Time of Reading 2:10 to 2:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body [444], present in this room.
2. As to the physical conditions that we find existent, that which may be most helpful for the body would be in keeping or maintaining the nearer correct or normal affinity between the elements that make up the physical, the mental and the spiritual bodies. This would be more in accord with that which might be helpful. For, with this body more than most bodies, as we find, a conscious effort on the part of the body may make for almost whatever type of reaction physically that might be desired for the body.
3. True, there are physical conditions that at times make for some disturbance; yet when the body stops itself to analyze same the body-mental is capable of knowing and experiencing not only the cause but that which to the great measure may correct that physical condition.
4. A material body in a material world, to be sure, is subject to material laws; and a mental body that manifests through a perfectly balanced material body may see and experience and be conscious of the mental body from quite a different angle, or make quite a different approach to the physical aspects or experiences of bodies, as well as function in such a manner in relation to spiritual things as to use the attributes. Or, to become conscious in a material world it is necessary that some attribute of a normal body be made aware or conscious of that activity in its action, in its expression, in manifestation in material things.
5. Hence, as we find, from the physical angle or viewpoint, these conditions exist in this body, [444] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. As to the BLOOD SUPPLY, we find a body efficient in the proper division of the blood cells in numbers, both as to white and red blood supply. The division in the warriors within the white blood is near normally balanced, and that
444-2 Page 2
which acts rather as the plasm for recuperative forces in used tissue - whether related to the mental attributes or physical forces of the body.
7. The plasms of the activity of blood supply, as related to either the ohms or the urea or the elements in the hemoglobin, are well balanced; because mostly the body desires it so to be. For, the body may manifest itself that it may increase circulation where or when it desires to do so. This would be a very good experience for the body to show for itself those variations that may be made in pulsations in varied portions of the body. Not merely as a phenomenon or experimentation, but that - when there is the cause and the need - there may be the increased activity through the blood stream, which is evidenced or recognized in material things as being the life flow of a physical body. Be capable of doing this and applying same in the correct manner.
8. The NERVOUS SYSTEM: In the nerve plexus we find there have been occasions when the activities of the body-mental and body-physical have not always coordinating as to that which was or is to be the control in the body.
9. Hence we find there are ganglia about the cerebrospinal system that show impulsive reaction between sympathetic and cerebrospinal activity.
10. Don't consider nor get the idea that this is a physical derangement to harm, unless allowed to become excessive to such measures as to produce incoordination in impulses throughout the body.
11. Impulses receive their activity both from the soul's manifestation in a physical body and that the body-consciousness is aware of as impelling activity upon the physical organisms of the body.
12. Hence that great discussion (which has been interesting to this body) as to which is the most impelling in the influence of an active mind, environment or heredity; or, does blood tell or does the mental mind tell the most in that which may influence or be the most consistently active in the experience of an individual entity, body, mind or soul?
13. Then, in giving the physical attributes of this body here, let's treat them as ONE, but knowing they exist in the physical body as one; as also does the flexus of any muscular force in the body become impelled by that it is fed upon in its physical activity, as well as being acted upon that it may be aware of through any of the mental consciousness of the body - and thus become the more concerted in its activity as to that the body-mind, the
444-2 Page 3
mental-body, the soul-body, feeds upon and acts in itself as related to that it has become conscious or aware of.
14. In relation to this, it may be asked by the body: Through what channels does this activity occur, or this condition that is spoken of as being physically present in relation to the ganglia of the nervous system?
15. Through assimilation of influences from without, there is the activity upon various portions of the system to impel or create or give out that which not only makes for the sustaining of the activity but supplies the ohms, in the urea of the system, that which reproduces itself in its propagation in the physical body.
16. Hence, as the activities in this particular body have been along so many varied lines, so many activities as related to spiritual activity, mental associations, physical attributes being impelled or controlled by these, these have been so accentuated as to make for these physical conditions existent.
17. What supplies this ohm, what supplies the urea necessary for the constitution of the activities in the physical system? This is done through the secretions of glands as related to the varied portions of the physical organism.
18. Then, as the body does comprehend, does understand, does apply these truths, these conditions, these attributes within itself, the body of itself becomes its own best physician. And in the study of these conditions, whether related to the physical or mental body as we separate it for understanding spiritual attributes in the physical body, so may the body apply that necessary influence for healing in self, for keeping a proper balance, for maintaining a growing, developing mind, body, soul.
19. In keeping these, we would make these as suggestions for the body:
20. Know that Life in its manifestation is of that force called electrical, and in its vibrations as of positive and negative forces - in even the atoms or cells of the body - is builded by that which influences and, as has been shown, is of its own hereditary influence, by the active forces upon the vitamin forces.
21. Hence, when any necessary force is needed for creating this balance that may through emotion, through contact, through infection or the like at times become overactive or submerged in the numbers of the active forces between the positive and negative influences, it may be supplied by maintaining that balance through the lowest form of electrical vibration that may be created in the body; and, too, self may store within self's own body that which is
444-2 Page 4
natural in healing influence to others by laying on of hands, and by the stimulation of those vibrations necessary as may pass through any particular portion of another body that needs the creating of balance in that physical body.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Please explain more clearly how the body should go about a study of the low electrical vibratory forces. (A) The low electrical vibratory forces are existent. They ARE! Or, as may be said, the lowest form of electrical vibration IS the basis of life. The application of such vibrations to the body when it is fagged in mind, in physical endurance, will stimulate the necessary influences for the body to return to the abilities within self to carry on, or to create the life influence for self, or that it may measure out to others. Not necessarily that alone, but that known as the Radio-Active Appliance influence.
24. (Q) Please explain and give such advice regarding the glandular activity within this body that may be helpful in its development. (A) Much might be given in this respect. The channels are weak through which this is being given in the present. These may be added, when the channels are cleared sufficient for better expression. But THIS for the body, [444] we are speaking of: The glands (through experiences which the body is conscious of having passed) are being coordinated in more perfect manners than they have in a great period in the experience. And that the body has chosen through self's own will to make for a study of, and to open self for the acknowledging and experiencing of that which may be raised or lowered in vibration throughout the body, makes for not only a soul advancement but greater abilities in the mental equipment and the mental abilities and scope of activity of this body.
25. We are through for the present. We would seek to give more for this body. Copy to Self " " File
