interest to work now?
(A) That in which the activity of Morris is to carry on in

other associations than with the Metropolitan, for these

(A) Make the success in any of those activities, provided

screen which they are financing. How can I avoid going into

should I now proceed to reopen the matter?
(A) Through those same associations and channels in which it
has been approached by those who are in the position of being

made in the way and manner satisfactory for self.
(Q) Please analyze my development, mentally, spiritually and
materially during past 3 mos. and advise me what best now to
do to further improve my ability and approach to further my
general equilibrium?
(A) As has so oft been given, find self and analyze what
prompts the impulses in the various directions of activity.
Not alone have these been, nor should anyone's activity alone
be - for the IMMEDIATE alone, or for the sustenance even of
life as physical alone, but rather know that the self must be
guided by that which is ever constructive in the experiences
of all who are being guided, aided or contacted through each
activity. For unless same is ever constructive in each phase
of the activity it must eventually turn and rend thee. Look
into thine whole seven-eight years of associations and see
what has been the prompting formula of thine own self in
thine associations. To follow the lead, to be guided by the
lead, or has it been for self-exaltation that there might be
boastfulness here, there, or in this manner, or that self
might be exalted in some position irrespective of who was
affected by those activities in other directions? Then, as
ye know that like begets like, as ye know what seed ye sow ye
will reap the fruit of that sown; for men do not gather figs
from thistles nor grapes from briars.
(Q) As to my physical welfare, what is necessary now to do
to further aid this?
(A) Keep an even, normal balance in diet of body, diet of
mind, and the use and associations of same in every way; for
as a man thinketh in his heart (not as he speaks, but as he
thinketh in his heart) so is he. So, keep the body fit, keep
the mind fit. Do not allow little antagonisms of body OR
mind to undo that thou hast builded in thine experience.
(Q) Shall I continue Atomidine?
(A) Occasionally.
(Q) How many more treatments from Reilly are necessary, and
what type?
(A) How many more times are you going to do much of that
you've been doing? Depends upon how many times you are
inconsistent with what you eat and what you do; because
you'll need a treatment each time!
(Q) Should I continue Citro-Carbonate?
(A) When necessary.
(Q) What exercise best for next 6 weeks.
(A) Walking.
(Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
(A) Study to show thyself approved unto the Creative
Influences that guide and direct thee to keep thyself CLEAN
in body, in mind.
We are through.
