1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the physical conditions in and of this body, from the physical viewpoint, very good, and there is little to be accomplished for the physical; yet there are those conditions with this body that bring about conditions that are unsatisfactory to the MENTAL forces of the body, and this in turn brings detrimental effects to the physical in some ways and manners; yet, would the body give to the mental INTUITIVE forces of self that equilibrium necessary in the mental attitude of self toward self and others, we would find quick recuperation to the physical body.
4. Now, in the mental, we find there are those conditions that have arisen in the mental that bring to the entity those conditions that are hard to be understood from the viewpoint the entity has taken toward self and others.
5. Then, to bring the normal forces, mentally and physically, to this body, THERE MUST BE, WITHIN THE ENTITY'S OWN INDIVIDUAL SELF, ITS (the entity's) RESPONSIBILITY TO SELF AND TOWARD THE WORLD, AND TO THE PEOPLE WHOM THE ENTITY CONTACTS FROM TIME TO TIME; for the entity must realize that NOT ONLY as a cog in the world DOES THIS ENTITY occupy a place in the present condition of affairs, BUT THAT THE WORLD DEPENDS UPON THIS ENTITY TO DO ITS PART TOWARD THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHOLE OF THE POPULACE OF THE WORLD! There CANNOT be any GOOD, morally, mentally, PHYSICALLY, that there is not an expenditure of self for same, and the entity must awaken that within self WHEREIN this moral, mental and physical responsibility will RESPOND to those conditions that are about self, for THESE are the ways of Life. Let not those disappointments that have come into the life take away from those conditions wherein the entity is to give unto others of self, in time, in MENTAL FORCES. This is

wherein the entity brings HARM to self, and brings upon self those conditions wherein the physical suffers, the mental is in anguish, and those conditions that present the self to the entity from time to time is SELF and self's ways that must be overcome!
6. Then, in these STILL, SMALL, QUIET hours, let entity take stock of self, and in this choose a companion that will GIVE to the entity an interest in the affairs of life; that is, in the activities of the duties that are obligations to the entity's physical existence.
7. We see the entity will understand these.
8. Take up those exercises that bring about the calisthenics! Take up those that bring about those actions of physical forces in the body that expend the physical STRENGTH of body! Not only as the livelihood, but as a PURPOSE! Then the PURPOSEFUL SELF, expended in the way and manner, will bring physical, moral, mental, and spiritual happiness. Do that.
9. We are through for the present.
