1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2072]; this we have had before.
3. As we find there are improvements in the whole body, in the general and in specific manners; yet there is much to be desired by the body. Most of these desires, though, can be attained by and through the adhering to most all of those things that have been indicated for the body.
4. Here, too, we need the occasional thorough relaxing treatment; once a month or once in six weeks. There are times when some areas are stimulated too much, which is indicated by a rash or irritation in the superficial circulation - in the centers about the upper dorsals. These relaxed so that there are better eliminations and a better coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems, we will prevent the irritation and the body will feel much better; though those activities that are too severe at times may set up the same character of irritation - as of trying to lift or to dig or to cause so much activity across certain areas, as the lumbar axis or the axis in the upper dorsals that may produce the same effect.
5. We would only add in the present the taking occasionally of two to three drops of Glyco-THYMOLINE in water. Now, these are not drinks to be taken, but occasionally do this. It will aid in purifying the whole alimentary canal.
6. Your stomach hasn't grown enough yet! It is too small, even for the body, for the proper assimilation of foods. For its position is such that what is taken as food soon passes from the stomach.
7. Do continue to eat a little bit more, even when you think you have had enough! Let there be the expanding. After such let there be the stretching of the arms above the head, or swing on the arms, and you'll find you will make better

digestion and better activities in assimilation.
8. Do keep the rest as indicated.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is the olive oil rub being given correctly? (A) This is pretty well done, but at times there is kind of a shirking.
11. (Q) Can you suggest any treatment for dryness of hands and skin? (A) Use any good oil, as Sweet Oil or such, on the hands and over the body - it will change this. The better change should come within from the better assimilation of that eaten, which will be found to be more improved by the exercises of stretching arms above the head or swinging on a pole would be well. This doesn't mean to run out and jump up on a pole every time you eat, but have regular periods. When you have the activities, do have these exercises, for they will stimulate the gastric flow and let that eaten have something to float in; that is, eat some more!
12. (Q) What foods can be used with fresh citrus fruits to make a complete meal? (A) Any foods that may be eaten at any time save whole grain cereals.
13. (Q) What foods or treatments are especially good for bringing more of the luster - reds, coppers, and golds - back into the hair? (A) Nothing better than the peelings of Irish potatoes or the juices from same. Don't just put the peelings in water and cook them, because most of the necessary properties will go out, but put them in Patapar Paper to cook them.
14. (Q) What is the karmic cause of the physical condition of this body? (A) This would have to do with other influences. Let's leave karma out. For there is a way, and the trust is in the divine within that may be in attune with the infinite. The karma - well, these would be sad. Leave this out. Just change it.
15. (Q) How can one be sure that a decision is in accordance with God's will? (A) As indicated here before. Ask self in the own conscious self, "Shall I do this or not?" The voice will answer within. Then meditate, ask the same, Yes or No. You may be very sure if thine own conscious self and the divine self is in accord, you are truly in that activity indicated, "My spirit beareth witness with thy spirit." You can't get far wrong in following the word, as ye call the word of God.
16. (Q) What present printed version of the Bible gives the nearest to the true meaning of both the new and old Testaments?
2072-14 Page 3
(A) The nearest true version for the entity is that ye apply of whatever version ye read, in your life. It isn't that ye learn from anyone. Ye only may have the direction. The learning, the teaching is within self. For where hath He promised to meet thee? Within the temple! Where is that temple? Within! Where is heaven or earth? Within! Meet thy Savior there. For He hath promised, "I stand at the door - open. If ye open, I will enter and sup with thee." Again, "If ye will open I will come in - and I and the Father will abide with thee." There have been many versions of that which was purposed to have been written, and has been changed from all of those versions - but remember that the whole gospel of Jesus Christ is: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, thy heart and thy body; and thy neighbor as thyself." Do this and thou shalt have eternal life. The rest of the book is trying to describe that. It is the same in any language, in any version.
