1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have those environs, those surroundings, those conditions with this body, [1056]. This we have had before.
3. In giving those suggestions as may be helpful for this body, all of that which has been indicated for the body should be taken into consideration; as to causes and sources. And there should be those applications made as we have indicated, consistently, persistently, if the body would be rid of those disturbances which have so upset the body.
4. If the body prefers just to take a pellet or pill, those things that have been given at varied times, such may be continued - but it only allays.
5. These conditions are part of an experience of the entity, and in its study, in its analysis of the purpose, the cause of life, the cause of a disorder in a life experience, if the entity or body becomes antagonistic to self or to those about self, it it only kicking against the pricks. For, know - it is self ye are meeting; not someone else. That others are in the position from the material angle of being responsible for the individual entity is their karma, their selves - not thine own self but THEIR selves they are meeting!
6. Each soul pays for his OWN shortcomings, not someone else's!
7. Then, in applying the spiritual, mental and material laws so as to make all of these coordinate in their relationship one to another - this is what was meant by the command to the individual soul to be fruitful, to multiply, to subdue the earth. Too oft does the individual apply this only to secular or sexual associations, when it has nothing whatsoever to do with such in the spiritual or mental self,

but has to do with the spiritual and mental in controlling, in governing self, self's appetites, self's desires, self's impatience, self's wilfulness. Thus does one multiply. Thus does one SUBDUE the influences of materiality.
8. If this entity, then, will analyze self, self's purposes, seek to know the first causes, seek to apply - physically - those suggestions we have made for physical corrections in the body, as they have been outlined - and then in its relationship with self, with others, make application of those influences just indicated - we will find that life and its experience in the earth, as related to self and its associations with others, will become a reality, worth living; joy, peace - as promised in Him, who is life, who IS the way. And ye will find it, if ye will apply thyself therein.
9. It is as much a mental and spiritual application that is to be awakened as it is a physical. Materially ye will awaken it by subduing and applying those suggestions given.
10. Do that.
