TEXT

1. [257]: Now you have before you the body of [325], who is present in this room. You will go over the body physically, mentally, and in reference her financial affairs, give her the advice that is needed for her normal health and the satisfactory handling of her business affairs. We will ask you questions when you have given the review of the situation. You will answer the questions in detail in reference her son-in-law Rabbi [4159] N.J., his home is in ... and such other questions as we will ask you.
2. EC: We have the body here, Mrs. [325]. This we have had before. Also those conditions as surround the body in relationships and as to business and such conditions.
3. As to the physical, these we find have shown, and do show, bettered conditions physically in the body than that even when last we had same here. The continued reactions towards physical has been to build much better resistances for the physical functioning. Those conditions in the physical as are acted upon through the mental forces and the sympathetic system still show how the activities of same often bring distress to the body, and, as has been given, little consideration is often shown by others about the body, and this from many who should be more considerate, and from whom the body expects, should expect, has the right to expect, different things. These, then, are outside the influences of that as may be applied, other than mental, by the body respecting such conditions.
4. It is well that the body, then, act in such a way and manner as to keep the constant vision of that desired by self, and in SILENCE to keep the supplication ever before Him through whom all perfect gifts come. THIS is the better way.
5. This, then, materially, is NOT an excuse for son, son-in-law, daughter, or neighbor, but meet the needs of that in self, that the more may be accomplished through the efforts of self, mentally, morally, physically, materially.
6. As to those relations in material affairs, these, as we find, will soon be in a position where bettered conditions may be expected in a material manner.
7. This is a lesson known by self, and well to be kept ever in that position of being applicable in the experiences of life: Those that will not save nor be content with that position in which they labor, if the fountains of wealth, position, or power, were within their grasp, would still be discontent. This is as conditions have EVER existed, and only in keeping the mental forces ever before such, and with prayer and with fasting, bring the renewal of the vows taken in the giving of self; for continue to insist upon the sanctification of self BY OTHERS and self - in that in which they lend themselves. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) How should this body endeavor to help her son-in-law, [4159]?
   (A) It's just been outlined, in how that there must ever be kept before that individual the vows that the body has made, and these must be kept inviolate, and THROUGH self only prayer and the application and supplication to the powers that be. To give money to such an one is casting pearls before swine. He that is not content with that known, would NEVER be content in any, until there is a change of heart!
9. (Q) How can this change be -
   (A) Prayer and fasting! It's been told that! Now apply that you know!
10. (Q) Is there any words that might be said to this -
    (A) Let him find himself!
11. (Q) Should he be advised to remain in the pulpit where he is?
    (A) Hasn't it continued to advise this!
12. (Q) In reference the physical of this body [325], where is best for her to spend the summer?
    (A) Where there is ease, satisfaction, and where the BODY may make self content. Content does not mean satisfied. There is a differentiation. One may ever make self content, but he that is become satisfied is already lost.
13. (Q) Is the right side of this body improving? [Incipient breast cancer.]
    (A) Improving, as was first outlined. Not too much of the exercise that destroys, but rather that of rest and life building forces, as may come through the ease of mental being and body, and of the physical, so that the resuscitation of life force itself may be built in same.
14. (Q) Would the lights help this body at any times?
    (A) Better for THIS body if they were nature's light, than any manufactured or material.
15. (Q) How can her blood supply be improved?
    (A) That's foolish! It's just been given! With the resus- citating of life force in itself, through natural forces, THESE are builded.
16. (Q) What is the condition of the blood now?
    (A) Very good.
17. (Q) Is the right breast in good condition?
    (A) This is IMPROVING in the condition, and with rest and plenty of outside atmosphere and sun, and such, this will build better.
18. (Q) Should this body continue to live in the apartment in N.Y.?
    (A) As has been given, better where not so MUCH noise, yet not where the quietude is oppressive.
19. (Q) Would the Forces please suggest a location in N.Y.?
    (A) Find such! Do something yourself, at least! We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

1. 7/10/29 "Well, here we are at home again safe and sound thanks to the Lord. Our trip home was delightful. I enjoyed the boat so very much. I found my home a mess. The boys had a stag party, as they thought I was going to stay some time, and my maid took advantage of my absence by taking a holiday. Well, I was glad [257] came home with me, and he got out in a hurry as I was very angry. Well, such is life. I must say that I enjoyed every minute of my visit at the Cayce Hospital. I was sorry that I could not have a talk with you or Gertrude on affairs of the hospital, well, I was there and I hope to come again soon. As the reading says, I feel much stronger and it seems that when I put my mind on something I want to happen it comes to light, but no one must cross me, as you once gave to [257], I always do my best to my in-laws and my sons, daughters, and neighbors. I just live to do some good to everyone, but people do not always understand."
2. 7/23/29 "I am indeed thankful to you for the help you gave me in the last reading, as one must be very careful when we have a brilliant mind like [4159] to deal with, and as you know one must have the means to carry on when in a public life. Well, as you know, I have done and will do my best to help."
3. 8/14/29 "It seems that I have not had a chance to run away to the beach as yet. The rule is here, or the law rather, to show your apartment until rented, and as it has not been rented as yet, I must remain until it is.
   "I am feeling very well, thank God. As long as I take care and not over do myself I get along very well...
   "I know you will be very glad to hear that [4159] was called to New York and given $1000 more than he gets in ..., N.J. ... New York said that they had heard of his good work and also that of his wife, and when New York came over to see ..., N.J. congregation the President said that whatever [4159] was worth to them he was worth to his own congregation, so he remains in old place. Well, I was happy to know that his own work was appreciated at last. Yes, he will find himself with God's help, and the good work to help guide. Thanks to you so very much."
4. 9/04/29 "I am indeed sorry to say that I cannot see my way clear to come back to see you. I have worn myself out looking for apartments. I saw some very nice ones but [257] had to close the deal and all slipped by. I now am wondering just what is what...
   "As to my own health, as long as I do not over do my strength I get along very well, but I am a great disappointment to my children at times, as they plan pleasures for me and at the last moment I must buy off. Well, such is life."
5. 9/18/29 She reported on her son's reading 2653-5.
6. 10/04/29 "Well, we moved. Now we must move downstairs, as our apartment is being painted and I could not stand living in it, and I can do so little to help...
   "After we move and get settled I am coming down to your hospital to get some treatments, as my head is so very heavy now from the noise of the other apartment and coming to this quiet place reacts on me...
   "[4159] and [4162] are coming along fine.
   "Now I want to bring son-in-law [1565] here, and then I'll have all of my children around me, and then we will build a house on the beach and we all will be together."
7. 10/19/29 "I sure hope you are better at this time. Do take care of yourself. Yes, people do not understand that you are human. People only know what they want.
   "I was indeed sorry to hear of the death of Dr. House. Peace be with him.
   "I have not been so well myself. My chief trouble is, I get so overtired, but I soon revive if I keep quiet...
   "I am moving downstairs on Tuesday. Quite a bit of extra work to move twice, but this is New York...
   "Son [2588] is in Chicago at the radio show. He is a good boy and deserves so much. If it had not been for him, [257] never could have stayed away from home after the war. He would like his reading. It will help him."
