TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [911], present in this room. You will give a mental and spiritual reading for this body, answering the questions relating to this reading and to her physical and material welfare.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [911], present in this room.
3. In considering the mental and spiritual attributes of the body, as has been indicated, the physical welfare must be considered also; for with a perfect functioning physical organism there is a great deal of difference in the mental outlook upon conditions material and mental, as they affect the body and as the body is affected by its surroundings.
4. In the physical forces, as we have them here, there are changes taking place that are for the betterment of the conditions, as may be seen or experienced more by the body in the outlook, as there comes to the body at times by the changes that are becoming more and more apparent in the physical forces; and the body is already becoming aware of impulses and motives that are somewhat new to the body, and the use - as these awarenesses come to the body - may be considered the mental developments, mental attributes, mental outlook that is before the body. Conditions then will assume a new status in the mental visions of the body, as will relationships in the physical, in the mental, in the spiritual.
5. In considering conditions in the spiritual, it is recognized by the body more and more that all things that have to do with the mental and physical body must of themselves have their inception in the spiritual; else the results, or the fruits of either physical or mental experience, must become more or less blasted by the associations assumed in the application of an idea or ideal in connection or association with individuals, places or peoples, or things. Hence the spiritual is as a criterion for the development of the mental and the spiritual welfare of an individual, and particularly must it mean so to this entity, or individual, as the conditions physical develop, as the outlook opens upon the affairs, conditions, relationships with the body, under the new or different conditions as they develop.
6. Then, as we find, the body physical is on the improve, and there is less and less dependence upon those outside influences, and more and more does the body depend upon that influence from within and the abilities of the physical to create and maintain those necessary elements in the physical organism for the responses in same to be more and more of self; there will be seen that the physical depends upon the spiritual aspect the body has, and more will the spiritual function as the ideals of the body are held in that position or manner in which the ideal is the guide and the guard to the activities of the mental and material body.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Regarding health: What should my present dosage of insulin be?
   (A) As seen, there are variations even yet as to what amount or quantity is necessary; for as the physical body is set in motion by the activities of the functioning organism, so that the activity is created in the organs of the system to carry on the assimilation with the proper division and differentiations in that assimilated, there will be periods or times when the quantity will be more than at others. This should be gradually reduced in quantity every three to five days, and if found necessary then return the next day - or that day - to a greater amount, yet each three to five days leaving off a portion of same, so that the system - as it creates those necessary elements within same - will come to depend upon self, rather than that from the outside, for its activity. The quantity or the number of units at the present, we would reduce then in three days at least another one to two units - see?
9. (Q) How often should it be taken?
   (A) As the necessity demands that it be taken. As is seen here, there has been the dependence of the system upon the activity of same in reference to the using up of the hydrates and the fats, that there be the proper balance for the carrying forward of all forces necessary in the blood supply for the common functioning of the organs of the system, see? and, as has been given, as the impulses - by the relieving of those pressures in the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic nerve system - allow the organs to become more and more active, then less and less often and less and less quantity will be needed for the activities of the system; until, as has been given, the body has within self that which is capable of adjusting itself; for the basis of the active forces in the body is founded and grounded in the spiritual essence of creative energy within self - or the spiritual.
10. (Q) What should my present dosage be? How many units at a dose?
    (A) That being used, see - and in three days then reduce one to two units.
11. (Q) Am I progressing physically according to the suggestions that have been given?
    (A) Progressing beautifully! if this will be kept; and because there come periods when depressions come in from outside influences, look up - lift up; for there is help and aid before the body.
12. (Q) How often should next eighteen treatments be taken?
    (A) Every other day should be sufficient for the manipulative and corrective forces in the treatments.
13. (Q) Is medicine given by reading properly prepared?
    (A) As we find apparent, properly prepared.
14. (Q) Why can't I sleep?
    (A) The over activity of the creative forces within the body prevents the full relaxation. Would we bring a near normal balance, we would apply or use - with these that are being given - the Radio-Active Appliance. This will bring sleep without any sedative from the outside, creating all necessary forces from within. Attach same to the wrist and to the ankle when ready to retire, the plain Radio-Active Appliance. The first period of use will bring some irritation. The second will be less. Afterward, when properly prepared, it will bring rest.
15. (Q) How long should this be attached at a time?
    (A) From thirty to sixty minutes.
16. (Q) How long will a good physical, mental and spiritual recovery take?
    (A) From six to eighteen months, the body should be perfectly normal, balanced, in physical, mental and spiritual relationships.
17. (Q) Shall I take hypnotics to aid me in relaxation and sleep?
    (A) Get farther and farther from these, as fast as possible - but do not make self unbalanced in its mental relaxation, by staying off as it were - too long, but with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance this will be as a hypnotic that is created from within, rather than from without.
18. (Q) Have I a proper diet?
    (A) As the conditions change in the physical forces of the body, this will be changed. As has been given, the diet is well at the present, and in the beginning - but in twenty to twenty-six days there should be begun gradual changes in the diet. These may be tested best by as to what will digest without creating too great a quantity of sugar in the activities of the system.
19. (Q) What should my plans be for the immediate future as to household?
    (A) These should be left, as we find, rather as indefinite in the present. Not so indefinite as to cause mental disturbance by the influence, or attempted influence of others from without, but let self have the opportunity, and insist that others give self the opportunity, to find some self-expression as from a normal physical self; and KNOW that the strength to meet these conditions will be created and brought about in self, mentally, physically and spiritually.
20. (Q) Should I let my maid go, and when?
    (A) In another week to two weeks, then these changes may be made.
21. (Q) Is my present marriage not a fundamental failure?
    (A) A fundamental failure; and while there are mental and material obligations in the present associations, do not be too hasty in making decisive changes, until the physical and mental body has the opportunity to respond to self. Then self not as dictatorial, self not as defying anyone, self not as being made aware of its freedom in many different channels from what has been the experience, will find that all of these conditions will gradually adjust themselves; first within the mental attributes of self, and that that is desired in that self may find an expression in the affairs of the physical, mental and material life, in such a manner as to be a producer of that that is helpful to another. As this dependence comes (that first must be in self), it will give that freedom that makes for those changes in the physical relationships with those present associations, and bring that peace, that harmony, that will make for self being a channel of the glorifying of an ideal through the activities physical and mental of the body.
22. (Q) Why is my husband so unmasculine and abnormal sexually?
    (A) This is from physical conditions that exist in the physical make-up of the body.
23. (Q) Am I to any marked degree responsible for the basic hardships and dissimilarities and obstacles existent in my marriage?
    (A) Less than that of other influences, and - as conditions do show their change in the physical being, and the freedom of those forces in the mental and the material activities brings about changes these will adjust themselves in those relationships that will make for a more activity in creative ways and manners.
24. (Q) Please explain our sex incompatibility.
    (A) As those conditions that make for those relationships in this connection are accentuated in the various manners through those conditions existent in the physical body of each, these bring about those abhorrences and those changes that make for this portion of the life to become a thing that is to be feared, rather than as nature has made to be enjoyed or used in the manner that finds the expression through the activities of the body in every force; for, as is seen, this may be found to be that which would be well for all to consider:
    As sex is that channel through which creation in the material world brings forth that which is of creating itself, so are the organs of same - the centers through which all creative energies - whether mental or spiritual - find their inception in a material world for an expression. As has been given, when this force in sex is raised, or rated, in its inception through the mental forces of the body, this finds expression in that of giving the love influence in the life or lives of the individual, as well as that which may be brought into being as a gratification of a physical desire.
    Hence this portion, this incompatibility that is between the two individuals as given here, is that which makes for the inability for any CREATIVE forces to become compatible between the individuals; for there is no soul but what the sex life becomes the greater influence in the life. Not as always in gratification in the physical act, but rather that that finds expression in the creative forces and creative abilities of the body itself.
25. (Q) How can I become less fearful, and my subconscious mind more able to rest?
    (A) As there is brought more and more the activities of the spiritual self through the action of the psychic forces (that is, the creative energy of the subconscious force), this will allow itself to become more and more positive and less and less negative. To begin, when those applications of the low electrical vibration in the Radio-Active Appliance bring about those emanations in the system, keep closer and closer tab, or closer and closer thought, on that which is experienced by the inner self as sleep - or as the real subconscious self - takes hold of the activities of the soul of the body, and we will be able to see - just as a psycho-analyst would give to the psychic forces of a body those which produce those that have been hindered by the activities of the body in its development, to where - as is called by many - a mind has an inferiority complex. This is an activity of the subconscious self, but not of the subconscious mind. This is the subconscious self, NOT the subconscious mind proper.
    THIS body has rather that which has been as SUBJUGATED, and - as these are awakened by the activities of the creative energies within self, without being dependent upon those of outside influences - more and more freedom will be felt within, the abilities of the physical mind, the abilities of the spiritual mind, the abilities of the physical body, to be creative, productive, in whatever field of endeavor it would choose; for the body has many abilities, physically and mentally. The body can become productive in physical and mental attributes, and - as the freedom comes - these will be able to give - give - to others, rather than require the giving of others to self.
26. (Q) When should the Radio-Active Appliance treatment begin?
    (A) As soon as possible.
27. (Q) What do the Forces say regarding my chances for peace and happiness on earth?
    (A) Peace and happiness, harmony, will be the lot of the body; for the body physically and mentally should know - and hold within self - this:
    I AM PERSUADED THAT NEITHER MINDS OF OTHERS, PRINCIPALITIES, NOR FORCES OF ANY NATURE, MAY SEPARATE ME FROM THE JOY, THE PEACE, THE HAPPINESS, MY MAKER HAS PREPARED FOR ME.
    And HE will bring it to pass!
28. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 8/30/32 Letter from EC to his father, Mr. LBC: "...Mr. [4163]'s daughter, Mrs. [911], is here. Apparently, she is responding very wonderfully to the treatments. Dr. Richardson has charge of the case. She has a nurse with her, which - to be sure - makes something of a hardship for her as well as for the girls as the nurse is of the old school and a Catholic as well. When she sees the things going on, naturally there is some resentment. She is not an elderly person, but naturally somewhat dictatorial. I hope the child gets along nicely. She is in rather a serious condition, and is one of those souls that has been so continually used and abused by the profession attempting to make her enjoy poor health... My judgement is according to the information and what the child says herself. It is really a horrible thing, when we come to such a condition, if the information is to be believed at all. She has been a sufferer for possibly her whole life, and she is only 24 yrs. of age, with something she hasn't got, but she has been drugged until she has almost all the symptoms at times, and at others very foreign. She has had plenty of money to spend and though she has changed from one doctor to another, it has apparently been as if she was being passed on as a meal ticket for first one doctor then another. Then her mental and social life hasn't been, and isn't, what she desires but she has been really almost incapable of knowing what she would desire with what she has been given from time to time. Let's hope for the best..."
