Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Fla.
1. MD: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [527], who is at ..., Fla., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to the improving of his health, and his mental and material affairs. After giving the present physical condition of this body, with further suggestions for improvement, you will then answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [527]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are some changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. While not all of these changes show for decided improvements, in so far as the suggestions that were given for the correction - and for the improvement - were followed (not as rote, but as activative forces in assisting for recuperative measures in the general physical functionings), these do show improvements.
4. Then, as we would find, all those measures that are outlined in the information - particularly respecting the physical functioning of a body - should be followed as suggested; and nothing less and nothing more, if there is to be expected the results that are given for that specific body.
5. As to material or mental conditions, that deal with the idiosyncrasies of individuality or personality, these may vary. For, as we have indicated, no one may tell what an individual may do with its own will; for these are those influences that are either the saving or the secular or the activative forces that tend to make for an expression of Life itself through that particular channel.
6. In this body we find, while the general health in the present surroundings is helpful, as we have indicated - while altitude or environment is a factor, these conditions that have been outlined for the body may be followed under ANY environment and the body still remain active in the

daily affairs of the life.
7. Hence, as we would give in the present, we would not alter those applications that were given, either as to those forces that were to be active with the physical reactions through the medications (or the inhalations and activities of the body) or the measures for the building of digestive forces in the activity of this body.
8. And if these are kept for a specific period that was indicated, there may be such definite changes that there may be given those things further that would be necessary or helpful in bringing a normal reaction in the body.
9. That the respiratory system is helped in the present environ is well. Hence, as we find, it would be well that the body REMAIN in the present activity, in the present surroundings, and make those connections and associations that will enable the body for the present (or for at least the next six to eight weeks, before any sort of a change might be contemplated) to correct the physical condition; thus making the proper associations possible.
10. So, after eight to ten weeks of carrying out the suggestions already given, we would then give for the physical forces further directions for this body, [527].
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What are the prospects for my being successful, should I remain in the advertising business? (A) Very good. If the efforts are put in these directions in the present environ and surrounding, it would be well. As we find, the qualifications are good. The general conditions are improving; the general conditions in this particular vicinity and in the various accounts that may be had by the body, not only here but in other surroundings - FROM this particular vicinity. Hence, as we find, it should be able to make a success. To be sure, this depends upon the activity. SUCCESS in a financial way and manner depends upon the manner in which an individual applies self with the abilities and makes for coordination of all factors pertaining to such an activity or association.
13. (Q) Is there any particular branch, such as promotional advertising, hotel advertising, which would be more advisable? (A) The promotional, or the activities as of taking special products and conditions - whether it be in the hotel or in products of various firms, as some of the accounts that are held. With any of these the system works the same way and manner.
14. (Q) Do you see that I will ever be associated with my father in his business? (A) Well, this is a question. No, we do not see that this
527-2 Page 3
will or will not; for these deal rather with futures and with circumstances that will deal with the personalities of those that have caused entanglements that have prevented this association; also as to whether the body would WILL to make for associations with the other portion of self's house - or with the wife's relations.
15. (Q) Would it be advisable to join my wife's parents in their business? (A) Not in the present. Let's get well first!
16. (Q) Any further helpful suggestions as to just what is best for me? (A) It is best for this body that there be followed, in a systematic activity, that which will make for the abilities of the physical forces to be able to function the better in the present environs and present surroundings; being consistent, being persistent in those things that have been outlined, and in ten weeks we may give further instructions.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
