Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Taken 11:00 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Calif.
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 and those activities.
3. As we find, the better interpretation might be obtained for these physical disturbances through the Life Reading to give the experiences of the entity in the earth. For the greater part of the disturbance here is karmic. While there are incoordinations, there is not the lack of nerve and brain development. Rather this becomes more and more a result of suppression and rebellion on the part of the growing entity or body.
4. These may be met by force but the ones responsible for the body will thereby lose much of their own development.
5. We find it would be preferable to use the Radio-Active Appliance daily to put the body to sleep. Then as it is going to sleep, let the parents - the father, the mother - together, not separately (for this is your responsibility - you can't shun it - you can't delegate it and get the results yourself), make suggestions to the body. Prepare for it in this manner:
6. When the body is ready to retire, have it take its bath and then along the whole spine, from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, rub gently with very warm water. This should be done with a pad or cloth, so that the pores of the skin are opened. Then massage into the area one day Cocoa Butter, the next day this combination of oils: Olive Oil.....................2 ounces, Peanut Oil....................2 ounces, Lanolin (melted)............1/4 ounce.

7. This can be given one night by the mother, the next night by the father, but let it be one or the other of these. It is worth the time for self.
8. Then attach the Radio-Active Appliance, and as the body goes to sleep, make the suggestions.
9. Then take thy troubles to thy Maker, and in thy suggestions appeal to the divine within this developing body.
10. Begin first to prepare self by reading Exodus 19:5. Know that this is speaking to each of you - the parents. Then read Exodus 20, especially the first 18 verses giving the commandments, and these are to be not merely literally but spiritually applied in self.
11. Then read Deuteronomy 30 and apply these admonitions in self.
12. This will give the parents the background, the purpose and the ideal for which and through which they would prepare themselves to give the suggestions necessary for this body.
13. Do that.
14. Fail, and it will ever be a canker in the mind and purpose in one or the other or in each of you if ye delegate it to someone else - for ye will lose thine own self and ye will one time find conditions reversed.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Are we too drastic with him or are we not sufficiently drastic in our disciplinary methods? (A) Study these things indicated, as to how to prepare self. Then use those things suggested. There have been suppressions, yes. There are pressures that cause animosities, hates, rebellion in the body, because of the manner in which there are reflexes to the brain. Not that there isn't the brain, but there are such incoordinations in regard to suggestions as to cause the body to be rebellious and to forget. Mostly when individuals forget it is because something within themselves, all their inner consciousness, has rebelled - and they prepare to forget. Do as given.
