1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3426].

3. Now as we find, there are definite disturbances that are causing many of those unusual reflex activities to the mental body as well as the organic reactions that become disturbing to the body.

4. These are produced from an injury to the coccyx end of the spine. This has formed a reflex in the brain center that makes for the disorders, lapses of the activity - almost amnesia, but it is not altogether of that nature - merely the semblance of same at times.

5. If these pressures to the coccyx are corrected, we find that those conditions will disappear that have occurred in various other portions of the body, in reflexes to the activity of organs.

6. We find that these should be corrected by a chiropractor or an osteopath who would make the proper adjustments in those areas.

7. There should not be required more than six or eight adjustments, if done properly. Other portions of the spine should be coordinated with the corrections made in the coccyx end of the spine; especially the 1st, 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th cervicals.

8. After at least four or five of the corrections have been made (not before), we would begin using for one hour each day the Radio-Active Appliance to equalize distribution of energies and circulation through the body. Use such periods for the deep meditation.

9. Do that.

10. Ready for questions.

3426-1 Page 2

11. (Q) What caused my landing in the hospital in Feb. 1941? (A) Read what we have just given.

12. (Q) Was I discharged too soon from the hospital after my accident in spring of 1942? (A) Not necessarily. Needn't have been in the hospital for this condition which has caused or induced the disturbance.

13. (Q) Does exertion bring on my trouble? (A) Yes, activities - for it brings about greater pressures on the whole cerebrospinal nervous system.

14. (Q) I have been studying ship drafting since August 1943 and have about finished my course. Will my physical condition prevent me from obtaining work in this line, or holding on to job after I get it? (A) Not unless nothing is done about the physical condition! If something is done about it, this should not prevent. If nothing is done about it, along the lines suggested, then you won't do much at shipbuilding or anything else that requires physical or mental activities.

15. (Q) Can you tell me what the Government records show is my trouble and what became of all my papers that were lost? (A) We haven't the Government records - we have the body! Do these things as we have indicated and in the mental application of self construct that which is spiritually creative. Apply that in the life, in the daily dealings with others.

16. We are through with this Reading. Two copies to Self (one for the chiropractor or osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one chosen.) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing " " Mrs. [2990] (See article [which was enclosed] regarding the Radio-Active Appliance.)
