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, [3359].
3. As we find, there are disturbances in the better physical functioning of the body. These are partially karmic, and thus there must be as much spiritual and mental application as physical. From the physical application indicated, there is also needed a great deal of spiritual awakening.
4. Then, in giving those things to be done first, for this body:
5. Begin with the spiritual attitude. First know in self what ye believe about spiritual things. Know who is the author of thy faith. As was given by the lawgiver, don't look somewhere else. Neither call on heaven, until you have set your own heart and mind aright. For lo, thy redeemer liveth in thy own activity. And as ye find in self the manner in which ye would treat others, ye will find in self help physically and mentally. This will change thy whole outlook on the purpose of life. Do not question as to what others will say or do but find in thy self how and why God, in His wisdom and mercy, has given thee the opportunity - for thyself, [3359] - to be a witness for Him, thy God in the earth.
6. Find that, and ye will begin then with the correct attitude. For, that we find in spirit taketh form in mind. Mind becomes the builder. The physical body is the result.
7. In this physical body there are plenty of conditions at variance one to another. These are to be met with physical conditions. For, the whole chemical forces of the body are "at one another", or there is a lacking of elements. And
3359-1 Page 2
remember, in their combinations, there are only about four elements in the body-forces and yet these represent every element in the earth.
8. Here we find the bronchi and trachea at variance to cold and heat, also at variance to anger or disappointment. For, a bad cold or anger will give the body just as severe attack of asthmatic condition in trachea and lung as anything else.
9. These indicate, then, how that these are one in manifestation. There is also in the blood supply that which is at variance with proper eliminations through the body. Thus we find the poisons of body, through the digestion as well as exercise or the normal functioning of the body, find expression in the humor or the catarrhal conditions in soft tissue and the eczema in the superficial conditions of the body at times. The only clear portions at times are the patches of the emunctory circulation - as under the arms or in the groin or in the elbow, and yet these at times become the aggravated areas - though these are clear the more often. This indicates the character of the circulation that causes these distresses.
10. Then, correct same. Do the first things first. Do correct the spiritual and mental attitude of the body as an entity. Don't commence taking these medicines we suggest first. If it takes six months or a year to get yourself spiritually correct, don't take a dose of the medicine until you are spiritually correct - it'll do more harm than it will do good. But when the spiritual attitude is correct:
11. Begin first with taking small quantities of yellow Saffron Tea each evening before retiring. Put a pinch of the Saffron Tea (American Saffron) - a pinch between thumb and forefinger, in a cup and pour boiling water over it. Let this stand thirty minutes, strain and drink. This will have then cooled sufficiently, and will be helpful.
12. Also begin taking Mullein Tea. The dried Mullein may be used. Put two pinches of the dried Mullein in a cup, pour boiling water over it and allow it to stand for thirty minutes. Drink this each morning, just before the morning meal.
13. When these properties are begun, use also a stearate of zinc powder carrying balsam. This will be soothing for the itching areas over the body.
14. Keep this up for at least three to four months. All of these conditions will clear, if the mind and spirit is right - in using and dedicating the abilities of the body. For, this entity here has a brilliant mind - but which way is it being led! Dedicate thy life to becoming a witness for the Creator, in thy dealings with men; not as a religion, but
3359-1 Page 3
live thy own faith.
15. Include often in the diet, at least twice a week, the Jerusalem artichoke; that we may change entirely the activity of the pancreas and spleen as related to the activity of the kidneys. Thus with the properties taken internally, as they act upon the gastric juices of the stomach, we will correct the disturbance wherein the kidneys are not draining the uric acid from the body - thus contributing to the humor through the system.
16. Take often the raw vegetables as celery, lettuce, carrots. These crushed, grated, ground and used a great deal with gelatin would be well; not always, but two or three times a week would be well. Especially have watercress often.
17. Use fish, fowl and lamb. No other forms of meat, and nothing fried.
18. Do that.
19. We are through - but begin at the beginning. Two copies to Self - (one for Mother) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing
