Time of Reading 4:30 to 4:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Continue information given thru this channel for [1135] on Mental Telepathy on April 9, 1936, under the following suggestion: Consider the intent and desire of [1135] to conduct specific experiments with the view of enlarging our understanding of thought transference (Mental Telepathy). Advise regarding the best procedure to follow, including basic principles and suggestions for properly conducting the individual experiments.)
1. EC: Yes.
1. In attempting to send a mental impression is it best that the sender hold a picture of the word or impression to be transferred or hold the name of the image or impression in mind. What would be the easiest symbols to send. Do you recommend any special type of symbol or impression for experimental purposes.
2. What part does the time element play in transference of thought. What part do physical surroundings, position of the body, and condition of the physical body play in transference of thought.
2. Then, as the physical or pathological and mental conditions have been given, in what manner would or should be the procedure in understanding or applying such laws to be studied or to be contacted?
2. Regarding telepathy:
3. Explain what takes place when a thought passes from one mind to another.]
3. That the phenomenon is of the high mental forces, or what may be termed the superconscious forces; and not using the ordinary means but that such conditions found to be existent in specific individuals are ATTUNED to the various forms or manners of giving manifestations of same. Then these may not be tested for their efficiency or for their value in the practical experience in your test tubes or other ordinary means or measures, but must be upon the basis or direction in which these take their bent or trend.

4. For an illustration:
5. You find an artiste that is musical; with the ear and sense forces given for the application in the use of some specific instrument. Do you give one that's playing a horn piano lessons? or piano lessons to one that plays the violin?
6. Not that these are not kindred. Not that these are not in accord. But the expression, the ability to move those forces that manifest themselves, comes through their PARTICULAR phase of expression and manner.
7. Thus in seeking these, find first, take first, those of the pathological; then their correlations with the sincerity or the honesty of the individual and their correlated effects or activity in the spiritual force. Then follow these in their varied channels. And there may be found, there may be discovered in many much that is not only worthy of acceptation but that will make for the abilities of many - that have been attempted to be made into this or that in the developing of their activities through their expression in a given experience - to find THEMSELVES and thus give expression to that which is in the INNER sense the telepathic communication of their real selves to that in another realm or material realm.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Please explain what is meant by the ratio of those cycles about each of the red blood corpuscles is one to three? How determined? (A) By taking the blood itself of individuals and making that count as to what is the protoplasmic cellular force given off by such individuals.
10. (Q) The one to three refers to what relationship? (A) Positive and negative cycle forces about each atomic structure in the blood cell itself.
11. (Q) What is referred to by the body-vibratory forces 87 and 7/10? How may this be determined? (A) The number of the pulsations or the opening and shutting forces of the coordinating of the blood supply between lung, heart and liver.
12. (Q) How may that be determined? (A) Count it, as it acts through the system!
13. (Q) In order to gain a better understanding of this subject [1135] has proposed in a letter from him under date of April 26th - * (A) (Interrupting) Then let him do something about it! We are THROUGH! Copy to Hugh Lynn Cayce

" " Ass'n file * [following portion of 13-Q not asked due interruption: "a copy of which I hold in my hand, that an experiment be undertaken through this channel and under the observation of professors from Columbia University. a. Observation of any experiment suggested through this channel. (or) b. Undertake an experiment devised by [1135]."] [Questions submitted which did not get asked: As indicated [1135] proposes not to connect the name of Cayce or the Association with the results if we so desire at this time. He feels that this step will lead to considerable light on this subject and the possibility of him being able to devote more time to a direct study of this work, in connection with Duke University activities.
