Time of Reading ... Avenue, 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Texas.
1. GC: You will have before you [5598], who is at ... Ave., ..., Texas, and the conditions and circumstances surrounding this body. You will give a mental and physical reading for this body, with suggestions and advice to those who are responsible for the body, as to how both the mental and physical may be perfected. You will answer the questions we will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions as surround this body, also the mental and physical forces of the body. As we find, there are many conditions abnormal, yet many conditions to the body are normal. Many conditions would be considered, were there to be any response in the physical forces, or were there to be any of those responses in the mental as applied to the physical; for we find what would be termed, or would have been termed in many places, as one possessed.
3. In the better applications, then, that, as we find, might be made helpful - and this, as we find, would require one very strong in character, in purpose, in application; one who may SUBJUGATE through hypnosis, or through that of the power of suggestion OVER the physical body. There will be found that this will require time, patience, and persistence. This would have been a much EASIER condition before this last cycle in its development, yet - will there be the persistence - this may be made to be helpful and beneficial. Such an one should have charge of the body's activities, the body's control, the body's mental AND physical control; or such an one in the capacity of a nurse for same, would be the capacity one should occupy; for they should control both the waking and sleeping of the body. It will be found necessary to make MANY of the suggestions in the beginning as the body goes to normal sleep. While it will make same become flitful at times, and make for many struggles from within, these - as we find - offer the ONLY manner for even prospective aid. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Where can such a nurse be found?

(A) It will require many searchings out, but there be many that may be found. Seek if ye would find.
5. (Q) What method can be used to curb mad spells? (A) This same method!
6. (Q) Can he be taught to dress, feed, and care for himself in other respects? (A) If there is ANY response, much may be accomplished through this. If there is no response, little - or none - can be accomplished. It will require patience and persistence. See?
7. (Q) Is there any form of amusement that will interest him? (A) This must be builded. Consider the manner of treatment as outlined! This, as is seen, must be builded within the mental BEING of the body.
8. We are through for the present.
