TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body of [953], ..., Chicago, Ill., also his letter, written while in St. Louis, Mo., January 28, 1926, concerning advice regarding his physical and financial condition. You will please give in detail information concerning his physical condition, and business, in keeping with that requested in his letter.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as regarding same, both physically and financially.
3. Now, we find there are some physical changes that have taken place since we had the body here before. Now, these are those physical conditions as we find in the body at the present time. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows some heaviness again. While the pressure is not as high as we have seen before, yet the condition as is produced in the kidneys and in the extreme circulations are showing unsatisfactory condition. The tiredness, the tendency to drowsiness, the tendency to the feet and lower limbs to tingle or hurt, is produced from this condition in the circulation, as we see produced by other conditions in body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find has been under considerable strain, so much so that this has much to do with the retraction in the physical functioning of the system at the present time; as also we find that that taken in the system as the inducive to create the different condition in the nerves' system functioning with the pancreas has brought this retraction, and with this condition would be aided, then, again, by taking on a portion of such a treatment again, see? yet we find that, were these conditions as we see here carried farther, these would reduce in a more satisfactory manner than that as by the Insulin injection.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, we see as these conditions: Under the strain, first we find that the atmospheric pressure and the cold, with that of the indoor and extremes as brought to the body, is severe on the general constitution. Outside, in the open, in a different climatic condition, in the open spaces, as has been given, will prove more satisfactory; YET, we would NOT change from the present conditions until the middle or latter part of the present year.
7. In the functioning then of the brain forces in the body, these are GOOD; yet we find this heaviness, this tiredness, that appears at times, gives uneasiness to the whole system. Hence, open air, open places, gives a better retraction to the system.
8. In the organs of the sensory system, these we find somewhat improved; yet we do not find that the clearing of the condition along the Eustachian Tubes has been carried out as has been suggested, for only in part has this condition been removed here, and this should be moved entirely, for the pressure as is produced in system (high blood pressure) creates to ALL PORTIONS of the organism the unbalanced, or unequal, metabolism of all organs of the sensory system. Hence the tendency to clear throat for the action of vibration necessary to that of the speaking, to that of the hearing; the sensation of smell, or of odors, being deficient through this, it being a low vibration, and all being high as produced by this over accentuated forces in the body; as is seen in the ear, producing the pressure that raises high, as on the tympanum in its reaction to the system.
9. In the digestive system, we find this has not been adhered to, the diets, as consistent in time of STRESS as has been good for the body, see? That is, there has been too much unequalized diet according to the temperament and pressure as produced by the nerve and physical strain. That is, with the body taking on those properties that produce this strain, with the balance of the condition as produced by injection, see, having lost its force of incentive action, brings then, through wrath, disappointment, fear, dread, cold, at such times, to the body too much of the blood's reaction in the time of digestion. Hence the inability of the system to cope with these conditions. Hence the creating of, not the OVER LOADED sugar as has been, but more of that overactivity of the kidneys, and the PAINS more severe through the locomotories and to the extremities in lower portion of body.
10. In the pancreas, this, we see, the EXCESS of the juices in same, by the nerve strain, THROUGH MENTAL AND THROUGH PHYSICAL, and with the tendency of those portions of the system in the cerebro-spinal nerve system, where the stimulation to the digestion in this portion of the body has been overtaxed in times back, with the general weakening, this, then, needs more of that adjustments that relieve strain, as much by STIMULATION as of relieving the nerve TENSION, to supply the NORMAL FLOW of ENERGY in blood and in nerve to the organs' functioning, see?
11. In the kidneys, this we find the greater distresses in the system at the present time, for with this overtaxation in the digestive system, and with the overstimulation as is seen for the body, these have become more of that source of the uneasiness to the whole nerve system, for with the conditions as is produced through the genitory organs, BY NERVE STRAIN, as is produced through the retraction and refractory nerve reaction in overstimulation, these have brought about the weakness, or weakened condition, and a slowing up of the emunctory functioning in this organ proper, see? Hence the low, dull, achey pains across this portion of the system.
12. Then, to bring the more normal conditions for the body: Either through a PORTION of Insulin injection and REST, change of scene, climatic condition - this, as we see, would be best later, for other specific conditions, as we see as regard to that as pertain to the financial conditions of the body, will be assisted in the developments as are coming to the body through the exercising of conditions as are set in motion by that time in the season. Taking into the system those properties prepared in the manner and way as given in first, in that of Clary Water, see? That is, the Gin, the Ambergris, the Beet Sugar (small quantity), the Cinnamon, etc., see? prepared in the manner as given in the FIRST, see? Half the quantity, then, of the Ambrosia Weed, and keeping the diet, see. Stimulation through the chiropractor, or osteopathic adjustments, and we will find the physical condition will be brought to the normal forces.
13. In the mental reaction against these conditions, the body must realize, in the dieting of the body, under strain, under stress of condition, food poison to the body, of ANY character, see?
14. In that of the financial, we find as these: Best, as given, under the present conditions, that the body labor in the same field as at present, until the latter, or middle or latter part of present year. Then changing to that of the FIELD operations, see, with as much of the change of scenes as is possible, for we find there is being created a more stable operation for the body than has been expected even by this body, - [953], himself; for conditions in mental, in financial, are to be easy for the entity soon. Not too quick in any action. In that systematic, DELIBERATE, manner of the entity, work out these conditions.
15. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 953-18 on 12/23/25.
2. 1/28/26 "Once again I am coming to you for advice such as only you can give by your subconscious contact with the infinite storehouse of all knowledge. A year ago this month you gave me a rdg. while we were in N.Y. It was a general rdg. [See 953-12] covering my physical being and financial business matters. In the physical you gave me information to help restore to a normal condition those organisms that were not functioning properly. Following this instruction as best I could I have improved greatly the past year. Only in the past ten days have I seemed to go back and a condition that has caused me some uneasiness. I want you to give a rdg., review my case and show wherein I have failed and what is necessary to completely restore a normal condition.
   "In the rdg. mentioned [953-12] you gave me much valuable instructions regarding financing and managing business affairs, which has been a great help during the past yr. Now I need more such instructions regarding personal occupation, climatic conditions and location as would improve health and business, especially instruct in re future managing of the enterprise in which we are engaged, the success of which will mean so much to those associated and to the carrying on, in a greater way, of that noble work to which you are devoting your life. In taking this rdg. do not ask specific questions. Only be advised of the prudence of this letter request which you have previously read. Then discourse the two subjects in a way that will be understandable to practical application covering the yr. 1926 fr. date."

REPORTS

1. 2/05/26 "I rec'd today the rdg. of the 1st [953-19] and am very much pleased with it. Of all the good rdgs. you have given me I think this one gives an outline more clearly of my physical condition so far as I can check it than others have. That is, it is more understandable. The comments on special conditions and my failure to follow clearly past instructions in some instances are absolutely correct and most wonderful even to one who has had many rdgs.
   "I hope the financial and occupational forecasts are to prove as correct as the physical comments and I have every reason to believe they will."
