TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [3861], present in this room, and his mental, physical and material affairs. You will give advice and counsel for the betterment of any of these, and answer the questions which he will ask concerning these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [3861] - this we have had before.
3. In the physical there are changes somewhat in the conditions, yet - as we find - were those suggestions given regarding the physical conditions carried out, there would be much bettered and nearer normal physical conditions. Unless there IS some material change, these must continue to give distresses, and once they have grown to those proportions where they hinder the functioning of the organs, these would be distressing indeed. We would find much easier, much more certain corrections, by following those outlines as we have given.
4. In the mental and material conditions, changes here, too, have come about. Some are bettered, in that the associations and relations are more thoroughly understood, and as to what may be EXPECTED in their relationships. In some it would be well for these to be removed from the relationships, these that we have had before, in that that hinders the development of some where correlations of interests with others would bring bettered conditions. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Is an operation necessary?
   (A) Not in the present. Where there are inflammations increasing, by the conditions becoming more and more aggravated from disorders in system, these may produce such tensions that operation would be necessary; that is, in the gland operation, but were those things carried out as we have outlined, we do not find that it would be necessary for an operation at all.
6. (Q) What is the future of National American Company, and how will I be involved?
   (A) This depends entirely upon the activities in directions as relating to those holdings in these companies. As to the involvement of the body in this direction, these will depend upon the ACTIVITIES OF the body as respecting interests held in several directions.
7. (Q) Is John Dilliard acting honestly in his relationships with me?
   (A) He, Dilliard HIMSELF, honest in the activities. There are influences that are being brought to bear UPON him, that their ultimate end is not in or for the best interests of the body.
8. (Q) Should I continue business relationships with John Dilliard?
   (A) This in many respects, as we find, would be well, for the wits of the body are above his! Not that advantages should be taken, but meet all of those differences with that that is known by self to be of the more sound JUDGEMENT.
9. (Q) Will John Dilliard remain with the National American and its affiliated companies? If so, how long?
   (A) That would depend. That's a very BROAD question. It depends upon so many interests, and so many individuals in their activity. As to how long, or how great an interest.
10. (Q) How long will I remain with the National American?
    (A) As long as the body WISHES to!
11. (Q) As I have business associations with Dilliard outside of the National American and affiliated companies, should I trust him in these dealings?
    (A) Where the interests are for those of Dilliard's personal interest, and not as a representation of someone USING Dilliard, well. Where there's someone using him, would be different.
12. (Q) Will the Eclipse Fountain Pen Co., in which I am financially interested, continue in business or will it be closed out?
    (A) If there's some interest in same that could be, or would be, moved out, it might continue in business, or there may be correlations made with others - as has been given - that would aid same in making a success.
13. (Q) Any other advice for this body?
    (A) As we would find, the advice is: Be more mindful of those warnings that have been given as respecting the physical body, and do not allow self to become so overtaxed that it would be necessary for undergoing strains that would be very hard on the physical body.
14. We are through for the present.
