TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [470].
3. As we find, there are very good conditions in the main.
4. For those inclinations or tendencies which have been indicated, it would be well to have the artichoke as a part of the diet occasionally. We find that this may be obtained from the John A. Salzer Seed Company, LaCross, Wisconsin - the Jerusalem artichoke.
5. As to the increase in weight, - this may be controlled by the grape juice way, rather than any particular dieting; just requiring that the body refrain from too much sweets and starches.
6. Use the leafy vegetables rather than the dried.
7. Rather often we would include fish in the diet, but prepared in varied manners.
8. Have plenty of exercise such as walking, or golfing, or the like, when practical, so as to keep the body in very good condition.
9. Occasionally we would have a thorough relaxing by the hydrotherapy way, with a good massage following same.
10. Doing these, we find that the body should keep in a very good physical condition.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Should any foods be left out of the diet entirely?
    (A) As indicated, not too much of sweets or starches; but just a well balanced diet. No carbonated waters, to be sure.
13. (Q) Please give me some spiritual advice that will be helpful during the present chaotic condition of the world.
    (A) Let that mind be in thee as was manifested in Him, the Christ; with those attitudes of not condemning any, but giving those of every position their right of thought. For, know that no individual is in any position of power or might, or of any other, save as an opportunity for meeting those problems that are his in relationship to others and to the world.
    Hence no animosity, no hate, - these should be the attitudes of this entity, as well as of others - at this time.
14. We are through with this Reading.
