(Q) State the physical condition of this body and if further
osteopathic manipulations or other treatments are necessary.
(A) The general physical forces we find very good in many
respects. To be sure, there are occasionally reoccurrences
of those impulses that became almost constitutional
throughout the physical activity, from those tendencies of
disturbances in the muco-membranes of the head; as well as
that tendency for the capillary or lymph circulation, as
related to the eliminations through the respiratory system,
to become aggravating.
When there is such a tendency, it would be well that
precautions be taken even before and especially during such
periods, that there is kept - through the diet, as well as by
medicated applications or by treatments, or both - and
created rather the tendency of a more alkalin reaction in the
system.
At such periods, then, the manipulative forces and corrective
measures would be advisable; the stimulating of those ganglia
especially that turn to or for the creating of greater
activity through those portions that make for better
eliminations, and for gland secretions to create better
activities in a coordination of the eliminating forces of the
body, as coordinating one with another; that is, the
respiratory system, the circulation as to the perspiratory
system and the kidneys, and also - naturally - the alimentary
canal.
When such conditions arise, then, these treatments would be
necessary.
(Q) Is the Iodex and ash as a treatment for the recedement
of lump on left side of neck to be continued? [Goitre?]
(A) We would continue until there is the whole reduction of
same. Do not massage in so thoroughly that there is
bruising, or tendency to make the thinning of the walls of
the glands and ducts that tend to make such conditions
accumulate; but we would continue with same.
(Q) Mucus collects in my throat at night, what should be
done to eliminate at source?
(A) As indicated, keep more of an alkalinity throughout the
system and this will tend to change the circulation such as
to throw off refuse forces through the proper channels,
rather than allowing accumulations in the form of phlegm in
the muco-membranes of the disturbed conditions in throat,
bronchi and larynx.
(Q) Upon retiring inability to sleep is a frequent
experience. What harmless method will induce sleep?
(A) Radio-Active Appliance!
Such conditions are oft, as we find, and especially for this
particular body, the result of irritating conditions in the
mental activities as related to the physical sources of
activity in mental.
Hence, to take any sedative is only to add fuel to the fires
of the nervous system. And to become dependent upon same.
But, adding a vibration that will make for an evening of the
circulation throughout the body would assist; which may be
found in the Radio-Active Appliance.
However, it would be better still that there be kept such an
even balance in the whole system, mentally, physically,
spiritually, that there is perfect coordination in the
eliminating systems; in the reactions of the body by the
diet, by the keeping of the system in this condition towards
a tendency of less acidity in body, and - when necessary -
attach the Radio-Active Appliance.
This would be the plain Radio-Active Appliance, and would be
attached one evening for the right wrist and left ankle, the
next evening for the left wrist and right ankle.
(Q) How long should it be kept on?
(A) This doesn't make much difference, for it is to keep an
even balance. An hour to an hour and a half, or if the body
goes to sleep and forgets it - that will be alright!
(Q) Is the process undertaken in the formation of ideals
materializing satisfactorily; otherwise will you outline the
contra-position?
(A) These are taking their normal line of development, under
the varying activities that are the impulse towards same.
(Aside: "He's moving out now!")
(Q) What, if any, particular significance is attached to
this entity born on February 13th?
(A) This question isn't complete!
There's particular significance attached to ANY entity,
dependent upon their reaction to the purposes, aims, desires,
impulses that are experienced by such an entity in their
activity through the material world.
For this particular entity, many have been the activities -
that have been given from experience to experience. As to
what the entity does about, for and concerning that which the
entity in any given experience holds as its ideal, makes for
as to what significance there is in it! Insincerity of ANY
entity, individual, atom, or what not, is destructive!
(Q) Will my mother sell the home place at 2309 W. Jackson or
the place at 2314 W. Jackson this year? [Chicago, Ill.] A
direct answer is sought by Mr. [
270] because he wishes to be
present to assist his mother in this transaction.
(A) This is, naturally, dependent upon many circumstances,
and the decisions or the WILL-activity of many another
individual! And to give a direct answer would be, then,
either to so determine in someone's mind that they will or
will not, or to comb the consciousness of individuals for the
whole period of time - which makes it an impracticability
and, personally, and impossibility for one finite mind!
Yet, as we find, this MAY be consummated, if there is the
desire and will on the part of the mother to part with same
for a definite price that may be set, that would be in accord
with those who are considering taking or buying such.
(Q) In 1918 the Western Union sponsored the formation of an
association of its employees. Will that organization survive
present conditions or has its purpose been served and should
it now be abandoned?
(A) As we find, as indicated by the conditions that have
arisen in the affairs of this association or organization, in
reality it is held by many that there is more reason for the
organization under the present existent conditions, and
through the period when there must be the weeding out for
the better service for the Western Union among its employees,
as the general trend is to come back towards normalcy, than
through those periods of the general affluence of every
condition.
While there is a DEMAND upon those that maintain or are kept
in the service, to and for those who are released in various
portions of the country, so that it makes for a great strain
upon those who are still in employment, is it not the
purpose, is it not the ideal that they are to stand together
as one? and if one fails all fail?
As WE find, the purpose has NOT passed out; neither is there
other than the best to be eventually derived from keeping on
in such an organization, both for the company and for the
employees.
This may be termed rather idealistic, but it's time somebody
had an ideal! even in commercial businesses!
(Q) The Aug. 2, 1932 rdg. gave Mr. [
270] this direct advice:
"That field in which there will be the presenting of more
subsidiary organizations in the transposition of portions of
the various types of conditions relative to the work of the
organization." Is this field that covered by the Stock
quotation Telegraph Co. and the Teleregister Corp?
(A) This is a portion of the field, and under the present
existent conditions - with the gradual trend that is coming
- it would be well that the body, [
270], consider this
particular field of endeavor and so prepare himself to be
able to meet any of the emergencies, or any of the
necessities that arise from the expansions in this particular
field.
But do NOT so attach self, either in activity or in
commitment, that he curtails or cuts himself off from the
GREATER developments that we find may come along with same!
(Q) Now apply the foregoing answer to the proposed
organizational changes of March 1, 1933, and advise Mr. [
270]
concerning his future employment and prospects for
advancement with the Western Union.
(A) We have just taken these into consideration, and advised
that he prepare himself, be willing and ready to accept this
change that may come or may be offered for himself in this
particular field! But do not, as given, make such a
commitment as to cut himself loose entirely from those
affiliations that may make for a greater expansion or field,
but use it rather as a stepping-stone!
(Q) To clear the record state the month, day and year that
Mr. [
270] entered the employ of the Western Union in Chicago.
(A) In '12. June 12th, in '12.
(Q) How will the gross revenue of the Western Union in 1933
compare with that of 1932 and will 1933 aggregate 110
million?
(A) It will work comparatively favorably to that in 1932,
'31 even, and toward the latter part of '33 even surpass some
of those even in the earlier portion - or latter portion -
of '30.
(Q) Will the earth upheavals during 1936 affect San
Francisco as it did in 1906?
(A) This'll be a baby beside what it'll be in '36!
(Q) Will the Japanese concept of aggrandizement by
militaristic aggression result in a declaration of war
between Japan and the United States during the year 1936?
(A) There are too many conditions to be considered, that may
be of greater import and more far-reaching in importance even
than wars, during 1936!
As to the militaristic attitude and activities of the
Japanese and those countries in that particular portion of
the sphere, as we find, there will be a great deal more
militaristic movements BETWEEN now and '36 than during '36,
in that particular field - unless there's some mighty changes
in the affairs!
(Q) The belief is held that the aeroplane manufacturing and
transportation industry will become the outstanding
cornerstone to mark this country's return to prosperity, just
as the automobile industry did in 1921 and the radio activity
did in 1925. Is this correct?
(A) Partially so, yes. It may be given as the most
OUTSTANDING change that would come, but the real basis of
the change must come in the attitude of the classes with the
masses, and the abilities for those in selective fields or
positions to act more coordinatingly with the spiritual
upliftment of ALL to a higher position as related to the
affairs of groups, classes and masses.
(Q) Has time and the constant evolutionary changes corrected
the mind of the people so that a statement on the business
outlook for this year can be given?
(A) It will be on the improve in this year! for the
definite change, definite turn of affairs!
As may be seen from that which took place in Germany, Russia,
Japan, on or about the 29th of January, and between the 29th
of January and the 4th of February, the change will make for
a leavening or a stabilizing (after many trials) to different
conditions.
(Q) Any other advice for this body at this time?
(A) Many fields of thought may be considered by the body,
and - as indicated from time to time - the abilities are
such, as from the developments of the entity through his
experience in the material planes, that holding to an ideal
- working WITH same, FOR same, LIVING for same, willing to
die for same if necessary - is the best policy!
We are through for the present.

REPORTS
2/25/33 He wrote: "Many thanks. I believe the rdg. will
enable me to act more wisely than otherwise, especially on
the matter of disposing of the house at 2314 W. Jackson,
Chicago, also the personal matters. The first par. (Par. 1)
was quite timely, including the answers to Par. 12-A and
13-A. I shall want to ck. on these matters in due time, so
I think it would be well to schedule me for a rdg. about
April 6th or 7th... Will you also favor me with your
understanding of the remark in connection with the answer to
Par. 8-A, following - aside "He is moving out now." Does it
mean that I am improving in the formation of ideals? and the
handling of them with respect to myself?"
3/06/33 EC's reply: "I would understand that you are making
some very definite determinations within your own mind,
respecting your ideal, or that by which you are measuring the
standards of your own thought and activities, both as related
to your mental life and to your relationships in the material
and commercial affairs."
GD's note: What was meant by "He is moving out now"? He did
not ask about that, so evidently he understood what it was
referring to.
