Time of Reading 11:05 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [275]; this we have had before.
2. In SO MANY conditions and so many ways the body is very, very good. There are those disturbing conditions, that are indicated in some SPECIFIC conditions, that make reactions that disturb the body.
3. But these with either the specific or local applications, WITHOUT producing a GENERAL disturbance through the system, should be brought to that desired.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What is the condition of the right front tooth? (A) As we find, there has been a leakage in same; and local attention should be given. Or as we find, preferable would be the REMOVAL of the nerve forces or ends that are disturbed - and this then filled - and with the new character of filling that does not discolor same. This is the preferable manner, as we find.
6. (Q) Should the body carry through the nerve treatments suggested by Dr. Conrad Meibauer, Woolworth Bldg., 233 B'way, N.Y.C.? (A) These are very well, though there are within the body-forces of the body itself as we find, the mental attitudes and the quieting that can be brought about within, that is much more EFFECTIVE. But if there is the desire of the entity to have mechanical assistance to the quieting of the nerve forces, very well. But as we find it can be accomplished much more satisfactorily within self by the right character of meditation and breathing exercise - which would be those with the body seated IN what is ordinarily termed as Chinese or Japanese fashion, and with the chant that has been a
275-45 Page 2
portion of the body - of the Ar-ar-r-r---e-e-e---o-o-o--m-m-m [See 275-45, Par. R1], in the deep breathing and the circular motions of the body, and the carrying of the directing of the spiritual influences and the mental activity to the glandular forces of the body; raising these WITHIN self, and directing them to that to be accomplished would be the manner. Not that this becomes as an Egyptian or an East Indian chant, but keeping the mental attitude of the Christ-Consciousness within that is purifying, is magnifying the abilities for peace, quiet, yet ATTUNING self to the aliveness of not only the emotions but to the mental application for CONSTRUCTIVE experiences in the body and mind. These are much better than depending upon either suggestion from without or the application of any form of electrical or mechanical appliance for the raising of the vibrations for THIS body, [275]. This would not do for ALL, but can be accomplished within self.
7. (Q) Can a new nerve be recreated by spiritual healing if nerve is removed? (A) If nerve is removed, it is removed. By mechanical appliance, IF there are the natures carried within the system, there may be brought about an active force - but not rebuilded. Others, or the extenuation of others to take their places may be wrought.
8. (Q) What can body do to normalize bust? (A) Use a solution of Cocoa Butter with a little Alum in same; which would be a pinch of Alum THOROUGHLY - THOROUGHLY mixed, of course - this with a mortise and pestle would be the better - to an ounce of the Cocoa Butter; or what would be on the point of a penknife to an ounce of the Cocoa Butter. Massage this solution over the bust itself, you see; not close to the tip of the breasts, of course, but more to the GLANDS and the BASE of the bust; very gently but sufficiently that it may be absorbed so that there is the natural contraction from these combinations upon same. This will not only give form but the proper normalcy for the bust, and proper position.
9. (Q) How can body refine pores around nose and chin to invisibility? (A) A gentle massage with the Black and White creams is preferable, as we find. The real Genuine Black and White, see?

10. (Q) Outline diet for three meals a day that would be best for body. (A) Mornings - citrus fruit juices OR cereals, but not both at the same meal. At other meals there may be taken, or included with the others at times, dried fruits or figs, combined with dates and raisins - these chopped very well together. And for this especial body, dates, figs (that are dried) cooked with a little corn meal (a very little sprinkled in), then this taken with milk, should be almost a spiritual food for the body; whether it's taken one, two, three or four meals a day. [See continued recipe below.] But this is to be left to the body itself. [See mummy food in EC's dream 12/2/37, in 294-189, Par. R2.] Noons - such as vegetable juices, or combined with a little meat juices and a combination of raw vegetables; but not EVER any acetic acid or vinegar or the like with same - but oils, if olive oil or vegetable oils, may be used with same. Evenings - vegetables that are of the leafy nature; fish, fowl or lamb preferably as the meats or their combinations. These of course are not to be all, but this is the GENERAL outline for the three meals for the body. But for this particular body, equal portions of black figs or Assyrian figs and Assyrian dates - these ground together or cut very fine, and to a pint of such a combination put half a handful of corn meal, or crushed wheat. These cooked together - well, it's food for such a spiritually developed body as this! [See EC's dream of mummy food 12/2/37 in 294-189, Par R1, R3.]
11. (Q) What kind of fruit juice is best upon rising? (A) When orange juice is taken, always take a little lemon juice with same. Change these, but not too many combinations. Lime may be used with a little of the grapefruit, or the pineapple. Any of these are well, and the changing occasionally is preferable.
12. (Q) Give cause and what body should do about occasional impure complexion. (A) For this there is needed better eliminations through the intestinal tract. Now: The raising of the vibratory forces within the body, in the manner indicated, and the use of the figs with the dates, in the combination as indicated, would aid in eliminating these causes. For it would become more regular with the eliminations, and throw off the greater toxic forces from the natural great

QUANTITY of activity as is this body's needs, as well as the production of refuse or ash force or such in the system, see? There's more energy expended by this body, owing to the general physical conditions, than a normal or an ordinary body. Hence all of these should be taken into consideration. The occasional use again, the body will find, of the Animated Ash will be well - even WITHOUT the violet ray or the use of the violet ray across the lower portion of lung and upper portion of stomach, not over the abdomen or bowels. The quantity would not be more than one eighth grain of the Animated Ash.
13. (Q) Is the chemical reaction of raw milk in coffee the same as cream in coffee in relation to the digestion in the stomach? (A) Well, this depends - to be sure - upon the activity of the system at the time. Cream, to be sure, is less hard, or more easily digested and produces LESS of that hard to be assimilated by portions of the system. But in coffee it is PREFERABLE for the body to use neither cream nor milk. Of course, cream is less harmful - and of course carries more food value, of a different nature. But there is a portion in same that becomes gradually hard upon the activity of the juices from the pancreas and spleen to the activities upon the system through the lacteals in their absorbing from digestion.
14. (Q) What about sugar in coffee? (A) Brown sugar, of course, is preferable. Sugar is NOT as harmful, provided there is of course not too much sugar taken in other sweets.
15. (Q) What laxative is best for the body? (A) The BEST laxative, of course, is the exercise and the breathing as indicated. Of course, this and the direction of the raised energies by the breathing exercise. So when laxatives are NECESSARY, for this body, use rather vegetables than minerals - and NEVER the combination. Of course, Inner Clean or the like is very well, but this becomes gradually hard upon the colon itself. Senna or the Rhubarb derivative is the better.
16. (Q) Is "Swiss Kriss" equally as good as Inner Clean? (A) BETTER, as far as the colon is concerned.
17. (Q) Should body continue to use Crude Oil before shampooing hair? (A) This as we find is very well. As we find, we would use
275-45 Page 5
this combination of the Drene, or the new character for the shampoo in the present.
18. (Q) Does that take the place of the shampoo? (A) It's preferable for the body. Much has been given the body as to its mental and spiritual development. Intimations have been given as to how certain exercises and foods may aid in material directions in the present. These changes are wrought, to be sure, and not given heretofore owing to specific directions asked in relation to mechanical applications in this present condition. As we find, seek within - use the energies that are known; for thy body is indeed the temple of the living God thy portion, thyself is BEAUTIFUL before Him. Keep that attitude of CONSTRUCTIVENESS, ever! For many, MANY will indeed call thee blessed if ye keep in the way ye have set before thee. Attune thyself to the spheres IN thine own vibrations and ways. Let the Lord keep thee - He desires much of thee!
