Protestant Hosp., Time of Reading Room 106, Cor. 11:00 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Raleigh & Colley Aves., Norfolk, Va. (Body & enquiring mind. You will give a mental and physical reading for this body, with stress upon the physical conditions and answering the questions pertaining to the affairs that are at present worrying the body, as I ask them.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [478].
2. In the physical forces, these we find have been under a great deal of stress and disturbance, but coagulation is taking place in a very nominal manner. There are being applied those things that are well under the existent conditions.
3. Yet, we find much relief might be had through the massage of tendons in the right shoulder and in the upper dorsal and cervical area, and by some alignments in the dorsal and cervical area; for this would relieve a great deal the conditions for the head and the tendency for the direction of the impulses in the sensory system; also alignments in the lumbar and lower sacral area.
4. Even a rub combined of olive oil, tincture of myrrh, equal parts, would in itself be helpful to those portions of the system; only massaging sufficient that the body will absorb.
5. These will make for quicker reactions in the system.
6. The rest, as we find, are very good.
7. To be sure, the mental attitudes of the body as to itself, as to those influences outside of itself, as to those things that are in the mental associations of others having to do with the reactions in the mental attributes of this body, all have their part.
8. But first let the body keep those attitudes that there is purpose in that which is being brought into the experience of the body in the present, and if there will be kept the

directing of the mental influences to the spiritual forces that may manifest, the greater opportunities may come in the experience of the entity for the aid in these directions that it may give not only for self but for others.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Are the spinal punctures which have been made harmful to the body? (A) Let these speak rather for themselves. They do not relieve the pressures.
11. (Q) Is there anything that is not being done that should be done to relieve the physical condition? (A) As we have given, the massage now will be aidful, and the adjustments later for those particular centers in the dorsal and cervical area as related to the tendons in shoulder, arm and lower limbs.
12. (Q) Are there any serious conditions that have resulted from the accident? If so, what should be done for them? (A) As indicated, that application being made is very good under the conditions. The addition of the massage with equal parts oil and myrrh in the present, as we find, will be helpful to this particular portion; and adjustments later. As for any undue conditions, no.
13. (Q) How often should the olive oil and myrrh rub be applied? (A) About once a day, preferably in the afternoon or evening.
14. (Q) Should I attempt to recover damages due to my recent accident from the Insurance Company? (A) As there is the justification for same, and through those channels that are opened both as to the manner the insurance is covered by the individual for its activity and for the preserving of a normal activity in the associations, we would seek recovery then through both channels.
15. (Q) What course should I pursue in this matter? (A) Those that will be required by the terms of the insurance certificate.
16. (Q) Is the opportunity to place my home in the Gov. loan the change mentioned in the last reading that would come about May 1st? (A) This is the opportunity, and - as we find - it would make for better conditions all round if it were so placed at this time.
17. (Q) Is there any other advice or counsel that would be of help to this body at this time? (A) Keep, as indicated, in those lines of the attitudes mentally, and we will find the better conditions in the physical and mental and the spiritual forces of the body responding.

18. (Q) Is there a thought for you to give this body to hold? (A) "Let that mind be in me that will create the right environ for my body, for my mind, and for the purposes and aims that I may be preserved for a service to others," giving praise, thanksgiving and glory unto Him in whom there is life, light and hope.
