1. EC: Yes. We have the body, [1165], and those conditions that surround the body. It is with its mother.
2. Now, in reference especially to those conditions that are indicated by the mark on the forehead and the cheek or side of head:
3. This might be expressed or manifested in many a way, or much might be given as respecting same - as to the pathological effects, as to the influences that arise from the psychological effects and the psychopathic effects that had to do with those things which manifest in this way and manner.
4. Rather would we approach same from that which we have indicated through these sources heretofore, as to how each individual in its manifestations in the earth bears within its physical expression the marks of that which has been or may be termed as an expression of a development in the soul and spiritual forces.
5. This is being sought, however, more from the material experience or expression; and that is being sought that may remove or may cause or may effect a change in the personal appearances that are to be a portion of the experience of the body - if it is to carry on in this experience.
6. These then, as we would give:
7. From the pathological changes, these are pigments that are active in the texture and in the conditions in the physical forces of the body.
8. To apply injections, or to apply that which would change these in any MATERIAL way and manner would be to effect an effacement of that which would make for a full expression of that to be met by the body and those about same - in that which would make for the real, greater development.
9. Be rather mindful of those conditions physical that are arising with the body in its ability for assimilation, for
1165-1 Page 2
those conditions that will make for the regular body-development as to its digestion and assimilation.
10. As for body activities in making for a helpful experience, we would massage the body - not so much over the area itself but ALONG the sides of same and over those areas from which this portion of the body receives its impulse for circulation to the superficial portions of the body - with Camphorated Oil.
11. And we would massage the whole portion of the body from the lower lumbar area to the head with Olive Oil AND Wine.
12. These will make for a change sufficient to assist the effacement that is the most helpful in the experience.
13. But it is more of an activity upon the part of those that are in the material sense the expression of that manifested in this body, [1165].
14. For the individual experiences of the body - if it is to carry on - are to be such that these will be lost sight of in that as may be builded from the spiritual forces. And in its expression in meeting those things that to most minds, or to the material-minded, become as an effacement - or as a marring of the influences that bear upon its own personality.
15. Then, aid in giving the expression more and more of that individuality that is shown here. And we will find this will bring to all a real blessing that may make for a greater and greater understanding of the relationships of individuals to Creative Forces and the manifestations of same in a material world.
16. In the applications, these we would do each evening as it is prepared for its evening rest.
17. The equal portions of Wine - Red Wine - and the Olive Oil; stirred together in such a way and manner as to make for the absorption to those portions of the body from the lower lumbar area to the base of the brain.
18. And the face, the head, those portions of the neck, even to the vagus centers or those about the upper portions of the thorax, or extending even to the breastbone, massaged very gently with the Camphorated Oil.
19. These, as we find, offer the better opportunities for the expressions in the present.
20. As conditions change, or when it has reached those periods of its full expression - or at nine months - then we would give those changes; if there remains within the innate desire of those that seek in the present for those periods when there begins then the developing of the INDIVIDUALITY, rather than the personality of THIS soul expressing and manifesting itself as [1165].

21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Should the Camphorated Oil be massaged just around the edges of the mark? (A) Just round the edges as indicated, rather than over the place; for with the massage and the proper assimilations and digestions that will make for the building of blood forces and the pigments in portions of the body, this will aid in the effacement of the disturbance; or it becomes less and less perceptible - save at periods. But most, hold to the spiritual expression and not the physical.
23. (Q) Any other advice regarding care? (A) This at the present. Be mindful of those conditions regarding the assimilation and digestions, see? These are under care, but be mindful of same.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Miss [954] " " Ass'n file
