Time of Reading (Delayed on account of late mail) 12:15 to 12:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1614].
2. Now as we find, while there are physical disturbances which prevent the better normal reactions, in giving the causes and their effects upon the physical body much of that which is a part of the heritage of the mental AND physical must be taken into consideration.
3. There are the inclinations and tendencies towards a LACK of the influences to prevent portions of the body becoming rather lacking in sufficient energies to keep the system functioning properly; or there is a character of anemia.
4. From the physical angle, we find that these continue to bring disturbances; especially in the ducts and glands about the assimilating system. These are in the form or nature more of adhesions, that form in the LIKENESS of scar tissue.
5. Then, this drainage upon the system - as combined with the adhesions (in the lacteal duct and caecum area) - produces a pressure upon the nervous system that causes those reactions in which the body becomes highly sensitive to all the influences about it.
6. Hence at times, under stress, the effect of odors, the effect of noises, the effect of activities of individuals become as almost OPPRESSIVE to the body.
7. The reactions upon the nervous system produce at times periods of overexaltation, as might be termed, or over-nervousness; while at other times they become very depressing, with the inclinations for melancholia; becoming
1614-1 Page 2
rather jerky; and the desire to be alone - while at other times the desires are just the opposite. Yet to all of these the reactions would be to become inclined rather to pity or to be sorry for self, or to blame self for circumstances or conditions with which the body physically or mentally has little to do.
8. Now as we find, these conditions may be MATERIALLY aided - as they have been - through suggestion, through care, through applications that would become more of a physical nature.
9. Then:
10. About three times a week we would apply heavy Castor Oil Packs over the liver AND the lacteal duct, as well as a portion of the central nervous system - or the umbilicus plexus, especially toward the right side. This would mean three to four thicknesses of flannel soaked in Castor Oil and applied as warm as the body can well stand, though not so hot as to burn the body. Leave these on for an hour to two hours. These as we find will relax the system.
11. Then with suggestion, with massage - gently given; and ESPECIALLY some corrections, with the massage, in the sacral AND the lower lumbar areas, we will find we may break up these conditions.
12. As medicinal properties we would add as a tonic the preparation called Codiron; this taken twice each day, and must be kept up for SEVERAL weeks, or until at least a couple of hundred tablets or pellets have been taken.
13. Each day we would also use the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance. This would be taken preferably twice a day, about twenty to thirty minutes each period, morning and evening - the last period being just before retiring, or after getting ready to retire. Circulate the attachments each time about the body in the manners as we have indicated for its use; that is: Mark one anode so it may ALWAYS be the one to attach first: Then:
14. 1st period: Make the first attachment to the right wrist, the last attachment to the left ankle.
15. 2nd period: The first would be to the left wrist, the last to the right ankle.
16. 3rd period: First to the left ankle, last to the right wrist.
17. 4th period (which in this case would be at the end of the second day, you see): First to the right ankle, last to the left wrist.
18. Thus a circle will have been made of the body; the first attached being the positive, the last the negative. Then commence over again. Continue in this manner for ten days
1614-1 Page 3
or two weeks, then leave off a few days; then begin again - and so on.
19. These vibratory forces in the Radio-Active Appliance are only controlled in the body, you see; and are not active unless attached TO the body.
20. Also we find that the low electrical forces, as of ANY electrical vibrations, would be well for the body.
21. In the diet, keep to those foods that are body-building, blood-supplying; especially - not too acid, not too alkaline. These as we find would have to be judged rather by the reactions that occur, under the directions of one who may make the applications of the low electrical forces and the massage.
22. When the Radio-Active Appliance is attached, use such periods as the periods for meditation. In thy own words, yes - but after this manner:
23. See, feel, use the promises that are thine from the study especially of the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John. Let them be as words to THEE!
24. Then thy meditation:
25. "FATHER, GOD! IN THY PROMISES, THROUGH JESUS THE CHRIST, I CLAIM THY PROTECTION, THY LOVE, THY CARE!
26. "MAKE OF MY BODY THAT THOU SEEST AS THE BETTER CHANNEL, THE BEST CHANNEL AS A SERVICE TO THEE.
27. "RENEW A RIGHTEOUS SPIRIT WITHIN ME. KEEP MY WAYS DAY BY DAY."
28. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (A.R.E.) " " Dr. [1613] " " Mrs. [489] (Codiron is manufactured by The Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill., sold in $1 quantities - tablets in bottles.)
