Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.J. (Body and enquiring mind - Questions regarding health, mental and material affairs)
1. EC: We have the body here, [992]; this we have had before. In the physical forces of the body we find there are changes. In some respects these conditions would appear to be aggravated at the time, from that of retraction in the system, yet these are - as we find - being put in a position where the conditions may be PERMANENTLY relieved. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Are the osteopathic treatments being administered properly? Are there any suggestions for same? (A) These are very good in the present.
3. (Q) How often should they be taken? (A) At least two to three times each week.
4. (Q) Are there any recommendations for the diet, other than that which is being followed? (A) These as are being followed are very good in the present. As there are the necessities for the changing of that as is assimilated, and the elements for same, we would change same. In the present these are very good. Let there be a tendency towards that of the vegetables being such as carry those of arsenic or such cleansing forces in the system, which are of the SILICON derivatives - see?
5. (Q) What are these vegetables, or those that carry these properties? (A) Onions, leeks, lentils, spinach, carrots (especially raw); the more of these that are taken raw, the better it would be.
6. (Q) What causes that tired, listless, depressed feeling upon arising each morning, and what can be done to overcome it? (A) Gradually cleansing the system from those poisons as have been left as drosses in the system. In those conditions as exist in the body as has been given, those forms of abrasions or conditions as arise from an element in the blood supply that is produced as these, from infection in some portion of the system, that acts upon the effluvia
992-2 Page 2
in the blood as to produce a specific nature OF abrasions, comes from those of the soft tissue in the antrum and nasal portions of body, COMBINED with those at times from the digestive organs or system. These occur when ACUTE conditions arise; that is, the aiding in the condition from the digestive organs. These then become as whelks, or as scaly portions. In the activities of the body, these then take the vitality of the system. Hence the tired, LISTLESS feelings as occur, when there SHOULD be more of the rest feeling. In adding to the system that that will assist in eliminating same, we would find that a little later - that is, when the weather has changed to more of an equalized nature - for pressure - we would use Balsam of Sulphur as a massage along the spine, to aid in this elimination from the system, those properties that cause these distresses in the lymph and in the capillary circulation.
7. (Q) What causes the pains and weakness in arms and hand, and what can be done for this condition? (A) Keep on doing that as has been outlined!
8. (Q) Will the Forces suggest a local application for the speedy and complete removal of psoriasis patches all over the body? (A) Let's get at the base of the condition, if we would make a COMPLETE removal of the conditions! These may NOT be done speedily, for the CAUSES must be removed, else we will have a continued return of the condition. The eliminations as set, or by those activities in the manipulative forces with those properties as given into the system - and later with those applications as may be given, as just outlined - will make for a removal of these splotches.
9. (Q) What can be done to prevent recurrence of the violent headaches the body used to suffer from, and is now subject to? (A) Equalize the eliminations of the body, so that stresses may be removed - as is being done through those suggestions as have been, and are being given for the correction of the pressures as are produced in the system. See?
10. (Q) Is my lack of physical energy, and my depressed nervous mental state, due to business fears and apprehensions? (A) These only aid, or are contributing causes TO the apprehension and fear. Will the body have these CONDITIONS physically removed, and with the ORDINARY precautions as come from the abilities of the body, these then would be as MOUNTING the obstacles as exist - see?
11. (Q) Would the Forces suggest an immediate change to another locality and in different surroundings and a
992-2 Page 3
different business? (A) Not under the existent CIRCUMSTANCES.
12. (Q) Will the Forces suggest in what line my capabilities can be most fruitful materially and spiritually? (A) In the abilities as are had by the body in controlling or directing, or suggestive forces for individual activities; that is, as is seen, the body may EASILY - by its own individuality, or personality, so impress individuals as to make of their mental reaction a booster, or one that makes for those of the reactions that cause melancholia. The activities then of the body, that the directions may be given, is such that THESE may not be abused and LONG be successful materially, but used properly become a BOOSTER for self as well as for others. Hence in the present particular line of work offers an excellent opportunity for the body, but DO NOT take self or individuals - as is ORDINARILY termed - TOO seriously. Not as a joke, but do not allow self or people to become burdens upon self - see? Not that the responsibilities should be left in others' hands, but rather that they are met as a matter of fact in the suggestions as are given individuals for their handling of THEIR problems, and in the suggestions given to others there comes to self THAT ability to handle self's OWN problems; but these taken in such a way and manner as that the BURDEN of the world is upon self - or, "Well, it doesn't make any difference, let the other fellow do it!" - won't get the body anywhere!
13. (Q) If advisable for me to remain in employ of Hotel ..., will the Forces give suggestions for the betterment of business conditions for me? (A) In applying just that as has been GIVEN will be seen that this will make for that force that will not only increase business, but make the business a pleasure to self and to others!
14. (Q) Will the Forces suggest how the body should cooperate with his brother [...] in this business? (A) There has long been differences as have existed. Iron THESE out, and then they may be made much better!
15. That is all the questions for this body.
