TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body [5191].
3. As we find, there are rather serious disturbances here. Portions of these, if the body will accept it, are karmic. Here we have a lovely body and yet hindered through an unseeming accident, brought to the inability of activity; incapacitating the body, as to prevent normal activities, by the crushing of the segments here in the lumbar and sacral areas, as well as producing a dislocation in the 8th dorsal.
4. As we find, this can be helped if there will be the use of the Radio-Active Appliance for an hour each day. This would be attached to the left wrist, right ankle; right wrist, left ankle. Keep the plates very clean. Do clean when putting on and when taking off. Do make sure that the one first attached is first attached each day.
5. These applications should be followed with a massage along the spine, and once a week the lower limbs should be massaged also, with cocoa butter.
6. Do this, and use this period, when the Appliance is attached each day, as the period for prayer and meditation; in the entity's own words, changed only to meet the awakenings as come to the entity, as this:

   FATHER, GOD! IN THY MERCY AND LOVE BE THOU CLOSE TO ME
DAY BY DAY, THAT IN MY WEAKNESS AND THROUGH THY STRENGTH
I MAY BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING TO SOMEONE! GIVE THOU,
GOD, THAT STRENGTH-PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL, THOU

   SEEST I HAVE NEED OF ANY MAY MY PRAYER EVER BE, "THY
WILL, O GOD, BE DONE IN AND THROUGH ME EACH DAY."

7. We are through with this reading.
