(Q) Is the body's physical condition improved since last
you had it?
(A) In some respects it has improved; in others not so much.
There have been some indiscretions on the part of the body
as respecting the diet from time to time. This makes for a
return of some disorders.
As we find, these conditions exist in the physical forces of
the body:
There is that tendency, which has been indicated again and
again, for the eliminations to be choked. And in this
period, or through this time of year, with the adjustments
that are necessary for the physical body to make with the
sudden changes in climatic conditions, atmospheric pressures,
the various activities of the body, these - of course - tell
in a sensitive body, as to poisons from congestion and the
like. Also the feet are disturbed, through the plexus in the
4th dorsal area. This makes for an unbalancing, and causes
those pains in the limbs and the feet. This also is the
cause of the disturbances through the alimentary canal, as
has been indicated for the body again and again. It is the
cause also of the pains in the shoulders, in the head, the
phlegm in the throat at times, fullness in the head.
And with sufficient of the ADJUSTMENTS made, as has been
indicated, and the massage and rubdown, these should
disappear.
As a precautionary measure in the eliminations through the
alimentary canal, coordinations of the liver, the kidneys,
clearing the kidneys of the poisons that make for those
pressures about the heart's activity (though it is muscular
and not organic), it would be well for the body to take
Vinol. When an eight to ten ounce bottle of this has been
purchased, pour two tablespoonsful from the bottle and throw
it away - don't try to take it; and in its place add (in a
bottle, you see) a tablespoonful of Essence of Lactated
Pepsin. Shake together before the dose is taken, which would
be a teaspoonful twice each day, before the morning meal and
before retiring. This will act as a stimuli, as an emit, as
a corrector of the circulatory forces. Do not become alarmed
because it increases the activity of the kidneys; this is to
wash or to cleanse same, for the properties of the Buchu
Leaves in this makes for a cleansing in that direction.
Also the quantity of Podophyllum (though in the form here it
is combined in the root extract itself - Mandrake Root, see?)
is to make for a stimulation through the alimentary canal,
and especially in the gall duct area, and will PURIFY the
blood stream BY assisting (in this quantity) the
eliminations; so as not to purge but to produce a laxative
throughout the body.
It would be well for the portions of the exercises that have
been indicated to be taken that make for the cleansing of
the head and neck of the poisons. These are helpful. Not
too much of those that would expand upon the activity of
OTHER portions, but the head, neck and arms.
(Q) The body has refrained from meats. What should his
diet be for Spring and Summer?
(A) Be very light upon meats. Fowl or lamb may be taken
occasionally. Fish, especially if boiled - or Gefillte Fish,
or broiled fish; these are well, or baked fish. Broiled
lamb, or stew with vegetables. Orange juice or citrus fruit
juices of mornings are well. Not too much of sweets, but
quite a well-balanced diet in the evening; PREFERABLY
vegetables cooked in their OWN juices - as in the Patapar
Paper.
(Q) Considering all conditions, what exercise could and
should I take?
(A) The exercises that have been indicated should be taken
at least once or twice a day. The breathing exercises for
the head, the neck and the upper portions of the body. And
walking. And, as indicated oft for the body, the body should
make a BALANCE in its physical, its mental and its spiritual
activity; BUDGETING its time, making for the recreation that
is as necessary with the mental body as with the physical
body - and these will keep the body better balanced.
(Q) Is present treatment of hair using PROCAR aiding the
hair?
(A) Aiding the hair. We would continue with this, if it is
more preferable than what we have outlined (which is
better!).
(Q) Should the body take the breathing exercises of
Dr. THIND? [East Indian Sikh teacher, Dr. Bhagat Singh
Thind]
(A) As indicated, the breathing exercises for the head, the
neck and the arms; THESE we would take.
(Q) Is the body ready for meditation as suggested by
Dr. Thind?
(A) If the body will cleanse its body-PHYSICAL, it will be
ready for meditation; and BUDGET its time!
(Q) How often the meditation?
(A) Once a day, at least.
(Q) Where should body and his family spend the summer
considering their health and his financial condition?
(A) Where it is the most congenial, and where they may be
as much in the open as possible. The beach is very good.
(Q) As to his development of the furniture, he went West,
to the Showers factory at Bloomington, visited Mr. Burnett
and the sales manager Mr. Les Sailors. They promised to
write him and turn over the entire furniture sales in the
East to him.
(A) There has been some delay, owing to the investigations
that are a portion of the activities of every well balanced
organization. As we find, there may be some curtailment in
the territory that may be awarded [
257] in his activity;
that will depend upon the efforts and what [
257] is able
to show is possible in the activity to begin at once; that
is, the orders, see? Then it would be well to write and, if
necessary, go West again. Don't wait, but don't be so
overactive as to spoil the whole situation.
(Q) [
257] has decided to devote his time to this Showers
line, if given it, and let the Carolina Wood Products rest
until they send for him. Is that the proper attitude to
assume?
(A) It is well that this be taken as given, and leave the
other proposition until there is the approach from others
for the handling of the whole or part of the Operations of
the Carolina.
(Q) [
257] has asked for the new England and Eastern States -
(A) (Interrupting) As indicated, there may be some
curtailment in a portion of the territory allotted or
awarded, but it is well to ask for same; but show by the
ability to obtain the orders that [
257] can handle the
situations. And those that are of the furniture that are not
the highest or lowest will be the lines that will be the
better for the handling at this time. Not that which is too
showy, but - as indicated - a semblance of periods in the
various manufactures.
(Q) [
257] took a set of Government drawings to Showers for
them to figure on. Was that a good move?
(A) This is very good. And while there may not be the
awarding of same, it is well in such that there be followed
very closely the specifications that are required by the
Government upon such specifications and such orders. As we
find, this should be in part successful.
(Q) Will [
257] receive the appointment at once from
Mr. Sailors for the furniture line representation?
(A) As indicated, it may be necessary for another visit
West. Do not overstep, nor become discouraged because some
portions may not be allotted as asked for.
(Q) Reference the [
900] case, [
257]'s attorney Popkin
of 160 B'way, 15th floor, has prepared the case, invited
Mr. Moses the Banker to be a witness and others to have
[
900] repay [
257] for the East Coast Stock they took away
from him, and thus enable [
257] to pay the [
3734] Judgement,
which [[
900] & [
137]] engineered. What is yet necessary for
[
257] and his attorney to do to win the case successfully?
(A) If it is presented in the manner in which it has been
prepared, as we find, there should be little trouble in
getting the whole situation settled in the proper way and
manner. To have the stock and then require the pay does
not bespeak that this could stand the test before the
Judge. Well that all who purchased stock in the same
(that are acquainted with the situation) be called also
as witnesses.
(Q) Will [
257] be able to overcome the arguments of Max
Steur through his attorney Lionel Popkin?
(A) He should be, through those very things that have been
outlined.
(Q) Is there any pressure that could be used thru SEC to
aid [
257] or will the present facts be sufficient to win the
case?
(A) Do not attempt to use pressure. Use only what is RIGHT!
(Q) Should David Levy testify?
(A) All those who have purchased in the same, that bears
upon the situation, should be considered.
(Q) [
257] bears no malice but asks justice -
(A) (Interrupting) Then act that way and manner!
(Q) Reference Paris Medicine Co., and the medicine deal,
[
257] has tried too carry out the instructions in getting
the proper attorneys and handle the case properly. What
progress is he making toward getting this matter settled
or cleared up to satisfaction of all?
(A) To be sure, there will on the part of Orr and a portion
of those in St. Louis be the working with [
257] in making for
the re-sale to prevent any return to the suit, as indicated
must be followed along the lines of those that have been
indicated should handle that portion of same. As to those
that may become purchasers of the medicine company, as we
find, those in the LOCAL or the New York or in the East that
have spoken or CONSIDERED are not to be considered too
seriously; though they may still be used for a purpose to
make for a proper opening or association with the English
organization that has considered such a proposition. So work
along those lines.
(Q) Who would be best concern in England to see or contact?
(A) Those who have made an indication that they were
interested in same.
(Q) Will Harvey Gibson, Pres. of Mfgs. Trust Co., 55 Broad
St., be of aid to [
257] in selling the business?
(A) Be of help and assistance to the body.
(Q) Will [
257] finally sell it again, or will the suit come
to trial?
(A) That depends upon the activities, and associations all
becoming congenial with the activities of [
257].
(Q) What is the attitude of Orr of St. Louis Union Trust
and his associates to [
257] now since he visited him?
(A) As indicated, rather in sympathy and would work with
[
257].
(Q) Why has he not heard from Fred Seely about the new
financial reports and other figures required?
(A) This has been held up, but there will be the hearing
from same.
(Q) What is Seely's attitude and decision as reference to
[
257]?
(A) Not as open and as congenial as at some times, yet in
sympathy.
(Q) Did [
257] conduct himself fairly and as he should have
while at St. Louis with all concerned at the Bank?
(A) Very good.
(Q) What was accomplished by [
257] while there?
(A) As indicated.
(Q) Lawrence Spyr of 420 Lexington Ave., Leason & Co.,
claims he has a customer that wants to buy and pay cash.
Will his group come thru and make an offer?
(A) Not very good, and not to be relied upon unless he can
get a hold in and claim for something. Watch this very
closely. Unless that he can bring directly the associations
with the English firm.
(Q) Will Ralph Jonas be any assistance to [
257] in this
matter?
(A) COULD be of assistance if so desired!
(Q) What about Maurice Wertheim?
(A) Also may be helpful.
(Q) Any other Financial group that [
257] should see?
(A) These should work along in their regular order and line;
following out each lead to its termination.
(Q) What medicine group?
(A) The same one as considered before, or those of the group
that are of the Standard Oil might be considered.
(Q) What plan will cause the consummation of the sale?
(A) Get it all in order and in shape!
(Q) From present indications, when should matter finally
be closed up?
(A) Between now and October.
(Q) Considering all of the above, please show [
257] how to
keep his equilibrium, and keep up his fight to win the
success that he asks -
(A) (Interrupting) As indicated, follow each lead to its
termination. Do not be OVERANXIOUS but be BUSY all the time
at each situation that arises. Don't tell EVERYBODY your
business! Keep always SOMETHING to yourself! Not as hiding,
but as you would be done by - which doesn't indicate telling
EVERYONE ALL you know!
(Q) Reference the Work [EC Work:] [
257] has a letter from
Irene DuPont, discussing his interest in the work. What
should [
257] do to futher this acquaintance for the benefit
of Edgar Cayce and the people awaiting this knowledge.
Mr. DuPont lives in Wilmington, Delaware.
(A) It would be well for [
257] to step OUT, as it were, by
letting the Chairman of the Board present that outline of
the Work which he has - and call [
257] IF necessary.
(Q) [
257] had a dream that Alfred DuPont wanted him to meet
Irene DuPont. Alfred passed away and left fifty million for
the welfare of the crippled and aged. Why did he want [
257]
to meet Irene?
(A) For the good that might come to all through all those
interests that may be had in such an association. [

See
165-23, Par. 9-A in re DuPont help for afflicted boys'
school.]
(Q) What can [
257] accomplish in 1935, since he feels he
has benefitted through going through so much -
(A) (Interrupting) Then APPLY same! Knowledge alone that
is not practical and workable is of little value, to ANYONE.
Know the way is open before you. Then, especially through
those periods from now to the fourth of July, apply self as
to the sales activity. Through August and September make
the greater application towards the medicine associations
and connections. And you will find that the greater success
may come to the body, and be able to approach much the same
position regarding the SALES activities as in the past. In
different channels - that is, in different lines - but of the
same character.
(Q) Is this year right for him astrologically?
(A) ALL years are right astrologically! This is very good,
especially from the fifteenth of April to the twentieth of
October.
(Q) Any further advice?
(A) Study to show thyself approved unto the best within
thine inner self. Keep in relationship with the Creative
Forces as to make for the thinking better of self and self's
conduct towards its fellow man; making for the correct
balance mentally, physically, spiritually; and it will make
that desired - a mental and material and spiritual success.
We are through for the present.
