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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we find the body here, [3057].
3. As we find, there are many phases of existence to be taken into consideration, in giving that as might be helpful for this body, [3057] not merely the pathological conditions that exist but as to how - from the spiritual and mental phase of existence also - the body now called [3057] is meeting its own self; as well as the effect of the character of conditions presented as problems for those responsible for this entity - and the opportunities - that the administrations for physical and mental welfare of the body present to these bodies, as well as those that may be influenced by them.
4. These, then, are karmic - or cause and effect; psychological as well as pathological.
5. The structural portions of the body through the period of gestation were lacking in a complete united effort, and the proper consideration of those elements needed in the body of the mother through the period of gestation.
6. While from many angles the convulsions make the condition appear hopeless, as well as this inability of coordination in the muscular and structural portions of the body - we find that much may be done to meet these conditions. Though the distresses may not be entirely alleviated, they may be changed - as to intent and purpose, if the spiritual and mental life experience of the body is considered in the applications of a material nature that may be made.
7. Thus, an individual that might administer those suggestions that may be made here for the body, must be considered from not only the character of one well grounded in spiritual purposes but whose life itself would be
3057-1 Page 2
dedicated to aiding an individual entity in meeting itself.
8. Thus, as indicated in the law - one who changes a body from the error of the way not only brings peace and harmony but saves a soul and covers a multitude of shortcomings.
9. The incoordination indicated in the limbs is from the lack of elements, or of calcium of sufficient nature in the body, through the periods of gestation.
10. The developments that have become a part of the constitutional outlook, or the outward physical activity of the body in varied periods, are the result of those things in which the entity is meeting itself.
11. Pathologically, there is the lack of certain elements that go to make up stamina in nerve reflexes in the spinal cord as well as along the sympathetic nervous system - or the emotions, or the ability of the body to absorb by contact, mentally and physically, with those high ideals to be distributed in the consciousness even of the anatomical structure of the body.
12. Thus there has been the inability of the body to overcome this reflex that occurs from a lesion in the lacteal duct area.
13. Then, these are conditions to be met in this body:
14. First, physically, as indicated - there was lack of certain elements through the period of gestation. Now these find their expression in the lack of ability of the nerve flexes to create in the system that which would keep counter-balanced to environmental forces, as well as the spiritual and mental purposes of an individual entity.
15. The administrations that might be made for better conditions will be very long drawn out. While these may appear to be contradictory in some respects, the body must be AROUSED pathologically, mentally, sociologically, in the addition of elements that enable these reactions to be coordinant in their relationships with the mental aberrations that occur at times, especially in those periods when the body is prevented from controlling the muscles and the nerve tendons and the activities of some portions of the body.
16. These, though, may be stimulated to an action that - with the consistent use of massage, with those combinations of oils that may be given - may keep, and induce, such stimuli as to bring bettered conditions; slowly, to be sure, but SURELY.
17. First, then, begin with a relaxing massage to the body.
18. After the massage has been kept for some five days, - begin with the use of the Wet Cell Appliance, made in the regular manner; using to the gallon and a half of Distilled Water:
3057-1 Page 3
Copper Sulfate.....................1 1/2 pounds, Sulfuric Acid C.P......................1 ounce, Zinc..................................30 grains, Willow Charcoal (preferably in stick, or the like, rather than powdered, in this particular case).......1/2 pound. This would be the charging solution, you see, for the Appliance.
19. In the applications to the body, alternate between the vibratory forces of Gold and Silver. These should be kept in different containers, to be sure, so they may be easily directed to the body force itself.
20. The Appliance should be attached each day for one hour, one day using the Gold Solution, the next day using the Silver Solution, and so on.
21. When using the Gold Solution (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water - and use at least four ounces), attach the large nickel plate - through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially - to the umbilical and lacteal duct. Though the body is so thin it would appear that it might be applied from the back as well as from the front, do make the attachment from the front - so as to bring better activities in this circulation. The small copper plate would be attached to the upper part of the 9th dorsal ganglia.
22. The next day, when using the Silver Solution (in the proportions of one part Silver Nitrate to twenty parts of Distilled Water) (using the regular commercial solution of Silver Nitrate, see - one part of this to twenty parts of Distilled Water) - the nickel plate would also be attached to the lacteal duct and umbilicus plexus, but the copper plate would be attached to the lumbar axis.
23. Alternate the attachments and the solutions daily, in this manner. Do remove the wire connections from the containers when not in use. Attach the solutions at least twenty minutes before these are to be applied to the body.
24. Then, as to the matter of the psychological effect upon the body:
25. This requires patience, persistence. But through the period of following these applications, let there be someone that would stimulate the mind to look definitely for a manifestation in the body of the spiritual promises made to the children of men. And let the conversation be such to the body. Thus it should be done at the same period each day, and for thirty to forty minutes - during the time the
3057-1 Page 4
Appliance is being used.
26. After the use of the Appliance, let the body be massaged with a combination of oils prepared in this manner:
27. To 6 ounces of Nujol as the base, add - in the order named: Oil of Cedar Wood......................1 ounce, Oil of Pine Needles....................1 ounce, Oil of Sassafras......................10 minims, (apparently a very small quantity, but it is sufficient to change the vibration of this massage).
28. This should not only be on the limbs and the torso, but in the locomotory centers, about the hips and the groin, and the area between the shoulders and the shoulder blades.
29. Keep a well balanced diet, with sufficient of calcium to step up circulation. This (the calcium) we would take in the form of CALCIOS, daily. Spread this thinly on a whole wheat cracker and eat it, once each day.
30. Do these things, being patient and persistent, and we will find help; not a cure, but all who touch - or all who try - will find a blessing.
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) Any advice as to where these treatments should be followed, or as to the one who can give the suggestions? (A) This will require careful consideration. Someone preferably who has a tendency to spiritual understanding, well versed in New Thought, or in that called Christian Science, but not averse to using mechanical means also.
33. (Q) What causes the convulsions? (A) The inability of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems to coordinate impulses to the flexes of the brain. This takes place from a convulsion that begins in the lacteal duct areas.
34. (Q) Why does she have such a fear of falling? (A) This is part of its karma - for it made many others fall far!
35. (Q) Why can't she rise from the floor? (A) The inability of the stamina in the nerve and muscular forces of the body to be able to control same, voluntarily.
36. (Q) Are her legs and feet set properly in their sockets? (A) In the immediate present they are, but as indicated they tend to point in varied directions.
37. (Q) What is the condition of her muscles? and nerves? (A) They lack that vitality necessary, and hence the stamina of gold - as well as silver - is to be added. If there is any great change in a year, give thanks to Him who is ALL the healing that can be, whether only the power
3057-1 Page 5
of suggestion is used, the laying on of hands, the administering of any of the elements to supply a physical balance, or what not. But don't forget that the mental and spiritual balance must be kept also. Do these things, persistently, as they have been outlined. We are through for the present.
