1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3335].
3. Much might be said regarding this body, as to the relationships to the general physical conditions and their relationships to the general physical and mental attitude of the body respecting circumstances and conditions about the body and the relationship they bear to the physical reactions existent.
4. Approached from a purely pathological viewpoint, there is little that may be changed - save the general physical conditions of the body. Considering all circumstances, the physical health is not bad.
5. Then, what may be contributed to the better well-being of this body; physically, mentally, spiritually?
6. The body is very well satisfied with the spiritual outlook. With the physical conditions there are handicaps, but, as ever, mind is the builder. However, there have to be those activities that will enable the spiritual, mental and physical to coordinate the better one with another.
7. For, these are the manners in which developments are made in the body - physical or mental, spiritual or physical or mental. For the Lord thy God is one.
8. Hence, study in self to show self approved unto thy God. What is thy God? Who is thy God? Who is His messenger to thee? What have His messages meant to thee, as to the manner in which ye are to treat thy fellow man? For, as ye do it unto others ye do unto thy Maker.
9. Thus, this attitude reflects itself in thy physical conditions - and don't think it doesn't! It does in every soul-entity.

10. In physical applications, then, the helpful forces for the auditory conditions are very well. To be sure, the Eustachian tubes have become very much distorted, by the catarrhal conditions existent there. But the age, the long period without being corrected - this condition will not be much benefited, without a change of mental attitude.
11. But if good coordination is kept in elimination, in assimilations through the body, we find that the general conditions may be greatly helped. This might be accomplished best by a good, thorough massage - a Swedish massage - following a Cabinet Bath. These activities will keep the body-physical in the best physical conditions.
12. Meet the problems of the day in the light of thy desires as thy Father-God would meet thee with thy own shortcomings with thyself. Meet these in thy relationships to others. No, not idealistic. Make thy relationship to God practical in thy relationship to thy fellow man.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Is the Aurex the instrument best suited to my needs? (A) This is good. This or the Over-Tone (?) - but the Aurex that has been used is well.
15. (Q) Should I continue using one drop of dionin in each eye at bedtime? (A) This may not be necessary if the weekly massages and Cabinet Baths are taken to stimulate better eliminations.
16. (Q) The lid of my left eye appears to be partially paralyzed and drops so as to partially to cover the eye. This sometimes operates to hamper vision slightly. Should anything be done about this drooping lid? (A) Only the massages, which should be partially in the areas of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervicals, 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsals, and - of course - in the neck and around the head.
17. (Q) Should any particular oils be used for this massage? (A) Just a good massage would be best for this body, for there are plenty of oils with the body here.
18. (Q) I am occasionally annoyed by canker sores in my mouth which I am told are caused by disturbance in the stomach. Can you suggest a cure for this trouble? (A) These will be materially aided by the massages setting up better eliminations, or coordination between the alimentary canal and the general superficial circulation.
19. (Q) Is there any particular food to be avoided? (A) Keep away from any acid-producing foods, or any large quantities of foods that carry acetic acid as a base - either in the flavoring or in the seasoning.
20. (Q) What is the best method of treating these sores in the mouth?
3335-1 Page 3
(A) Wash or rinse the mouth with Lavoris, full strength. It doesn't hurt if a tiny bit is swallowed. Gargle the throat and rinse the mouth with this.
21. (Q) Sometimes, after a cold I suffer from sinusitis and sometimes (more frequently in fact) the cold results in bronchitis. Can you suggest a treatment for the bronchitis and a means of relieving the cough? (A) All of these conditions are taken into consideration in that given. You see, these - as indicated - are a result, not a cause. Much more might be said here than is being given, but the entity must find most of it himself. For, here the sensory forces are the reflection of attitudes of an individual towards things about him. They become psychologically affected, as some might term; being the reflexes or the reactions people make to the environs about them. Here, the entity has closed itself often to cries - yes, it has also seen that which it might have helped. It didn't, and what's happening?
22. (Q) In view of the tendency to sinusitis, should I keep my bedroom window closed at night? (A) Best if you keep them open, if you keep plenty of cover on. Open at top and bottom is the way they should be.
23. (Q) I am a very moderate smoker - no smoking during the day but in the evening about four pipesful. In recent years, since I began smoking a pipe, I have noticed a tendency to have fantastic dreams. Are these caused by the tobacco and is it necessary to give up the pipe? (A) Not necessary. These are indications of just what we have been giving for the body. These are reactions of an influence from the tobacco upon the sensory or sympathetic nervous system as it coordinates with brain forces. You might use these fantastic dreams or visions to make a very good outline for what to avoid and what to work with. No, don't give up the smoking - unless there are other reasons. This is not harmful if done in moderation.
