1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now we find there are many conditions that enter in, or bring about, or have to do with even the physical conditions existent in the physical body. While the troubles as disturb the body have been and are partially treated in the proper manner; yet, as is seen from the results as have been attained through the application of those things as used for the betterment of the physical conditions of the body, there has not come the desired result. Hence there is easily seen - and it becomes a significant fact - that the basis or the cause, or that producing the disturbance, has not been reached; and while the body, the mental abilities of the body, above the ordinary, and while the body within itself is psychic in the manner wherein that the applications of laws, truths and tenets as may be set forth by the body MIND of the body would apply, and do apply WELL, in the lives of others; yet apparently the body within itself has not been able, and is NOT able, to create that sufficient attitude to meet the needs for the physical conditions of the body. This great lesson the body then should take to self, for self, and in giving same to others in the tenets, in the lessons, in the truths as being set forth; that is, that the body - physically, mentally, spiritually - is one BODY; yet, in the varied conditions as arise within a physical body, these must often be treated as a unit - that is, each element treated as a unit - yet in the fullest application they are ONE. Hence, as has been given concerning physical conditions in others, here we find physical must be MET with physical - and the ALONE application of mental and physical are not sufficient any more than the purely spiritual and
2263-1 Page 2
MENTAL is sufficient for purely physical conditions, that must be met with the elements and laws as control physical effects created in a physical living organism! While a physical living organism represents to the sensuous mind of man that of the full complete elements of every element contained within the universe - for it is a portion, or a universe within itself - yet when one element has become so out of balance with another in a physical organism that destructive forces are created within the elements of the vibratory forces as are set in motion within the body, or each unit of the body within itself is as a full cellular organism and a portion of the whole of the universal whole, and when one of these - or many of these - as in the instance of this organism of the body - become so unbalanced as to need the correction within self, then we may find that the body is to be applied in physical manner toward that which will in the PHYSICAL sense meet the needs of that unbalanced, or that uncoordinating element WITHIN the physical, as to make it one again WITH the whole element and thus bring the better or nearer normal conditions for a body; for, as is seen within this physical organism, all of the life - all of the lives - all of the karmic influences have to do with conditions existent in the physical body. Hence when one vibratory force within an element becomes out of attunement with the whole, there may be expected that attribute responding within that physical organism that will prevent the full attunement of the body to the whole. Hence the necessity of MEETING the conditions in the proper way and manner.
4. As to the physical conditions existent in the body, we find there are organic conditions existent that bring about troublesome conditions to the heart's action, to the blood supply, to the digestion especially, as is seen through the action of the pancreas within the system itself and this effect produced to kidneys and whole hepatic circulation. These all as vibrations as set in the system. Now, when these are considered within the light of the anatomical forces as are set within a physical body, we find the liver and the kidneys as poles within the system - one a positive, one a negative, or they may be reversed by conditions existent in a circulation. These each acting as forces within the body to keep the proper equilibrium within the circulation, and also in the nerve supply, with the brain energies or forces of the body supplying that necessary energy as keeps same in its proper way and manner.
5. When the digestive system, then, became so out of balance through karmic influences - or through that as may be termed
2263-1 Page 3
pre-dispositioned of conditions in the body - and the physical action of the body was such as to keep these in attunement with same, rather than correcting same within the physical forces - then be brought about these disturbing elements. Though no organic heart trouble exists, organic trouble with the pancreas and the liver and kidneys DOES exist.
6. These are, then, uncorrected vibratory forces as are set within the body of this ENTITY, or the body here known as the body given. These bring forces, then, uncomplimentary to the mental and physical being of the body, creating fear, creating elements within self as prevent the proper attributes. Yet there is often seen, even under the stress and strain, the body brings - through the mental, and through the brain and spiritual forces of the body - that which is WONDERFUL to be understood by others, and even that that others APPLYING in their OWN lives may be awakened to the spiritual forces as are manifest through the many psychic forces of a living human body in the material sensuous plane; yet in the very act that the body is not able to attune self in the same force, under the same environmental conditions under which the body finds many of those whom the body would aid, assist and direct - this in itself BRINGS to the body those things that are detrimental in the development of the mental, spiritual and soul body of this entity in itself. Then, necessarily, we meet the needs of the physical forces as applied in the body.
7. To meet these at the present time we would apply at least three elements to begin with, to meet these needs. First we would have the gentle massage over the whole system, neuropathically - or swedish massage - that prevents the body from throwing off through one or the other of the eliminating centers without proper equalization to those even under distress. These should be given at least once or twice each day. This will prevent the swelling as will occur in various portions when these are not kept up. These also will allow the body to rest and recuperate more within its OWN SELF from within; that is, in rest or in sleep.
8. We would add also those of medicinal properties within the system prepared in THIS way and manner:
9. To eight (8) ounces of distilled water add six (6) ounces plain garden sage, two (2) ounces ragweed or ambrosia weed. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the quantity. Then strain. While warm add two (2) ounces of beet sugar dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot water, ten (10) grains of ambergris dissolved in one (1) ounce of pure grain alcohol, one-half (1/2) dram powdered cinnamon, four
2263-1 Page 4
(4) ounces gin, preferably Gordon Gin - or the alcohol eighty percent (80%) solution to which that is added that makes synthetic gin, or the juniper berry, or oil of juniper, until it's sufficient to make in a solution that would act as synthetic gin - preferably, though, use that of Gordon Gin.
10. The dose of this would be (and it should be shaken well together before each dose is taken) half a teaspoonful four (4) times each day.
11. Let the diet be of those properties that prevent too much of the supplying of the drosses in the system - that, then, easily digested. Preferably those of the diet for the condition as existent, or as has been diagnosed of heart and of stomach and of the gouty condition, as prepared by Kellogg sanitarium. These, as we see, will consist of yogurt in its various forms, of the nuts and of the fruits in their various forms. Follow those outlines as stipulated in their reference to condition as is seen in this body, or as has been diagnosed for the physical condition. Do that. Then in thirty to sixty days we would give further instructions concerning this.
12. In the mental forces of the body - work out thine own salvation in fear and trembling, giving thine self to the powers that be, that self may be used as an instrument of service to others in directing them in the writings that the body may give.
13. We are through for the present.
