(Q) Give any advice necessary to help me see the whole
proposition through.
(A) As has been indicated, as we find, from the first:
Not only are there the monetary conditions to be considered
but the comfort, the better surroundings, the local life, the
greater activities in a social, in a business, in a general
way and manner also are to be considered.
As we find, with the whole situation as has been indicated -
while the first year may appear to be rather a hardship, and
some periods when there may appear too great a burden in same
- after the first twelve to sixteen months we would find,
with the considerations given to small fruits, chickens,
flowers - not a great quantity but a moderate quantity of the
truck gardening, and the like - there should be made
sufficient to carry the whole situation.
Thus not only may the tensions be eased but make for more
satisfactions and better conditions for all; and this means
activities for all associated or interested in developing
such - the father, the mother, and the whole family - or
activities for all of those associated in the family.
Hence these naturally bring to the experience of self not
only the greater satisfaction but the feelings of making life
for others worth while; even though it becomes somewhat of a
burden.
Duties, obligations are not always to be hung onto a person,
yet when these are as opportunities for SELF as well as for
the associations, they are better.
(Q) Will management of the farm be too strenuous for my
father?
(A) Rather as we find, with the characterization of those
things indicated, would be rather a helpful influence in his
experience.
(Q) Please give an outline of the handling of the property
in general; that is, what to plant, the quantity - what to
start off with; advice concerning chickens, etc., and
quantity.
(A) As has been indicated, small fruits - and other fruits
too, of course, later. Chickens, of course, should be the
first consideration; for if these are kept in the proper way
and manner these begin almost immediately to pay. The small
fruits, as strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, currants;
also peaches, pears, plums, apples - all of these come
necessarily in periods, or some take longer periods than
others. For it takes the second year before most of these
will bear, though some - of course will pay in the first
season. However, most of these will require the second
season before they become other than somewhat of an expense,
rather than a return. But chickens - a flock of two hundred
to four hundred and fifty - will make for a return within the
first three to four months. [GD's note: He later moved his
parents to live with him in another house already built, not
one of the pieces of property mentioned.]
(Q) Regarding my present job, when will changes be made at
this Norfolk-Southern station and how will they affect me?
(A) As we find, as has been indicated, these depend upon
what the body is willing to accept. There will not be
changes, unless there are some other conditions arising not
indicated in the connection, before another eighteen to
nineteen months to two years in this particular surrounding;
though there is indicated - as a general condition, after the
eighteen months - that there will be something of an
opportunity for the body to change; though it would not make
for a hardship to the whole proposition nor to self.
(Q) Is it likely that the Norfolk-Southern stock will go
lower? Advise if it would be a good investment to buy the
stock now and hold.
(A) We would not invest in the present. When there is the
closer affiliation of the Southern's activities with the
Pennsylvania lines, or a more definite coalition in the
activities - because, of course, the greater part is held
already, but when there is a more active coalition - when it
would be a good investment.
(Q) Is there any advice concerning my physical condition?
[See 416-6.]
(A) This, as we find in the present, is very good. There
needs to be those precautions from time to time as have been
indicated, as respecting the vision, the activities in the
open. The general conditions as to precautions. These as we
find are those necessary things to be considered by the body.
(Q) What causes and what should be done for the skin
irritation, also the itching in ears?
(A) A low electrical vibration would be helpful for this -
such as from the Violet Ray.
There is a tendency for not exactly an eczema but an
inclination in the direction.
Leave off too much of the carbonated waters, and drinks with
same. Use the Violet Ray about every other evening over the
upper portion of the shoulders, the neck, the head; and we
will find these conditions improving.
(Q) Is my Radio-Active Appliance still good?
(A) Only needs some little overhauling.
But this electrical vibration as indicated is the Violet Ray
that is needed, as well as the Radio-Active Appliance. This
is the high vibration, while the Radio-Active is the
vibratory force of the body set to work for making a more
perfect circulation. The Violet Ray is the current carried
directly into the system and is a destructive vibration,
while the Radio-Active vibration is constructive. These do
not work in opposition to one another, but work on different
portions of the system. The Ultra-Violet or the Violet Ray
works upon the superficial circulation, while the low
electrical vibration of the Radio-Active Appliance is an
active principle with the deeper circulation - though it is
taken in through the superficial.
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) As has been indicated, keep constructive thought; keep
optimistic; and know that as long as Right - and not Might -
is kept as the ideal or the principle, the opportunities, the
influences and the forces are ever constructive in the
experience of the body.
We are through for the present.
