1. EC: Now, in the physical, mental and spiritual forces in this body, which complete the entity at this time, we have a good manifestation of the entity in a psychological understanding and manifestation of the psychology of an entity, for we find the mental rules in this entity, as it should in the earth plane, and the physical is under subjugation of the mental proclivities of the entity. That is, we have in this entity one well rounded to a completion of the forces in the earth plane, for there is much spiritual understanding with the mental forces, and the entity needs only to keep all the forces well rounded in that straight and narrow way that leads to the perfect understanding.
2. As to the physical conditions, we find in the present forces these are very good in many respects. There are some conditions that the body needs from the physical, from the mental, from the spiritual aspect, to be wary of, for the soul, spirit and the physical must ever remember the physical body, the material body, is but the temple through which the mental forces, with the will, builds to that I AM that must ever live, and without the perfect balanced forces the best cannot be given or manifested through the present entity's forces.
3. These are the physical conditions as we find them at the present time, though there have been in times back other conditions that were abnormal, and there have been many stages through which the physical has developed to the present condition. The present condition far exceeds any in health-giving forces at present since the body was three cycles old.
4. In the present physical forces then, we find as these, [2801] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find fairly good. The constituents of the supply being well balanced. However, we find there are times when the emunctories do not perform their proper functioning. Especially do we find this in the kidneys and in the hypogastric circulation. In this condition we find there are times when the poisons from this
2801-1 Page 2
are thrown back into the circulation, though with the mental forces and with the physical conditions as exist in many of the functioning organs the system more often takes well care of this condition. Beware that this does not grow, or that the system lacks those forces necessary to reduce or to eliminate these conditions.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the body very good. There, however, have been in times back conditions that existed in the system, when there were troubles in organs as well as in the functioning of same that were hindered by nerve conditions. That is, conditions existed in the system where the nerve supply, with muscles and tissue, was involved, and the functioning of organs, and organs as organs, were involved. Such conditions existed in the upper portion of solar plexus center and in the sacral plexus center. These, however, do not have this depression or this effect at present in the system. However, the condition sympathetically with the condition in hypogastric both become involved again. Hence the warning as given. In the sympathetic system this we find shows how that the mental forces have been so used in the system as to aid as much as any that has been given in the system to produce and bring adjustments of functioning organs, and the effect in physical has been to bring the coordination of the functioning system together. Hence all system has been brought to a coordinating system from the viewpoint of mental forces having the dominion over the material or physical body, directed ever by the spiritual forces and the will of the entity.
7. IN THE PHYSICAL ORGANS, brain forces very good.
8. Organs of the sensory system very good for the conditions as have existed beyond the normal, for mental forces aid specifically through the sympathetic, which becomes a portion of the sensory system.
9. Throat, lungs and larynx, bronchials, are very good. Some conditions have existed in times back in the larynx and in the upper portion, about that of the tonsils and in the nasal cavity. These have been brought near to normal forces.
10. Digestive tract very good. Only when we have the excess of the hypogastric forces, involved in the condition through its cycle of eliminating forces, do we have trouble with digestion. That rather is distress without the direct cause, for the functioning of spleen, pancreas and duodenum are very good.
11. Liver near normal at present. There have been times when this was involved in conditions, as is shown by
2801-1 Page 3
conditions existing in the right lobe. Subjugated, however, and functioning very good at present.
12. Upper portion of digestion, in intestines we are speaking of, we find there has been at times about some of the lacteal glands distresses. Hence the condition as is where the flow of blood from same to hypogastric plexus in the central portion of body affects the kidneys in circulation. That is, hindered or prevented circulation and elimination through the kidneys proper. In this we find the distress.
13. In the pelvic organs, in this we find at present normal functioning for conditions. There are external forces that have been applied through portions of the body. These we find now show the excess to be eliminated at times, for the system continues to function through lyden [Leydig] glands. These show a strain at times.
14. In the kidneys proper we find, with the hepatic circulation near normal and the hypogastric overflow, the emunctories in the kidneys become surcharged at times. Hence we have in the lower dorsals and upper lumbars a condition that needs to be adjusted or kept adjusted by rather the deep manipulation of muscular forces than adjusting of conditions in spinal centers to produce the elimination by stimulating the muscular forces along which the nerves travel in and about these portions, as a stimulation there stimulates the hypogastric center and stimulates the excretory forces in kidney. We eliminate more properly. This would be better then by taking properties in the system that would act directly to kidneys through that kind of stimulation.
15. As to the mental forces of body, these, as we have given, are above the ordinary, though not super-normal. Above normal as to the spiritual forces, for we find the body has an earthly as well as a spiritual guide, that is one that has passed into the Beyond, is a guide for the spiritual forces of this entity, of which this spirit and soul forces are a part.
16. These, both mental and spiritual, need only to keep then close to that injunction "Present the body wholly [holy] and acceptable unto Him, for it is only a reasonable service".
