1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1073]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the present, there are rather acute conditions that arise from inactivity of some of the glandular system; produced by a great deal of anxiety and the attitudes that have become a portion of the entity's experience - being an effect of subjugating or of not giving full expression of self in the ways felt.
3. While the condition in the present is at times very disturbing and aggravating, especially as to the manner in which there are the feelings about the throat, the larynx and the base of the activities of the thyroid glands, this as yet is not as has been suspected by the body (or the entity). But, unless there are the activities that would alter much the manifestations of expression in body, it may become a very disturbing condition.
4. These portions of the glands are involved, yet they are not setting up a growth as yet; rather repressions as from the tightening that appears in the emotions of a body.
5. And these should find, as has been indicated for the body, rather the expression in busying the activities of self, and those abilities that are so well a portion of the whole of the entity, in ways and manners that may be helpful to others.
6. If there is still held that of self-pity, or the continued making for condemnation of self, such influences work as definitely upon the physical organisms as related to the sensory reactions as slow poison to the system.
7. For anger, resentment, condemnation can and do oft in the experiences of individuals build those influences that give expressions in forces that have been so hard to combat in human experience - and give expressions in those things that become hard to deal with.
8. So may the activities of this body be expended in the
1073-5 Page 2
abilities to find more and more the expression of self, in the use of the voice, in the music, in the rhythm that may mean, does mean, so much in the lives and the experiences of others. Unless they are given such expression, these tend to make for such repressions as to become destructive forces.
9. Because there has been the attempt of the body to do these in more or less of a whole-soul manner and then in half-hearted sort of ways - giving away to those feelings that its usefulness and its activities are passe' - these have but heaped upon the experience of the entity, in the body-actions, greater and greater dissenting and distrusting forces in itself and its abilities to meet not only the emergencies but the general activities of the day.
10. Disappointments become then more and more as mountains of influence that would work hardships upon the body.
11. Not that the body should act in a gay, frivolous manner, but rather as has been indicated for the body; that it should budget its time in those activities which are so necessary - which WERE SO necessary in the past, as may be experienced or known by the body if there is any form of introspection as to what was and is necessary for the preparation of a body in its physical and mental reactions to prepare itself for actions.
12. Then in such measures as these become necessary, apply self in some social activity, some recreation that is in the open, some recreation that is a training of the mental and physical activities, some period to reading and study, some periods to visiting and looking into the needs of less fortunate individuals, some periods of for discussion. All of these should be a part of the entity's activity.
13. And for the material destructive forces that have been reactory in the system, use these:
14. Take the active forces that work with the actions of the glandular system, that will cleanse same; that is, very small quantities of Atomidine will become very effective with the body. Do not take it haphazardly, but as has been given for the budgeting of self's time, self's activities, self's thoughts, self's reaction. So make certain periods. Preferably just before there is any food taken of morning. One minim in half a glass of water, once a day. Keep this up for two weeks - ten days to two weeks. Leave off for a week. But don't leave off for ten days! Don't leave off for two weeks! Do not take it one day and forget it the next! Do not take it two days and forget it for three! Do not do any of those things that are in the way of keeping the whole of
1073-5 Page 3
the mental, the spiritual and the physical as coordinating, in accord, and cooperating one with another!
15. Occasionally, once or twice a week, apply the Violet Ray to the head, the neck, the throat, and especially across those areas with the throat applicator and about the vagus center. Do this for two or three minutes. Do this for two or three periods, then rest for two or three periods. This as we find will set about those necessary reactions.
16. Also occasionally we would have a general massage treatment following the general sweats. Not raising the temperature too high, but thorough rubdowns afterwards - preferably with salt rum. This about twice or three times a month will make much change.
17. As to the diets, keep those much in the way as has been indicated - in keeping an equal balance in the acidity of the system.
18. Do these, and - most of all - keep those attitudes as has been given.
19. Ready for questions.
20. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Mrs. [601]
