1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find while there have come some conditions that would indicate there was the continuation of the growth or accumulation in those portions where disorders have been indicated, this - as we find - has NOT reached a condition where it may not be controlled by the body-mind itself, with those applications that may aid in this condition becoming eliminated. While there are indications, too, of the blood supply being defective, this has not reached a point where it may not also be supplied or replenished. The condition continues to be not of a fibrous or fibroid nature; rather the gathering of fluid, or of a plethora, that takes of the vitality of the system. The worry mentally, the activity physically, has caused this condition to arise in the present.
2. We would continue in the treatments that have been outlined for the body.
3. When there is the excruciating pain, that comes at times - across the portion of the body where it is experienced, but from the back side rather than from the front - we would apply stupes of mullein. These, as we find, will aid in reducing the pressure, also in separating the condition - that may produce eliminations of it from the body.
4. We will find also that, with the massage and the treatments, occasionally - for the resuscitation of the vitality in the body - the use of the violet ray will be most beneficial. This would be applied in those centers from the upper lumbar to at least the 5th and 6th dorsal. This should be applied until there is the feeling of the whole internal forces being electrified. This would be better than the deeper manipulations, and better than the deeper rays.
5. The addition to the body occasionally of the medicated ash will also aid materially. The dosage of this would be one-eighth grain twice each day. Be sure there is a dose
264-11 Page 2
taken just before the violet ray is given, and at such a violet ray treatment this should last for at least ten to fifteen minutes, while others would be from three to five minutes - see? Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is body making progress under present treatments and should they be followed as they are being given? (A) As outlined, follow that which has been given. These additions are to enable the body - These are the active forces with these; see how they coincide with that the body is building in self: The stupes - that may be given under pain - are to RELIEVE the strain, that the body may hold that consciousness within self as seeing the conditions removed from the body. The medicated ash releases oxygen in the system, UNDER the treatment of electrical vibrations - which breaks up the units of oxygen, as to supply more vitality to the blood itself in relieving distress. With the holding of those applications that have been outlined, these will keep the body in an attunement where the worries physical, the worries mental, may be made ONE WITH the enabling of the body to continue to build. The body, while under stress, has NOT gone backward. Why change? unless the body finds the conditions become unbearable!
7. (Q) What causes irregular heart beat when battery is applied? (A) The system's attempting to adjust itself to the PROPER coordination of extremities of the body. This makes for a FEELING of losing self, and irregularity, but it's very NECESSARY - unless we would have a condition setting up that would become organic in its nature!
8. (Q) What adjustment of 2nd dorsal? (A) The adjustments in the upper dorsal region will allow the nerve centers to release the pressures that are produced by the bearing down in the pelvic or the lower regions, and these we would make. As is seen, it is to the left - then make it to the right, see? so that there is a perfect alignment.
9. (Q) Should battery and castor oil and salts packs be continued? (A) These are to be continued when necessary. The stupes - across the lower portion of the abdomen, or the small of the back - as given, will be more beneficial for THIS pain. The castor oil and salts packs for the liver, or the blood supplying area, are well. These may be gradually diminished as the conditions build up.

10. (Q) How often should battery be taken? (A) This should be taken at least every other day.
11. (Q) What causes tenderness in right and left anterior lateral lumbar region? (A) This produced by the bearing down of the conditions in the pelvis themselves. Hence the application of the stupes, as given, will be to relieve this pressure, and tending to cause a separation in the engorgements themselves.
12. (Q) Is growth being absorbed and eliminated? (A) HAS been! In the present, not being absorbed - but being set in a position where, with being taken care of, it will be eliminated - if there is held that attitude in self that has been outlined. Do not see self other than with the conditions ELIMINATED through that already being applied! Do not lose hold on self!
13. (Q) Has growth turned loose from tube and in what position is it now? (A) Not altogether. While it is lower, but will be broken up - as is seen from the pressure in the anterior portions of the system.
14. (Q) It is small enough to pass from body now? (A) Will be with the application as given.
15. (Q) If present mental attitude is held, how long before growth will be eliminated? (A) Don't worry and we will KEEP the mental attitude! The present mental attitude is well, but there have been periods when hold on self was lost momentarily. The intuitive forces within self are being magnified. The entity sees, gains, many influences from the outside that are not always well. Do not allow others in conversation, or self to question others in their conversation. This being held, much may be builded. Do that.
16. (Q) Is diet correct? (A) Diet is very good. The changes or variations that are made from time to time are well.
17. (Q) Give cause and treatments for headaches. (A) MOST is from worry! When those pressures are relieved, though, in the upper dorsal, this will relieve much of the stress in head.
18. (Q) What is condition of blood? (A) This is exceedingly good, considering the changes.
19. (Q) What mental and spiritual advice for body? (A) Keep self in that mental accord wherein the spiritual forces, that continue to manifest themselves through the physical and mental body, may be as near in accord as possible with that being accomplished. Use physical conditions that exist as an example, when a hindrance or
264-11 Page 4
pressure is brought to bear - physical portions of the body suffer. When the mental and spiritual are allowed to be wavered by exterior influences, then these must suffer in proportion.
