Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, general conditions are very good. There needs to be those cares and attentions not only relative to the general physical welfare of the body and the specific disturbances that arise from time to time, in taking the nominal, normal precautions, but the precautions as to the mental and material attitude as to conditions without as well as within.
3. For the whole of the experience of an individual entity in a material plane is the coordinating and cooperation of Creative Forces from without to the divine within, as to keeping an activity that may bring into manifestations health and happiness.
4. In the degrees that we make the application of self then in these directions, using that as we have in hand from day to day for such, we bring about those experiences for the greater development, the greater manifestations of an individual entity's activity at any given experience.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Shall I take gas or novocaine to have my teeth filled, or can I meet the situation successfully by just using truth thoughts? (A) As we find, in the more recent experiences there has been an innovation [See 1158-8, Par. R1] in these directions; and this method we would use rather than novocaine or truth thoughts entirely. But we might give much in respect to the activity of influences from without as to the active forces from within:
For each individual has its own active forces as to the emotions, bodily, mentally, spiritually; and each entity is a sum total of all those activities or experiences in the various spheres of action or sojourn in any material or mental or spiritual experience.
1158-8 Page 2
And these then in their various spheres work with or towards that which is the Builder - the mental, the mind.
That there may be used an injection or a use of any drug is not that there is not the trust nor the activative force.
Thou sayest thou believest what is written, what is the experience - All force, all power - of good - emanates from the One Source.
Then if this is true, the use of influences as may be from without to meet those experiences of the various phases of the development of an individual is only making a practical application of that which is given as the belief, see?
As we would find, Elson would be well for the entity to consider as one capable and efficient in making the proper adjustments and local applications, local treatments for the conditions that exist with this body - 34th Street, New York, as we find the address.
This we would advise for the body.
7. (Q) Then should either of these be taken, the gas or the Novocaine? (A) Rather the new innovation, as we find.
8. (Q) Any further advice as to my health? (A) As has been indicated, keep a coordination between the mental, the physical, the spiritual forces and attributes of the body. For not only coordination but cooperative forces are necessary.
Do these.
9. We are through with this reading.
