TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, and those conditions of material and mental nature, as well as the physical conditions of the body.
2. As we find, while there ARE the acute conditions from the poisons and toxic forces of the body, these as we find should be materially aided with the eliminations set up the better.
3. Also we would find it well, in the manipulations, that there be given more consideration to the lumbar axis and to the nerve centers centering about the coccyx end of the spine. Thus there will not only be better eliminations, but this tendency for the agitans when there is the attempt to centralize or localize the activity of the mental and physical reactions will be much improved.
4. We would keep the activities of the low electrical forces carrying the vibratory forces also.
5. These we find will make for better improvements.
6. As for the mental attitudes regarding the business associations:
7. While the body is so AGGRAVATED by pain, these should NOT be made too great a worry. But as soon as there IS an easing of same (which should be by the latter portion of the coming week - if these changes are made and these applications followed in the manipulations as suggested), there should be a call meeting of those that are associated in the varied undertakings; and the ASKING - not unkindly, not in a questioning manner but the asking for - an ACCOUNTING of the conditions of the finance corporation, the activities of all occupying offices and properties that make for incomes to the body and to those activities of same.
8. And these we find - if they are conducted without animosity, but ALWAYS with someone as a witness to everything said - will clarify much of the conditions.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Should any medicinal properties be taken to assist the eliminations?
    (A) These have been indicated - as the oils, and the irrigations when necessary, as indicated.
    Use more of the oils - internally - the Olive Oil; just so there is not so much given as to cause regurgitation or fermentation of same with the gastric flow.
11. (Q) Regarding The ... Motor Finance Co. which Mr. [...] has been managing for me during the past 3 years: How may I get a fair deal in this company?
    (A) As indicated. As soon as possible for the body - in speech, in activity and without too great excitement - call a meeting and ask for an ACCOUNTING of the whole situation. As advisory, see?
12. (Q) Regarding the possessions which Mr. [...] left to me, along with the business, when he died on Jan. 21, 1935: How and where may I find the set of Dickens' Works, the diamond stick pin, the gold mounted fountain pen and other things? Is it possible for me to get them?
    (A) These as we find have been disposed of. The Dickens' Works, of course, CAN be returned - but this would only cause, as we find, too much animosity, too much questioning with those associated with same, for their valuation. It's too great a reaction upon the mental attitude of the body. For, so long as resentments or animosities are created by the activities, these work as poisons upon the physical reactions of the body itself.
    Just in the same manner as indicated in how the fright of an animal, or of a body, just after eating causes such an entanglement in the digestive forces - and the juices that are thrown out by the assimilating organs - as to upset the whole system. Have as little of these as possible.
    Know that so long as self THINKS right, DOES right, and ASKS for the same from others - in not a demanding but in a commendatory manner - these will bring about much better understanding.
13. (Q) Who would be best to manage my business affairs?
    (A) Those that are the closer associated with the entity in the present, as we find.
14. (Q) As I am not able to even countersign checks, yet, myself.
    (A) As has been indicated.
15. (Q) Regarding the $3,000 mortgage that Mr. [...] took a year ago last August, which I held at 8%, telling me nothing about it until the man came to lift the mortgage, which he couldn't till I signed it: Can I recover this interest?
    (A) Since it has been signed away, not legally. But by the very activity, by the very considerations that were shown, there SHOULD be an adjustment in same at least.
16. (Q) How may I prevent Mr. [...]'s activities concerning the business without my permission?
    (A) Then recall; or with the call of the meeting, appoint LEGALLY someone to represent self IN the way and manner that is commanded or recommended by the law itself.
17. (Q) Can you suggest such an one that would best to do this?
    (A) This should be chosen by self, rather than from here. Rather choose one in whom there is explicit confidence and faith, not only as an individual but as to his spiritual as well as business and mental capacities and abilities.
18. (Q) What lawyer is best to adjust all of this, that will deal fairly with me, regardless of Mr. [...]'s friendship and prestige?
    (A) Well, ANYONE so he is not given BLANK authority! that is well acquainted with the VALUATION of conditions as related to the business as a whole.
    Do not give ANY lawyer blank authority or power of attorney. Only ask his advice on matters AS advisory, as an adjuster. And have someone else to handle the affairs themselves, see?
19. (Q) Can you give me the name?
    (A) As indicated, all such should be choices of the BODY - and not from here! For we would judge from their spiritual intents or purposes, rather than from their abilities physically or otherwise; and these are material conditions - hence the choice should be made by the entity herself.
20. (Q) Why have I not been paid the office rent for the three businesses carried on in the office?
    (A) This has been considered by some not to be required. Thus, as indicated, it would be well - as soon as the body is physically able, without causing animosity, resentment or too great a strain - to call a meeting of such in the HOME of the body, see? and let an accounting be made! Let there be a change of handling of the things, the signing of checks; the change of attorney to handle same and to look into the affairs - and let these be called in and be a part of such a meeting!
    There should not be, on the part of ANY connected, any resentment - owing to the physical conditions of the body. But let it be understood that owing to the whole situation, such is necessary for the very preservation of the best interests of the body now and for future settlements and activities.
21. (Q) Can you tell me regarding the diamond ear rings that were left in the safe, which I had never seen before? Who put them there?
    (A) Self put them there, but they were part of that given by one for an activity that has been a part of a settlement.
22. (Q) May I return them to the right person?
    (A) Better keep them.
23. (Q) Is there any way I can get back rent which should come to me?
    (A) Such things as these should all be decisions of the attorney chosen for the activities of the whole situations.
24. (Q) Regarding the things which disappeared from my house a year ago last summer, when I left Mrs. [...], ..., Ala., in charge for three months as housekeeper: Can you tell me who took the household goods, the two valuable set rings and one diamond ear ring (leaving the other), a $5 gold piece and numerous other little things? May I recover these?
    (A) These are things that enter into that considered by some as Right and Wrong. There should be asked by the attorney, of the one in charge, to give an accounting of the stewardship during that period. Not as in a way to cause troubles, animosities or resentments to be built up, but rather as that which is right and just to the INDIVIDUALS as well as to self!
    There is a great difference in the approach that may be made in such. That it has been allowed to pass without question thus far makes for a great disturbance to others. But in the manner indicated, as we find, would be the better.
    But know, DO NOT cause ANYONE that which you would not like to have caused to thee. But ask for, expect, live in self justice and right; and we will find that coming back to thee.
25. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 2/20/38 Letter from [760] to EC: "...Mrs. [1433] has been feeling so bad. Just couldn't get a chance [to write].
   "It took two of us to get her up in the Drs. office yesterday. She just has no life in her. Says 'I am just tired' - doesn't seem to be in as much pain as usual, just limp, just no control at all of her feet and legs and can't help to hold herself up at all. Just bends clear over when I take her up. I am feeding her everything I know to strengthen her; I haven't gotten her bowels to move now for two days. Gave her a high enema yesterday and today with no results. Am giving her olive oil four times a day and Castor Oil packs every day. She just wants to sleep during the day, but stays awake most of the night. It is now 1:30 o'c. and she would not eat a bite of dinner. I am going to give her a dose of Castor Oil before she eats again. I was just wondering if it was possible to get any information about her physical condition when you get her other reading - I didn't know. I think she is better in some ways, but don't understand this limp, no life condition, unless it is toxic from her bowels.
   "Did you get the telegram asking you to send a bottle of Atomidine? I didn't know where else to send for it. Couldn't get it here or at Mobile - was afraid to send to the H.H.R.C., Norfolk; didn't know whether anybody was there, and thought you could have it sent C.O.D. She hasn't had her battery now since last Thursday on account of the Atomidine being changed. Sent the telegram Friday night, but haven't heard anything from it. Mrs. [1433] name was signed to the telegram. Yes, the date you sent is alright. She never goes out in the morning. I do hope she gets some satisfactory information, for is counting big on it. Feel sorry for her, for everybody here that can get a chance at her through her different business dealings tries to gouge her, just because she is not able to attend to business much. Has to depend on someone else; but you will never be known in any of it, for had me to destroy your letter and said when your letter came with the information is put it with mine so nobody would ever get hold of it. She has found out since meeting you the men using her office are paying rent but she is not getting it..."
2. 2/24/38 Letter from EC to [760]: "...Am glad Mrs. [1433] is on the improve. Know it must be very slow and a very trying place for you, but now don't know what she would do without you, unless she went to a hospital where she could have someone with her at all times, and then am sure she would not last long and they would possibly have everything she has before they got through..."
3. 3/31/38 She submitted questions for another reading (via Mrs. [760]).
4. 4/07/38 See 1433-4.
