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, [5295].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. In analyzing this, and if there would come help for the body, there should be real self-analysis. To interpret the more properly, the individual entity should seek to know its activities through the earth in other experiences. For the entity is meeting its own self.
4. There is the body-physical, the body-mental and the soul-body. The body-physical is very good, save little physical expression, or manifestation is possible save as a shell or a house for the mental and spiritual, in the present condition.
5. These may be changed, but it will depend upon the purposes, the hopes, the desires and activities of the spiritual and mental body as to whether in this experience there is a material manifestation of same. That the shell, or the figure, or form is there, is manifested. But its ability for locomotion is not merely atrophy of the nerves and muscular forces of the lower limbs; these are the results of that ye builded in the life of self and others in other experiences.
6. Then, to whom should the entity turn? To Him who is life, the giver of life, the spiritual purposes and desires; and those activities in which there is wholly a manifestation of the spiritual and mental, as to not the glory of self, but to the glory of Him, who is life, light, and immortality.
7. These, to be sure, have been contemplated in a manner and some thought, but not manifested in a manner as to give

complete expression, but begin with these.
8. Then, if there is the desire, that necessary may be given as for the application of this in the self, as to how physically, as well as spiritually, ye may meet same.
9. But begin with analyzing, studying self, and the approach that the entity itself must make: Exodus 19:5. Do you wish to do that? do you wish to become a peculiar, a sincere person in whom the Father, God may make manifest, not merely for the fact that ye may gratify fleshly desires, but to His glory, His honor?
10. Don't make promises to self, or to Him, lest ye mean to keep them under any circumstances which may arise. For they who make promises to their God within themselves and don't keep them are worse than the infidel.
11. Then, if ye would study this, study also Deuteronomy 30. Know that it is within self, as to how close that power is to thine own self; and analyze that.
12. Then turn to St. John 14, 15, 16, 17, and as ye search these, if ye will seek for the material things to be done that the spirit and the mind may work together, then it will give that.
13. But do the first things first. Do that.
14. Ready for questions.
15. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing (If you have not already done so, read the philosophy in the back of the book, THERE IS A RIVER, by Thomas Sugrue.)
