(Q) Week of March 15, 1926. "Saw my mother [
139] with two
lamps shining on the back of her neck. The lights were
administered by Dr. Kraus (the osteopath)."
(A) This, as we see, is the entity's mentality, or body-
mind, weighing with the conscious conditions regarding
conditions, physical, as existent in the earth's plane, and
the subconscious forces viewing these as an experience or
happening. Viewed, then, from this standpoint, we see how
that the subconscious reasons, as it were, with the
body-mind, giving that again as had been presented for the
consideration of the physical mind, and were these applied,
the conditions, as would have been seen, changed, physically.
(Q) Would this treatment have cured my mother or merely
prolonged her life - that is, would this light administration
have definitely cured her, or only partially, or only
probably?
(A) Only in that manner of staying conditions as relate to
physical life, for the conditions as existent in physical
bodies are as of transient, when considered in the light of
a cure, physically, see. That is, as was given that the
condition would be relieved and brought to normal through the
application of the pressure relieved, and blood clarified for
coagulation in tissue strain, this would have in the physical
sense, then, brought relief and cure for body, as is viewed
by the subconscious in this vision presented. Well, then,
that the entity study same; not as that of condemnation to
self, but as application of forces as are viewed physically,
and viewed metaphysically, and viewed from the subconscious.
(Q) Would the second operation have been necessary?
(A) Nor the first, had these been applied when given.
(Q) Monday night, March 22, or Tuesday morning, March 23,
1926. "Something regarding the eating of sweets."
(A) Now, as is seen in this, there has been presented from
time to time, through the various visions of the entity,
regarding the effects in various manners of sweets to the
physical body; of their necessity in certain conditions and
senses for the body, of their action in OTHER conditions for
the body. Then, as this is presented, it indicates that the
body should take in consideration all those conditions as
have been given and apply same, in the light of that as is
known and desired, or undesired, of and for and by the body.
(Q) "A reference to a quarrel with my mother-in-law."
(A) This, as we see, again and again, as has been seen in
other visions, means that the entity should be warned. And
being warned, be forearmed against conditions that would, or
could, arise, that would bring unpleasantness to self and to
others. For if such conditions were to arise in the life,
these would become as strains, mentally and physically, and
unpleasant to many that depend, and should rightfully depend,
for much upon the actions of the entity. Then - then, the
entity should act in that way and manner as to prevent such
occurrences, for same may be done, by taking thought before
unkind, or unthoughted, words are spoken.
We are through for the present.
