  1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

  2. EC: Yes. Conditions here are gradually on the improve.

  3. As we have indicated here, this will require patience, persistence, and there will be periods when apparently from outward appearances there will be little or no progress being made. At such periods will be the times to pray the more earnestly; not merely praying that something else outside of those making the administrations is to do the work, but that your own consciousness, your own desire to be channels of blessings may be kept in that attitude to keep doing those things indicated. Thus we will gradually more and more bring about the normal conditions, or much nearer normal conditions for this body.

  4. It must be near to the second cycle, as indicated, and this is only a small portion of fourteen years - but it will be worth it! For the body may then in mind, in body, be a contributing, a living example of the power of the divine among physical, material-minded men.

  5. Ready for questions.

  6. (Q) Is the body getting enough massage and is it being given correctly? (A) This is very good, except sometimes you hurry through too quickly. Remember, these are to be given very prayerfully; seeing, feeling, knowing that they are contributing to the general welfare of the body.

  7. (Q) Is it still necessary to massage away from the head only, or may the general regular massage be given? (A) When it is necessary or better to massage in other directions, we will indicate it. Here we [have] the tendency, as we have indicated, for a flow toward the head.

Keep it in that way in which there is a flowing away from the head. If you were to dam a stream, would you sometimes attempt to knock it away so the water could clear a little bit? Not much you wouldn’t, if you wanted to prevent it from flowing back! This is just a practical condition that exists in the law of nature itself. Massage away from the head, as we have given. There are areas, as outlined, where the massage may be in a circular motion. It may all be of the circular nature if it will be away from the head always.

  1. (Q) Due to mother’s condition, for the next few months may the massage be given later than the treatment, by the father when he comes home? (A) The massage may be done by anyone who is patient and persistent, but as indicated, do not attempt to delegate to someone else that which should be the privilege and the opportunity of the parents. Others may do it, even a little better, yet in mind, in body, in spirit, those who are to heal themselves in healing this body must do the applying.

  2. (Q) Is the appliance being attached and working properly? (A) It is doing very well. Attach the plates with adhesive. This is the better manner to hold steady, one on each side of the little post or plate, see? Keep these plates very clean, cleaning them when taking from the body and each time just before attaching. See that all connections are kept intact. Do disconnect from the solutions when not in use. Do put them together at least twenty minutes before they are to be attached to the body. In some of these they haven’t been given sufficient time for the flow to start the form of electrical vibration that is set up.

  3. (Q) Would it be alright to put low oxford shoes on the body? (A) These will be very well when it is sufficiently warm.

  4. (Q) Any advice as to building up the shoe to fit the left foot? (A) This can be easily done by a good shoe man.

  5. (Q) Any advice as to helping the body to talk? (A) Don’t be impatient. Don’t be impatient. Be very patient yourself and you will find that the impatience in self creates impatience in the child, as does the anxiety create anxiety and indifference in the child. Be patient, be kind, be gentle, be longsuffering. Thus we will get results.

  6. We are through with this Reading.
