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, [2778] this we have had before.

3. As we find, as has been indicated, there is slow but sure progress in the corrections that - if the correct mental attitude is kept towards self, towards others, for the cause that lies within - will bring about better and better physical abilities for the body to handle or control self.

4. In the present we find that the superficial nerves of the limbs are gradually being enlivened, the hips and the knees are little by little being strengthened.

5. We would continue the applications for the carrying of certain medicinal properties vibratorially into the system, and continue with the massage.

6. The massages as we find are very, very good. We would massage more in the bursa of the feet; as under the toe, in the instep and in the heel. The increasing of stimulation in this direction will cause the nerves of the ends of the sciatics to be enlivened. This sill make twitching sensations at times in the calf of the leg, under the knees, and in the thighs, but these will not be too aggravating - and will indicate to the body that there is being reestablishing the communication, as it might be called, between the lower limbs or the locomotories and body-forces.

7. These we would keep, then, in the manners as indicated.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Why do knees and elbows sometimes ache? (A) This is the attempt of the circulation at times to come through. Such effects may be expected at times. Thus the manner in which changes are suggested, of a minor nature, in the treatment for the feet and the extremities.

10. (Q) What causes occasional swelling in feet and legs?

(A) The body attempting to adjust itself.

11. (Q) Should I be able to discard one or both braces within the next year, if treatments are continued properly? (A) Whether it's next year or in the next century, do you want to carry on or do you want to just quit! These depend - it is not a question as to whether the effect will be created, but as to whether there is the coordination between mind, body and purpose. Whether this comes tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or the year after - all time is one time. It may be accomplished tomorrow. Are you ready for it? Ask yourself those questions, rather than how soon it is going to be - when is it going to happen. It will happen when you are ready for it! Are you ready?

12. (Q) Would it be advisable to take vitamins - in what form? (A) For what? There is being supplied to the body those energies in their proper proportions. Resistances are being supplied vibratorially. There may be an overabundance of vitamins. Most of this is fad, save as to what may be necessary to create a balance. If there is a proper balance in the diet, you do not need extra vitamins. And you are eating very well! You have a very good diet, a very well balanced diet in most meals. We wouldn't upset it. We would keep to the right way.

13. (Q) Any further advice, physical and spiritual? (A) As indicated these must be coordinated - purpose, desire, hope, and the application in self should be in accord with the administrations being made.

14. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " [1523]
