TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. As we find, there is a great improvement in this body. There are still those disturbances arising in the soft tissue, or in the lymph circulation. The fullness at the throat at times, the disturbance through the soft tissue in the antrum, - these all give rise to a lack of proper elimination of poisons, that accumulate in the body.
4. In the present, though, as we find, we would leave off those applications for at least eight to ten weeks.
5. But apply, for this body, the Violet Ray; especially to the base of brain, around the face and neck, and down at least to the 9th dorsal; not too strong, but using the bulb applicator. Do this about twice each week, just before retiring, for three to five minutes. But don't just hurry through with it - take the time! Use the bulb applicator, and RELAX. Use it to relax, not to stimulate the body.
6. Keep the better physical, mental and spiritual coordinations in making the application of truth, creative energy forces, in self. And make the application of that it would approach in self, before making application in other directions, see? And these that do not work within self are not so good to pass to others.
7. Do that.
8. Keep the better diets; that is, keep a more universal diet, and this will aid. Fruits, vegetables, nuts; little meats, but fowl and fish do take. [GD's note: Mrs. [2072] had for some time been a diet faddist.]
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Could any immediate measure be used to counteract the occasional intense headache?
    (A) As indicated, this arises from the drying, or the overflowing of lymph; for these are pressures in the soft tissue of the antrum, and in the head and neck forces that produce same. Hence as we find, through these particular periods, use the Violet Ray, see?
11. (Q) Any specific directions for Dr. Richardson?
    (A) Not to do anything for ten weeks!
12. (Q) Should the fume baths and peanut oil massage be continued?
    (A) These are well to be used, for they will aid and stimulate - as the Violet Ray is given. Once a month for these would be sufficient, while the Violet Ray would be twice a week.
13. (Q) Atomidine?
    (A) Leave off for the time being, especially when the Violet Ray is used.
14. (Q) Calcios?
    (A) We would keep up the Calcios.
15. (Q) Are the sunshine and gardening beneficial?
    (A) Sunshine is always beneficial to a body, if it is not overdone.
16. (Q) Are there any conditions in the teeth that need attention?
    (A) We would give some attention to the teeth AFTER at least six to eight weeks of these treatments as indicated.
17. (Q) Is there any danger in using raw milk from our Dewey Dairy under the present crowded conditions in Blackstone?
    (A) This should be pasteurized milk; though for the body, raw milk is advisable.
18. (Q) Is there not a treatment or method that might be used by the entity for the removal of blackheads from the face?
    (A) The general building up of the body forces and the establishing first of correct coordination of eliminations. These will gradually be removed.
    There might be used bleaches, or cleansing creams, but these would eventually give more trouble than the blackheads are causing in the present. Get to the basic conditions of these, as being accomplished through the use of the fumes, the rubs, and now the Violet Ray.
19. (Q) Is there any further information to be given at this time regarding the periodical purifying fast?
    (A) These as we find are to be considered as a general condition, rather than a specific. If there will be kept these in a purely coordination or cooperation with the diets, these will be much better. For, much of this must be from the mental, rather than from the real effects of the properties, or the effect created in the body.
    When these become, then, lacking in a supply to the body forces of the amount of fats, it becomes more harmful than beneficial to the physical effects in the body, see?
20. (Q) For the general knowledge of the entity, will you give "the four principles necessary to be present in the activity of a normal body" and give their function?
    (A) Heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys. These are the four major principles of a physical organism - if we are considering from the pathological condition. If we are considering from the mental - these are the abilities for the mental forces to attune along the centers of the body that necessary coordination between lymph, elimination and digestive forces of the body. These keep a normal balance.
21. (Q) What relation do the vitamins bear to the glands? Give specific vitamins affecting specific glands?
    (A) You want a book written on these!
    They are food for same. Vitamins are that from which the glands take those necessary influences to supply the energies to enable the varied organs of the body to reproduce themselves. Would it ever be considered that your toenails would be reproduced by the same as would supply the breast, the head or the face? or that the cuticle would be supplied from the same as would supply the organ of the heart itself? These are taken from GLANDS that control the assimilated foods, and hence the necessary elements or vitamins in same to supply the various forces for enabling each organ, each functioning of the body to carry on in its creative or generative forces, see?
    These will begin with A, - that supplies portions to the nerves, to bone, to the brain force itself; not all of this, but this is a part of A.
    B and B-1 supply the ability of the energies, or the moving forces of the nerve and of the white blood supply, as well as the white nerve energy in the nerve force itself, the brain for [force?] itself and the ability of the sympathetic or involuntary reflexes through the body. Now this includes all, whether you are wiggling your toes or your ears or batting your eye, or what! In these we have that supplying to the chyle that ability for it to control the influence of fats, which is necessary (and this body has never had enough of it!), to carry on the reproducing of the oils that prevent the tenseness in the joints, or that prevent the joints from becoming atrophied or dry, or to creak. At times the body has had some creaks!
    In C we find that which supplies the necessary influences to the flexes of every nature throughout the body, whether of a muscular or tendon nature, or a heart reaction, or a kidney contraction, or the liver contraction, or the opening or shutting of your mouth, the batting of the eye, or the supplying of the saliva and the muscular forces in face. These are all supplied by C, - not that it is the only supply, but a part of same. It is that from which the structural portions of the body are stored, and drawn upon when it becomes necessary. And when it becomes detrimental, or there is a deficiency of same - which has been for this body, it is necessary to supply same in such proportions as to aid; else the conditions become such that there are the bad eliminations from the incoordination of the excretory functioning of the alimentary canal, as well as the heart, liver and lungs, through the expelling of those forces that are a part of the structural portion of the body.
    G supplies the general energies, or the sympathetic forces of the body itself.
    These are the principles.
22. (Q) Is there any method of keeping moths from woolens other than by using moth balls or decadent smelling preparations? Silver-fish from destroying papers?
    (A) We have no moths; and we don't have woolens!
23. We are through for the present.

What are the three major colors as manifested in the personality, the Ego, and the Monad of this entity? 15. What colors correspond with what tones of the musical scale? Do R, O, and M correspond to any tone, tones, or chord in music? 16. How did the postal card, mailed to my grandmother in June of 1933 get from Los Angeles to Wei Hsien (Wa si en') China?]
