1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with special reference to the attacks the body has at times; you will go over the body carefully, telling me the conditions you find; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: [After repeating suggestion in an undertone] Yes, we have the body here, Father [2019] - Father [2019].
3. As we find the general physical forces are very good in many respects; yet there are disturbances at times which prevent the normal reactions in the body.
4. These, as will be seen, arise under conditions where strain is brought on the physical forces of the body, - through the very necessity of the period of consecration.
5. This is a physical condition that, as we find, may be removed or eliminated; and thus removing from the system the causes of those disturbances, also removing the necessity or cause for fear of ANY nature in relationship to same.
6. In times back, there were periods when there was a depletion of the physical forces through the lack of supplying full nutriment to the system. This caused, in those areas about the lacteal and umbilical plexus, a form of lesion - a tautness.
7. Not that it affects, as yet, the liver or the spleen, or even the gall duct's activity; though eventually, without its removal, it may cause disturbances through that area.
8. But with the periods of activity in which there is the refraining from foods, this becomes a retro-active condition in the physical force of the body; thus producing a spasmodic reaction in the nerve forces about the area, - causing a reaction through the sympathetic and cerebrospinal center, from the lower portion of the solar plexus center.
9. Thus there is an inclination for the losing of control of the sensory forces; for it produces, from the reaction, a

condition at the 1st cervical, or through the medulla oblongata - an unbalancing, as it were, of the reflexes to the sensory centers.
10. This as we find also produces in the general eliminating system the inclinations at times for the lack of proper or full eliminations.
11. When there has been, and is, the better or perfect accord in this direction, there is not such a great stress upon this disturbance in the right portion of the upper abdomen - as has been indicated - about the umbilical and lacteal duct center. Here we would find, upon examination, a COLD spot.
12. In making applications for eradicating the causes, then:
13. We would apply each evening, for two evenings, the heavy Castor Oil Packs; at least three thicknesses of heavy flannel, wrung out in Castor Oil, as hot as the body can stand same, and placed over the lower portion of the liver, gall duct and caecum area - this extending, of course, to the umbilical center. Let these remain for one hour at each application, keeping the Packs hot by wringing out of the hot Castor Oil two or three times during the application.
14. After the two days of applying the Packs, we would begin then with the osteopathic adjustments - with particular reference to a subluxation as will be found indicated in the lower portion of the 9th dorsal center, or 9th, 10th and 11th. Coordinate such correction with the lumbar axis and the upper dorsal and cervical centers.
15. There should not be required more than six adjustments to correct the condition.
16. Two of the Castor Oil Packs should be sufficient, but if in the administration of the adjustments it is found that this has NOT relaxed nor removed the cold spot, then apply the Packs again.
17. Then, be mindful that there are good eliminations, or a perfect or full evacuation of the alimentary canal each day.
18. When necessary, use a vegetable compound as a laxative, - such as Inner Clean or that having a senna base.
19. These done, in the manners indicated, will eradicate the causes of the disturbance, and produce throughout the physical forces of the body a better and a nearer normal reaction.
20. Keep that attitude of consistent help, aid for others. This is in keeping with the purposes, the desires, the heart of the entity.
21. Ready for questions.
22. We are through for the present.
