Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ill. (Physical and Mental Suggestions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2372]. Now, we find there are disorders in the physical functioning of this body that, producing the specific conditions, hinders in the mental body's expression of self.
2. These conditions have to do with the glands as control in impulse, and are consequently of an auto-sympathetic condition.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find with this body, [2372], we are speaking of:
4. In the BLOOD SUPPLY - this, being of the physical, is near normal in its elements and constituents. However, we find there ARE times when the continued flow through portions of the system is hindered, as we shall see.
5. In the NERVE SYSTEM, and SYSTEMS, here we find the cause or the seat of the trouble. Being of the specific nature, there are the specific reactions UNDER conditions that savor of the physical; yet HINDERED in such a manner as little or no exterior conditions manifest themselves; but we find that in times back, in the presentation, there was a hindrance to the normal manifestation of the presentation, and THAT a pressure produced in the 2nd and 3rd cervical has impinged the center as governed through the sympathetic and the pineal, that - in the distribution of impulse through the sensory system, as related to either sight, sound, speech or odors, will respond in almost the SAME reaction as to impulses through the lyden [Leydig] glands in the base of the brain, so that the impulse received through the medulla oblongata is oftentimes choked, and causes the distortion as to physical and mental reaction - though, taken nominally, there will be the normal response to impulse. This, also, has had much to do with the developments of the body-PHYSICAL as related to sex. This, under the condition, is normal. Under the changes as may be wrought, we find that this - released too suddenly - would be destructive in either of the reactions in the pineal, developing an
2372-1 Page 2
abnormalcy in the pelvic organs or of floundering, as it were, in the brain's impulse. This, then, as WE find, MAY BE relieved, and near normalcy brought to this body.
6. In the physical functioning of the ORGANS themselves, both as related to the PHYSICAL reaction and the mental reaction:
7. Now, we find there is the physical body, the mental body, and the spiritual body. The mental body, the concept of mental reaction as is related to the physical functionings of a body, as controlled by or governed through impulses relating to the individuality, or the SOUL of an individual, or an entity. In the SPIRITUAL body, THIS remains ever the same - unless it be magnified or glorified through the individual application of the soul forces of a body as related to its development. Hence we may find that there are conditions that respond wholly to the application of mental forces as related to physical conditions in an existent system. These, then, are controlled through the spiritual insight as is awakened in the INDIVIDUAL entity. In this body we find much of the mental being hindered by this impulse as is often cut off through an impingement in the physical body, regulating impulses to the brain forces, as is seen in this center here in the upper cervical, sympathetically engorged, in the lumbar.
8. In the physical being, then, the BRAIN a NOMINAL developed brain - even expanse greater; indentations less - for these are governed by the impressions of impulse through their channels to the cerebrum itself, and become a portion of same through the application of that as IS attained through that impulse in the activity to which the PHYSICAL is put as relating to the body. In this particular body, as we find, as has been given - the blood supply being at times cut off by this impingement, also finds that IMPULSE is HINDERED from its activity through this governor, or through this portion of the lyden's activity.
9. In the normal activity of the physical FORCES in body, these are physically fit - even throughout the whole system.
10. Then, to meet the needs in the present existent condition:
11. First, the surroundings should be such as are PLEASANT to the development of this body. Not all the time HUMORED, as would be termed in that direction - for the combativeness of a nature is necessary for the reactions to take place, and the release of the flow of impulse TO the brain must be made in that manner in which it will NOT be released at once, but of a gradual growth. This may be accomplished by the gradual placement of the impingement, and by awakening
2372-1 Page 3
in the nerve itself that of the stability as is NECESSARY for the stablizing of nerve impulse - which may be had through the application of the Radio-Active Appliance carrying both Gold and Silver. To be sure, these are NOT to be applied at the same time, but one would be applied - the Gold first, we would say - on Tuesday. Then the application of the Silver (nitrate) on Thursday. Then the Gold again on Tuesday, and the Silver again on Thursday - and not for a LONGER duration than thirty minutes each period.
12. We would also make that correction in the cervical, by the OSTEOPATHIC method.
13. In attaching the anodes to this body: When attaching, or giving the treatment with the Gold - the negative anode should be attached at the 1st and 2nd cervical, and the positive at the umbilicus. When the Silver is being given, the positive would be attached to the wrist and the negative attached at the 9th dorsal center - see?
14. The impingements should be released with the manipulation EACH day, but adjustments of the minor nature may only be made every third day. This done under the supervision of one in sympathy, one that will follow up those changes as will be necessary, will bring this body - [2372] - to a nearer and almost a perfect NORMALCY. Necessarily, it will require patience and persistence, care and attention, but - to be sure - it is worth it, for a soul to find its own development.
15. As for the diets, keep them well balanced, and there SHOULD be a companion WITH the body continually.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) In speaking of the companion, who should this be - a mother, a nurse, or an aunt? (A) A nurse should be a continued companion, but there should not be the denial, for the body has ever - and SEEKS those of its own kin. These should often be about.
18. (Q) The mother is at present with the body. Where should the body be brought, that she may get this treatment followed? (A) It may be found at Virginia Beach, through those sources, those channels, which seek to aid. They are in sympathy, and these applications physical, and of the vibratory nature, may be applied there.
19. (Q) Should the mother accompany the body? (A) The mother should, for this consideration of the satisfaction or knowing that the surroundings are ever that as is in keeping with that being attempted to be accomplished, would be most satisfying.
20. (Q) When would you advise the body coming to Virginia Beach? (A) That, the sooner the beginning - certainly the sooner
2372-1 Page 4
will be the accomplishment of results.
21. (Q) Will her present physical condition permit her to make the trip at this time? (A) With the application of those of the manipulation, soon the body would be able to make the trip, and the general condition as has been outlined followed most closely.
22. (Q) That is, she should have manipulations before making the trip? (A) Before making the trip.
23. (Q) To whom should she go for those that would be given correctly? (A) One in that profession as has been outlined.
24. (Q) Is there one in Evanston who would do this correctly? (A) Yes - this may be obtained from anyone in sympathy with that as may be accomplished. The name - this may be found in the association of those who FOLLOW this line of treatment.
25. (Q) How long will it be before she will be able to make the trip to Virginia Beach? (A) Three to four weeks.
26. (Q) Should any other treatment, other than manipulations, be given in this time? (A) The ash may be given for a centralization of the oxygen, as is necessary to create surrogation in system. This may be given, but we would only give a very small quantity each day - say one-eighth grain once each day.
27. (Q) Would it be better for her to remain in Evanston or go to New York and be with her aunt preparatory to the trip to the Beach? (A) In that case, we would have more MENTAL treating - which would be beneficial.
28. (Q) Which would you suggest that be done? (A) We would make the CHANGE to New York, and THEN to the Beach.
29. (Q) Should her mother go to New York with her? (A) It would be necessary at the first.
30. (Q) How long, by following the suggestions given, will it be before she is restored to normal health? (A) This would require about one to one and a half cycle, for a perfect cure.
31. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do this, and we will find results - for, to be sure, there must be the aiding through those seeking to bring the perfect contact in the spiritual and mental plane.
