1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, Clearwater Beach - [849].
3. Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
4. As we find, there are still improvements, while much is yet to be desired. But the applications being made are very good. Now that the anxieties of the labors are being somewhat allayed, do labor towards correcting the static conditions produced in the lumbar and sacral areas. Begin breaking up these first. This will allow circulation - not only through the limbs - but through the shoulders and the neck to be more uniform.
5. Do keep up with the whole of the Appliance, the short-wave and the deep massages. But after the breaking up, don't hurry it, but do keep eliminations somewhat better or increased, and do have more of the attempt to walk and more of the swimming.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Would Alka-Minro or a mineral water help the entity at this time? (A) These would be very well to change the lymph circulation, and for that as has been indicated for the body. A vegetable as well as a mineral laxative should be altered in the use of alkalizers or for increasing eliminations through the alimentary canal. It is well for those requiring any laxative to change about. Have a mineral and again the vegetable compound so there is the better balance kept, and neither will become so necessary or it will not destroy entirely the sphincter activities of the muscular forces of the alimentary canal. It is well for the mineral water to be used.
8. (Q) Is the short-wave being administered satisfactorily? (A) These activities are very good and we would begin
849-76 Page 2
breaking up or attempting to do so, for it will appear to hurt a good deal through the sacral and lumbar.
9. (Q) Would breathing exercises such as those outlined in Dr. Cannon's book, SLEEPING THROUGH SPACE help the body now? (A) These will not be well for this body until there are some changes. These require the activities that would become too much of a set rule of the mental, and the body is a heap bigger in its mind than Cannon's suggestions. [Dr. Alexander Cannon]
10. (Q) The entity wishes to devote himself to writing of a spiritual nature now that he is free to do so. Should he write the book, WHAT IS TRUTH? (A) This, as we find, would be well. Write it from that angle of who asked, and the answer LIVED by Him who would not answer the question verbally but answered it in His giving to man the pattern, the manner in which he is to approach and seek and know and apply. For it's in the application that ye know truth.
11. (Q) Should he try to complete the long poem 1776 now? (A) This should be rather: as when moved by the spirit, by an incentive from something spoken, something written or a material happening, add to it. For this is inspirationally written and don't break that! You will write, then, occasionally, or when moved by the spirit; not by attempting to concentrate to such an extent to be rid of the influences from within coordinated with the influences from without.
12. (Q) What subjects should the entity write on for the Association pamphlets he wishes to do now - give subjects in the order of importance. (A) As we find, these should be such as stress more the necessity of the spiritual attitude in seeking for information through these channels. First, then, we would give a pamphlet on Mental and Spiritual Readings, their relationships to the Physical and Life Reading and the necessity of the individual knowing the meaning of karma and life before asking a mental and spiritual direction. Then any of those: as of Prayer, as presented in the readings, and how that obtained is according to the attitude of the individual seeking to aid or help self. Then any phase, but these three especially in the beginning: Mental and Spiritual readings, then Prayer, then, "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," as presented in the information, which is taken from, first: Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 30, St. John 14, 15, 16. These are to be used merely as the background of that which is
849-76 Page 3
presented in same, in the information, for the readings of the Association.
13. (Q) What spiritual truths should the entity make as the great objectives in the book, WHAT IS TRUTH? (A) Much of that which would be taken from the verses and chapters given may be used as the basis, see?
14. (Q) Will this source help him as he progresses with the book, should he prepare questions? (A) There should be questions prepared from the beginning, and these will be carried through.
15. (Q) What information now in the files will help him with the book and the pamphlets? (A) This will necessarily have to be sought out by those who classify information.
16. (Q) Please give a prayer for meditation to be used while writing the pamphlets, the book, and the poem? (A) FATHER-MOTHER-GOD! IN THY MERCY, IN THY LOVE, BE THOU THE GUIDE JUST NOW, AS I SEEK IN HUMILITY AND IN EARNESTNESS TO PRESENT THAT WHICH MAY GIVE MY FELLOW MAN A BETTER AND A MORE PERFECT INSIGHT INTO THE LOVE WHICH WAS MANIFESTED BY JESUS, MY LORD AND MY GOD. HELP, THOU, O GOD, MY EVERY EFFORT.
