Time of Reading 3:45 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Maine. (Body and enquiring mind. Ques. reg. her welfare and development.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [516], this we have had before.
2. While the physical conditions are not as severe as some that we have had here before, we find that better forces would ensue if there would be the application of those influences that we have indicated - through the osteopathic manipulations, etc.
3. The body-mind, the consciousness, seeks conscious development in healing others. Then make conscious application of things in self. THIS consciousness should be a consistent thing throughout: All force, all power by the entity - of good - is accredited (very wisely) to a universal, all-powerful consciousness. Hence those influences that will create a parallel condition within the physical body, that may allow the spiritual elements in a physical body to manifest, may express themselves in whatever manner or method may be necessary to adjust the physical body. It may be through a drug, a mechanical appliance, electrical vibration, or whatever sort of means that may be used to bring about good; for they are all of the same source.
4. Not ALL consciousnesses may be aware - as individuals - of the full flow of the subconscious activity within a body. This, as may be seen, may be demonstrated within this body itself, [516]. For the body finds that while spiritual thought and spiritual food values are essentially supplying elements to a physical body, in the material plane it is necessary also that material food values be taken for sustaining not only the physical forces but the spiritual elements as well; to keep them in contact or as parallel one to another in their activity.
5. So it is with all force and influence or activity in a physical body.

6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What should I do for my glandular condition? (A) As indicated. Have those osteopathic adjustments made, so as to allow drainages within the system to such an extent that the influences hindering the glands will become normal; so that their reaction will become much more normal.
8. (Q) Should I follow the entire treatment as outlined for me previously through these sources? (A) Follow the entire treatment.
9. (Q) Is it wise for me to go to Egypt with the Amore, sailing via Mediterranean, Feb. 1, 1936? (A) This will depend, to be sure, upon those circumstances that arise that are of an international nature. As we find, if there are the changes brought about as indicated in the present, this will not be an expedition; UNLESS there are those efforts on the part of others to CAUSE a different reaction from that imminent on the horizon of activities or events; for from the present outlook this will be closed territory at that time. Then, it will depend upon circumstances. If there are no embargoes, or no hostilities in Africa, it would be very well.
10. (Q) If I have the power of healing, in what form will it express itself? (A) By the laying on of hands, when the BODY itself has been PURIFIED BY the healing within its OWN self and the VIBRATIONS raised to that where the aura or vibratory force of self may accord or attune itself immediately with the vibrations of other individuals seeking aid.
11. (Q) In regard to my first projection of myself into the astral plane, about two weeks ago: Some of the people were animated and some seemed like waxen images of themselves. What made the difference? (A) Some - those that appear as images - are the expressions or shells or the body of an individual that has been left when its soul self has projected on, and has not been as yet dissolved - as it were - to the realm of that activity. For what individuals are lives on and takes form in that termed by others as the astral body. The soul leaves same, and it appears as seen. Other individuals, as experienced, are in their ANIMATED form through their own sphere of experience at the present.
12. (Q) Why did I see my father and his two brothers as young men, although I knew them when they were white-haired?

(A) They are growing, as it were, upon the eternal plane. For, as may be experienced in every entity, a death is a birth. And those that are growing then appear in their growing state.
13. (Q) Any other advice? (A) First, do those things that will make thine body - as it were - WHOLE. Projections, inflections, astral experiences, are much harder upon those who are not WHOLLY physically fit.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
