TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1377] here - this we have had before. Now, we find there are much the same conditions existent as that when we had same before, and that the application of the mental forces in self, with that of the ability of the entity and body itself to call on and draw radiation from the subconscious and latent forces in self, and in universal energy, will aid and abet the physical forces toward the proper administration of same in their functioning to bring about the near normal forces for self; casting out fear, dependent upon the strength of those elements that will give that as is desired in self, these may be brought about.
2. In the adding of physical attributes aid may be brought through the general administration of those conditions necessary to bring proper coordination in the physical. In the application then of those administrations in manipulation, that will bring proper adjustment and proper distribution of the nerve energy in the cerebrospinal system, and with the proper diet for the body, these will PHYSICALLY aid - yet, as the body must realize, the building must come from within, and is of that nature as that the mind must build.
3. The diet should be rather those of the nature that do not produce acid in ANY form, whether acid producing or acid reaction. LITTLE of the juices or the soups of meats, but rarely if ever meats, save of little wild game, may be taken - and those of the vegetables and fruits that DO NOT produce acid, but are alkalin reacting.
4. To assist assimilation, use those properties as are found in Occy-Crystine. This will aid materially in aiding the assimilation with the physical forces. Do that. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What will reduce the growth in the abdomen?
   (A) This, as has been outlined, brings for the body the proper adjustments for the correction of those conditions as are contrary-wise to normal functioning; for with the proper assimilation, and with the eliminations kept in a nominal manner (and these should be builded in the mental), there WILL be the removal of conditions as are not normal with the body, [1377].
6. (Q) What causes pain that zigzags up the spine?
   (A) Improper coordination of those centers as are subluxated in the lower end of spine, and radiate through the upper portions - and hence follow sympathetic lines. In the activity of the mental abilities of the body, with the proper manipulation, these will disappear.
7. (Q) How often should manipulation be given?
   (A) Every other day.
8. (Q) Osteopath manipulations?
   (A) Osteopath manipulations.
9. (Q) How many treatments will be necessary?
   (A) Dependent upon what is desired! This, as we have given, is first to be builded in the system - that which is desired of self to accomplish, and to be able to accomplish - and when corrections are made, when alleviations are made and corrections made, the body will build - whether one, two, dozen, fifteen, twenty, forty, fifty - the BODY will build, when corrections are made. That's the differentiation in THIS body and one that is a purely a material, or purely a physical minded body.
10. (Q) What foods are alkalin and will digest properly?
    (A) Those that are of the alkalin reaction, as is and may be outlined for same. The juices of fruits - such as oranges, grapefruit, are well. Little egg - though principally the yolk of same may be taken. Those of the lentil, spinach and of lettuce and celery - though these are acid in SOME reactions, these in certain combinations bring the better results. The juices of the protein - of lamb, of beef - but not the meats. Any of wild game juices are well. None but whole wheat or Graham or of rye breads. No white breads for the body.
    When these are followed, we will find these add for the physical. Mind closer the mental reaction. With the correction of these, we will find near a normal body. Do that.
11. (Q) What will relieve the ringing in the ear?
    (A) The pressure as is found in the 5th and 6th cervical.
12. (Q) What will relieve the muscle that kinks in right arm?
    (A) Relieving of pressure in the 3rd and 4th dorsal. These are outlined for the relieving of pressure in the cerebrospinal system, and that as may be builded by the body in its mental and spiritual attributes. Keep close to these.
    That is all the questions.
    Well, too, that the body occasionally - once a day or three times each week - make the water for the body of alternated between elm and saffron water, for the prevention of any irritation throughout the alimentary canal.
13. (Q) What quantity of each?
    (A) How much water does the body drink? Let it all be that during those days. But don't have the effect of not drinking the water. If anything, drink more - for the body should drink plenty of water. THAT'S known by the body innately!
14. We are through for the present.
