Time of Reading ... St., 11:00 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Philadelphia, Pa. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks information, advice and guidance, as to his better physical, mental and material welfare. Questions.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [531].
2. In the body-forces [See 531-2], from these mental attitudes, we find that - owing to the disturbances in the glands - small quantities of the Atomidine would be the most helpful, rather than potassiums. The potassiums, as we find, are not as helpful as the iodines. And in this form and manner (as in the Atomidine), the dosage would be one minim in a glass of water before breakfast and before retiring at night; one minim twice each day, you see, for periods of four or five days at a time, then leave off for an equal period, then take again.
3. Also we find it would be most beneficial to the general health to have the general massage and corrections from the thorough osteopathic manipulations, once or twice a week - or two or three times each month.
4. As to the material relationships, we have indicated for this body that the fruits of the earth and their preparations for the fellow man would be the channels through which the greater advancements may be had in this present experience.
5. As we find, there are being made those associations with the organization whereby the body - or the entity - may become more and more the GENERAL representative of the organization in a wider territory than that indicated in the present. While this would necessitate an expansion of the body's activities, it would bring those returns that will be - from the remunerative standpoint and from the monetary point of view - more satisfactory.
6. Also we find that the larger or more exclusive clubs may be used, where the fruits of the vine may be disposed of - that are of the entity's or body's own associations. Not as
531-4 Page 2
a GENERAL way, you see, but EXCLUSIVE orders. Such as the Racquet Club, the Boot and Spur Club, or the more exclusive of such natures. These would be the channels that would be made helpful.
7. As well as an association with or distributing of the particular brand of the vine or tree - the preservings of one in the full South, that may be helpful in making greater associations for the body, see?
8. Also the Tea Biscuit; not as commodities to interfere with the particular activity - but those that would become exclusive for the more EXCLUSIVE organizations through which the body would act.
9. These two associations (for the preserves and the tea biscuits) we would make; which, as we find, would be with two ladies - widows. Merritt - Pharr. [Mrs. Mary B. Merritt, Montgomery, Ala. Mrs. King Pharr, Catherine, Ala.]
10. (Q) Define attribute of health and give guidance. (A) As indicated, there is the lack of proper activity or impulse for activity of the glands in system - and the using of the energies through this lack of activity. And it has been indicated as to what to do.
11. (Q) Could I land the big job with the Biscuit people? Is such an association possible? (A) To become, as indicated, a greater field representative - or to include a much larger territory; requiring the associations of an organization, in a measure, of the body.
12. (Q) Or must I continue in my own business? (A) This has been given. The channels as outlined, we find, would work for most satisfactory arrangements.
13. (Q) Please suggest what to do or not to do regarding Biscuit account. (A) As indicated, carry on.
14. (Q) How can I go about getting other products and agencies in order to increase my income during this year? (A) By making associations with the two agencies indicated, specifically: Preserves from Pharr; Tea Biscuits from Merritt. These with the liqueurs in the specific clubs mentioned, or those TYPES of organizations - in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Newark; in all of these EXCLUSIVE clubs.
15. (Q) With what definite countries should I deal, and with which not deal? (A) As indicated, those which the body represents - or the Latin-American, or the Spanish or Cuban and American. It would be very well for the body to consider, at this specific time, the representing of those very same
531-4 Page 3
properties that are to be taken internally for self - that is, the Atomidine; the distributing of same from America for the entity's OWN countries - or in Cuba, Domingo, Porta Rico, the Isthmus, and the portions of these countries with which the entity would be associated, see?
16. (Q) Regarding my wife and baby, [1228] where shall I go to get insurance that will protect them when I am gone - what type of insurance shall this be? (A) With the Mutual of Philadelphia. [Penn Mutual Life Ins. Co.?] And it should be the type that makes a specific amount for certain periods, or for ten to fifteen years, and then a specific amount for the rest of the life.
17. (Q) What are my outlooks or promises for 1935? (A) In these directions as indicated, most hopeful.
18. (Q) Are my connections well and good now, and my plans in accord with psychic laws or suggestions. (A) We have outlined the plans. The connections here may be used for the furthering of these, as we find, and be in accord with all of the laws - as related to the mental, the material and, naturally, the physical developments. Do those.
19. (Q) Do my associates appreciate my services and the results obtained? (A) If they didn't, there wouldn't be the possibility of expanding the activities! This should answer for itself!
20. (Q) In trying to develop a psychic power, am I to feel that "the mind" dictates to the "soul-spirit" or does the "spirit" or "emotion" dictate to the mind? (A) This depends upon the approach the individual makes to same. The MIND is both of the soul and of the material things. When one enters into the holy of holies, or within self, with the surrounding of self with the spirit of truth - according to the promises made by Him who is to be propitiation for the activities and the associations with divine love in the material manifestations, then the spirit of TRUTH directs as the MIND HOLDS same to that channel, see? To clarify this, let's give an example: A body-mind, through its own self, raises in the mental power that which is for the satisfying of the desires of the flesh, that may find their manifestations in power, in fame, in fortune, in the place of this, that or the other seen before men. This is applying the mind in the EARTHLY realm, see? Then there may be the applying of the mind, HOLDING to that attitude of "Lord, use me as THOU seest fit," you see; seeking only for the material manifestations which may HOLD that in perfect accord with what may be manifested through physical or
531-4 Page 4
material activities of the individual. Then the psychic forces are from those meetings within, in not the aggrandizement of self or self's attributes towards the material of the physical standards, but towards that which is to be the activity of the spirit of truth in Him.
