Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern War Time. New York City.
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 have the body here, [3100].
3. In considering that as may prove helpful for this body, it will be well to consider the ENTITY as a unit, if there would be real help.
4. For, while we find there are pathological disturbances, these in their very nature indicate a prenatal disposition. Thus, if there would be physical or material help, the body's first approach will necessarily be the study of self.
5. Not in that attitude, "I didn't cause it," and "I wasn't the effect of being brought into the earth," neither in the condemning of someone else for those attitudes or the lack of consideration before the birth.
6. But rather consider that the self is being given an opportunity, here and now - if it will accept same - to interpret, to understand, and to be of help not only to self but in contributing something to the welfare of others in all their stages of development or seeking for physical, mental and spiritual help.
7. That the prenatal condition existed is evidenced by the cycle or period when these disturbances first appeared with the body, in the lack of those elements or abilities within the body-forces to reproduce the stamina necessary - in the nerves and muscles of the locomotory centers - for the use of same in a physically constructive, creative way or manner.
8. That there was the so-called MERITING of this interpretation, this understanding for this soul-entity, is indicated by the soul's choice and use of this opportunity for entrance into material manifestation.
9. Then, as you chose it, as you needed it, DO interpret it
3100-1 Page 2
properly.
10. Do not become one that finds fault with others, condemns others. For, know - as given of old - "Though He were the Son, yet even He learned obedience through the things which He suffered."
11. Would you be greater than the Son, who is the way, the truth and the light? and through Whom you may have that promise fulfilled, that where two agree concerning anything and ASK, they shall receive it - provided they LIVE and BE that which they ask?
12. Learn those lessons, then, knowing that as there were those elements lacking, there is the need for the proper interpretation in self along these lines!
13. Use those abilities of the mind in such measures and manners as to be ever a contributing influence for the creating of peace, harmony, love, kindness, gentleness, hope, in the minds and in the hearts of all with whom you come in contact day by day.
14. These are the first prerequisites if you would find help.
15. If you cannot accept this, forget it all. Do not even begin.
16. But DO accept; that you may know the truth, that may indeed set you free - in body, in mind, in spirit; that you may indeed be one with Him.
17. Those elements of gold and silver were lacking in those periods of gestation, which produced in the first cycle of activity the inability of the glands to create.
18. At the present time these may be so administered to the body as to become a part of the building structural forces, being assimilated in such a manner as to contribute to the physical well-being of the body; though such - in many quarters - becomes questionable.
19. For this particular body we find that this may be accomplished through the B Battery, prepared in such a manner that the charge from the positive pole of the B Appliance or B Battery will discharge, or pass through, the Chloride of Gold Solution and, alternately, the Nitrate of Silver Solution, in such a manner as to discharge the vibrations from same into the body.
20. Use the B Battery, then, prepared with a nickel or German silver plate to be attached to the body. This particular plate, attached to the positive pole of the Battery, would pass through the Chloride of Gold Solution one day and the Nitrate of Silver the next day, or the vibration of these properties would pass through the hollow lead tube to which the plate is attached, see? The charge
3100-1 Page 3
would be built through this and discharged into the body-forces. On the negative pole would be used a copper plate which also would be attached to the body. Both of these plates should be small, and should be kept thoroughly polished before and after using. For the first two or three applications a gauze should be placed between the body and the positive plate.
21. These are not brain lesions. Thus the attachments to the body will be of a different nature.
22. Take the connections from the bottles when not in use. Connect to the Appliance about three to five minutes before being attached to the body.
23. The Gold Solution would be used one day (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water, and use at least three ounces), the Nitrate of Silver Solution the next day (in the proportions of an ounce and a half of a two percent solution of Silver Nitrate in the alcohol, you see - to one and a half ounces of Distilled Water).
24. Make the attachments for twenty minutes; the positive first attached to the right wrist, the negative to the left ankle; next day the positive to the left wrist, negative to right ankle - and so on, circulating the attachments about the body; that is, the next day the positive would be attached to the left ankle, the negative to the right wrist; the next day the positive to the right ankle, the negative to the left wrist. Thus a circuit will have been made. Then commence all over again. One day the Gold, the next day the Silver - for twenty minutes.
25. After fifteen applications with each Solution, renew the Solution.
26. Each day following the use of the Appliance, massage gently the ganglia and centers along the spine; the locomotory centers especially in the lumbar and sacral, the 9th dorsal, and the brachial plexus, also the cervical; that those elements supplied vibratorially through the Appliance may be distributed through the body in such manners as to enable the body cellular force to recuperate, in the nerve energies, in the tendons and muscular forces. Thus there may be the building of sufficient energies to bring back to physical usefulness those parts of the body that at the present time have become nil in their activity. Massage the whole length of the cerebrospinal system, including the limbs, the feet and the arms; the 3rd cervical, brachial center - or 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, 9th dorsal, and throughout the lumbar area.
27. After these treatments are begun, keep to a diet of very
3100-1 Page 4
plain but stable foods; that is:
28. At least once each day have some raw, fresh vegetables.
29. Little of meat, but this should include ONLY fish, fowl or lamb - properly prepared; not fried; neither are they to be prepared with other foods - that is, other seasonings except butter or margarine - and save the juices from the foods themselves.
30. The vegetables for this body should all be prepared in their own juices, as in Patapar Paper, and seasoned with butter or margarine that is reinforced.
31. No foods should be fried in fats.
32. Do these, and we offer the greater opportunity for helpfulness for this body of [3100].
33. And remember, the first consideration is to be the mental attitude.
34. Ready for questions.
35. (Q) What causes the right side of my jaw to slip out of place? (A) Talking too much, and then this is a part of the advancement of this condition - when nothing has been done much about it!
36. (Q) Prescribe treatment for my bronchial and sinus condition. (A) All of these are of the same natures. If you will follow these applications suggested, there will be offered the better opportunity. BUT - unless the spiritual attitudes are changed and the usefulness directed, the material applications had better not be undertaken!
37. (Q) Are the use of tobacco and alcohol harmful to my physical condition? (A) What is your ideal? Would you prepare these for that you would worship as your Maker? If you would, use them. If you wouldn't, they are harmful.
38. (Q) How can I prevent my hands and feet from perspiring excessively? (A) By doing the things we have suggested. Do these things - and we are through with this reading.
