TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [264]; this we have had before. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) What is my present physical condition and what should be done for me in the present?
   (A) As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Most of these are for the betterment of the conditions.
   While there are still conditions that disturb the body, at times producing drainages that are hard, or producing disturbing factors, yet the abilities for the body to produce within same - through the better assimilations, building up resistances and vitalities - are very much better.
   As we would find, much of that which has been indicated would be well. We would find that the electrical vibration directly through the affected portions would be most helpful with either the electrical vibration that has been given, or more preferably the magnetic forces that we have indicated heretofore, if these are applied in a consistent manner with the activities in the mental, in eradicating fear, doubt, from the thinking of the body - and we will continue improvements.
3. (Q) Who should give the magnetic treatment?
   (A) Anyone that will do same consistently and conscientiously.
4. (Q) Would the husband [853] be a suitable person?
   (A) He would be a VERY suitable person. This should be given for at least twenty to thirty minutes each evening. Not as mere rote, but with that feeling, that attitude of giving strength of self to make for the activities through the affected portions.
5. (Q) Describe how he should give these treatments?
   (A) This has been described, but we would place the left hand on the 4th lumbar and the right hand over the affected portions.
6. (Q) Should the Ventriculin be continued?
   (A) Should be continued occasionally, so long as it keeps that vitality being replenished; for it is building in the system.
7. (Q) Regarding material affairs - Carolina Wood & Metal Products, of Asheville, N.C., could and would they manufacture slash pine into news print at a profit?
   (A) As we find in this it becomes necessary for installation of the correct machinery for the production of such. But if such a proposition is made to Morris, and this used as a basis for the Government experimentations and for the production of such a product, this would enable Morris AND associates to carry on in that which is being sought at the present time, and would be an effectual way in gaining or in attaining those correct activities there.
8. (Q) Is Gilbert Morris the individual referred to?
   (A) Acting Manager, Morris, of the Wachovia Bank & Trust Company - Gilbert Morris.
9. (Q) Could I furnish this slash pine at a profit by obtaining percentage contracts and options on standing timber?
   (A) On those as we find that [853] has options would be sufficient in the present, and AS these developments - that is, unless there are alterations in what we find as conditions existent in the present - yes, but don't overburden self with options that would make a liability, as it develops. Develop it as the conditions arise.
10. (Q) What portions of the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia is slash pine to be had in greatest quantities?
    (A) Where there has been the greater part of cut-over forest.
11. (Q) Give names and addresses of the owners of these tracts from whom I could obtain contracts?
    (A) As indicated, there is already an association and a connection where this portion would be the most effectual for the present, and these would be sufficient in the immediate future. These others may be sought as in relationships to the conditions that develop.
12. (Q) Would Chas. Todd of Weldon, N.C., be the right person to log and ship this timber?
    (A) We have some associations or connections here, but we do not find Todd as being one that would be active in this, if it is carried through. Not that we find fault with Todd, but others may be more active in this.
13. (Q) Who would be the proper person?
    (A) Let's do the first things first, and - as we are making the associations and the connections there will be the necessity, through the Government supervision, if these are handled correctly, inspectors and active forces, through their associations and connections that would be put in charge, see?
14. (Q) Bladen County Timber: Who now holds an option on the Carolina timber in Bladen Co., in which I am interested?
    (A) The same ones; he's a judge somewhere!
15. (Q) When will this option expire?
    (A) It's a year!
16. (Q) Will my contract with John D. Beatty of Elizabethtown, N.C., still hold good, after this present option expires?
    (A) Still hold good.
17. (Q) Should we try to sell this at the present time?
    (A) Some months later; not at the present time.
18. (Q) From whom will I get results from my present ad. in the "Southern Lumberman?"
    (A) This is like looking for a needle in a haystack! There have been considerations. As to just who, or where, will depend upon circumstances and activities in the minds of individuals. This is not ABLE to be given, for - as has been oft said - unless there is, or until there is the determination on the part of individuals, it does not become a fact and available to any source of supply or information.
19. (Q) What else could I do to effect the sale of this timber by Oct. 29th?
    (A) That which is set in motion should be sufficient.
20. (Q) How can I best obtain information as to the number of feet of the different varieties of timber on these tracts?
    (A) Only by inspection, and that by those that are acquainted with such a situation. Todd's connection here is not bad; and is trustworthy.
21. (Q) What paper and box companies would purchase the pine?
    (A) This is cross questioning! If the first associations and connections are to be considered, with experimentation and activities with Morris' associations with Government's activities, all of these - though they would not act quick enough for the 29th, but it would be considered under the new associations and connections for many of the various types; the hardwoods, the veneers, the box and for use in papers, all of these would come under the same DIRECTION - if these connections are made, as we find.
22. (Q) General questions: Is the timber owned by Harrison Lake Timber Co., of British Columbia, Canada, which is now being cut by the Green Point Logging Co. and Dahl and Falk Lumber Co., contracted for by The British Paper Co. of Frogmore Mills, Hemel, Hempstead, England?
    (A) And their associates. British Paper Company and their associates.
23. (Q) Is this contract a result of my giving the name of The British Paper Co. (as a prospect) to Mr. J. C. Byrd and Mr. Howard White of Raleigh, N.C.?
    (A) Directly and indirectly.
24. (Q) Are the Green Point Logging Co. [2/06/41 See 622-6, Par. 39-A in re Greenpoint Lumber Co., Montreal, Can.] or the Dahl & Falk Lumber Co. or both owned by the Harrison Lake Timber Co., or by any stockholder?
    (A) This is rather a combination; a portion of the stock is owned by these.
25. (Q) Who are the British Paper Co.'s associates?
    (A) This would cover such a varied territory, it would be hard to give. Some of these go into the distilling interests, some oil interest, some in the government interests.
26. (Q) How could I obtain full information regarding this deal, which would show that The Harrison Lake Timber Co. is selling this timber to The British Paper Co. as a result of my disclosure of their name as a prospect, so that I can collect such commissions as are due me?
    (A) Make the demands on those with whom there has been the association and connection for the presentations of the fact in the case. Through White.
27. (Q) Will Mr. Byrd and Mr. White pay me the agreed commission?
    (A) If they can help it they will not, but if the demand is made - and through these connections, why there will be a portion of it paid that should be satisfactory. Do not cause, of course, such antagonism as to bring about activities that would cause the associations to become estranged; for, as we find, these will be helpful in other directions where there are connections to be made. Then, the approach would be as the connections and activities with the Green Point people. Approach the connections of white and associates as to what are the activities, and to whom delivered. See? These should clarify the whole situation.
28. (Q) Where or in what Court House could the records of these transactions be found?
    (A) As we find, not in a Court House as yet; these are rather in the offices of the Green Point.
29. (Q) What price per thousand feet is being paid by the British Paper Co. and to whom, for this timber?
    (A) That would be telling! It's sufficient to take care of the whole situation.
30. (Q) Would it be best to sell the remainder of this timber to the Government for airplanes or to get a contract on another tract to sell to the Government?
    (A) There are portions of same that may be used in this particular industry, but there are not - as we find - in same sufficient quantity, in this PARTICULAR tract, for a great deal of airplane construction.
31. (Q) Where could I obtain a tract in Canada for this?
    (A) This would be rather in the farther western lands.
32. (Q) From whom could I obtain this?
    (A) Seek it out, some of it, yourself! Those same ones first. In this connection there were, in '17, by the Government some combinations of the developments in the Vancouver area, where there were quantities that have been left, as it were, in preparation. These channels may be found through the areas where their activities were during that period; the commissary department under the supervision at that time of Mitchell and Baird. Seek it out through this.
33. (Q) Regarding spiritual development: What should be my next steps in applying my talents in my daily life as a scientific analyst? [See 264-31.]
    (A) As has been indicated for this body, the abilities in the innate and soul self are latent, and by a practical application OF the mental abilities there may be caught the glimpse of that wherein the body-mind may apply in its experience of associations, of meeting those problems in the experiences of others, that which will aid the body-mind of self as well as others in finding themselves.
    In the study of the psychological, psychopathic, psychoanalyst activities of many, glimpses may be caught by the body in these directions. These have been covered by many varied teachers in many lands. But in making the practical application of these ideas, or the views or vistas set forth by these minds, the entity itself must spiritualize in self the truths that are gained by such study. This is accomplished by beginning to make the application in the lives of individuals. Not as a laboratory experiment to see what will happen if a condition is analyzed for an individual, but (as spiritualizing means) meeting the spiritual activity of the divine influences in every soul in its seeking, aiding the individual to find itself. Read, then, such books, such pamphlets, that have been prepared on those subjects.
    Do that.
34. (Q) Would you advise any particular books or line of study at this time?
    (A) When a soul, a mind, sets out to seek, that which is necessary is put in the way.
35. (Q) Please explain to me the causes of relationships with, and mental attitude toward, my mother-in-law, Mrs. [...], as governed by past incarnations. How can I overcome this ?
    (A) This, as we find, is PRESUMING that such conditions have been produced outside of any immediate association and connection. And, as we find, this IS true.
    In those periods when there were the activities of the entities in their associations in that land we now know as the Persian and Egyptian, we find there was - as we have indicated - a development and an activity on the part of this entity now known as or called [264], in pushing forward the necessities of the cleansing not only of the body-physical but the body-mental. And that one being in power, (in the entity known as the mother-in-law, [...],) there were the material conditions, the activities wherein there was the necessity of submerging the personality or the egotism of the body. Hence the antagonism arose, and each suffered - one from the physical aspect, the other from SELF-condemnation. For though the laws of Creative Forces are set, at the Bar when the physical is laid aside and the soul stands before the thrones of mercy, the judges are the deeds done in that land of choice. Hence these must work together, towards that which makes for at least a coalition of purpose. Though their visions into the activities past, present or future may be different, their purposes, their aims, their desires should be one. Lose self in His ways, ever. Then PATIENCE may make aware of the soul's needs in the hours or periods when dissension arises. [See 264-31. See 6/14/46 Reports under 264-31.]
    DO that.
36. (Q) Is there any other advice at this time for the spiritual and mental guidance of this entity?
    (A) Lose self physically, mentally, more and more in those promises that are safe and sure. Let thy prayer be: "Mercy, Lord, not sacrifice; for Thou hast no joys in the sacrifice of material things; but as the burdens are heavy, as they are lifted by Thy divine mercy and care, may I lose self more and more in thee, and say Thy will be done in me, through me, in my associations, in my walks and talks with my fellow man; for as I have done it unto these, Thy children, I have done it unto Thee. Mercy!"
37. We are through for the present.
