1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading for this body, with suggestions for improvement of any or all of these.
2. EC: Now, we find there are unusual potentialities that surround this body, whether considered from the physical, the mental, or the spiritual attributes of the body.
3. With the physical condition of the body we find there are those existent forces that should be heeded, or warnings made as reference to the outcome of those conditions were they allowed to remain in their present way of functioning; for through same there is constant strain being brought to bear, that the physical reactions will not always bear with, and the usefulness of the body - mentally and spiritually - would be retarded, and not reach that which might be accomplished through the physical experience of the body.
4. There are many conditions to be considered in the physical forces of this body.
5. One of the greatest of the hindrances to the body is FEAR. Not of others; not of mental ability; not of that which the body desires - but fear in the physical innate forces of the body; and while often one's outlook upon life is altered by the conditions of the liver, or of the digestive system, in THIS particular body - while these conditions exist; that is, hindrances in the digestive system and particularly in the eliminations as are influenced through the excretory system, especially in lack of proper secretions as come from the liver - to THIS particular body - (FEAR produces almost as much harmful effects to this particular physical condition), from that as has been experienced from the relations of the body physical to those of family conditions, and environmental forces, that these fears bring that which produces - in this highly developed MENTAL body (as far as nerves go) - that of a detrimental effect in giving its best, either physical OR mental, in application to the knowledge as is known by the

body for the good of self.
6. Then, in meeting the needs of the physical forces of the body, these would - necessarily - be taken into consideration (this FEAR).
7. While there may be applied that for the body that will overcome physically those deficiencies, yet unless that basic force, as is present in the fear of the body, is REMOVED, these would certainly return to hinder the body again.
8. As is also seen in purely physical conditions as exist in the lower limbs - the feet, the head, the lack of eliminations proper, as show through the condition in scalp, as of the eye, as of the auditory forces - these all show the effect, NOT so much of physical defects as of fear, or of the constant retaining within self that which gives - as it were - POISONS to the system, THROUGH that as held against self and as against others; for FEAR creates anger; anger creates that in a system hindering digestion, giving the blood such impulses that the proper digestion is not POSSIBLE within the system - either that of grudge or of the desire to succumb under the influence of ANY force by impelling self upon others, or of the fear held as grudge against another for either that of a wrong intentional or unintentional thing done against self or others.
9. Then, to meet the conditions, this must be cast entirely out of system - THEN add that in the physical that will RELIEVE these conditions, and we will find a strong body, builded well in every portion of same, giving that channel through which the mental and spiritual forces, as attend this material body, may manifest the better elements and better forces for the benefit and service of self and others.
10. In casting out same, replace rather that of grudge, desire and of hatred, and of kindred conditions, with the LOVE of the Master - even as the body has proclaimed, and does proclaim, in WORDS, to others - but has ever felt that the whole understanding was not within self; but PERFECT love casteth out fear, and the perfect love is only founded in Him that gave Himself a ransom for many; Who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, yet made of Himself no estate that He might take on Himself the sins of the world and show to man that acceptable way that man, himself, might approach that kingdom; and being found perfect in body and in mind, became equal with that creative force that gives to every man the chance of escape from HIMSELF!
11. And when this fear is cast out, add THIS physically to the body:
5735-1 Page 3
Ambrosia weed (dried).......3 ounces, added to 16 ounces of water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add: Beet Sugar..................4 ounces, dissolved in 1 ounce of hot water. Add then: Grain Alcohol...............2 ounces, with Balsam of Tolu..............2 drams, cut in it.
12. Shake well together before each dose is taken, which should be half (1/2) teaspoonful AFTER each meal. Do not take unless the meal is eaten. Do not over eat. Do not purge self from any of those elements that bring the better conditions for the body through proper eliminations in system.
13. Not necessary that these be taken unless self has set self aright from poisoning self with the refuses of the own body.
14. In the mental forces of the body, here we find - as has been given - an unusual ability in dissemination; yet little of coordination with that as has been attained or known by the body. This would be well for the body to consider:
15. That, Life is in that way of continuity; and Life is ALL; and no one portion of Life is the whole; for Life is that given of the SPIRIT; and the Soul is as the individual. The mental - whether that of a sensuous consciousness or of the super, or the objective consciousness - is the Builder; and that BUILDED, whether in the physical or soul body, is the Result.
16. Just as has been given regarding the physical conditions of the body. While the body, apparently, may have the appearance of strong physical conditions; yet there may be, within, that which is constantly eating at the very foundation of that manifested physically - and the same with the soul body, or the mental body, that may be so directed - through the application of that given as the companion with the soul (the will) - as to make the individual One WITH the Whole, or separate it from its Maker; for LIFE is the gift of the Creator, and one makes that life through the application of that known - not through that desired, but that KNOWN - and IN the application attains TO that which gives either the perfect physical forces, whether as referring to the mental or the material body.

17. In spiritual essence, the entity has that ability to attune self to many consciousnesses. Be guided by that which brings self to be the servant of many, in that way as He gave, that "God IS Spirit and seeks such to worship Him." Remembering that in that same way and manner that the life is guided by these various consciousnesses, (and the will of self controls in every effort that one makes through same) self is attuned to the full consciousness, or separates self - even as was given of old, "I have this day set before you good and evil - Choose THOU whom thou wilt serve!" Say not, who shall ascend into heaven to bring Him down? or, who shall descend into the depths? for the God lives in thee, even in thine OWN SELF, and my WILL, my SPIRIT, beareth witness with Thy Spirit - not someone else's! THY SPIRIT! as to whether thou hast chosen, do choose, or WILL choose, that which will bring thine own self in attunement to that Whole.
18. We are through.
