Time of Reading New York City. 4:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [5595], present in this room. You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading for this body, with suggestions, advice and counsel for the betterment of any of these, and answer the questions he will ask.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [5595], present in this room. Now, we find in the physical forces of the body those conditions of which the body should take warning, that the better physical and mental conditions may function THROUGH the body at this time. There are those disturbances, while not acute - save at periods - in the present, that may be easily corrected in the present, while are they allowed to become such as to be the effects of a system attempting to adjust itself under abnormalities in the functioning, will make constitutional conditions that would be aggravating and harder to eliminate later on. These, as we find in the present, are a specific nature in some respects, but the effects - or the affectations as are PRODUCED from same - are FUNCTIONAL in their aspects.
3. These, then, are conditions physical as we find with this body, [5595] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows for the disturbance as BEING of a definite or specific nature, the red blood being deficient in some periods; at others near normal, as also an excess in the white or the leucocyte of the supply.
5. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, here again we find, while the body in many respects may be called ABOVE that of a nervous temperament, yet gradually wearing upon the nervous system must sooner or later make for disorders, that while they may take MANY a different turn, this dependent upon that which would produce or cause an acute condition under the existent disturbances.
6. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY THEMSELVES, these functioning under some strain in specific directions, find that in the attempt to adjust itself to lack of elements as are necessary in various portions of the system to replenish
5595-1 Page 2
used or disturbed functioning, are ORGANICALLY at times deranged in their functioning; as we see in the heart's action, not an organic disorder, but rather that of the nervous rebellion to an abnormal pulsation IN the HEPATIC circulation; as in lung or respiratory system there are periods of shortness of breath, or feeling of fullness in the lower portion of lung is felt. This NOT a disorder, but rather that of reflection of the specific condition existent in the ascending colon area, where we have a plethora, or engorgement of the colon proper. Hence these activities are seen in the functioning of the HEPATIC circulation, the liver, the PANCREAN area, these are symptoms - not causes; and will there be removed those disorders in this region there will be a better blood supply, for less toxic forces will be manifest, more normal activity through the glands of the system, more normal will be the functioning of the kidneys AND of eliminations in the intestinal system.
7. These, as we find, would be eliminated in the present, PREFERABLY, by the use of the high irrigations, as will remove the toxic forces from colon, as well as allowing the system to adjust itself to the conditions. With the same, we would take rather that of the massage than of adjustments, that make for the capillary and external circulation, with the applying of those vibrations of the electrical low vibration, or the cardiac plexus area, with the lumbar plexus area, would create an equalized vibration as to make for normal conditions for this body. Do that.
8. In the applications there should be those taken (the irrigations) about twice each month at first, until four are taken; then one every one or two months. The massage should be about twice each week, with the vibrations of the sinusoidal - or such vibration - about ONCE each week, until five or six are taken.
9. In the matter of the diet, be mindful that these then toward those of a less ACID diet, and we will find the physical and the mental will function near normal.
10. In the mental abilities of the body, much might be said as respecting the associations of that of the MENTAL being. These tending in certain directions are well not to become pigeon-holed into a one-track mind, or thought; for these must eventually become IRRITATING to the body and when the mental being has just begun to find itself, its surroundings, its associations, in near that to which may bring that as has been sought, take care of what you have!
11. In the spiritual forces, take time that that already known in self has the OPPORTUNITY to find expression; for "What profit it a man to gain the whole world and lose his
5595-1 Page 3
own soul?" Take TIME to be holy.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is the hosiery clocking corporation the right work or me? If not, what? (A) This has been indicated by that as just given, that when it's begun to find itself with its proper associations and relations, take time to take care of it!
14. (Q) What are the future prospects of the hosiery clocking business? (A) Many factors, to be sure, enter into considering other other than as a BROAD answer, as to the future of same. There needs be, to be sure, much attention given to the manner in which such produce WOULD be distributed, as in the WAY same is presented to make success - if success is to be considered ONLY from the FINANCIAL view; but, as WE would see, with the PROPER CONSIDERATIONS in these directions, would be well.
15. (Q) Is the sales force now in force the proper ones? (A) These are very good, are there considerations given to what might be termed the odds and ends in the sales force activity. That those of the products are made to be in a general way considered, in the various PORTIONS of the distribution of the product in the various centers. What will appeal in the southwest will not appeal in New England. These may be termed odds and ends, for VARIOUS portions of the distributing of same.
16. (Q) Are our present associations the proper ones? (A) That would be dependent upon which END, or PART of the associations would be considered. As a WHOLE these would speak for themselves, in the RESULTS as ARE being, or is apparent in the undertaking.
17. (Q) Should we consider additional - ? (A) This would depend entirely upon the distribution, and as to how far such is to go. As WE would see and would give, better use that in hand properly than to expand faster, either by other associations or other capital, then the over-burdening in any direction. Use that in hand WELL, and thou can know HOW to use that as may be gained by the efforts of those concerned in same.
18. (Q) Is there any likelihood - (A) No.
19. (Q) Shall we confine ourselves - (A) Confine to the men in the present. With the expansion of the idea, and with the abilities of those in the distribution, these had best be considered later - for all these change, to be sure.
20. (Q) How shall we proceed -
5595-1 Page 4
(A) In this there are many things to be considered. While these are necessary in some ways, that the policies of the associations in the present be carried forward, yet are they SO necessary to jeopardize interest in other directions? Had they not best be worked out be that as may be considered by good business, in give and take in some directions, as may be opened for same?
21. (Q) Is that in reference to final settlement of stock of Torridaire? (A) This is understood by [5595]!
22. (Q) Should we consider entering - (A) This may be considered later. Let's use well that in hand in the present. While these may be made safe in the present, for the developments as will come in the next four or five years, yet these made safe and held in abeyance will be better in the present.
23. (Q) When will the present business conditions better themselves? (A) This is a large order! In considering business conditions, business relations, as has been given - while there ar serious considerations being given to economic conditions throughout the world, those from an astrological viewpoint, from the general necessity of individuals, groups and nations, have ALREADY been set in motion that there be a more STABILIZING in the interests of the peoples as a whole. There is ALREADY the beginning of a more optimistic outlook. This must, as all other economic conditions, mental forces, spiritual aspects, become first a necessity of the mental being of man as he finds himself in the present; then these will gradually be builded. The WORST in some sections of the world has NOT passed. Some already on the upgrade. These, as we find, will GRADUALLY improve.
24. (Q) Will the condition of Mr. [5595]'s mother improve? (A) We haven't the mother! We have Mr. [5595] and associates!
