TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [3752], present in this room. You will give a mental, physical and financial reading for this body, and will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [3752], present in this room.
3. In the physical forces of the body, here we find a body very good in most respects. These ARE conditions as disturb the body-MENTAL, as related to physical conditions and to outside influences. Not so much of the financial interest, as of the surroundings as respecting same.
4. In the physical there are conditions the body should take warnings concerning, and in keeping the body near normal and more physically fit the body-mental and the body-spiritual may function the nearer perfect. In the physical there are tendencies that taken in time may prevent distresses later on. These have to do with the assimilation in the system, and as related especially to the functioning of the organs as to assimilation and the creation of those disturbances wherein the NORMAL condition as called too much sugars accumulate in system. These are NOT so much of the character of the sugar, as too much of the character of plasm that is produced that causes distress in the functioning of the digestive system as related TO such plasm, causing for the kidney and for the pancreas that functioning wherein the blood stream itself becomes changed; for we find no ORGANIC disturbance. Rather that of the functional nature, and will there be precautions taken, and the proper balance kept in this direction, these changes may be wrought in the physical; using as that vibration from the vegetable forces, as will be found in the compound of the ambrosia weed used WITH those of the preservative, carrying with same that of an iodide in the form of the Iodide of Potassium that, with the preservative, may be made, that will keep the system near the correct vibration. Not in a habit forming, not in a changing - other than that of being mindful of diet, keeping the proper exercise in the open, taxation of the system in the physical and mental being kept near normal.
5. In the mental body, this presents something of a differentiation. In the active forces of the body in the mental, there are circumstances and conditions that become to the body a mere drag, and there is often felt that there is not sufficient incentive for the activities of the body mental as there should be, or as there has been. This produced much by the condition of the lethargy in the physical function; NOT mental, but strain on the physical body, and this producing the reaction on the mental system is, IN its reaction, much that keeps this tautness in the conditions.
6. In the financial forces of the system, or the body financial, as they present themselves in the mental and physical forces of this body, these need only that care and attention as has been given by the body, physical and mental, to preserve intact that as has been the accumulations and the possibilities for the body to bring these to WHATEVER state or whatever purport to the body, is that as is desired for same. Desire is of the mental being, and is an attribute of that IN the physical AND mental as may be trained in the mental body. THESE, for THIS body, [3752]. [3752] need be kept more in accord with that of the spiritual life as the body finds not answering at all times to the desires of the body. The physical, the mental, the spiritual, are one - and in accord with that as is builded may a body find that contentment of the purposes of the abilities of the mental AND spiritual kept in attunement with that being sought. Do no lose the fact that the ideal of the body is NOT attainable, but that the striving for same IS that that keeps the balance in the mental, in the physical, and the financial. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What suggestion have you to make that would add to entity's peace of mind?
   (A) That is as has just been given. Find that the ideal is unattainable, that to be sure - this the body has lost hold of, an respecting its spiritual life. The necessity of constant attaining and attaining without the use of same in bringing that same vision of the ideal as held by self into the lives, the minds, of others, is that to which the entity should give MUCH of self. Not as one that would seek to gain for self, and GAIN in same, save as in the use of the abilities IN self to make life more worth while for the OTHER fellow; for one may only gain the vision of the promises within self and self's relation to the Creative Forces, by assisting the other fellow. Not that the God of the Fathers, or of man, needs any aid of any man at any time, but lending to the Lord IS gained through aid to the other fellow.
8. (Q) What do you recommend for the two slight physical inconveniences or ailments?
   (A) As has been given, when attunement is kept in the physical forces, there will be changed in the body all of those as produce the proper vibrations in system for the correction of these. Have this prepared, in the manner as may have been given, and we will find that, KEEPING the body physically fit is only keeping the mental and the physical in accord with that of the spiritual insight OF a body.
9. (Q) Is it advisable to continue with present business arrangements?
   (A) For the present, sure. Find self first in that as is the DESIRE of the self, in gaining an insight as to the best USE of self's abilities.
10. (Q) What would you suggest as a stock speculation for the next few months?
    (A) Industrials and rails.
11. (Q) Which of my present holdings will prove most profitable during 1930?
    (A) Those that have most to do with the combination of these two, as given - and one of them has.
12. (Q) Will Trent Process prove a big money maker for me?
    (A) Not for the present. They will, eventually.
13. (Q) What would you advise my doing with my extra quarter of a Stock Exchange Seat?
    (A) In April or May dispose of same for the best value as will be during this present year.
14. (Q) Should I buy National Cash Register for a big and quick turn?
    (A) Be a longer than a quick or big turn, but will eventually be good. There are some re-financing in this to be carried forward. As this is brought about, then the changes will be the better.
15. (Q) What sort of a year will 1930 be for me?
    (A) What the body makes it! physically AND mentally!
16. (Q) Shall I dispose of my common stocks in the next six months and buy bonds, or stand pat?
    (A) Stand pat!
17. (Q) Shall I continue to heed the financial advice of Scudder, Stephens and Clark?
    (A) These are very good at times; at others they have been found very unsatisfactory. The entity may gain for self, through self's own concept of the business associations and business relations, that which would be more satisfactory for self.
18. (Q) Have you any suggestions to make that would add to the happiness of my family?
    (A) Make life livable and worth while for self, and it will also be for others. We are through.
