Time of Reading 10:45 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Nebraska.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find 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, [3169].
3. There is a great deal of disturbance in the physical forces of the body, that causes quite an aggravation to the body. Yet as we find, if there would be a change in attitude of the body toward life and its relationships to things around it, we might find a great deal of difference.
4. To be sure, these are pathological conditions; and, of course, there can oft be made a great deal of excuse for anyone suffering with intense headaches; especially those as here - that involve the 5th nerve; or as they become what are called migraine headaches.
5. We find that these areas primarily form disturbances in the cerebrospinal system, that - through a long period of time - have builded up those conditions which, with any aggravation to the imaginative or sympathetic nervous system, discharge, as it were, superabundance of energies that cause the pressures on the side and through portions of the temple and the head nerves themselves.
6. Hence the correct mental and spiritual attitude, as has been suggested, would be most necessary if we were to rid the body of these disturbances.
7. Not merely saying "I would be patient, I would be kind, I would show kindness, brotherly love and patience," but BEING such in the relationships to every form of condition that arises, or with every individual, in the experience of the body.
8. We would also use mechanical means, osteopathically administered; in attempting to stimulate any center by a gentle relaxing of the centers especially where there are
3169-1 Page 2
the greater connections between sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems; as in the coccyx area, 4th lumbar, 9th, 10th and 11th dorsal, brachial centers 1st, 2nd and 4th dorsal - and throughout the cervical area RELAX the body.
9. We would give those at least twice a week.
10. Soon after each osteopathic treatment is given relax the body thoroughly with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. When this is attached, let this be used by the body as its period of meditation and prayer. These should not be merely words but experienced within self, experience them to DO them!
11. FATHER, GOD! HERE AM I, SEEKING TO KNOW THY WAY WITH ME, AND HOW I - AS THY SERVANT - MAY DO AND BE THAT THOU WOULD HAVE ME BE. USE ME, OH, GOD, AS THY SERVANT, AS THY OWN CHILD. FOR, I SEEK AND CLAIM THE RELATIONSHIP PROMISED IN JESUS, THE CHRIST.
12. And do it! Not merely by the repeating of these words, but analyze thy life. And we will find that the use of every form of those things that have been helpful will change, and not be as necessary in the body.
13. When it is necessary to use the injections for the headaches, for the first few months, do so. They are not habit forming unless the body wholly, solely, depends on same.
14. The lenses for the eyes would be well to keep when necessary to use the eyes the more.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What is suggested for difficulty with eliminations? (A) Just use those things indicated and add to the diet more fresh fruits and fresh vegetables whenever practical and possible. To be sure, occasionally it will be well to use a laxative; not so much a cathartic as a laxative. But with the corrections, these should become less and less necessary for the body.
17. We are through with this reading. Two copies to self (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (8/21/43 GD's note: See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of the Radio-Active Appliance.)
