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, [3352]. (He's keeping the time pretty well.)
3. Now as we find, much might be said regarding the conditions existent here. To be sure, these are after effects of indiscretions of a nature in the body-physical forces, and then those applications to produce a better circulation and a better elimination. Though now working under quite abnormal conditions. These are in the present almost normal for this physical body of [3352].
4. The sources or causes of these have not been entirely eradicated. Thus there has not been gained full control of the body-forces through the body.
5. We find that these arose as a result of what might be called occupational disturbances; not enough in the sun, not enough of hard work. Plenty of brain work, but the body is supposed to coordinate the spiritual, mental and physical. He who does not give recreation a place in his life, and the proper tone to each phase - well, he just fools self and will some day - as in this body in the present - be paying the price. There must be a certain amount of recreation. There must be certain amounts of rest. These are physical, mental and spiritual necessities. Didn't God make man to sleep at least a third of his life? Then consider! This is what the Master meant when He said, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow." Do they grow all the while, bloom all the while, or look mighty messy and dirty at times? It is well for people, individuals, as this entity, to get their hands dirty in the dirt at times, and not be the white-collared man all the while! These are natural sources. From whence was man made? Don't be afraid to get

a little dirt on you once in a while. You know you must eat a certain amount of dirt, else you'll never get well balanced. For this is that from which all conditions arise. For of dust man is made, and to dust he returns. Because he doesn't look dirty once in a while is no sign he isn't dirty in mind, if not in body, if not in spirit. For these are one, ever one.
6. Here we have had conditions where there is the neglect of eliminations. Neglect in taking sufficient exercise in the open. Then we had a plethoric condition existing in a portion of the colon and a prolapsus in other portions, so as to overtax and burden the heart and the area between the heart, the liver, lungs and kidneys. These have brought about disorders and disturbances.
7. To meet the needs of the conditions for this body:
8. Systematically, take at regular intervals the hydrotherapy treatments including colonic irrigations, and osteopathic adjustments especially as related to a condition existing in the 3rd and 4th dorsal 5th and 6th dorsal and in the 3rd cervical.
9. Take these regularly for about six weeks, and then two or three months take another series for a week or two weeks, and we will find a great deal of difference.
10. But take time to add something to your mind mentally and spiritually. And take time to play a while with others. There are children growing. Have you added anything constructive to any child's life? You'll not be in heaven if you're not leaning on the arm of someone you have helped. You have little hope of getting there unless you do help someone else.
11. Do that and live a normal life, and you'll live a heap longer. Be worth a heap more than the position you occupy. For it is not what you do but what you really are that counts. This shines through - what you really are - much more than what you say. You can say No, or you can say Yes, but do you ask God to show partiality? Do You show partiality to others?
