Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: We have the body here, [1496].

2. Now as we find, while the general conditions in the physical forces of the body are very good, these in some manners need a greater stimulation to care FOR those changes that may be wrought in assisting the body to replenish or rebuild SPECIFIC conditions that are disturbing the body.

3. And these, unless there ARE changes wrought, must make this experience rather a dark one from the physical standpoint.

4. As we find, while there is lack of proper nutriment or building supplies in the physical body going to the optic nerves themselves, this is not a condition of glaucoma nor of atrophy of the nerve itself, but is rather from lack of supply of energy from those branches in the cerebrospinal system that produce the impulse for the flow of blood supply TO those centers to the optic nerves.

5. Hence, as we find, there may come material aid. However, this may require some little time, some persistence, and a great deal of patience - FROM the mental and the spiritual sources.

6. Yet physical applications, as combined with faith and hope and consistency, will bring a great deal of help; and more than a sixty percent increase in the visibility for the body than from that indicated in the present.

7. As we find, then, there must be a RELEASING of those pressures that are indicated in the upper dorsals and through the cervical centers. This as we find had best be applied in a chiropractic AND a neuropathic manner; and then the stimulation - not directly to the optics or eyeballs themselves - of the low electrical vibrations that will enable those ganglia so released to stimulate the circulation directly to those portions of the body.

8. In the application of the vibratory forces that stimulate the body, make the application of the one anode or plate to the centers released in the cervical area; and the other to the forehead ABOVE the eye, so that the stimulation would reach the center through the openings in that portion of the forehead - or just above the eyelid and below the brow, see?

9. These we would give for periods of three to four weeks, about three to four times a week; and then rest periods.

10. During all these periods it is well that a warm wash be used - not too strong a solution, but that would cleanse the eyes - such as that used for infants' eyes; not silver, to be sure, but those properties that are cleansing and soothing; that the stimulation may then be aided to carry off the drosses produced.

11. We would suggest such treatments as may be administered by Dr. Mary Miller.

12. Ready for questions.

13. (Q) Can the entire treatments be given by Dr. Miller? (A) Hasn't it just been given? These are given by Dr. Miller!

14. (Q) May eyesight be restored completely through these treatments? (A) As has been indicated.

15. (Q) Any spiritual advice? (A) As has been indicated, there is the need of patience, hope, persistence. Let the meditation oft be, in sincerity; not as mere words, but as these: "FATHER, GOD! IN THY LOVE, IN THY MERCY, LOOK UPON THY HANDMAID, WHO SEEKS TO HAVE THY WILL DONE IN AND THROUGH MY BODY. "SO STIMULATE, O FATHER, EVERY EMOTION, EVERY ACTIVITY IN MY BODY, IN MY BEING, THAT THERE MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED IN ME THAT AS THOU HAST GIVEN AND DOST GIVE OF THY LOVE AND MERCY FOR THE MANIFESTING OF SAME IN ME. "DO THIS, O LORD, IN THY GRACE, THY LOVE, THY MERCY. AND HELP ME TO SO LIVE, SO THINK, SO BE, THAT THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED NOW."
