Time of Reading 4:30 to 4:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Washington, D.C. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1242]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, while conditions show improvements, there is still much to be done, and much to be desired for not only the general relief but for the removal of the disturbing conditions that are produced through the body.

3. There have been, though, those influences and forces, as in the applications of the varied ointments, the diets, the Ash and the spray, that are having their beneficial effect. These in their regular order, as needed, as we find would bring the greater relief, the greater help to the body.

4. Continue these, then, in the ways and manners as has been indicated for the body.

5. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Please give name and nature of original skin trouble for which treatments were being given? (A) As has been indicated, in that first given, this as we find was in its inception a scapula disturbance that made for irritations on the neck and side of face. And the application of the exceedingly high vibratory forces produced such a rate of change as to make for that nearer to a malignant nature. Thus the manner in which sluffing and deadening of portions of affected areas became as discharges and the conditions that produced the nature of that which has been part of the reaction. Hence, as has been necessary, the stimulations that would assist in purifying the blood stream are necessary as well as alleviating and overcoming the conditions that have been produced locally.

7. (Q) Is the present condition what is known as cancer? If so, what kind? (A) As we have indicated, this is now more or less of a malignant nature, though not what is ordinarily in some conditions called cancerous; but has been a sluffing of the

1242-6 Page 2

portions of affectations by the very deadening of the affected area by the high vibratory forces produced from such strong X-Ray reactions and properties in system.

8. (Q) What is the disease known as cancer? (A) As we have indicated in other information, there are many varied kinds of cancer. Nineteen - as we find - variations or formations, externally, internally, stony, and the variations that arise from glandular or organic disturbance, or infectious forces that arise from bruises or from all the various natures from which these come; each having a variation according to that portion of the system or its cycle in which the affectation takes place.

9. (Q) There is fear that dislocation of jaw will result in a permanent injury beyond rebuilding and that a doctor should work on it now. Is this a fact? (A) Not until there is more of a drying effect upon affected tissues in a portion of the area as affected, need there be fear of this being a permanent condition. But as soon as there is an ease, then it would be well that some adjustments be made in not only the side of the face and in the neck and head but throughout the whole system for better reactions to all of those conditions that have been described for the body.

10. (Q) Is it true that the upper jaw is useless and should be removed? (A) Not useless at all, though portions of the structure of same will eventually necessarily need removal, as was indicated in the second information given through this channel - but this not in the immediate. For, as has been indicated, there have been some segregations. But to cut on same in the present would only add to an already injured condition and would necessitate there being the use of those properties that would, in subjugating the sensory forces of the body, be detrimental just in the present. A little later, when the strength of the body has been builded more, then these may be carried on.

11. (Q) Is there cause for anxiety in the numb condition of the right ear? (A) There may be cause for anxiety, as has been intimated throughout, until there is gained a greater control of the disturbing conditions within the body. But this is only partially of the nature that may not be resuscitated by the allaying and removal of much of the disturbing forces through the system.

12. (Q) Have conditions near right ear improved? (A) These have improved considerably. There is less affectation there. And the use of the oils that keep same

1242-6 Page 3

soft is much more desirable than allowing same to dry so much by the applications of other forces or influences as to cause an irritation by even the very movement of the body itself.

13. (Q) Any other advice for this body, either physical or spiritual? (A) There should be kept, to be sure, a hopeful, constructive attitude as to its material and physical welfare, as well as in its spiritual application and spiritual attitudes. For each soul should gain that understanding that whatever may be the experience, if there is not resentment, if there is not contention, if there is not the giving of offense, it is for then that soul's own understanding, and will build within the consciousness of the soul itself that which may bring the greater understanding of the spiritual in the physical body. Then let the prayer, the meditation, ever be: "HERE AM I, LORD. THOU KNOWEST MY FAULTS, THOU KNOWEST MY WEAKNESSES: YET I AM THINE, AND THOU WOULD USE ME AS THOU SEEST FIT. LET THY WILL, O GOD, BE DONE IN AND THROUGH ME, IN SUCH MEASURES THAT I MAY BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS TO OTHERS. FOR AS I FORGIVE, MAY I BE FORGIVEN. AS I BLESS MAY I BE BLESSED BY THY LOVE AND THY PRESENCE. "THEN KEEP ME IN THE WAYS, IN BODY, IN MIND, IN SPIRIT, THAT I SHOULD GO."
