(Q) What should I do to prevent being overtired mentally and
physically?
(A) As has been given oft regarding the mental and physical
efficiency of the body, as the mental and physical is
gradually being used in the mental and physical exertions,
those little nagging conditions use up more and more vitality
of the body - and these, through the mental, make for more
and more the tired conditions from physical or mental
exertions. While the activities are in progress the body is
well, active, and as quick in thought mental and physical as
ever, but the responses are such that with the let-down, as
it were, the body lags or collapses, in the deficiency of
VARIATION in the mental and material and physical aspects to
be able to allow the inaction to take all the vitality out.
As in the following condition: Unless, as the vitality is
taken up through mental activity, the changing of thought can
interest and call for a resting of the portion of the senses
of the system, the vitality is used up - but the body should
be able to rest by listening to music, or by seeing other
conditions, or by change of thought for the SENSING of
recuperation for the body! This is what has been preached to
the body now for ten, fifteen, twenty years! Now we are
finding the conditions carrying out that which has been
given!
The body should be able to find relaxation in sitting down
and reading a good book, but he can't at present - because
too many other things crowd in! The body should be able to
walk for a period, see the beauties in nature, and find rest
from the material and physical attributes of the body. The
body should be able to see a picture and be able to obtain
from same STRENGTH - that is put out by the activating forces
of those enacting that being depicted, in whatever manner it
may be presented. These are the conditions. How shall we
overcome them?
Step by step, as has been given, FORCE self to INTEREST self
in the various conditions about the body. Hence, as has been
given, the quicker way, the greater response, physically and
mentally, may be found by the perfect relaxation in
meditation - and don't fool self as to meditation not telling
how the activating should be under various conditions! Don't
fool the conscience, but act upon that received from time to
time, and we will find the physical body will respond. To
work over contracts, agreements, sales organizations,
activities of peoples, physically and mentally, should be
able to be laid aside - and work like the dickens in playing
a game of golf and it rests the body! Not that the body is
old, not that the body is running out of strength or
vitality, but all its eggs are put in one basket!
(Q) Hasn't the body improved its attitude in the past few
months, on the advice of the Forces?
(A) Direction is right, but the general trend is still to
fall back into the old ways.
(Q) What benefit have I received by my stay at beach?
(A) About ten years of longevity to the body!
(Q) What will aid me now to keep this condition on my return
to N.Y.?
(A) Diversity of subjects of interest. As given, there is a
VERY good pattern in an associate or friend of the body, who
has made for those activities through forcing self to
interest self - as Kuminsky [?] or Ouspinsky [?].
(Q) Rupinsky, of Westinghouse Co.?
(A) Of Westinghouse Co. There is a division each and every
individual should make, as given. Each should budget their
time, and don't infringe one on another! When it is time to
pray, pray - let business go to thunder! It will make more
business! Invite your associate to pray with you when the
time comes! Be wonderful the changes that may come! When it
is time to walk, invite your associates. If they laugh at
you, laugh with them! In ALL the activities these will be
the more helpful. Think of the many wonders surrounding the
body, in its associations, that people come for miles - yea,
thousands of miles - to see, that the body has never seen!
(Q) What caused breaking out around waist? Give relief for
same.
(A) Little soda water inside and out will be well.
Overacidity.
(Q) What will relieve strain at back of neck?
(A) Change of exercise and change of views, change of
activities generally - and the head and neck exercise
consistently taken. It won't cure it once, but -
(Q) What can I do to keep mentally alert and to keep back
any fear of failing in my ability to succeed in my new plans?
(A) Trust more and more in the intuitive forces, that will
be the directing power through that received in the
meditation with thy Maker.
(Q) Why do I go to sleep so quickly when I begin the
meditation?
(A) Perfect relaxation. There is gradually the taking hold
by the inner forces, or inner powers of the body. Train, or
set self to retain more and more that which is experienced
through such sleep, or such loss of consciousness; for
activation is taking place. Remember, the heart doesn't stop
beating because you are asleep. The brain doesn't stop
acting because you are asleep. Remember all forces; for
sleep is as a SENSE of the whole system, and is the great
recuperating force. When considered in the same manner, the
senses of touch, of seeing, of hearing, of feeling, of all
the forces within self, are just as helpful in bringing
recuperation, if the diversions are in such a way and manner
acted upon to rebuild rather than to destroy all force or
strength in the physical body - see? So, in the activating
of that sense of sleep, the auditory forces - or those that
come through feeling and hearing (which are on guard before
the thrones then), then harken to that which is received,
even as listening to the program of the best salesman you
have sent out! for it IS the best! for it's before the
Throne!
(Q) Should I at this time invest in Armour Bonds?
(A) We would not advise it. They have not been set yet on a
perfect basis for the come-back the associations in this
undertaking deserve. Remember, these have been trained - or,
in common parlance, milked - by some of those who organized
same.
(Q) Philipps Petroleum?
(A) This would be very good, but it will be for a long time
before.
(Q) What utility stock is it advisable for me to buy to
bring profit for immediate returns?
(A) Most any of the utility stocks that are already on a
paying basis; that is, that their dividends have not been
curtailed beyond the earning powers of the stocks themselves,
see? Not those that have been kept boosted; for instance, as
in Case or International Harvester, that have been kept
boosted for purposes of the larger shareholders in same, but
those that show - in Tel & Tel, as in Allied Chemical, as in
many of those - Radio - or any of those where the activating
forces are such that their valuations in the present, or
quotations of valuations, are acted upon by the general
conditions, while their earning capacities or powers are as
well as they ever were, or as may be in Sears - or as in
Macy, or in any of those.
(Q) Is this the time to buy Radio Corporation stock?
(A) If you can put it away and forget it!
(Q) Is there any stock I could buy now for a 20 point gain
in next two weeks?
(A) It would be questionable in many of them. Some few
might be obtained, but we wouldn't advise it under the
existing conditions. To buy stocks under the present market,
buy them and forget you ever had them!
(Q) How long will present market continue to go up?
(A) About three weeks before election.
(Q) When will there be another serious deflation in present
stock prices?
(A) About December 1st, or November 29th to December 1st.
(Q) Considering Detroit activity, also Drug, Inc., and
friends of Gen. McRoberts, what should I do now to put Paris
Medicine sale thru?
(A) First we would advise with McRoberts and associates.
Then reduce that, as it were, to writing. Then compare this
with that which has been given regarding the general
conditions. Then work them out!
(Q) Has the price changed, that will be the final price for
entire co.?
(A) Just about that as first given - about sixteen to
eighteen.
(Q) Reference [
257] Corp. please advise me for the most
important matters to take care of on my return to N.Y.
(A) Those that have been pressing with some of the
associates that will need the final touches or adjustments
from self. These would be the first. These refer to some
old associations and connections that are asking that their
status or position be more definitely outlined in the
present. The body will understand how to meet these as the
situations arise, for they will change as the days and weeks
go by.
(Q) Will Jos. Gerl be valuable to me in this new associa-
tion?
(A) Don't find Jos. Gerl.
(Q) He is now attached to the Zerozone Co.
(A) Be very well if the associations in some other
directions are entirely obliterated. Be very good.
(Q) Considerable discussion as to the best name for
refrigerators has occurred. What name would meet with public
acceptance just as Kahnstant Kooler is used on water coolers?
(A) Kahnstant Refrigeration would be well.
(Q) Spelled with a K or Con?
(A) K.
(Q) There's been some thought that the Jewish name might
affect the sales.
(A) Should be helpful, rather than detrimental.
(Q) Is Commonwealth, Iceland, Imperial, a good name?
(A) Any of these, or combination of these. Kahnstant, as we
find, would be the better.
(Q) In what branch of refrigerator business will I be able
to be most successful by giving my personal attention in next
60 days?
(A) In those where there is being readjustment for
governmental associations. Where re-financing of and
reconstruction in all the various places, forts, ships, and
the like, in this direction may these be placed in the
present, or included in the present, for these changes. In
all camps, in all forts, in all the replenishing, in all the
ship-buildings, all the government places where there has
been the financing for the better equipping, let this be
included in it - let these go through the channels where
there is required in the war departments, or that known as
the commissary department by the body, and those that go
through the same sort of channels for the shipping boards,
the navy, and all the forts in like way and manner.
(Q) Will Alfred Wilson be able to assist us in Washington?
(A) Be very able to assist.
(Q) What plan will aid [
257] to sell boxes to Westinghouse
for Truscon Steel Co. this season?
(A) This plan may be worked out with the friend. Though he
is in other departments, other ends, it can be worked out
through him also.
(Q) What friend do you refer to?
(A) One told to follow!
(Q) Please give [
257] proper words for his period of
meditation?
(A) This has been given. Follow this, and - as the changes
come, with the periods of meditation have some period of that
time in reading the law that has been given, and as these
come in their various promises, remember there will be given
thee that thou shalt say from day to day, for God of thy
fathers be with thee yet lest ye forget.
We are through.
