TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [257], present in this room; also his business associations, personal affairs as concerning his family and associates, his financial affairs, and his physical body. You will answer the questions which we will ask you regarding all of these.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [257] - this we have had before.
3. In respect to the physical conditions of the body, these are very good in many ways - yet some of the warnings as have been given respecting overtaxation of the mental and physical without sufficient of the relaxations, would be well to be heeded, or else there must be the penalty paid for such, and these the body is aware of. Do that. Ready for questions.

   (A) At times it does.
6. (Q) What should body do in next 90 days for exercise and diet?
   (A) Perfect relaxation after the work, and work and play as well. These are the better through this period, and through any other period. When the body has finished the work, leave the work there - not carry it along in the mind continually! Do not shirk responsibilities. Be BIGGER THAN responsibilities. These the body could do by RELAXING sufficiently, so that when that as is necessary to be taken up, is ready for activity.

    (A) These vary so MUCH, that they may not be given as average without going over a great deal of district. Some consist of leads, some in pockets and vary as to their activities; that is, as to their commercial valuation. This would be of commercial worth, though.
39. (Q) What is the average grade of ore?
    (A) Dependent upon - but [257] hasn't anything to do with these; so why give these from the outside! This is only speculative! Let this be set up, if we would give information concerning it that would be worth while! We are through with this portion of it!
