1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [560].
2. Now as we find, conditions in many respects are very aggravating in the physical forces of the body.
3. The abilities to meet all of the disturbing factors through the mental and spiritual aspects have not been gainsaid, neither are they lacking in effective application.
4. But as has been pointed out to the entity and to others oft, all conditions that become necessary for the activity of the spiritual forces within self - if they are effective - are in using what is in hand.
5. Though it may require those abilities of the surgeon, the internal medicine, the mechanical appliance or of any of the varied activities, the good is of the same source as the spirit of truth. Look on them as such and not be antagonistic to conditions as they exist.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Would the removal of the accumulation in mammary glands by surgery help to overcome the condition in the body more quickly? (A) This would help to overcome the conditions more quickly. The growths are NOT necessarily malignant, but may become so; though the very spiritual influences have kept them in check.
8. (Q) Would you advise an operation at this time as best? (A) We would advise rather the consultation with a surgeon, such as Payne, [Robert Lee Payne, M.D.] for the consideration of same. For unless there is, of course, the rest gained, such strains of themselves produce GREATER excitement which IS added poison to the general system; and will need the effect of rest or sedatives or those activities for the conditions to become so that the entity or body may gain control over self. Then, we would advise rather the service OF such for

consultation, and if there are the findings that such would be the better, well done.
9. (Q) Should anything be given to produce sleep, under the direction of a physician? (A) These are conflicting questions, see? This depends upon what is the choice. If operative, then naturally something will be given. If not operative, then it will become necessary - unless there are influences brought about to produce rest.
10. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) Let those influences of the Creative Forces guide thee in thy seeking to be a channel of help to others; meeting in self those things necessary for making thy body, thy mind, as one with Him.
