1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [370]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are considerable improvements in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
3. The natural reactions, however, from the attending activities of the body, by inducing greater eliminations of the poisons, are shown regarding the blood pressure, the heart's activity; as expressed in the shortness of breath and the dizziness that occurs at times.
4. As we find, many conditions must be taken into consideration by the body. These conditions have been a natural growth, and the system has attempted and does attempt to work with the best that is created in the activities of the body itself.
5. Remember that the attitude of the body - towards circumstances, towards individuals, towards conditions - ever has much to do with creating an environment for disturbing or for helpful things as related to the bodily functions.
6. As there have often been resentments, animosities, yes even at times hate - these have worked with the general conditions of poor eliminations, disturbances through the glandular system as related to the eliminations of the body, the activities of the kidneys and the glandular system as related to same, the poor activity of the liver.
7. Hence we have had an engorgement of the circulation as exists between the heart and the liver itself. Hence it will require time, patience, persistence on the part of the body in keeping the eliminations. Not so much by the constant using of cathartics, that are in their very nature more or less habit-forming - or producing conditions upon which the body depends for its activity (without such things causing those disturbances that make for hardships upon the circulation), but the use of enemas as indicated to keep the

colon cleansed. Also the rubs across those portions of the back and the making of the general attitudes - with EVERY condition arising - more helpful, hopeful; never holding resentments, alleviating the mind from all of those things wherein at times hard feelings are held towards individuals or peoples or circumstances or conditions for activities.
8. Know that there are ever those experiences to be met in the experience of each soul, that must be met. Meet these, not in anger, not in wrath but in gentleness and the fruits of the spirit; not in swearing vengeance or any of those attitudes.
9. And meet the physical forces of the body in the same way and manner. Study all portions of the body, as to their needs, as to their activities.
10. And let the diet and the physical activity be in accord with that which is in keeping with a constructive building within the body and not that that ever tears down.
11. Be consistent throughout.
12. And let thy prayer oft be, in thy deeper meditation: FATHER, GOD, THOU ART LIFE! THOU ART HOPE! THOU ART JUSTICE! THOU ART MERCY! IN THESE MAY I, THY SERVANT, CLAIM THY CARE, THY LOVE; THAT MY BODY MAY BE CLEANSED AS MY MIND MAY BE CLEANSED, THAT I MAY BE BEFORE THEE HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE UNTO THEE TO DO SERVICE TO MY FELLOW MAN IN THY NAME; AND THAT THE GLORY OF THY LOVE AS MANIFESTED IN THE CHRIST, MY SAVIOR, OUR SAVIOR, MAY BE MANIFESTED MORE AND MORE IN EARTH. [5/13/41 "The meditation given me in 1/37, in 370-5, has meant much to me, and from time to time I have gained more understanding, or as much as I can take, as to its meaning - it is so all embracing."]
13. In thine own words magnify these to ALL, to every soul ye meet day by day!
14. And be consistent as to the applications of those suggestions and those activities that may bring about this; for every force and every power in the earth is of Him. Will you use it in His service or in defying Him in thy vainglory?
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
