaller size. Then, these may be made uniform - or may be made to fit the various necessities.
27. (Q) Should the carbon touch just the top layer or go through the layers? (A) If inserted so it touches the second layer, would be the more preferable way and manner.
28. (Q) How large should the carbon aerial be? (A) The longer the more preferable in ordinary circumstance; not so that it becomes inconvenient, see? In diameter that to the half is sufficient, or even smaller if better to be - or easier to be obtained.
29. (Q) What shape? Should it be fan-shaped? (A) Not necessarily a fan-shape. It may be only the point, or points, see?
30. (Q) How does the polarization of the permaloy affect the operation of the instrument? (A) The polarization should always be that as the polarization to the circuit at the time of the application. That is, there is not the true north and south at the various periods of their movement of the earth through its course about the sun, but the TRUE polarization - or true
443-6 Page 8
east-west, true north-south, should be maintained in its operation, see? Hence the sitter, or the one using the machine, would be facing - FACING the true east. We most look for all from the east, yes.
31. (Q) Would the north pole of the permaloy be adjacent to true south pole? (A) To true south pole.
32. (Q) Information received through [Mr. [317] via automatic writing] - last night indicated that the following system of numbers on the right hand dial should be applied to the body - 1 to 25 head and mind, 25 to 49 thorax; 50 to 74 abdomen; 75 to 100 limbs. Is this correct? (A) At times it will be correct and at times it will be very far wrong! The application of the numbers, or in reaching - as is seen, or as given, there is the variation between the sex numbers. The male, the twenty-three. The female, twenty-eight. As to what the varied points to make for application will be reached between the dialing of self, or the operator, for its own better vibrations at the time, see? Then, as to the various numbers for the various portions of the body to be affected, will be reached by making or finding that necessary for the individual at its own particular period. To set as a varied or as certain numbers for certain portions is to say that the same thing is always the matter with the thorax or the body or the feet! Is that true? In the action then of the necessary vibrations, these will vary according to that which has been changed - or that which must be neutralized that has produced the variations.
