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, we have the body here [1861]; this we have had before.

3. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) Should oil massages be continued and how often? (A) All massages are well for the body, though the use of Glyco-Thymoline or Lavoris, at times, at the base of the neck and at the area from the brachial center to the base of the neck, will be found to be well to aid in diminishing the tendencies for accumulation of acids through body from activities in physical, material activities, see? The oil rubs, we would have at least twice a week.

5. (Q) Should vitamin tablets be continued? (A) We would keep the vitamins.

6. (Q) What would be a good weight for this body to maintain? (A) Set it yourself, and then so live, and so act, you can keep it. About 155 to 165 should be about normal at the present age and activities.

7. (Q) If the weight is too great at present what should be done to reduce it? (A) Change it by your own activities, diet and exercise.

8. (Q) What progress has been made toward absorption and elimination of the cataracts? (A) These, as we find, are slow, yet sure, if there will be kept, not only the corrections made occasionally, once a month or such - might be the more often but the meditation; and in the meditation, don't meditate UPON, but listen to the voice within. For prayer is supplication for direction, for understanding. Meditation is listening to the Divine within.

9. (Q) Would the neck exercises for the eyes be beneficial for the body?

(A) Be beneficial, though these will keep, as was indicated, much better would there be the use of Glyco-Thymoline or Lavoris Packs. These would be just along the edge of spine, see? extending to, from that of the 1st cervical to the 4th dorsal.

10. (Q) Would the eye condition be hereditary to a child of this entity? (A) No.

11. (Q) In view of having been cautioned that my work at the Theatre might change my vibrations, how am I doing? (A) You are doing very well - very well!

12. (Q) Why is 2 A.M. the best time to meditate? (A) For the body-mind, as we find, (if it has slept), the activities - of the physical body are as it were, in that vibration where it is between the physical, the mental, and spiritual activities of the body. If it is kept awake, it isn't a good time to meditate, but sleep, and then arise, and purposefully - for in prayer, so in meditation, let it be purposefully, and then don't abuse it - use it. Life is the manifestation of God - of the Creative Forces. So in prayer and in meditation. Prayer - He knoweth what ye have need of, but it is that love, that hope within self, knowing, feeling the desire to approach, thankful, prayerful, and then listen for direction.
