1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [295], present in this room, the problems that confront her at the present time, and her desire to go west. Please advise her what is best procedure under the present circumstances, taking into account all phases of her life, emphasizing the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of same. You will answer the questions as they are asked.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [295] - this we have had before. Now, in considering the physical conditions that exist, there are many warnings that have been given the body concerning the corrections that should be made. These have only partially been done, and the conditions that exist - as has been given - give an opportunity, or present a condition where the predispositions physically are not good, and unless precautions are taken the results MUST be bad. Better do as has been given!

3. As to the desires - if that is the desire, there's nothing more to say! for these must be of the own making; for God Himself does not take away nor overcome desire. The WILL and desire are man's attribute, that make them one with or separate them from His presence. Do as seemeth best in the associations of self's own relations, and as the dictates of thine own conscience. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) In regard to the eyes, is it wise to discontinue the use of the glasses altogether? (A) Not unless those corrections, as has been given, are made. If these are made the conditions may be overcome.

5. (Q) Please advise just how she can manifest in the earth plane to be the best channel for good? (A) Make the body fit for the channel first! Then the spiritual may have the OPPORTUNITY to manifest through; for, as has been given, few people, few individuals, may be able to manifest with a liver in bad shape, or suppressions in any portion of the system, no matter whether in cervical or the upper dorsal (as in this body, or those suppressions or

corrections necessary in the pelvic organs). These make for conditions wherein the mental forces are UNABLE to manifest properly. The PHYSICAL must be fit, and the SPIRITUAL forces may manifest the better.

6. (Q) How many treatments would it take to correct this? (A) That would depend upon the treatments and upon the actions of the body while they are being taken! Some might make it in six, some might make it in forty-six!

7. (Q) Has the body physically improved since the time of the last diagnosis? (A) In so far as corrections have been made, considerable! but that's only partial, and in a good position to go back!

8. (Q) Would it be better for all concerned for her to stay in Virginia Beach, or go to San Antonio to live? (A) If the desire is to go to San Antonio, then go! If the desire is to stay in Virginia Beach, then stay!

9. (Q) Would a trip back home at the present time produce a more settled frame of mind, taking into consideration her financial status and the expense of the trip? (A) Be more than apt to make it more turmoil!

10. (Q) How can she overcome the indecisions and turmoils that beset her whenever there is a serious occasion for a decision to be made? (A) Take it to Jesus!

11. (Q) Would Edwin be happy if she should go to San Antonio with him, and would either have to sacrifice any of their ideals? (A) They certainly would!

12. (Q) Which decision would help her mother the most? (A) To get married!

13. (Q) If she should go to San Antonio, could she still help in the work in which she has been engaged in Virginia Beach? (A) That would depend upon herself!

14. (Q) What is meant by "Do not kick against the pricks" as given in her reading of November 10, 1930? (A) Just what is said. Where there are trials or tribulations, indecisions, make thine self one with the spiritual forces. What was meant when the answer came from heaven, "Do not kick against the pricks"? It means the same thing!

15. (Q) Please give any further advice that will help and benefit this body at this time. (A) This body makes its own decisions! Then make them! We are through. Copy to Self
