1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: (In going back over the years from the present - " - '30 - yes, disturbing - '28 - '29 - better - '26 - " etc., on back to birth date.)
3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2291].
4. In giving the interpretations of the records through the astrological and material sojourns, there may be drawn from these in the present experience that which if applied may become a helpful thing for this entity.
5. As we find from the records here in the present, merely to give astrological urges, or even a summary or list of the material sojourns, might mean very little to the entity, - unless that which has been and is a part of the present experience of the entity were taken into consideration.
6. For, the past astrological and material sojourns have so little bearing under the present existent conditions.
7. Rather had this information been sought rather from the Mental and Physical Reading, so that there might have been an interpretation or an analysis of the emotions and the influences which bear upon the body.
8. Not that there are not the abilities, nor the qualities that would make for an excellent executive - even - in any department that would have to deal with facts and figures. For these become a part of the entity's experience, as they have been through the material sojourns in the earth.

9. Hence the very emotional natures of the body, as combined with the physical conditions and pressures as we find existent, make for periods in which the body-mind is not itself; and thus it does not even do that which the body-mind has proposed, is destined, or has intended to do or to have as a part of the activity or experience of the entity.
10. Not that the entity or body is possessed of disincarnate entities, but there are those pressures upon the sensory organisms that, combined with especially the emotional nervous system, tend to confuse the body as to its place, its position, or as to its purposes and intents.
11. Thus those conditions arise as problems, in which the body in its own appetites, its own activities, its own physical ways, has been carried away, or has been amiss.
12. These, then, are the influences as we find that need the greater attention.
13. This as we find, still, may be done best through that of psycho-therapy; that is:
14. First we would begin by making osteopathic adjustments in the physical forces of the body, of the subluxations which exist in the 3rd, 4th cervical, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, and the coccyx. We would make these in series of some twelve to sixteen adjustments CONSISTENTLY taken.
15. These subluxations have come through PHYSICAL conditions that were existent.
16. Then, after the osteopathic adjustments have been made, we would have two, three to four experiences in which there would be the subjugation of the physical consciousness of the entity; in such a way and manner as may be done under the direction of such as Garrett or Kuhn, or these combinations.
17. Thus we would find quite a different capacity for the activities to be brought forward in such a manner that those conditions which are a part of the entity's experience from the former earthly sojourns may be made applicable for the entity.
18. Then, do those things first; the first things first.
19. And - those who are responsible for this entity - know that God is not mocked, but has given each soul that has manifested the opportunities not only for self but those souls entrusted to self's keeping, that ye may become channels of blessings to others.
20. In the application of those things indicated, be sincere, prayerful and earnest. Thus ye will find the outlook of the entity upon life, its principles, its duties, its obligations, will be changed - yea, there will be even

the abilities of the entity to accomplish those things whereunto it has been given the opportunity for expression.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath.
