TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [264] - this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, the conditions physical are very satisfactory. While there has not been as complete elimination as has been desired, or expected by the body in the time given (and these conditions at times produce doubts or fears for the body), we find, however, there are those general conditions that are on the improve, as for the eliminations of these disturbing forces in the body.
3. We find those treatments as have been accorded are very much in line with those things given, and while the improvements are slow, so long as the body-physical is able to hold to those of the creative forces in the system these will continue to be on the improve. We will find that as long as the body is able to hold these constructive forces with the physical and mental application to the body, these will continue to be helpful for the body, and should build up the reserve force and energies of the system in a whole.
4. As for those congestions as arise in the head, in the soft tissue of the nasal cavity, these may best be eliminated by the use of antiseptics that will reduce the swelling or irritation of the muco-membranes of same, and these will also clarify those conditions in the throat and bronchi, relieving that tickling and little cough that occurs from weakness at times. We would use (put these in boiling water, in this manner - or rotate in this manner, see?):

   Benzosol...............................10 minims,
(This is in liquid, to be sure)
Oil of Eucalyptus......................15 minims,
Benzoin (in liquid).....................5 minims,
Tolu in solution.......................10 minims.

   Inhale the fumes or steam as it arises from same, in nostril and throat.
5. As for that as we find that will be the most helpful in the addition to those treatments now being given, to cause or to produce the entire elimination of the plethora as exists in or on tubes - we would (This as a treatment once each day; at first best to give every other day) place the right hand on the spine from which, at the point from which, the organs of the pelvis receive their nerve impulse, and the left hand over the swelling itself - see? But move occasionally, rather in a rotary motion. Hold the hand on the spine still, and let the electrical forces from the body penetrate or act as the positive and negative forces for producing elimination. These, we will find, should - in three to five weeks reduce this entirely.
6. When the menstrual periods are severe, we will find that a small quantity of Creolin in douche will be soothing and non-irritating to the body. Not strong, but a half teaspoonful to a gallon to a gallon and a half of tepid or warm water.
7. In the properties for the releasing of carbon in system, or oxygen - by the deteriorated carbon that is effected by the use of the light forces, these will be found to be most beneficial if, when the ultra-violet is given, this is applied to the secondary and the direct upper portion of the solar plexus. Because these are not felt as strong in emotions as formerly is the body only adjusting itself to varied conditions, and is just as effective. Do not increase the dose until there is the necessity, from those changes as may be brought about by the application of the magnetic forces through the body. These, as we find, may be best applied by the one making the manipulations or the percussions.
8. As for the diet, keep in that manner as has been outlined, altering or changing to meet the needs of the eliminations and for the blood and nerve building of the system. These have been gone over, and the body understands these variations.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is there a condition in skull on right side of head needing treatment?
    (A) These, as we find, if applied in or for these other variations, would correct themselves.
11. (Q) How long should the treatments be given every other day before beginning every day?
    (A) Until after the next period. When these are given, treat for at least twenty minutes in the beginning, gradually increasing until thirty to thirty-five minutes but no longer period than that.
12. (Q) Would you advise use of gold pessary inserted in the uterus to aid in the eliminations of plethora after menstruation each month?
    (A) These would be very well, but a little bit later not under the present, or at the first period.
13. (Q) In what respects can The Book of Revelation be applied to Gray's Anatomy in aiding this body to become a scientific analyst?
    (A) In that as the anatomical condition of the body is understood, the various references to portions of the Book of Revelation, there is a better understanding of that as occurs in the body when the vibrations are raised within the body through meditation, or through that of fasting and prayer. As is seen by most of the illustrations that are used by John in Revelation, this is speaking of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual body, as are manifested in the various organs of a physical body. Hence an analysis of an individual's experiences as in emotions, as in inability to raise vibrations, comes from and of an overloading, or an aggrandizing of, portions of the ORGANIC forces within a physical body. For, as from the beginning, we find - as has been outlined - the body has rather that ability to PROJECT itself in that direction that was WILLED by the body, so that it - in its assimilation - ABSORBED, or folded OVER, as it were, that which would be assimilated by that body; and, as these began then to take more of the personality, came into the form of a PHYSICAL body much as is seen, or was seen, about them in the various forms as were the inhabitants of that portion of the sphere in which that body or being itself developed. Hence they partook OF, and became a portion of, absorbing all WITHIN themselves so that every element WITHOUT a human body is - or finds an expression within some form, or some activity of a LIVING organism. Hence the various activities as are manifested without find a response within the physical organism. A very crude illustration may be seen, as the effect certain pollens have upon individuals of certain vibrations or attunements, and produce irritations in portions of the system at certain periods of the year. Or there may be another seen, as to how that individuals of certain attunements are affected by odors, colors, noises, or the like, dependent upon their vibration to which they have become attuned by the use of that they have applied through their experience in the earth's sphere. Hence we find in Revelation, that the revelation is to the IMAGINATIVE and spiritual BODY - as is expressed, or finds expression through an INDIVIDUALITY. Now get the difference between the personality and the individuality! The individuality of those who would know themselves before the Lord!
14. We are through.

He can return them by parcel post, c.o.d., adding the cost of fixing them. Tell him to get them to me as soon as he can, as you know I won't need that battery many more days.

We are carrying it out in detail, and I am holding a higher consciousness than I have ever held, so that growth will just have to go. It has served its purpose.
