TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [404]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Disregarding all suggestions previously given -
   (A) (Interrupting) This is impractical, for the results of conditions or the effects today are reactions from those conditions which have existed in the physical body.
   As to applications, - you may disregard any or all that may have been given. But if the body would gain that better physical condition, there must be the attitude of forgetting all that has caused those disturbing forces within the body.
   For, remember, as has been given, "Today - TODAY - now - if ye will accept, if ye will set thyself in order - is the acceptable day of the Lord."
   These are practical suggestions. To be sure, use those material activities that are a part of the experience, but to be healed - as ye would heal others - is to accept WHOLLY that which has been. For, if ye would be forgiven, ye will forgive. And that which is forgiven is remembered no more.
5. (Q) Please give suggestions and corrections for the present disturbances especially with regards to the whole of the left leg and thigh, the colon, the liver and kidneys.
   (A) As has been indicated, purify the colon; this preferably with two colonic irrigations, at least eight to ten days apart. Preferably have these given scientifically, but have the waters body temperature. To each half gallon of water used, put a heaping teaspoonful of salt and a level teaspoonful of soda; using at least two gallons of water. Then in the last gallon of the rinsing or cleansing water, use at least two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline.
   Do use the salt and vinegar as a massage over hip, down the sciatic nerve and under the knee. This would be done at least once or twice each day; not using a saturated solution, but rather dampen the salt with the vinegar, see? and use only Apple Vinegar, not that which is synthetically made.
   But mainly keep that mental attitude as indicated.
6. (Q) What causes swelling and tautness in the thick of the thigh?
   (A) NERVES - from those attitudes, as well as this supplying a pathological condition that SHOULD be corrected with purification of the alimentary canal, AND the alleviation by the absorption of that used as a massage.
7. (Q) What is condition of liver?
   (A) This, to be sure, is the area most affected by suggestions, as it is both an excretory and a secretive functioning. This as we find varies considerable, but the tendencies in the present are for torpidity.
   With the better attitudes, with keeping laxative foods rather than taking too much of cathartics or laxatives, we should find better conditions.
   We would continue to use laxative foods such as brans (though these would necessarily be combined with figs or dates, or fruits; for bran of itself would be too heavy); figs, fruits, raw and fresh vegetables. These are the laxative foods.
8. (Q) Should I continue to take Simmons' Liver Regulator?
   (A) If this is necessary - but not during the periods that the colonics are taken, for this would become too great a purge. For, the first of the colonics should be taken soon, see?
9. (Q) What vitamins are lacking in this body?
   (A) Not so much the lack of vitamins here as it is the lack of activity of organs. These are more as congestions, thus making those pressures or poisons in portions of the body.
10. (Q) What causes swelling and fever in the breasts at times?
    (A) This comes from those distresses or pressures as indicated from the anxieties in the body.
11. (Q) I was told through these channels about two years ago [See 404-7, Par. 22-A] that menstruation would stop in about 4 to 5 months. It is still with me. Please explain.
    (A) This is from the anxieties in the body, see? and the high nervous tensions under which the body is active at times. This may continue for some time as yet; depending upon the mental and the attitudes of the body.
12. (Q) Please give the body some spiritual advice.
    (A) The body knows in self. Do that it knows to do.
13. We are through with this Reading.
