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, [3527].
3. As we find, these are disturbances. While the body may become very much perturbed, we find that these problems may be met in self - if there is the consideration of the coordination between spiritual and mental things, and then living them, and with the expectancy of using and knowing that what may be used is as much of God as self may make of same in its manner of relationship to self and others.
4. Hence we have a pathological and a psychological condition to be met. For there are those periods when these seizures arise, from lesions in the lacteal duct area and in the 1st and 2nd cervical, when the body is almost possessed by its own self in relationship to those problems it is meeting in self. And this is not good. For these influences ordinarily leave the body-mind in those states of discouragement, of hating self, of wanting to blame everything on everybody else - and then condemning self also.
5. These must be met in self first - by the spiritual attitudes, spiritual concepts. Know that in self alone ye may not meet such, but that as ye forgive - even yourself so may ye be forgiven by Him who is life, light and immortality. So may the healing influence of the Christ-Consciousness come to be a part of the individual self. Know that He has meant, "I stand and knock." Open - don't close the door to that Christ-Consciousness. Don't put Him away. Don't shut the door. Let Him enter, that He may abide with thee.
6. For as the promise is, "I and the Father may abide with
3527-1 Page 2
thee." Thy best self, and the way to get rid of that which has disturbed you, will abide with you.
7. Then physically apply for three days in succession each week, for at least an hour at the time, the hot Castor Oil Packs over the area of the liver and lacteal duct.
8. Also at the same time apply the hot Glyco-Thymoline Packs (using an electric pad) to the base of the brain, extending to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical. Put these on cold but apply the electric pad to make the body absorb same.
9. After the three-day series of the Packs each week, take internally at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil to eliminate the poisons and accumulations.
10. We would also follow each three-day series each week with a good massage thoroughly given, by a good osteopath. Correct those areas of the coccyx, 4th dorsal, 4th cervical and 4th lumbar. With the breaking up of the lesions in the first cervicals, there should be the reducing of the periods of disturbance and a change in the activity to the locomotory centers, so as to bring better conditions for the body.
11. But do first things first. Don't condemn anyone nor self. Don't feel sorry for self - that's the best way to condemn, for you condemn everyone else!
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Please explain the trance-like state which follows one of these spells. (A) Read what we have just given. It is almost possession! Do these things as we have indicated.
14. (Q) What will cure the rectal trouble? (A) Do these things outlined - we will correct these disturbances.
15. (Q) Would some particular vocation be more beneficial than another? (A) Do as suggested and there will be much for the entity to do, and it will think along a different line entirely!
16. We are through with this Reading. Two copies to Self (one for osteopath - Please let us have name of one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (1/5/44 GD's note: See directions for Packs [which were enclosed].)
