Time of Reading 10:30 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ky.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [528], ..., Ky., together with the circumstances and relations with a friend to whom she has been engaged for some years. Considering all that has recently happened between the two, and others, you will tell her the course she is to pursue at this time, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [528]; together with conditions and relations that have existed, that do exist in the present.
3. First, we would consider the physical conditions of the body in the present. To be sure, the anxieties and the upsetting conditions of the mental forces and influences have worked and do work hardships against the better physical conditions of the body.
4. Yet as we find there are precautions, physical, that the body should take; not only in keeping the charges for the Appliance, especially, for creating the better vibrations, but in keeping and watching the eliminations. For the activities have set about to eliminate the poisons as created by the infectious forces through the whole of the system.
5. Hence as we find, the greater source of the infection that causes the neuritic reactions in the nerve and muscular forces arises from toxic forces through the alimentary canal.
6. Therefore, we would use the Eno Salt as an eliminant, and keep the eliminations above nominal, so that there is the cleansing of the system at least twice each day. Also we would use occasionally the high enemas to cleanse or evacuate the colon. This will make for a relief of the toxic forces and thus eliminate the sources of the disturbance in the nerve and muscular forces of the body.
7. Precautions should be taken occasionally regarding the rest of the conditions, as has been indicated.
8. In regard to the mental attitudes, the relations that have existed and do exist in the present between the self
528-16 Page 2
and the associate or companion or friend, or lover, there should not be ANY self-condemnation. And if there is no SELF- condemnation there may NOT be then the condemning of others.
9. Then, for the greater satisfaction, the greater aid and help for each, there should be sought those relationships that make for the abilities of each to supply that needed in the other's experience; in the physical, the mental and the spiritual relationships.
10. This should be, then, as we find, the attitude.
11. To be sure, only self may be controlled. But if there are those relationships that are felt, are declared by the friend to be existent - if there is the care, physically and mentally, for the associations and activities - then the activities of self will be returned in the manner in which there is the meting out.
12. If the feeling has grown cold, if the nature of the activities of the body has been of such import that it may be within the mind of self justified - not by hearsay, but - if ye would be forgiven, ye would forgive - build then upon that which is thy concept of the loving, forgiving Christ-Consciousness.
13. Not that such relations or activities were by Him condoned, but rather was there the consideration of the desires of the body as well as the mental attitudes, circumstances and conditions.
14. So with self. For the needs of that as may bring into the experience, in the present, build upon that in self that is the answer for the hope, the faith, the EXPERIENCES; that ye may know in the oneness of purpose, oneness of desire, to keep that which IS the whole import and purpose of thy material relationships in thy activities, in thy environs, in thy surroundings!
15. Do not condemn. Do not condone. But as ye would that would be done to thee, do ye even so to the other - which is in keeping with thy concept of thy CHRISTIAN faith, thy CHRISTIAN hope!
16. Thus ye will find that such activities and attitudes will bring into thy experience the greater peace. Not by "Don't do this - Don't do that! I won't have this - I won't have that!" Rather in that same manner in which ye have held and do hold in thy own heart and mind the love not of self, not of desire as to satisfying of physical relationships or activities, but in the singleness of purpose that each day, each activity may be a manifestation of being a channel of blessing to someone day by day!
17. Only in that attitude, in that purpose, may ye find
528-16 Page 3
within thine own heart and mind that which will bring peace and harmony BETWEEN thee, or will give to thee the all good conscience.
18. KNOW that it is better to trust a heart or body, and that deceiving, than to doubt that body which IF believing would BLESS thy life with true understanding!
19. Keep thy faith in HIM, that ALL will be and is right! And make thy life, thy activities in accord with same!
20. Ready for questions.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
