1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the body very good, both in mental and physical functioning. There would be rather the warnings to the body regarding conditions as exist, than of correction or correcting of disorders present in the physical forces.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [69], we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this very good, both as to quantity and quality, and the effect as is created in the system, through which the supply operates, both as to the functioning of the organs as control same, and the plasm as is created IN the organs to bring that assimilation for resuscitation of life forces in the blood stream. However, that which would be the warning comes from conditions as exist in functioning of the system as related to the cellular forces in the assimilation in the body, for the tendencies as are apparent in the plasm - as related to the hemoglobin - show at times a form of crystal, that is NOT in keeping with full resuscitation in the blood plasm, which tends to increase the amount of the sugars as are effective in the system. Not that as taken FOR assimilation, but that created by the cellular forces in the system when digestion takes place, and is an activity of the pancreas with the plasm, or a portion of the plasm that is active in the central lobe of the liver. This that which at times mentally causes sudden depressions to the body. This may be only spasmodic, or may be that the depression forms as a pain to the central portion of the brain, as is related to the vision. Not that the eye or the reflex of vision becomes affected from this condition, but the effect is rather the result of pressure IN that region in its reflex, physically active.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this very good, both in the sympathetic and cerebrospinal, and - as for the SENSORY -
69-2 Page 2
these may be made by the body, through its mental activity, either acute - or may be altered to that wherein the negative active forces become prominent. This rather relating to the psychic forces of the physical body.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, the brain forces good. Discernment fine. That of discrimination, to self WELL; to others, not always so well.
6. In the functioning of the sensory organism, this - as seen - only relating to that of the plasm as is created in a portion of the blood supply, that at times causes a reaction to the sensory system - especially through that of vision.
7. Throat, bronchials, larynx - good. There are periods when there is the sensation of a tickling in the bronchia. This the overactivity of sympathetic forces; not an organic, not even a functional disorder; rather nerve reaction, and NOT a disorder, other than irritating to the senses of the system at times.
8. The lungs and heart's action near normal.
9. The digestive system very good, save as has been indicated, that warning should be taken as respecting the character of plasm created in the system.
10. The digestive forces as related to assimilation, as given.
11. The functioning of the hepatic circulation, very near to normal - though at times there are periods when distresses through the colon gives distress in the form of a reaction to the system. This not a fault. Rather the inactivity of the physical body as respecting that portion of the system, and the in-application or un-application of the mental body towards those of the physical reaction in the physical body.
12. Then, to meet these conditions, or to be forearmed for the warnings:
13. Rather that with the mental applications, apply also physical forces, or exercises as stable as the mental is exercised, so exercise the physical in certain or specific directions as related to the assimilation and digestive forces of the body. Applying these, will bring long life in this experience, and the ability to aid in many directions. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What is the peculiar sensation felt in left temple? (A) Psychic forces as applied to the expression of self, related to those nerves as find expression through that portion of the body. The tingling as is caused is the response of the cerebrospinal with the sympathetic, and the body may consciously or unconsciously PRODUCE that of a voluntary or an involuntary reaction, and may MAKE this acute by continuing holding same before self, or relieve

self by holding the positiveness of self's ability to control self's emotions.
15. (Q) Am I opening up any subconscious centers in my body? If so, what are they? (A) Those of the retrospective vision, the ability to control self in this direction will aid much in giving help and aid to others, as to their abilities to conquer, use or apply self in the MENTAL world; not material - for to be material minded is to block self, for this body.
16. (Q) What foods should I eat and not eat? (A) The body is a very good dietician for itself! Those of the fruit and nuts, with those of the grains that are whole in their food values. Little or no meats, but those proteins that may be gained from whole grain is sufficient.
17. (Q) Why have I not overcome constipation? (A) Not sufficient activity of the system in the lower portion. THIS, for this body, will overcome it. Not so much other than the diet that's been taken. Of morning - upon arising - exercise the body only from the waist up, of morning - see? Before retiring, the circular motion of the body from the diaphragm down.
18. (Q) Why is it difficult for me to remember? (A) It isn't difficult! It's rather trained in self to FORGET! See the differentiation between forgetting and remembering, is - MEMORY is the exercising of the inner self as related to thought. To acknowledge that the memory is poor, is to say you don't think much! The forgetting is to say that the thought becomes self-centered, for memory is thought - even as thought is memory, brought to the forefront by the association of ideas.
19. (Q) The body wishes to know who is speaking. (A) The body knows!
